GOALS TO NEWCASTLE.

1t is hard to tell upon what principle the selec
ten is made orators for public occasions. Take
the recent case, for instance, of the discourse de
liyered before the NewEDgland Society of this
city by o. w. Holmes N. D., OF Boston. DR.
Holmes is known at home as respectable lee
turer on anatomy, but that could hardly have
been the reason why he was selected as the orator
of the New-EDslard Society; for even had dis
settatcn upon dry bones been thought most suit
able to the occasion, it would hardly have been
necessary to go to provincial medical school for

THURSDAYS TALK-THE THIRD HOUSE.
Ed,,onsi Correspondence Of The N. T. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Thursday, Dec. 20, 1855.
I shall not attempt to sketch to-day's debate at
any length; it wouldn't pay. The debaters were
mainly secord or third rate the speeches long and
windy; the usual subject, the fearful peril of
"sectionsl' organization, with appeals BY Demo
Gratis to Southern Americans, and rice rsrsa, to
come over to them and save the Union. Mr.. Nc
MULLEN of Virginia did indeed warn the House
that if the Fugitive Slave Law were repealed
or the Missouri Restriction restored the South would
dissolve the Union whereat the House Uttered. Mac
didn't seem to see the point ofthe JOKE and repeated
his threat in (f possible) still louder voice, with
q more tragic air; and now the House roared out
right The gentleman whose tarn it is to sit up
with the Union lad probably stepped out to re-
fresh himself.
Noise-noife noise-wish pump handle
gestures and high-aown metaphors--in short, all
that comes under the general appellatioh OF
cavOrting"-how they weary the life out oil us
al 1t is very well to sit by your coy hre Oh q
morning or evening and read in ten minutes the
gist of all that was said or done in Congress the
day before; but to stand outside OF the bar for
four mortal houYs, with head aching from noise,
and legs from long experience of the perpendicu-
lar, and list an 10 the sbominable reverberations

TIE STRUGGLE AT WASHINGTON.

To-day" says En- erson, sis king in disguise"
The men who make History seldom realize the full
importance Of their position and their deeds. Great
and glorious eyents-the wsymsrks ofhu man prog
ress-have often seemed fortuitous or casual to
the unthiDkiDg whsn they in truth the results
of inevitable law-the rich harvest of fields so wn
in uDnOttd patience and SORROW.
The Free People of these States who desire
that Slavery shall be excluded from the Federal
Territories bave not failed to mark the steadfast
bearing and ndonitable spirit of the great body Of
their Representatives in the House The thought
less may consider this an easy matter not so those
familiar with legislative bodies. There are scores
of Members this day in their seats st Washington
who would gladly give hundreds of dollars for the
privilege of being absent who vent thither ex'
pectiDg to organize forthwith and be at Gbsrty to
90 of for few days and attend to their pressing
business-but who will lever leave nor vote for al
adjournment till Speaker is chosen though the
consequence to them be pecuniary ruin. The
great majority Of the supporters of Mr.. Banks have
never yet voted to adjourn, and never failed to
resist motion for adjournment when there WAS
the least hope of success in 50 doing, The speak
irg has nearly all been the work of those op
posed 10 Mr.. Banks; the a5journments from
day TO day have nearly all been carried
by the opponents of Banks uniting to defeat or
at least postpone an organization though they
dare not unite to effect one. 1t was by union Of
snti.Barks men of all hues that the House on
Saturday laid on the table Ql4 TO 100 q resolve
to elect by plurality vote, as was done six years ago.
and refused by two majority to meet at 10 o'clock
instead Of neon until the House should be duly
organized 1t was fom the opposition to Mr
Banks that the extraordinary proposal was made
On Saturday, that all further attempts to elecS
Speaker be postponed till the Sd of January
twelve days), leaving the public business un-
touched and the Presidents Message undeliyered.
in short, no effort has been spared, no means
untried no sacrifice grudged, by the great ,dy
Of the Members supporting Mr.. Banks, to effect
an organization Of the House; and if sitting 10
their seats and voting for the next thirty hours
would insure that end, they would joyfu!ly do it.
But the factions that can agree on nothing else
can agree to postpone, to defeat, to adjourn, and
so three weeks have been wasted
Bat let the advocstes of Free Territory and
Free Labor be assured that, though the struggle
may be still further protracted, il can have but
enc result. The two Pro.Slavery parties cannot
unite, and would DO beaten If they attempted il.
The Fuller votes cannot oil be carried over to

A CONVENTION FoR-LOsr BAGGAGE.

CONVENTION FOR-LOSr BAGGAGE.
The word convention in its technical sense is
not Erelish but American. Convention is in this
country a verbal necessity, as much as smoke-pipe,
stump speaker Buncombe, loafer, hard-shell, soft
sbell, and sofortb. 1t watts the aroma Of the
democratic flower. convention-(O, that We
had lspeusge whose PARTICLES carried meaning
to the common ear D-from con, with renio,
coincidence coming with, or coming together
conveys the idea OF free-wil, Of spontaneity, of
mass gathering. Without legal enactment, with
out caste impetus, without royal will, without the
solidarites of antiquity, but with fungus celebrity
of growth and fossillike strength of fiber, these
conventions are formed, to represent tear to find
ers build to systems, con, caviEat and correct
nearly every conceivable interest germane to this
contren mt al d century. Paradise is scaled BY new
milenDial ladders evil is extinguished by new
psy Geological machinery philanthropy is divided
off in all the departments due to the rage for spe
cialities science ia riven sSeated, and smoked In
multitudinous alembics; the UniOn is saved,
blasted, welded, new seated, new buttOned; tables
are turned, ard practice grouodaud'lOfty tumb-
ling, and unseen hands write internal bOres of
beoks;-snd all through the medium Of COnven-
tiors. 1t is become question now, not what can,
but what cannot be settled by Conventions. To
be sure there sits the cid stern truth, that Con-
yenton could not inspire Hamlet or draw down
lightning bite-wise from the armament; but for
the purposes of man in his composite capacity,
commend us to Conventions. In them We get the
shaggy West, the shaveu East, the juste-miieu
North and the cbivalric e,s the tobacco che wing
South, all together in humping, palpitating visual,
oral, contest.tion about the heavens, the earth
and the waters beneath the earth. If man and
beast this globe and it's atmosphere, and the star
crowded skies, do not experience blatant aaaysis'
il is not for the want of Conventions Aud now the
latest novelty in this way is Convention Of Rail
load Agents, who met last week in this city to
fi1d owners for the SUM- tots. OF the lost baggage
in their keeping during the current year through
