Steamer Maj. TOmpIins in the
Sound,

We understand by the arrival of Mr..
John H. Scranton, owner of the above
steamer, that she was at Crescent City, on
her way to the Sound, when the Columbia
passed. Mr.. Scranton has gone to Port
Townsend to meet her She may, there
fore, be expected here in the course ITO
day or Tomorrow consumation most de-
voutedly wished for-and one that we
know every resident in the Territory will
be gratifed to learn.
This Steamer has been brought up here
entirely by the enterprise and energy Of
Mr.. Scranton, with the supposition that a
steamer was needed on the sound, to more
fully develope its resources-to accommo-
date the merchant, farmer and business
man, in the transmission Of MALL matter,
freight and passage to the various ports in
the Sound. 1t is his intention to make
weekly trips to every place of any note On
the Sound-provided the inhabitants will
take hold of the stock of the steamer in
connexion with himself. We are confident
that this will be done, and that too, imme-
diately. We are cognizant of the wants
Of the Sound to such an extent, that we
feel assured o1S citizens throughout the
Territory, will not let such an opportunity
pass to have steamer at once placed upon
our waters. That steamer plying on our
waters will add more towards the growth
and prosperity Of our territory, than any
other project, is apparent to us ALL In
connexion with the opening Of steam navi-
cation on the Sound, "Stuarts" Express
will be forwarded to every point, termi-
mating at Victoria, and we understand
that Immediately the enterprising Express

tend opening at this place Banking House

and along all the natural thoroughfares Of
travel and settlement.
Two years ago, and the only accessible
means of gaining transit to this Territory
was up the Cowlitz river in batteuax and
canoes, and family of six, or under, would
be compelled to pay at least 500 for their
migration hitherto drive their stock up
trail, and probably to enter our Territory
without a dollar. Now, a highway is
opened between the Sound and the Walla-
walla country. The indomitable spirit Of
our carly settlers first projected the scheme
of a highway across the Cascade noun
tains, leading into this Territory. Com
menced by private subscription of the peo-
pie Of Thurston and Pierce counties, sur
vey was made and wagon trail construct
ed last year, under the direction of parties
of men under the supervision Of Messrs.
Kirtley and Allen, of this county. Since
then the Nah Chess pass, through which
the road passes, has been adopted by the
Secretary of War as the basis for the con-
struction of military road, commencing
at Fort Walla-walla and terminating at
Fort Steiacoom; and the money appropri-
ted by Congress for its completion will be
spent thereon, under the direction of Lieut..
Arnold, U. S. A. We have now a very
pussable and practicable road leading di.
rectly into our Territory. .-
Two years ago, and the valuable coaI
fields of Bellingham Bay and Duwamisf
river were unexplored and unknown. Now
they are being laid bare, and an excellent
article of coal is in waiting to seek a mar
ket at San Francisco. The oyster bed,
of the coast are being improved-the fish
cries of the Sound and Straits hold out the
hand of invitation to the smacks of the
Atlantic, and our lumbermen can take cour
age in view of the prospect that ere long
the islands of the Pacific will come to theil
rescue, and exchange the products Of the
Sandwich, Australia and Society Islands
for the numbering resources of our Terri
tory. Within the last few months, several
vessels from Honolulu, Oahu, have trans
mitted cargoes of lumber to those, oul
neighboring islands, bringing in exchange
the products of sugar, salt, syrup, rice, &c
of that highly favored region of country
Several vessels in the Sound are fitting out
cargoes for Australia, China, and Other
portions of the oriental east, and all things
at present conspire to point out Washing
ton Territory, and particularly the Sound
and Straits, as the home and harbor Of the
innumerable whalers in the Pacific. We
commence q new volume with renewed
hopes Of successful termination in 1855.

that after the election was over, aud ample

this hope am disappointed. Is it true
that the four whig candidates were placed
in nomination by an alliance between wings
and abolitionists ? The charge is utterly
false The four whig candidates were
placed in nomination by purely wbig con-
vention, in which convention there was not
one abolitionist, nor was the question of
free soil or abolition either thought of or
hinted at. Is it true there was an alliance
between the whig party and an abolition
partyl This charge, too, is equally un-
founded in truth. What constitutes an
alliance? 1t is an agreement, confedera-

House of Representatives.

Mr.. LETTER said that as he had received two
votes, for some days, during the voting for a
Speaker, II was proper for him TO remark that he
had never been nor would he be, a candidate for
that Office. He made this explanation, lest il
might be supposed there was something wrong
on his part. He had voted for Mr.. BANKS as con.
sistently and regularly as any man on that eide Of
the House.
Mr.. STEWART explained his position, which
he said was somewhat peculiar. He had come
here under no special or distinct organization
not as party man, nor a supporter Of the Ad-
mnslraton, but 10 discharge his duty 10 his coun-
try rs representative Of the people. He assign
ed his reasons for voting for Mr.. RICHARDSON
from the beginning; and incidenty alluded 10 the
fact that the position OF that gentleman as well as
the position Of Mr.. FULLER, had been fully ex-
planned; but that Mr.. BAsKs's bad not. He wished
TO know whether the last-named member did not
say, IN speech delivered in Maine, that he would
"let the Union sidew The gentleman should
put himself right on this question.
Mr.. BANKS desired only one word in reply
lie had never expressed an Indifferent feeling 10
the Union. In the speech alluded 10, he express
ed the sentiment Of almost every man nj the
North, that there might be such state Of things
existing when good men would become disafect.

ference 10 future contingencies-such as he pros
tration Of the powers OF this government 10 the
support Of single institution. He was for the
union Of the States as il IL, and would ever meet
guarantor of the rights Of the States, and the
main prop Of the liberty Of the people. and, in
the language Of Washington, IL should stand on
the record Of history crowned with immortal
fame"
Mr. SMITH, Of Virginia, was not satisfied with
the answer.
Mr. BANKS remarked he had said all he de.
sired to say
Mr. GROW said, in reply TO Mr.. SMITH, that
every member who has been here for the last four
years, has heard a declaration repeated by some

Rehearsal Of the French Emperor,s
speech.

The Paris correspondent Of the Manchester
Guardian relates the following anecdote:
II is certain that Louis Napoleon calculated
admirably the effects Of his speech, knew that
they ought to be considerable, and was resolved
on his own part TO leave nothing undone which
should assure 10 his speech its fullest measures
Of success. An anecdote, the authenticity OF
which can vouch for, will show you how de-
termined he was that nothing in so very seri.
Gus matter should be left to chance. The
great fear was lest, in SO vast y building the
sound Of the human voice should be altogether
lost; and il was predicted that even the enor.
nous mass of instruments and chorusses would
have very small radiance Of sound. The
Emperor was seriously pre-occupied by this,
Tor he knew he was going to speak to all
Europe, and that it was necessary all Europe
should hear him distinctly. He consulted seve-
raj men Of art on this point, who advised re.
currence to the system Of the ancients, and
suggested the placing Of what are called vessels
Of resonance under the throne, and at stated
angles Of sound in the building ITSELF This
was done, and those learned in the acoustic
science we're Of opinion that everything was in
order. The Emperor, however, was not yet
satisfied, and on the night OF the l4th-l5th,
between one and two o'clock ia the morning, be
arrived to make trial in his own person. Ac.
companied by five or six Of his suite, and hav.
ing appointed a commissary Of the Crystal
Palace to meet him, he entered the gigantic
nave Of the lndustrie, and posting his followers
in different parts Of the building, he delivered
in loud voice his speech from the throne.
The resonance was immense; each nearer in
succession assured him Of this, and be quietly
replied: "Now, then, am sure Of my intona
tons" You may remember that on the 18th
the subject Of universal astonisbment was the
loudness and sonorousness Of the Emperor's
voice, which is naturally neither loud nor son.
orous. The remark Of every man one met was,
what stentoriap tonesp How did he mar
age TO be so clearly heard in such a space2'
&c. tell you this, because, as / said, can
answer for it's absolute truth, and because it
shows the extreme importance Louis Napoleon
attached to the success Of his speech.

from Maryland would accept the substitute, he

attention to the fact that by the law, Speaker
must be elected and the members sworn in, be-
fore there can be any other business transacted.
