WAsHINoroN, Jan. 1O,-Fhe House
continued in session all night, and was
occupied by desullory debate, involving
the political position Of members. inter-
posed with ballots for speaker, all proving
Intellectual.
Mr.. Campbell of Ohio referred to a
letter from Giddings in the Ashlabula
Sentinel, stating that il was fairly deduct.
BILE from its tenor that he wished 10 get a
vote for himself (Mr. Campbell) as can
didate for speaker, point, by gratifying
him personally in order that he might re-
tire honorably from the contest.
Giddings exculpated Campbell from
any such impulation.
Campbell challenged any friend TO say
that such was his desire, and defended
himself from the charges Of the New York
Tihune, of being a doughface. He sta.
ted that he had ever on principle been op-
posedto the extension Of slavery, and chal
lenged all mankind 10 prove 10 the contra
ry, and avowed in strong terms his devo-
ltion to the principles held BY the Ameri-
can party.
At one O'Clock this morning, Paine
made an Intellectual motion for Orr, and
then for Smith Of Ala, TO temporarily oc-
cupy the chair ill speaker should be
