What Does il Mean

We extract the following paragraph from
the Presidents Message:
The peculiar relations of the General Gov.
eminent to the District of Columbia renders il
proper to commend to your care not only its ma.
terial but also its moral interests, including educa
ton, especially in those parts of the District
outside of the cities of Washington and George
town.
The President invites the attention of Con-
gress to the "moral interests" Of the District of
Columbia, including education, more espec-
ally in those parts of the District outside of
the cities of Washington and Georgetown" II
will be remembered that Congress some years
ago passed law exempting the Catholic insti-
tuition in Georgetown from taxation, thus vir-
tually removing them from the jurisdiction OF
the corporate authorities Of that city Does
the President allude to these institutions! And
is this recommendation in accordance with the
wishes of tJohnp

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.


SATURDAY, January 10, 1856.
Mr.. CLINGMAN submitted resolution that un-
til the election of Speaker, debate personal
explanations shall be in,order, after the calling of
the roll shall be commenced.
Mr.. c. supported his resolution in brief and
forcible speech.
Mr. READY opposed the resolution, on the
ground that it would be imperative inasmuch as
It would often be suspended, if adopted, as the ten
minutes rule was every day.
Mr. HOUSTON thought the ten minutes rule
was sufficient of itself if rigidly adhered to. He
moved to amend by adding to Mr.. CLIsGMAN's res
olution the words sand that the ten minutes rule
shall not be suspended except by unanimous con-
sent"
The resolution as amended was then adopted
without division
A ballot was then taken for Speaker with the
following results
Banks, %; Richardson, So; Fuller, 81; Pen
nington, 8; Campbell, 3, Potter, Faulkner, l.
Whole number, 202; necessary to a choice,
100. No choice
Z Mr.. QUITMAN replied to the speech of Mr.
JONES delivered yesterday. He contended for the
equal rights of the people Of the States under the
Constitution, and asserted that the South had
never attempted to interfere with the rights of the
Northern people.
Mr.. JONES replied, and charged the growth Of
Aboltionsm upon ipjudicious Legislation in the
House of Representatives.

The Old Veterans.

A convention of the old soldiers of the war
OF 1912 met in annual convention at ST. Louis
on the 9Th of January, electing General Ma
than Ranney, President; John Shade, John
Jones, and j. B. McKowen, Vice Presidents
and A. I. Grow, Secretary.
They then adopted sundry resolutions
amongst which are the following:
RcsoIved, That the soldiers of the last war with
the Union as now existing, and they are ready, at
moments warning, to strike off the sacrilegious
hand that may be raised against either
Resolved, That by the grace of God, by the
memory of Washington, and the fame of jackson,
the old soldiers will sustain the rights of these
States, and oppose the enemies thereof until their
voice and energy be hashed and paIalyzed by the
last enemy; and to this end, they will meet annu-
ally on the day so honorable to American arms
the 9Th of January.
Resolved That the United States, now at the
summit Of power and wealth, owes much to the
men who fought her battles in the last war with
Great Britain, and every one of them now living,
should of right receive pension during the re-
mander Of life. -
We respond "amen" to the above resolu-
tons, and if we had the power, we would add
as further resolve that all such patriots who
make such pledges as are contained in the two
first resolutions should live and enjoy the
right set forth in the closing portion of the last
resolve, for the next three thousand years, re-
Movable forever!

ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 9. 1856.


DEAR SIR: How does FILLMoRE stand at the
North with the American party? At the South
and West he is decidedly the best man. There is
almost a universal wish that he may be the stand
ard-bearer Of the stars and stripes for the Union
in the contest of this year. We can assuredly
succeed with him, and d good Southern Democrat
for the Vice President If the North win do half
its duty, the South will place the capstone of vic
tory on the monument of the Union. General
Ranney, of our State, has beer named in several
papers for the second Office with Fillmore; but
Missouri is safe enough for the American party,
without taking up one so far West.
Let us get a good Union Democrat from Vir-
ginia, Tennessee, or Louisiana.
Let the American party start out for the one
term, and stick to it. General Pierce's friends
pledged him to this principle at the last Presiden
tal election but now they and himself ignore the
pledge. Truly yours, UNION,
v. ELLIS, Editor.

most magnificent and elaborate works ever issued
from the American press.
The paintings and drawings, from sketches by
DR.. Kane, are being prepared by the distinguished
artist, James Hamilton, ESQ.,, who has devoted sew
eral years to the study Of Arctic subjects in con-
nexion with DR.. Kane. There will be twenty fine
steel lne-engravings, including portraits of DR..
Kane and Mr.. Grinnell, executed under the super
intendence of j. NJ. Butler, ESQ.,, who stands IN
rivalled in this department. The wood-cuts viii
be engraved in the highest style of the art by
Messrs. Van Ingen a Snyder, making in all up
wards Of three hundred Illustrations We would
further state that IL win be issued in two hand
some octave volumes, as early as practicable the
ensuing year, at the low price Of 80 for the entire
work.
