THE NATIONAL ERA: WASHINGTON, D. c. FEBRUARY T. 1856

fectual efforts TO elect Speaker in which the
votes have been divided among MIR. Banks, Mr..
Richardson, and Mr.. Fuller, must have made 1t
manifest to those gentlemen and this Congress
that neither of them is the choice of a majority
of the members of this House for its presiding
officer, and that a longer persistence ON the
part of their respective friends in urging their
names for this office will only delay the organl-
cation of this House, and thereby prevent i'm
mediate legislation, when the common interests
of the whole country require it: Therefore,
"ResOtUed, That it is the sense Of this House
that Messrs. Banks, Richardson, and Fuller,
by withdrawing their names and forbiddlng
their use as candidates for the Speakership
after this day, would remove certain and in
surmountable obstacles to its organization, and
that the public interest would be greatly pro-
NOTED by their doing So"
The comment of Mr.. Greeley was this:
81 have had some acquaintance with human
degradaton yet it did seem to me to-day that
Rust's resolution in the House was a more dis
creditable proposition than | had ever known
gravely submitted to legislative body"
Had the two men been even nearly matched
in thew and muscle, we could not have blamed
Mr.. Rust for feeling resentment at the imputa-
ton of pre- eminent degradation but, as he
is one of the most powerful men in Congress,
physically, and Mr.. Greeley, however willing,
utterly unable to defend himself against such
an assailant, the attack was wanton and cruel.
Mr.. Greeley, we perceive, disdains to resort to
law, and prefers to rely upon the more poten-
tial weapon, the pen.

THE ELECTION OF SPEAKER. &C.. &C.

After struggle of nine weeks, Mr.. Banks
was elected, Saturday evening, Speaker of the
House Of Representatives. We rejoice at the
result first, because we have been sincerely anx-
lous Tor an organization of the House; second
ly, because among all the candidates, with any
prospect of success, Mr.. Banks was best fitted
to discharge the duties of presiding officer
came nearer to what we consider the right
standard than any other, and, for the time
stood as the Representative of the single Issue
Freedom TO Kansas and Nebraska.
The result, too, shows that the Slayeboldinp
Oligarchy is not invincble, but that the non
slaveholding elements, even when united tenn
porarity and by single tie, can prevail. by
unity and 6rmness.
Beyond his, ace can, as yet, find no reason
tor emulation. Will the victory be barren
one? Will the members who supported Mr..
Banks be able to harmonic their differences Of
opinion, and agree upon clear, well-de6ned,
wise method of policy? VIII he and thew com.
pletely subordinate all questions, to the para.
mount one growing out Of Slavery and its usurp
atoms? There are questions not decided by the
election Of Mr.. Banks, but tchich remain to be
decided.
Thus far, the course Of the House since Sat
urday, cannot be explained on the theory that
there is Republican Party, or even an Anti
Nebraska majority therein. Mr. Cullom, elect
ed Clerk, by combination of the votes of the
Banks men and National Know Nothings, is a
Southern American" The only supporters
OF Mr.. Banks who voted against him, were,
Messrs. Billinghurst, Bliss, Brenton, Day, Hol
loway Letter, Mott, Nichols, Spinner, and Wat.

Monday, on the adjournment of the House,

ELECTION OF PRINTER IN THE SENATE

Mr. Nicholson, Of the Union, has been elect
troduced and voted for, by whom we know not.
For Heavens sake, gentlemen, never name
US as an applicant for any patronage, to be
bestowed by Congress or the Executive. We
do not need it We do not want it; could not
get it if We did f; would not have it if We could.
There is no possible relation that the Era
could sustain to Congress which could make it
desirable, beneficial, or tolerable, for either to
be patronized by the other. An attitude of
absolute independence we regard as beyond all

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1856.
MR.. CONwAY's SERMON.

Mr.. Conway, the pastor of the Unitarian
Church IN Washington, whose sermon appears
on our first page, is a nephew of Judge Daniels,
Of the Supreme Court; Virginian, belonging
to family of extreme Pro-Slavery views. A
young man OF twenty-six, he is distinguished
by his boldness, his independence, his original
ity, and general reading. The sermon, deliver
ed in one of the most conservative churches in
Washington, is, under the circumstances, an
extraordinary one, and will be read everywhere
with profound interest. The note at the bot
tom of the column in which it is printed, should
have been credited, Ed. Era. We hope editors
reprinting it, will omit the note, as it might
lead TO misconception.
