The ELECTION OF SPEAKER,-On this

OF a paper which manifests iocooco

bers, that they proposed the rule by
which alone an election could be made,
although they well knew that it would
result in the election Of Democratic
Speaker. There we're at least two Of
the members Of the Wing committee Of
six who were decidedly n favor Of effec.

under Democratic ascendency The
Wing committee knew we'll that the
Southern members would not, in anv

Another correspondent Of the same pa
per says:
Mr.. Cobb's election, apart from all par.
ty bias, is a most fortunate provldential
thing for the whole country. His posi-
ton is known and understood. He is,
as he indicated in his shor, speech, a
Unlonist, and no one but Uniopist, it
is TO be hoped, will ever occupy the
Speakers chair in the House of Repre-.

Mr. Cobb possesses every property that
can qualify a member for the high Of

of the House. He is cool, calm, col

"On the purely abstract question Of
slavery in California, New Mexico, OF

And sing the hymn of parted soul
Beneath the silent night.

The president and the Fugitive slave Law,

We learn that the President has ordered the
military and naval forces at Boston to aid the Uni
ted States Marshals if necessary to enforce the
law of the last session of Congress, in regard to the
recapture of fugitive slaves. This order is made
in consequence Of the recent riotous proceedings in
that city of fugitive slaves and their allies, the
abolitionists. These proceedings have gone so far
as to exhibit a determination, which, indeed has
been expressed in so many words, Of resisting the
enforcement OF the law at every hazard.
In issuing the order referred to, President Fit
more has done but simple act of duty. Ii, in his
opinion, the execution of the law was rendered
doubtful by resistance to it from any quarter what
ever, it was his obvious duty to provide every
| available means at his command to put an END TO
such resistance. This was his duty, as the chle'
| executive officer of the government II was not
his right TO question the constltutonallty or pro-
| orietv of the law If on this point he had any
doubts, it was in his power, as II was MS ny ~
to have applied the veto when the BILL Passeu ny
the two houses of Congress, was presented to MN
| for his sanction. Having sanctioned IT. and thus
,i,sn il the shape and force of law, he no longer
anv control over it, except to see that 1t Is en-
forced in all cases in which its enforcement is made
necessary
The order of the President, above referred to, o.
which. as vet, we only have Geographic account
| will no doubt. be the subject of much animadyer
| sion and abuse from the higher law party, ant
| mad additions of the Eastern and Northern States
| Hence our present reference to it. We may, here
| after, refer to it at greater length.

the cavity of the abdomen. There was also SUI
perfcial wound on the right side Of the lower part
Of the abdomen. The ball that produced this had
glanced of. Captain McShea it was found, had
been shot in the centre and upper part of the right
thigh. Both balls were deeply lodged in the limb.
A ball had likewise passed through the upper part
OF the back Of his coat and waistcoat. The latter
ball must have struck him when he was in a stoop-
ing posture. From the apothecary shop the
wounded officers were conveyed, SIaven to Lis
residence, in Eleventh street. above Carpenter, and
Captain McShea to his lodgings, at the Corpora
ton Hall. DR.. Evans took charge of the former
and DR.. Thatcher, the latter. Slaven was after
wards attended by Drs. Heating and Cheesemau.

Slaven little better this forenoon yet scarcely
a reasonable hope of his recovery could be enter
tanned. The wound in his breast is believed to be
mortal. The wounds Of Captain McShea, though
painful not deemed dangerous Mr.. Saver
and Captain McShea, were two OF the best officers
in the district They both have families. To
show the dastardly character OF the villains who
shot them, they actually fired volley into the
crowd about the drug store into which the wounded
policemen were carried. Philadelphia Bulletin

place in Moyamelsing. A small shed in the
