SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Latstffgenesr rejoices over the termin.
alton Of the contest for the Speakership, and
summing up the result, says
By an analysis Of the votesi it appears that
Mr.. Banks received the whole Republican
strength, except four, and that Mr.. Aiken re-
ceived the support Of all the Democrats,
except two, and of all the National Ameri-
cans except six. The latter eight had it in
their power to elect Mr.. Aiken, even if the
four dissentient Republicans had sustained
Mr.. Banks But the result is acquiesced in
by all parties as a proper relief from the state
of anarchy in which the House had been Ia
boring for nine weeks"
The Union thus comments on the termina-
tiOn of the contest for the Speakership
GAS we have remarked, the contest was f.
nally terminated under the operation of the
plurality rule. The votes taken during sew
eral days past had indicated that Speaker
could only be chosen by resorting to that rule.
There was strong repugnance amongst the
national members to its adoption, more espe-
cially after the revolving declaration of Mr.
Banks as TO the test of superiority in the races.
The southern know-nOthings manifested de-
Termination against casting their votes for the
democratic nominees not less persistent than
their refusal to vote for Mr. Banks On Friday,
however, propositions were made by demo
Gratis to which the southern know-nothings in
Dictated a disposition to acoede-the one pro-
posing Mr.. Oliver, an old line whig, and the
other Mr.. Aiken, a national democrat, for
Speaker. Ths votes on these propositions,
compared with that given on the same day on
a resolution declaring Mr.. Banks the Speaker,
showed so little difference that it was exceed
ingly doubtful what would be the result upon
the adoption of the plurality rule"
cat this point Mr. Smith, Of Tennessee, be-
lieving that the chances of Mr.. Aiken were at
least quaI to those of Mr.. Banks, brought for
ward a resolution for the plurality rule. Mr..
Orr Immediately withdrew Internationally his
name as the Democratic nominee, and the
resolution was adopted. The result was, as
We have stated, the election of Mr. Banks by
a plurality of three votes-Mr Banks receiv-
ing lO3 votes, and Mr.. Aiken 100-six National
Americans throwing their votes on Mr.. Fuller,
and four Republicans throwing theirs on Mr..
l.. D. Campbell. 1t ia apparent that per-
feet union Of the national members, (the four
Republicans voting for Mr.. Campbell,) would
have elected Mr.. Aiken by plurality Of three
Thus has ended the most extraordinary strug-
gle that has ever occurred"

For Mr.. Wslls.-Mr. Hickman.
Mr.. Benson, one of the tellers, announced
that Nathaniel P. Banks, jr., of Massac husetts,
was duly elected Speaker
Mr.. A. K. Marshall raised the question that
the House itself must declare the result, and
that the Clerk could neither do so himself nor
delegate any one to do so. He should be
very sorry to see the Clerk depart from that
course which had hitherto secured him so many
friends.
After some debate on this point, in which
Messrs. Rust, Clingnan, Cobb of Ga, Smith
of Ala, Paine, II. Marshall, Campbell of
Ohio, Herbert and Stewart participated, and
during which Mr.. Aiken asked permission of
the House to conduct the gentleman from
Massachusetts,, (Mr. BanksJ to the chair, as
the duly elected Speaker of the House
Mr.. Clingman offered the following resolu.
ton
RsselUed, That, by reason of the adoption
of the proposition known as the plurality res
olutiOn, and the votes taken under it, the
Hon. N. p Banks, jr., of Massachusetts, has
been duly chosen Speaker; and is hereby SO
declared.
After some debate, the previous question
was called on the resolution, and the vote
being taken, the resolution was adopted
yeas 156, nays 40
The Clerk appointed Messrs II. NJ. Fuller.
Aiken, and L. D. Campbell to conduct MI
Banks to the chair.
Mr.: Banks, on taking the chair, acknowl-
edged the honor done him in a brief and neat
speech
The usual oath of office was then admins.
tered to him by Mr.. Giddings
On motion of Mr.. Stanton, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved That the thanks of this House
are eminently due, and are hereby rendered.
to John w. Forney, Esq, for the distinguished
ability, fidelity, and impartiality with which
he has presided over the deliberation of the
House of Representatives during the arduous
and protracted contest for Speaker which has
just closed.
The House then adjourned

This business was In progress when We went

In the House, after the reading of the Jour
nal of the proceedings of Saturday, the cere.
mony Of swearing in the members by State:
was performed by the Speaker. When the
Territory of Kansas was called, and tho Clerk

Mr.. Grow gave notice that he should not
object to the administration of the usual oath
to that gentleman, but would take occasion at
the proper time, to show that he (Mr. Whit.
