Mr.. THORINGTON said his reason for offering the
resolution was to contribute his mite toward or

Mr.. GIDDINGS said the resolution was thrown into

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Jan. 10, 1856.
A stormy, personal, irregular debate took place
in the House to-day, melted by Mr.. Thorington of
Iowa, who, unadvisedly, offered resolve that
Mr. l.. D. Campbell Of Ohio be the Speaker. This
was voted down by $50 to so; but 1t gave an op-
portunity for Mr. Dunn to display his intense ma
ligty to the utmost He gave the Anti-Nebraska
Members public notice that he would never vote
for Mr Banks, but would vote for anybody else.
He was triumphantly answered by Mr.. Sherman of
Ohio. Some cloyen feet beside Dunn's were ex-
posed during the debate. A ballot was then had,
Banks lacking TO- and the House adjourned.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The Anti-Nebraska Members met in caucus to-
night. Mr.. Banks spoke briefly, relieving his
friends from all obligation to support him, and
asking them to do what was best; he pledged him.
self to support heartily any candidate who might
be nominated Mr.. Campbell proposed to have no
candidate for the next two days, but that each
man vote as he might choose. 1t was agreed on
all hands that the past should go for nothing, and
each one vote now as if Congress was just assem-
bling 1t was strongly urged that new candidate
might be elected at once. A resolution passed
to offer the plurality rule every morning
After full discussion the caucus took ballot
for Speaker. Mr. Banks received sixty-six votes;
Campbell twelve; Pennington five; scattering six.

New-York daily tribune., 1856-01-17

The contest for the Speakership at Albany was
concluded yesterday by the election OF ORvILLE
ROBINSON Of OswegO, who was carried into the
chair by Republican votes. Mr.. Robinson was a
supporter of Van Buren, in 1848, and has uniformly
acted with tho Soft party on all questions except
Canal Enlargement, in respect OF which he has
gone with the Wings. He was returned to the
Assembly last Fall by means of q great number Of
Republican votes, cast for him on personal rather
than political grounds. For the post to which he
has now been elevated he has every qualification
both of ability and fairness, and we doubt not will
administer the Office to the general satisfaction
What Mr.. RobinsOn's present position is politi-
cally, and how he is affected toward the recent
abandonment by the Custom House managers of
his party Of the only distinctive principles TO which
that party has professed allegiance, we are not
well informed. 1t il said that he will acquiesce in
that abandonment, and adhere to that party on the
the new slave-tradiDg platform adopted at SYRIA
ctlse; but that is a point On which we wait for
more authoritative intelligence before we can fully
admit it. But however that may be, we hold that
the Republican members of the Assembly were
perfectly right in casting their votes for him. AS
Mr. Prendergast, the Republican candidate for the
Speakershp, well said, in declining to be any
longer voted for, the choice was between two evils,
and to take the lesser was duty. However much
Mr.. Robinson might be a supporter and friend OF
Slavery Extension, he could not possibly be more
truly 30 than the Know-Nothisg party of this
State; WHILE at any rate, if he is pnch, he is the
man to act openly and abOve-board, and cannot Be
charged with adding hypocrisy and false pretenses
to the crime of treachery to Freedom. Moreover
he ia not guilty Of the proscrptive doctrines and
the base secret methods which the Know-Ns-
things are seeking to introduce into cur politics.
Altogether, then, since the Republican candidate
could not possibly be elected under the plurality
sule, the only proper course was to insure the
election of Mr.. Robinson as against his Hindoo
competitor.
