Mr.. Benson continued: Therefore, according
to the resolution passed this day, the Hon.
Nathaniel p. Banks, of Massachusetts, is de
clared Speaker of this House for the Thirty
fourth Congress-.
Cheer after cheer resounded from the gal
Ieries, intermingled with Kisses, while hand
kerchiefs were freely waved by the ladies.
The Clerk stated that it was understood be
tween the gentleman from Maine Mr. Benson
and the gentleman from Alabama Mr. Dow
dell, that if Mr. Banks should be elected Speak
er under the plurality rule, the gentleman from
Maine should make the announcement, and II
Mr.. Aiken should be elected the gentleman
from Alabama should make the declaration.
Mr. A. X. Marshall, of Kentucky, then rose,
and contended that, according to the terms OF
the resolution adopted this morning, MIR. Banks
was not the Speaker of the House. According
TO the terms of that resolution, Mr.. Banks must
be declared duly elected to that position. He
desired his friend from Arkansas to state what
occurred in l949, as that was the precedent
upon which the House now based its action.
Mr.. Rust, referring to the journal of that
year, stated that after the honorable gentleman
from Georgia Mr.. Cobb had received the
largest number of votes cast, under a resolution
similar to that which the House had adopted
this morning, Mr.. Stanly, of North Carolina,
offered resolution declaring Howell Cobb
duly elected Speaker of the House ofRepresent-
atives for the Thirty first Congress. In MIR.
RS opinion, no Speaker could be elected in the
present instance, unless such a resolution should
be adopted.
Mr.. Marshall (resuming) would ask the
Clerk-who had presided with so much fairness
and dignity, and without having upon any &C.
casion assumed the exercise of any power
l.. l.
who had always refused to decide questions Of
order, submitting them to the House for its de-
termination-he would ask that officer if, upon
this great and vital question, he would dare
ay, that wasthe word-iR the absence of official
power, to induct into the Speakers chair man
who had not received majority of the votes
of the body2 If he should do so, Mr.. NJ would

The motion to adjourn was disagreed to
yeas SO, nays l62.
The three votes taken under the resolution
adopted this morning having proved Intellectual
in producing result, the contingency therein
provided for now arrived. Before, however,
the House proceeded to vote under the plural
ity rule
Mr.. Fuller, of Pennsylvania, would again re-
turn his grateful acknowledgements to those
gentlemen who had honored him with their
confidence, and request them to cast their sui
frages for better and an ADLER man.
The Clerk then proceeded to call the roll.
Mr.. Barclay, of Pennsylvania, had been
averse to anything that looked like coalition
with the Know Nothings, he cared not whether
they came from the North or the South. He
had this morning, as on yesterday, thrown his
votes against the honorable gentleman from
South Carolina. He should now like to know
one or two things, before casting his vote upon
this, the most important ballot of the session
He should like to know from the gentleman
from South Carolina, whether he stood upon
the resolutions passed by the Democrats of the
House on the first of December last, and whether

The announcement of the result was succeed
ed by applause in the galleries.
MIR. Orr, of South Carolina remarked that
the compliment given yesterday to his colleague
Mr.. Aiken rendered it very evident to his
mind that that gentleman would be able to con-
centrate greater strength than he could; and
as he desired to see the House organized upon
national principles, in opposition to sectional
ism, he would take this occasion to withdraw
his name Internationally from the contest.
Mr.. Boyce, of South Carolina, moved to re-
scind the plurality resolution just passed by the
House.
On motion of Mr.. Smith, of Tennessee, the
motion was laid on the table-yeas III. pays

Mr.. A. K. Marshall, of Kentucky, submitted
a resolution to exclude from nomination any
one who had been voted for.
The Clerk stated it to be his opinion that,
under the resolution providing that the House
should Immediately proceed to the election of
a Speaker, the proposition was not in order.
Mr.. Jones, of Tennessee, would move that
the House adjourn, so that the contest might
be decided on Monday next.
The House refused to adjourn-yeas 81,

There were now loud cries of /" call the roll"
Mr.. Walker, of Alabama, moved to rescind
the plurality rule.

necessity of moving that they be cleared Cries
of that's right" He Of course did not alude
to the ladies' galleries.
There being loud demands for the call of the

to renew and infame the strife that at this
time endangers the rights and union Of the
States" The truth is, they know and believe
that the present position of the Democratic
party is the only true and sound one on this
question, and they are forced to accept their
measures whether they would or not.
Let, then, the other Southern States look to
the inconsistent course pursued by these leaders,
who undertake thus TO throw away their infu-
ence. Let them pause before they follow a
lead, which must strengthen those who are
engaged in crusade against their acknow-
lodged rights, and give power to candidate,
whose pretensions are unworthy Of being scru-
tinized, and unfit to be considered in national
contest
