Election Of a vshig Speaker n iass'

Bosroy, JaI. ., lsiS-
When l closed ny letter last night, there aP-
peared to De fsis prospect thss the House W0a'a
cone TO q ballot for Speaker before adjournment.
TIE Loso-Focos, however, we're determined 70
ssavs OF the question until today; aad By alter
nate motions TO postpone baloting TO particular
nne and to adjourn, they finally succeeded IN
wearying the patience Of g portion CT the Wings
and thus procuring an adjournment until 10 o'caok
this morning. Last night b-th parties held eau
cnses. 70 consider the measures 10 be pursued IN
sucherne.geacies as were likely to arise.
This morning, az 10 o'clock, the House came
together az usual AID by general consent proceed
ed to balo. for Speaker FER the fourth time, with
the following result:
Whole number of fvotes $50, necessary choice
70. Thomas Kinnecui "his).----..--.... liz
SehJ. Tbamas, tLocol
Daniel P. Kiag, twhig)
The votes for King, it is understood, were cast
by men belonging to the Liberty party, 50 called,
who had resolved thar they would not vote TOR
Kinuecutt, he being more obnoxious TO that party
than King Oae Liberty party nan (the gentle
man from Georgetown) did not vote ct all
In these circumstances Mr.. Kinnecutt declined
being candidate, and the Wings went in a body
Tor King The Loco + ocos also changed their
candidate and put up Lewis Williams OF Easton,
Liberty party Loco-Foco, (lhc man for whom the
votes OF four Llberty-pariy men were cast on
Wednesday, in the hope of thereby securing
enough Of the Loertypnrty strength, as they would
have done il the Libcrty-party Wings had not pre-
ferred Wing, somewhat favorable to Abolition,
10 a Loco Eoco member of their own party The
filth ballot resulted in the choice of King by one
majority, as follows:
Whole npnb-r of votes, s5; necessary to choice, 10
For Daniel r Mag twhis I!S
For Seth j. Tbomas, (Lccol.. .
The gentleman from Georgetown, who did not
vote on the fourth ballot, is supposed to have
turned the scale on the fifth by going for King,
(Whig) instead of Williams, member of his own
party Does not this show the folly of forming
political party on the basis of Abolition alone !
The members OF such party will always prefer
moderate friend to Abolition, who, at the same
time, agrees with them In general politics, to n
member of their organization who differs
with them on the grcatprinciples which are ProE-
nent il the political discussions of the day.
Mr.. KING formerly President of the Senate
having been conducted to the Chair, made very
appropriate speech, alluding very happily to the
peculiar circumstances OF his election, and pIcds-
ing his best efforts to discharge the difficult and
reSpohsoIe Gutics VI 9Pcdhci III d iaii a-i
tio manner.
Mr.. TARsELL (Loco,) moved vote of thanks
to the Wing Clerk for The able and fair manner in
which he had performed the duties devolving upon
him during the four days struggle to orgasize the
House, which was passed unanimously.
After assigning time to elect Sergeart-at-
Arms, and debating for time proposal TO assign
time for eccting Chaplain, the House adjourned
| ill Monday. and then proceeded TO the Old South
to attend the usual exercises Of public worship.
There is scarcely any ground for hope, think,
that the Wings will be able to fill the vacancies
in the Senate, by the election of their candidates.
The Loco Focos have now majority of four in
that body, which will give them majority of two
ballot, unless they lose the oapport of sew
era Liberty party men, who understood 10
nave voted with them in the choice of Spesker.--
| The election OF Morton as Governor is placed,
think, almost beyond n doubt.
Yours, &c. HANCOCK.
