The House illcreupon adjourned.
THURSDAY, Oct u.
After session of fifteen days, and an
expense to the State of at least Sl0-
600, the Legislature las at last succec.
dcd in clccting John s. Robinson as
Governor for the year ensuing, 10y one
mqjoyity This result finally accom-
plishcd by the treachcry of not less than
five members elected as Wings, and by
the aid Of majority of the Frccsollcrs
has not been unexpected, since the re.
suit of the September election was
known From that hour to this, few
Frccsoilers, headed by C. X Field and
+ d. Barber. have determined to sell
themselves out, at the highest possible
price. to the Old Line Locofocos. and to
return 10 their old ATTY ranks, carrying
with them as large portion Of the Free
soil party as they could scdnce into their
service The FIFTEEN uubought and un-
terrified mcmb RS, who refused to follow
such leadership, deserve all honor for
their frmness and their manly resistance
alike to the threats and the blandsh-
mcnts Of the Locofocos in disguise, who
maneuvred SO long and desperately to
drive them from their consistent and
honorable position.
Six ballotings this forenoon resulted
as follows

10th. frc blanks were cast in the same
way. OF course, the blanks were not
counted
This day has also been signalzld by
the election of new Clerk of the House
of Representatives, in the person of our
townsman, James NJ. Sladc, Esq, free
s@!l:j Who was also elected by one major
ity, on the second ballot this forenoon,
(beiag the fourth in ally by Locofoco
aud Frcosoil coalition. Mr. Slade is q
ready and good writer, and has had ex.
pcrience as a Clerk in one of the De.
partments at Washington. though he is
not at all versed in the duties of the Of
fee to which lie is elected. A new
Speaker, with an entirely new set Of
Clerks, is not very likely to expedite
business with wonderful rapidly. That
however, is matter to which the re-
: sponsible parties must look. They have
an account current with the people, and
will 10 doubt spend money with liberal
hand, SO long as the people trust them

chief attraction, and drew much the lar

Democracy, called last evening by Mr.

tors, and one colored individual, who af
forwards withdrew, Con suggestion o
Mr.. Sampson and sought out the gen
nine Freesolcrs, assem- led in another
, place.
This latter convention embraced mucl

destined to continue any length of time
