Nashville daily patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1855-1857, 1855-12-25
The National Americans iu the House
of IEeprcsenIatiNes.

This noble little band Of conservatives
occupy n proud position before the country.
For more than twenty days they have stood
as a breakwater preventing the tide of sec
tionalsm from bearing of on its turbid bo-
som the important office of Speaker, and
making Itself potent for evil. They have
resisted the sectionaliSm Of Black Republi-
caniSm on the one hand, and Democracy
on the other, and we trust they will main
tain with calm courage and fidelity their
stand, until sound National Speaker Of
their faith shall have been elected What
matters it if there be no Speaker chosen
for the next three months! What interest
of the country would suffer materially?
No great evil would come Of it, if Congress
should only organise in time to pass the
appropriation bills so as to keep the wheels
of government moving. One Of the curses
of this nation is zoo much cgisiation. If the
contest at Washington for the Spcakership
should by the irdomitable frmnesS Of the
National Americans, abridge the legislation
Of the present Congress, some good will
have been done the country. We admit
that the prolongation Of the contest is an
unfortunate spectacle TO be presented to
other nations that it may give the enc
mics OF republican Institutions an opportu-
nifty to assail the operations OF ours; but
it is better even to bear this than to be-
come party TO the triumph Of the enemies
of our institutions in our midst. In a strug
gle like this for principle, for Conservatism
against DeStructiysm, there can be no com
promise on the part OF the National Amer
leans. requiring them to succumb to either
of the other parties without diShonor; and
the people will not demand Of them so great
q sacrifice If evil should grow ont Of the
pFotracted struggle, the responsibility will
not rest upon them. They occupy a truly
national position, in support of a candidate
pledged to resist every attempt to reopen
the agitation Of slavery issues, and the
promptings of patriotism should induce ev-
cry national member of the House to rally
around them Their policy has been con-
ciiatory and just. They have uttered no
denunciatious against those who differ with
them in sentiment on party questions-they
have not in advance declared they would
hold no communion with others protesting
nationaIity-they have not wrapped them
selves up ia the robes Of party and with
Pharisaical assurance, set themselves up as
better than all other men. On the contra
nv, they have solicited combination Of all
national men upon common ground, and,
come what will, their skirts are clear-they
arc freed from responsibility

Special Correspondence Of the N. Y. Evening Post
Important from the United States North
Pacific Exploring Expedition.

Exploring Expedition, San Francisco.


When off the coast of Kamschatka, with
Maury's line and Brooke's lead, bottom was
obtained from depth of 100 tathoms. The
specimen was Immediately put under the mi.
croscope of 500 linear, and there were seen
iufusoria that were probably alive before be-
ing relieved of the enormous pressure at that
depth. Many of them were fresh and clear,
with the central brown dsculOraton which
indicates the animate or recently animate con-
dilon of the vital organs.
A doubt was expressed as 10 their coming
from the bottom of the sea. IL was said thai
thew came from the water through which the
instrument passed on the way up. Fortunate
" the contriyance by which the specimens
were received, though very simple, possessed
the advantage of taking mp the sediment aud
preserving il intact. The bands of four goose
quills, open at both eXtremiles, were inserted
i'm The end of the iron rod which perces the
bottom; a small valve permitted the water to
flow through them as they went down, but it
closed rs they came up. These quilts ere
found 20 be packed with tenacious sediment IL
appareutlv the same condition in which it was
when forced into them. One was taken, WHIP
ed perfectly dry, cut open, and the middle
norton, Plastic aud adhesive AS clay for the
potter, was taken out and eXamined-the infu-
soria presented tie same appearance Of vitality.
In order that microscopsts OF eminence may
have reliable grounds upon which TO base their
opinions, as 10 the living condition of these
ipfusoria at the time of their capture the Quill
bands were corked at each end, and at the
suggestion of naturalist, put IN vials of al
cuhOl, and very soon everything relating to
the matter will lee forwarded 10 the United
States, and the originator of this great system
of oceanic sounding viii have new link,
with which to strengthen the great chain OF
facts, which have, by his power of generaliza-
ton, been rendered subservient To commerce
and 10 science. Specimens from goo fathoms
have also been obtained, but, at that time, the
continuance of the goose quilts lad not been
applied.

No Speaker has yet been elected TO preside

BY the census Just taken the population Of
the State Of Illinois in 1855, amounted to
1,2jf075. Five wears ago &c amounted to on
" 81, 40, showing an increase of 4l9,JS5, or
40 per cent.
a bill has passed both Houses Of the Mis-

enue of 1856, and thereafter 100000 annu-
ally for thirteen years. Ia be used for the pro-
lection of the State credit, for the absorption

hands of AbolitiOnists or negro thieves. If
such be the case, ard the boat can be denti-

I The Democratic Association of Maury
county has appointed two persons in each
'civil district of that county, "to ascertain
the wishes of the Democracy in regard to
their candidates for county officers" The
Herald (ColunpBia) publishes an editorial
commendatory of this movement. 1t calls
upon every Democrat to yield his lndIyld-
ual preferences for the good OF the party"
! 1t is assured that this is the only way of
success against the American candidates.
The method pursued by the American par
/. ty in making its nominations has frequently
been condemned by the Democratic papers.
They have regarded it as unfair, and de-
prying the people of an inestimable privi-
lege. They do not believe in the American
organization Oh, no In Maury county
is established Democratic Association"
Its officers are president, vice presidents,
secretary, treasurer, and an executive COM
.niCtee. 1t is in the power Of the executive
committee to call meeting at any time !;
when such meetings are called, they are for
the Democracy to assemble. When the
time approaches for the nominations for
officers. men arc appointed in each civil dis
trict "to ascertain the wishes Of the De
mocracg in regard to their candidates. =
Did You ever see a more complete Organi-
cation? They have adopted the plan Of
the American party exactly. Stole our
thunder" by Jupiter We suppose this
county Democratic Association" is a
branch of the great Association at
Nashville.
B6E- The American members OF the Viz
ginia Legislature held a meeting on the
18th inst, and adopted resolutions endors-
ing the course of the National members of
the American Party in the House of Rep
resentatives of the United States, in the
stand they have taken in voting for Speak
er, and declaring that any modification OF
the twelfth section Of the National Plat
form would be a gross fraud upon Southern
men who have joined the American Party.
The declaration of the Democratic Con
gressionaI caucus that they would consent
to no union with the American Party is
declared to be arrogant, and tending to
prolong the slavery agitation, if not to
throw power into the hands Of the 'black
republicans"
