COrfespOmOeDcc state Gizard. i WAsnrNGroN GITY, April 20, ls1S. I In the House, yesterday, after speech or two upon the contested election case it was put to vote. The question was on a resolution declaring, in effect, that ncith- CT was entitled to the scat. For this there were but thirteen yeas, to some two hun red nays. The next question was on a resolution affirming the right of the demo- crat, Jackson, to the scat, which was lost by ten majority. A similar motion, de- claring Manroc the whig, entitled, wasnes- atived by thirteen majority. Some of the thirteen who first voted that neither was entitled, afterwards voted that neither was i--so much for the corrupting influence of federalism. What else, pray, would have induced gentlemen thus to stultiiy them selves?
 The case goes back to the people on the simple failure to affirm the right of either to the s,at which, those learned in the law of New York say, prevents q new election until the fall whereas, had the dccission been in so many words that the scat is vacant, the Governor could at once have issued his writ for new election.
 hear that the District is whig by a large majority, and that Mir. Jackson only managed to achieve a victory in it through q split in the whig party the natives run. ming a candidate. As nativcism is famed out now--dcad as hcrring-the whig candidate must succeed, for nine natives in every ten vote the federal ticket, when forced to choose between federalism and democracy.
 An immense crowl-.housands-as- sembled around the abolition prin,ing of fee at an early hour, preparatory to tos- sing is types, presses, &c. into tho street. Men of sense. however, managed to toll the people little distance off, to con ycnicnt position for public speaking, and two or three gentlemen made specc cs, generally advocating mildcr course than the people were disposed to adopt. They proposed to give the aboliIionists time to pack up and be of.
 The Abolitonists, on being waited on by committed, are said to have declined moving. So the chance is, that ere twcn- ty,four hours their printing establishment will be thrown into the street.
 Our political friends, the country over. are becoming neryousl y excited upon the subject of the nomination by the National Democratic Convention, as the time for holding it approaches. l refer pariic- ularly 10 the North and West. It is to be presumed that the New York disorgani- gers will be accommodated with the at tainmcnt of their evident desire to refuse admission into the convention. It is we'll understood here that they do not intend to support any candidate who can possibly obtain the nomination. The absolute certainty of this fact is rapidly creating a general desire to see them turned off with out moro ado. Their leaders, for years past have been playing to throw the par ty in the minority. Having effected this in New York, their game is to defeat us by means of the probable loss of their Stale. This, no one believes they will be able to achieve, as we can, without doubt, triumph without their State. wish to see her vote cast against us to rid us off these iishy politicians.
 In both Houses to-day, we have had an excited time over resolutions bearing, in some way or other, on the late kidnapping affair. Hale introduced resolutions in the Senate and Paltrcy in the House. The latter gave rise to some fifteen very able speeches, though short. Vcnable, who introduced an amendment to authorize the proper committee to enquire whether any member, (Gidlings,) has been menaced and to also enquire whether members had tempered with slaves, or aided and abetted negro o-stcaling, electrified the House with one oI the greatest speeches ever deliver cd in that Hall. Tho speakers, with the exception of i'roadhcad of Va., were all Northern men. They one and all stood on the same anti-abolition platform. l'
