of Irishmen here, if it were possible who voted
for the "Peope's Constitution" but they had
never been heard of before or since. He would

ELECTION OF PRESIDENT AND vIcE-PR EsIDENT.
The unfinished business of Yesterday was the
consideration of the bill introduced by DIR. Dun
can, and upon which the DR.. made an election
eerng speech
Mr.. CLINGMAN had the floor, and the rules
were suspended one hour TO enable him to repTy
to the Dr.'s TRADE of two hours. Mr.. C. needed
less time for this purpose, but he occupied the
hour.
After Mr. C. concluded the rules were sus-
pended, on motion of Mr.. Mckay, for the pur-
pose OF going into Committee of the Whole.
This motion, after some hesitation, was agreed to-
Mr.. DROMGOOLE was called to the Chair
WEST POINT.
The bill making appropriations for carrying
on this Academy was taken up.
Several amendments to the bill were made
and rejected.
Mr.. HALE, of NJ H., moved, in conformity
with instructions from his State, which instruc-
tons he obeyed with alacrity, the abolition Of
the Academy, and made speech for this pur-
pose
Mr.. DANA, of N. Y, followed on the same
side. He objected to the Academy chiefly as an
aristocratic institution, where the sons Of mem
bers of Congress and other Government func-
tionaries were educated instead of orphans and
the poor.
Mr.. GIDDINGS stated here, that several
years since he was called upon to fill vacancy
for his district; he had son of sufficient age
and qualifications, but would not nominate him,
nor could he find any one in his county who
would send son there.
Mr.. DANA remarked that the gentleman's
district was peculiar in many respects (aughter.)
When Mr.. D. finished, the committee rose,
and the House adjourned.

THE CHARTER ELECTION.


Wednesday last being the day appointed by
the Mayor of Washington, as chairman Of the
meeting of citizens, and in pursuance of resolu-
ton passed by them, the citizens of the First
Second, Third, and Fifth Wards (the Fourth and
Sixth having declined to open polls) assembled
at the places designated, and deposited their
votes for delegates to convention for framing
charter for the city of Washington, to be laid
before Congress for their consideration. The
friends of each ticket conducted themselves with
great proprety and good humor, and notwith-
standing the large number at times collected
together at the polls of the Second and Third
Wards, we have heard of nothing tending to mar
the occasion. Of course where there were SO
many candidates, some were obliged to be left
behind; and we hope all such will be able to
bear it with good grace, though some may
have been lille too sanguine Of success. And
we must congratulate our friends on the utter
prostration of such utraisns in respect to the
charter as was evinced by the Locofocos. In the
Third Ward, particularly. (where regular Lo-
cofoco ticket was run) every effort was made
that party bias and the tactics of party could
effect, but without success. The " old Third'
stood firmly, and maintained her title as the
Gibraltar Of Wing principles" notwithstand-
ing the disadvantage Of having run two tickets.
There is cause for regret in the absence from
the polls of our oldest and most deeply interested
ciizens; interest, at least, if no higher motive.
should have prompted them to perform their
whole duty; and we hope an instructive lesson
may be taught them-not to depend too much
upon their strength, or the justice Of their cause
But for the efforts of the hard working and indus
trious mechanics, who rallied when danger was
at hand we should now have but little to hope
or care for in our municipal affairs. But we are
satisfied as things now stand, and believe, from
the character and experience Of the gentlemen
selected in the various Wards, that what the
people want will be done, and that justice will
be meted out equally to all sections. A large
majority of those elected, Especially those in
the Second and Third Wards,) are favorable to
an extension of the right of suffrage to every
citizen of Washington who shall have been as
sessed or registered on the books of the Corpo-
ton, and shall have paid poll or other tax or
license Of not less amount than ST. as well as
of the taxation of bank and other stocks, and a
liberal system of common school instruction.
These objects accomplished, with representation
on population) we believe the people of Wash
ington will be satisfied.

PENNsYLvAN1A.-The Wing Convention of
this State, on the twenty second ballot, nomi-
mated Gen. Joseph Markle as the Wing candidate
for Governor.
w. B. Reed, of Philadelphia, and John Strohm,
of Lancaster, were appointed delegates for the
State at large to the Wing National Convention
Townsend Haines, of Chester, and Chester
Butler, of Luzurne, were appointed electors for
the State at large.
The Harrisburg Intelligencer says: ave con-
graduate our brethren upon the zeal, ardor, and
unanmity evinced by the Wing Convention
throughout its deliberations Nothing, we are
happy to say, in the slightest degree calculated
to disturb the union and harmony of the party
transpred during the sitting Of the Convention.
While all is discord and strife in the ranks of our
opponents, we are prepared to rush into the thick
est of the fight with a solid and unbroken pha-
lanX."
The Locos, at the last accounts, had not begun
to ballot for Governor. They have as pretty a
fight in their organization as can we'll be ina
