EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR,

~ NO SPEAKER 1ET.
Tt is now seven weeks since the House of Repre-
sentatives assembled, and about one hundred and
twenty trials have been made and yet no Speaker
has been c!ectcd/Our readers informed as to
the state of things at Washington, and are quite as
capable as we of forming an opinion as to the
result 1t seems to be probable, however, that the
plurality rule will bc adopted; and IN that
event n Sneaker will ut oEce be chosen The oppo-
stion to the administration in the House could adopt
that rule if disposed to do sc-or they could elect
= Speaker by a majority of the whole number of
votes. The responsibility from this continued dis
organization is, therefore, upon Msm.
No interest of a domestic nature is suffering by
this delay The masses Of the people arc, to great
extent independent of action ofthe federal govern
ment The State governments never stood out i'll
such bold relief as they do now; they are moving
forward in their accustomed paths, protecting lite
and property and caring for the welfare and phys'
cal and social happiness of the millions OF all classes
from Maine to California. BUTT is not to be denied
that the foreign interests of the country have oeen
placed by faction in the House, in condition to be
injuriously affected
There are two plans, by the adoption oil either OF
which the House might be organized Let the mem
bsrs resign and let elections be held a'd If that
be impracticab!e let the House take recess until
about the first of May. Let there be either an ap-
peal to- or a consultation with, the people.
{ We arc free to say that entertain no serious
apprehensons on account of this delay and disor.
ganization. The government oiU not be dissoteed-
faction and abolitionsm if they should obtain COM
plete control in the House, scN be checked by the
Senate as Aey hare been re6uked by the President
and the Constitution and the rights of tie States
will come forth from this fiery trial. intact, and more
firmly fixed in the hearts of the masses of all sec
tions than at any former period This is our firm
belief The government has bt en- so wisely contrved
so balanced, and its powers SO distributed-that
no combination of bad men, in any one OF its de-
partments, can destroy it. "The eohote head must
be sick and the aohole heart faint, before ruin car
overtake it. The late message of the President is
working silently, but powerfully and steadily, to-
the rights of the States, for higher and noble aspl
ratons and views in public affairs, and for the per
petuaton Of the Union according to the Constitu
ton. The House may, therefore, continue to d'sor
ganize, but the patriot will still hope.

WASHINGTON, January 90, 1856.
HoUsE-Mr. Richardson said that he was sincere
ly desrous for organization of the House. 1t had
been intimated here and elsewhere that there might
be an election, should he and the other candidates
for the Speakership retire from the contest Gen
tlemen would bear testimony that the position he
occupied was not one of his own seeking; and that
it was one from which he was anxious to reccde-
To relieve the House from embarrassment he would,
if possible, retire to-day, but would certainly retire
tomorrow, from the candidacy for the Spcakershp.
On motion of Mr.. Dowde, a resolution was adopt
ed that the daily sessions Of the House be opened
with prayer, and requesting the ministers of Wash
ington city to ofiicatc.
The House then voted for Speaker, with the fol-
lowing result Banks 80 Richardson 65, Fuller 80,
Campbell o, scattering 3.
Mr.. RuSk offered resolution, the sense Of the
House, that if Messrs Banks, Richardson and Fuller
prevent the of their names candidates for the
Speakership after to-day, nsurmountablc obstacles
to the organization Of the House would be removed
and the public interest thereby greatly promoted
! The House refused to lay the resolution on the
table by tie vote. The House also refused to or
| der the main question. So the subject goes over
! till tomorrow. The House then adjourned.
