U. s. SENATOR IN IowA.-The question
whether or no Harland has been elected to the
u. s. Senate, as member for Iowa, depends
upon the settlement of the question whether
or not the convention of the members of the
two houses Of the Legislature, when Assem-
bled for purposes Of election, is self-existe MT
body, capable of adjournment. Ii it is So
and SO it has, we believe, been always con-
sidered in Ohio-Harlan is regularly elected.
The convention met according to constitu-
tional forms, balloted, failed 10 elect, adj
journmeLt, and made choice of Harlan, who
was declared elected. |; is true that the
Senate attempted to prevent an election by
an adjournment; but we do not see how the
case is varied by this circumstance.

G Mr.. Humphreys, an Old Liner in the
House, appears greatly worried about preach
ers interfering in politics, and few days ago
offered resolution, the preamble of which
alluded to pulpits being converted into polit-
ical stumps. and ministers telling "impudent
falsehoods" from their sacred desks, &C.
The resolution was very promptly put down
by vote of 60 to Is! We should think af.
ter this rebuke Mr.. Humphreys would keep
his mouth shut the remainder Of the session
thus hiding his insignifcance In silence. in.
stead of attracting attention to it BY such
scontemptible absurdities.

SOUTHERN DEPENDEScE UPON THE NORTH.
We make the following extract from a speech
made by Mr.. Albert Piks, at the Southern
Convention recently held in Chrrleston, s.
G.. Said MIR. Pike:
sit is time that we should look about US,
and see in what relation we stand to the
North. From the rattle with which the
nurse tickles the ear ofthe child born in the
South, to the shroud that covers the cold
form of the dead, everything comes to US
from the North. We rise between sneets
made in Northern looms, and pillows Of
Northern feathers, to wash in basins made
in the North, dry our boards on Northern
towels, and dress ourselves in garments wo-
ven in Northern looms; we eat from North
ern plates and dishes; our rooms are swept
with Northern brooms, our gardens dug with
Northern spades, and our bread kneaded in
trays or dishes of Northern wood or tin; and
the very wood which feeds our fires is Cut
with Northern axes, helved with hickory
brought from Connecticut and New York.
