upon the stars and stripes of the nation; and
give all to understand that he was always pre-
pared, whenever called upon, to sacrifice him.
self upon the altar of his country.
Mr. Fuller, of Pennsylvania, the candidate
upon whom the American strength of the House
is principally concentrated, was very explicit
in his replies to the interrogatories with which
he was catechised. He was opposed to the
restoration of the Missouri restriction, and de-
clared that such measure would neither be
promotiye of the formation of slave nor free
States. His position upon the subject of slave
ry in the territories, was substantially taken by
Mr.. Richardson, save that Legislature of terri
tories have Alright, derived direct from Congress
to protect property in slaves within such terri
tories until the people shall have decided the
question themselves. He, of course, approved
the fugatige slave Law, and in reply to an in
terrosatory propounded by Mr.. Barksdale, Of
Mississippi, be declared that, although he did
not wish to prescribe foreigners, yet, like the
Father of his Country, he always preferred ma
tive born Americans to them, in matters per-
tanning to the administration of the affairs of the
country. Mr.. Kennett, of Missouri, proposed
attaching to the interrogatories of Mr.. Barks-
dale the question as to whetherthe candidates
of the Speakership believed in future state, and
ifso, whether it would be free or slave State.
Mr. Barksdale was, however, inclined to re-
ceive the amendment as an insult, and render
ed himself quite ridiculous by the bullying
manner in which he approached Mr.. Kennett,
who was prompt in declaring that the gentle
man from Mississippi could not intimidate him
there or elsewhere.
After the candidates, however, of the respec-
tive parties in the House had defined their
positions, another ballot was taken for Speaker,
but resulted about the same as the last ballot.
Instead of facilitating an organization Of the
House, think the definitions which the res
.peetive candidates have just given of their po-
sitions viii render still more the improbable
y ty of such result. Each party is now confr-
med in the soundness of the views of their
candidates, as well as the incorrectness of those
of their opponents, and consequently is very
naturally the more determined to persist in the
struggle Indeed, it is very difficult now to pre-
dict with accuracy at all when the House will
organize. 1t may be in day, but most likely
will not be for weeks, unless new candidates
take the place of those who are now in the
field.
The President of the United States gavethe
first levee of the season at the White House
last night. TIE great East room was crowded
to overaowing, and the display of wealth and
refinement was unusually grand. The Presi-
dent and his lady were present during the even
ing, and we're apparently in fine spirits l
took position behind one of the principal
doors, from which l looked out upon the as
semblage with not little interest and satisfac'
ton.

decent appearance, audpromises to live longer than

has notified his government that military
success be attained on the present basis of ope-
rations in the crimea. The Grand Council will be
charged with the duty of deciding on new plan for
the Spring campaigns, for the prosecution of which,
both in England and France the most extensive pre-
parations are in progress.
The news from the Crimea Is unimportant. The
Russians had made an appearance on the heights
Ourkousta, and showed some manifestations of nm
intentionto attack the French positions in the Bal
lar Valley, with the view Of restricting the ground
covered by the allied outposts which now affords fu-
el to the army and food for the cattle. As the
French have retired in presence Of winter the Rus
sians have thrown forward their advanced posts ut
Keoluz and Markul, to the northeast, and from. Al
todar and Ozembash to the north of Baidnr. The
Russians continued to fire steadily from the north
side of Sebastopol, but English correspondence says
little damage is done. The allies have ceased to re-
turn the fire. Gortschakof announces that on tho
10th of December q detachment Of Cossacks defeat
cd strong squadron of General Gyan's cavalry
near Kertch and thnts thc English commander was
taken prisoner. The latest accounts from the Cri-
