The nomination of Mr.. Donelson was now
made unanimous, amid great cheering.
Mr.. Donelson came forward and said he
had not much to say to express his gratitude
He had not sought the nomination, and he
would not decline it. He was determined to
do, if elected, all he could to advance the
American cause. They had known him
chiefly through his connection with Andrew
jackson, and they all remember that An
drew Jackson said Americans should be
more American. Mr.. Donelson said he was
at home in the South. He was the owner Of
more than one hundred slaves. He loved
the South, and he could say that the South
asked no more than they were willing to give
to the North, the East, and the West. He
had left the Democratic party. A voice
cit left you," and laughter.] Yes, Mr.. Don
elson said, it left him. He saw that it was
the intention of the Administration to con-
solidate the North as a North, and the
South as q South, and he could not go
with it. He would accept the post to which
they had appointed him, and hoped that he
would do nothing to deceive them.
Mr.. Williams, of Pennsylvania, asked
where Gen. jackson would have been found
if he had been alive. Mr.. Donelson said,
Gen. Jackson never had other than an Amer
lean thought, and that jackson and Webster
and Clay would all have been found in the
American ranks. In conclusion, he would
say that all the talent and energy he had
would be devoted to the interests of his
country.

FRIDAY, MARCH IA, 1856.
Close Of the Course Of Lectures Before the
Historical Society. tT-er


The Committee appointed early in Decem
Der last to provide for course of public lee
lures during the winter, to be delivered un-
der the auspices of the Minnesota Historical
Society, have deemed it proper and expedi-
cnt to close the course with the lecture of
Col. Irwin, delivered last Friday evening.
We fNve been requested on behalf of the
committee, and as one of its members, to
state in this public manner that we feel UNI
der deep obligations to the gentlemen who
have, during the several weeks of our winter
season, consented to amuse and instruct the
large audiences that were attendant upon
this pioneer course of lectures. Public in
terest has been lively awakened; and it is no
compliment to largely the greatest number
of both speakers and auditors to say, that
the lecturer has rarely failed to acquit him
self not only in manner satisfactory to his
hearers, but to elevate that high taste for in
tellectual, scientific and historical research
which it was the original design of the Soci-
ETY. to inculcate.
This first course of Lectures was merely
an experiment. The Society wished to learn
whether the enlightened public of st. Paul,
and the intelligence of other portions of the
Territory, whose business calls its represent
atives to the Capital during the winter sea-
son would encourage an intellectual enter
prize of the kind. 1t has fully succeeded;
and during the season of business which must
now occupy the attention of our people for
the ensuing eight months, men of talent and
literary taste among us will be preparing for
the course of next winter. 1t is also regar-
ded as almost a certainty that the Society
will be prepared to announce some distiE-
guished lecturers from abroad for the next
course.

SINGULAR REcUscIrArATIoN IN ROCKFORD.
The Register gives the particulars of a
singular case Of recuscitation after supposed
death in that city:
A child had, to all appearance, died, and
was laid out in it's little winding sheet upon
a board in an upper room, while the other
preparations were going forward for the flu
neral. The sexton was notified and the
grave also dug. Some time after, the father
went into the room where the child was, and
was astonished at its calling him by name,
and complaining that it did not lie good. Of
course the little sufferer was supplied with a
better bed at once. 1t had evidently fallen
into trance, from which it was awakened
by hard be and cold air.
Mr.. BANKs.-It is a common remark at
Washington that the Speakers Chair has
not had more competent occupant than Mr..
Banks since the time it was filled by Henry
Clay. The ease, dignifed impartiality, and
tact, with which he presides over the DELHI
erations of the House are justly matters of
qualification to his friends, and of surprise
to many Of his opponents whom heated con-
troversy had persuaded into the belief, that
his election would be a national calamity.
For four months it was proclaimed from
desk, and press and stump, throughout the
South, that the control of the House by
Republicans, would inaugurate scenes Of
anarchy and disorder, only to terminate in
the destruction of the Union. The dreaded
event has happened, and it turns out that
the House, which was to disorganize the
Union, is the most courteous, parliamentary
disnified and law-abiding body, that has
gathered under the vaulted ceiling of the
Representative Chamber, for five and twenty
years.

Earl of Clarendon, in the House of Lords. on
Monday, evening, said, in reply to question
of the Earl OF Egn, that the letter signed n.
Hammond was genuine document. 1t arose
from the following circumstances The agent
ofthe Costa Ricans in the country, and some
agents in the South American States, had.
ever since the attack of Walker and the gov
eminent of Nicaragua, appealedto the govern
ment OF this country, to assist them in defend
ing themselves. A great variety of projects
had been laid before Her Maiepty's govern
ment, for the acceptance OF protectorate by
this country, and giving them material as
sistance.
To all these requests Her Majesty's govern.
ment had invariably replied in the negative,
declaring that with these States they would
have nothing to do, meaning the States Of
Central America but at the same time this
government expressed itself extremely sorry
for the attack on Nicaragua, and the deplora-
bic events which followed, and they especially
regretted them because the property OF British
subjects had not only been endangered, but
had actually been sacrificed by Walker
Therefore Her Majesty's Government would
be very glad IT Walkers enterprises were not
carried further.
But they again md ngain said that with the
affairs OF Central America they had determin-
ed TO have nothing to do, and that all their
action would DO limited " sending just that

which would be adequate for the protection of
British interests and British property
There had been no disguise whatever with
the United States government.
Iheo object of the British government avow.

interest On the 9th of March, Mr. Marcy
said he entirely disaprroved of the existing
state of things in Nicaragua, and thought it
likely to cast shade upon the reputation of
the government of tile United States. He
observed that he knew of no better plan of
proceeding than for the United States and
British government to combine together for
the protection of the United States and Brit
