MONDAY MORNING; DECEMBER OIL.
CONGRESS-.

On Monday, December Sd, the Senate met, or
panized and adjourned. In the House they were
not quite so successful. Upto the latest accounts
from Washington, which are dated at that city at
= o,clock. p Il of the 9TH instant, no organization
of the House-of Representatives had taken place.
So closely are the parties divided, that no man as
vet has been able to obtain a majority of all the
votes. From the best classification that can be
made, the democrats have two or three votes more
than the wings, but a third party, consisting Of
about a dozen members, drawn partlyafron both
parties, commonly called "freesoilers, i" "gangt their
ain gait,' giving aid and comfort to whom they
please, and control the ''balance of power" NJ
Cobb, of Alabama was nominated by ademocratic
caucus, and Mr. r C Winthrop, of Massachusetts,
the former Speaker, by a wing caucus. On the
first, second and third days Mr. Cobb was well sup.
ported by the party, a few freesoilers deserving
Mr. Winthrop was not quite so well supported by
his party at first, but the 9Th, 9th and 9TH days he
obtained near his party's strength-he is himself
''freesoiIer," and will not 60 down with a few who
have the fear of their constituents in their eyes.
Several others received small votes, the most
prominet of whom are Potter and Gentry, wings,
and Richardson, Of Illinois, and Wilmot, demo.
Gratis.
During the two last days, the democratic vote
appeared to be settling upon Col Richardson. lie
is q young member, of6ne talents and a good heart,
and would make an acceptable Speaker. His cleo.
tion would be a merited compliment to himself as
well as to his young and patriotic State.
How much more time will be consumed in abor
tive ~efortsIat an election, time only can tell. A
motion has been made to declare the person receiv
ing tie highest vote elected, and laid on the table
BY no to z votes. The difficulty is attributed tc
the peculiar views Of a few. We may look for the
Presidents message when we hear Of the election
Of q Speaker.
