WASHINGTON, Wednesday, De-, 10, 1855.
Speeches have consumed another day in the
House, but not without some advantage, for day

cause, by strengthening the resolution of its sup
porters, or exposing the infrmiy of its protested
friends Mr.. Campbell Of Ohio, who held the
floor at the adjournment yesterday, declined to

Mr. Banks ran up to 1O2 on reduced aggregate
Mr.. Barclay of Pa, who was referred to 10 the
debate yesterday as Democrat who had been
elected in opposition TO the Nebraska bill, endesv-
ored to disclsim that imputation by coarse blds
ttripg, which only provoked the ridiculs of both
s;des. He sbucurced his deter nination to oppose

Compromise. on the ground that it would be inju-

This is the sort of patriotism which anmates such

they usually exhibit after cOntrviDg to mislesd the

MIR. Ball Of Ohio made a similar explanation,
