THE SPEAKER AND CLERK.

we announced in our last the elec,ion of the Hon.
- nny. noyd. OF Kentucky, a. Speaker of the House
~. en'at'ves; nf', and to-day We give the vote.
.'. .''yu welt qualified for the duties of the dis
"ngo''neo posi- TO which he had been called. Ha h,.
had much experience ~ member oe the H,.s. .,a
is thoroughly acquainted with Parl;amen,,rv los,
He is gentleman Of exeeneu, commo, ..n.. ..s
possesses that order Of judgmen. and 6tmne.s of
character essential in presiding officer. H. ia
Democratic Republican Of the best stamp.
We are also highly gratided at the election Of Mr.
Forney as Clerk of the House. No man has show,
himself better entitled to the confidence and estseu
of the National Democracy than John w. Forney
His election was due to the noble Republicans o
Pennsylvania, as we'll to himself for his usfinch
Jag advocacy of the Constitution and the fugitive
slave law, in the midst Of the bitterest demonstra
tons against both. No man contributed more than
overthrowing that infamous Abolition Wing, Gov.
Johnston. -
The House has moved off well, so far as the elec.
ton of its officers is concerned We have no doubt
that the election of these gentlemen to the above
named posts will give perfect satisfaction to the De-
mocracy Of the whole county.
The Wings, it seems, had no regular candidate for
Speaker. They scattered on Stevens, Stanly, and
others. S,anly received several votes from Massa-
chusetts, and only two three from the slavehodng
States: We congratulate him upon his success
in securing just one of his colleagues from North
Carolina, ou, of six. The unanimous vote Of Alfred
Dockery for Edward Stanly, shows how popular
Stanly is among those who know him best That
vote was worthy of Dockery. His s. irmness Of pur-
pose and great strength intellect never more
strkingy displayed. We do not, however, credit the
report that Dockery is TO be selected by the two
