THE SPEAKER.

We here prese Mt the readers of the Weekly News
with portrait Of the Hon. John w. Davis, the re-
Gently elected Spe aker Of the House of Representa-
tives Mr.. Davis has had much experience in Con-
gress, and is peculiarly adapted for the distinguish
ed position TO which, by his own energies, he has
attained. If we mistake not, he is native of the
State Of New York, where he studied medicine as a
profession, and some twenty years ago cmigrated to
the Far West to trust his fortunes to tickle chance.
He was then married, and with scanty means
much of his earthly possessions being horse and
gig-he and his wife travelled westward, without
any definite object. At length they found them.
selves in Indiana, with exhausted exchequer; but
prevdentiay, the village in which they found them
selves was at that time visited by an epidemic, by
which the only physician of the place was prostra-
ted. Mr.. Davis was locked up to as an angel of
mercy sent to the relief of the settlers. He attended
diligently to their sick; and as the old physician
soon died, Mr. Dvais became the only medical
practitioner in that region of country Indiana,
like the other western States grew rapidly, and DR..
Davis grew in public esteem; he was elected to va
rious Offices in the gift Of the people, and served
them faithfully. At length he was sent to Congress,
wider and more distinguished theatre, in which he
made himself name that has secured his elevation
to the proud pinnacle on which he now stands.
Mr.. Speaker Davis will preside over the delibera-
tons Of the House of Representatives with dignity
and ability. He has command ing person, deci-
sion of character and perfect similarity with the
duties of his Office He is a sterling democrat, but
he is too patriotic and just to prostitute his power to
party purposes.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The journal having been read
The SPEAKER announced the regular order OF
business, the reception of petitions from the States,
in order.
Mr. BRODHEAD called for the regular orders
Mr.. ADAMS rose to a correction Of the journal.
He wished TO state that the several remonstrances
against the annexation Of Texas, as a slave State,
presented by him yesterday, were laid on the table
series, which laid the table by distinct vote
Of the House) The journal was corrected accsd-
ingly.
The regular business being resumed,
Mr.. ADAMS presented u remonstrancc, similar
TO those preceding demonstrating against the adms-
sion of Texas as slave State. Remarking that he
had many more reonstrances of this nature TO pre-
sent, and that he supposed the Committee on Terri
tories had concluded their deliberations on the sub
ject in the production OF the report referred to- he
now repeated the motion he had previously made 10
refer this memorial together with the others previ-
ously presented, 10 n select committee to he compo-
sed Of one member from each State in the Union
Mr. BOYD moved to lay the remonstrance on the
table Agreed TO-
Mr. ADAMS, still retaining the floor, remarked
that, from the proceedings Of the House upon these
memorials Of which he had presented number,
and Of which he, as well as other gentlemen, had
numbers TO present, he inferred that u was not
intended that these rcmonstfunces should oe heard
that il was intended to have this measure carried
through without any reference respect TO the re-
monstrances against II. He had, therefore, to sub.
nit to what appeared to be the decision, or the in
ten,ioa Of the House, and had nothing more TO do
than 10 present these memorials as they had been
forwarded to him, and leave the House to decide
upon them they thought proper
Mr. ADAMS thereupon proceeded TO present his
large file Of petitions in accordance with the notice
he had given
The SPEAKER said he would respectfully state
TO the House that, inasmuch as the House had once
determined to lay memorable of this description on
the table, the Chair would order the Clerk to dis
pose Of them, unless otherwise ordered by the
House.
