which otherwise, might have been easily accom-
plished before the adjournment. They, and theJ
only. are now accountable for the failure 10 pro-
coed TO public business. With confirmed obstinacy
and viDdictive maleyolence, they will perml1 no
man to be elected. whom they do not dictate, and
will lend aid unless their prejudloes are Directly
addressed. Mr.. Campbell of Ohio, voted with
these gentlemen, but for different motives and il

the result fayorably, it would not have been with

Opinions conflict as TO the future effect Of this
davis proceedings. Nv own is that the Immediate
prospect of an election has been 0y no means
biphtened. The inducements and the prompt
ing which were expected to persuade recusant
Members were as apparent and urgent to-day rs
thew will be hereafter, and having failed on this
occasion the hope of better success on some
other ia by no means encouraging. There is no
reason TO suppose there will be any accession from
the Democratic ranks, and il is well known that
the scattering" patriots are men more deter
mined in their hostility to Mr.. Banks, and more
fixed against organization than any other interest,"
in the House. The plain duty therefore OF the
true Anti-Nebraska men, who have nearly nu-
merical ascendancy over all the other factions
combined is to yield nothing which principle and
duty require them 10 maintain and TO nall their
cOlors TO the mast head resolved to conquer or
10 fall where they now are. Let them change the
form of PRAYER of the old Scotch Divine who said:
30 Lord, grant that we may be right for Thou
"knowest we are very decided and say, D Lord,
grant that we may be decided Tor ihou hhowe"
we are very right
Mr.. Dallas has returned no formal acceptance
10 the invitation of the President in regard to the
English mission but information has been received
that he will pre- sent himself to morrow and doubt
less with a view Of making the necessary arrange
ments tor entering upon the duties OF the appoint
ment Immediately. The presence OF a Minister at
London is now rendered important from the
changed condition of our relations, and especially
from the fact that Mr.. Buchanan has officially an-
nounced his intention Of retiring within the next
three weeks. .
The dispatches received from Mr.. Wheeler,
Minister to Nicaragua, give strong assurance oi
ability of Gen. Walker TO maintain himself waero
he is and to distribute his forces in the neigh5or
ing States according to the plan of restoring the
deposed President Of Hundreds and other refugee
officials. No advance of the troops called out by
Costa RIGA, stated to number two or three thou
sand men, and intended for the reliefof Nicaragua,
had been made nor was any anticipated if these
accounts may be trusted. All the statements
made by Mr.. Wheeler are taken with much allow
ance here, and therefore it is hardly requisite TO
warn the public against wrong Impressions to be
received from intelligence known to be contained
in his dispatches. There is no doubt, however.
that the conviction is growing in other quarters
that this invasion of Nicaragua is likely to prove a
permanent one; and it is by no means an improb-
ability that the existing Government or rather,
perhaps, one resulting from it, will have to be
recognized, as representing the only legal nation
atty of Nicaragua. The cooperatiOn of the adjoin-
ing States has been too slow to be effective, andi
hardness has inspired distrust in the ability to
command success, even if response should now
be made to the call for assistance.
For the second time this season the house of the
Secretary of the Treasury was tonight the scene
of large and brilliant assemblage OF what const-
tutes W sshiugton society during the Winter sea-
son. Both Houses of Congress were we'll repre-
scented, and official dignitaries were scattered
through the room in sufficient numbers to show
proper appreciation of the hospitality of Mr..
