The ep~shersh'p-v mo Election Of Mr.. Banhs,
of 'Aassac husetts.


Tire last day If the ninth week brought the
House Of Re presentatives to an orglniz ,sion.
Mr.. Banks, a black republican, WIS elected
Speaker IN Saturday last, ny tnr4e majority
over Mr. Aiken, OF South Carp who receiy-
ed sae great body OF the democratic and M.
tiunal Know Nothing votes
The organization OF the House has served TO
develope some extraordinary features OF Aue-
rican politics. 1t has put the several parties
into which the country is divided to severe
test. Indeed, mere party machinery has been
literally wern out in the struggle. New ele-
ments have been developed, new interests have
arisen, and new objects have been sought All
past associations have been broken up; and in
reforming them upon basis SO utterly dit
ferent from anything heretofore known, de-
| lay of more than two months has occurred in
the organization of the House. That this de-
| lay is not altogether without its benefits, we
| trust the future will show. 1t is q lesson of the
highest import to the whole country, evincing
the extreme folly of sectional organization
| of parties, the election of q sectional Speaker
"a Speaker taken from party which yields
| superior fealty to it's creeds and rituals over
| the constitution of the United States.
To Mr.. Banks personally we have no oojec-
tons to urge. He is qualified alike by abilities
and by experience to preside over the House.
| As man he is entitled to respect; as politi-
| clan we neither like his views nor his assoca-
tiona On the subject of slavery he is fana-
tic; as politician he is sectional; as states

Ties Of the slaves Of the South, and po,keting

Net solitary Northern American voted for
Mr. Aiken. Messrs Brown of Pennsylvania
Clark ii New York, Cullen of Delaware, Davis
OF Maryland, Millwafd of Pennsylvania, and
Whitney of New York, voted COR Me- Faller,
which was, il fact, voting indirectly for Me-.
Banks The latter gentleman took the trou-
bic a day o. two ago to change his vote for
Mr Aiken; bat when the test came he was
again ready for another change. Mr.. Whitney
is the representative of New York constitu-
ency-of this city-where there are not six thou
sand black republicans in all! Mr.. Haven was
absent lie r. Mr.. Fillmores representative,
and has stood the test of nine weeks idle voting
only to show that at the hour of need he was
ready to aid the abolihonists.
Three obvious points have been gained in this
result: The abolitionisss have succeeded in
organizing . sectional party; the Know No
things have as clearly proven that they too are
sectional ; and the administration have exhi-
bi ted it's utter weakness to carry any point
or any measure, or obtain any influence in
this Congress- Eighteen Northern demo
Gratis and twenty-seven Southern Know No
things supported Aiken. By this exhibit it
will be seen that the only party having no
tional phase at all is the democratic party.
It's weakness in the North comes from the cleo
tions of 1854 could it have had the benefit OF
the reversal Of the popular judgment of 1855,
it is manifest that it must have signally tri-
umphed.
This result, then, however much it may be
deprecated, cannot fail to impress on the coun-
try most valuable lesson. 1t has shown that
there is safety only in an adherence to the con-
stitution, End that the issues growing out OF
the organization of sectional parties are supe.
rior to all mere questions of legislative reform.
1t is quite impossible, in such condition Of
things, to make national organization that
does not look to the integrity Of the govern
ment as it's first and great object.
The election of Mr.. Banks is the first lesson.
We trust now there will be no time lost in
bringing the House to test vote on the ques-
ton of restoring the Missouri Compromise.

corner stone and foundation of it's party-that

THE WAR IN THE OLD DOMNloN-PENysyN.-
vANIA ALL RrGHT.-We published few days
since report of an important debate in the
Virginia House of Delegates, growing out of
the arrest of a man of the name of Parsons,
in Pennsylvania. Parsons, it appears, at
tempted, short time since, in Blair county,
Pennsylvania, to arrest fugitive slave. The
negro escaped, but through some inform Atty
in the proceedings of PARSONS, he was indicted
by the Grand Inquest Mf Kidnapping and as
sault, and his trial set down for the next term
Of the Court of Quarter Sessions for the Peace.
The whole matter was brought before the Vir-
ginia House of Delegates, and a bill was passed
providing that all Parsons expenses, fines,
costs, &C., should be met by Virginia; that the
executive should then demand restitution from
Pennsylvania-if the last named State refused
to pay, Virginia to take strong hostile action.
This bill was passed in the House, but the
Senate modified it by amendments, making it
simply to pay Parsons expenses, and indemni-
fy his sureties if his bail was forfeited. There
was long and acrimonious debate in the
House on the Senate amendments. Our re-
pOItcA ccuuc ~ LA lullj Uut we Cduuos dtlOIu
the space for it in the present aspect of the
matter. The House refused-l0l to l2-to
agree with the Senate amendments and also
tabled o motion for Committee of Confer
ence. In the meantime Mr.. Parsons has been
tried at Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, on the
indictment above named, and his trial was
brought to close on Thursday last by the
triumphant discharge of the accused. Public
opinion seems to have been almost entirely in
his favor, for we are informed that the Judge,
the bar, and large crowd of attentive spec
tators testified their concurrence in the result
in the most marked manner.
This result happily settles the whole affair,
which lately had rather an ugly appearance.
We presume that the old Virginia blood will
be cooled down, and that there is no danger of
border war just at present. That bill will
probably slumber quietly along with the act
to organize Virginia regiment for service in
Kansas. While we think that the House was
rather rash, we cannot but admire the pluck Of
its members and their gallant stand in defence
of the rights Of one of their citizens. The
Pennsylvanians also deserve credit, and both
parties will think better of each other after
this little breeze.
