WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Dec. 10, 1856.
| The argument in the Supreme Court on McCor-
micks Reaper Patent was continued to-day by
Daniel S. Dickinson, Reverdy johnson and Mr..
Stanton. This case came up on writ of error,
Mccormick having recovered s., 600 in the Court
below for infringement of patent.
Next Mondsy is set down for the re-argument OF
the cause indirectly involving the consttutiOnality
of the Missouri Compromise, which, after hear
ing and several consultations was postponed at the
last term, as much from political as Judicial. rea-
sons.
Mr.. Campbell, the Messenger Of the Electoral
College of Pennsylvania, deposited the vote of that
State this morning.
The discussion in the House on the Message was
animated and stirring. Mr.. Washburn Of Maine
opened with brilliant charge into the enemies
camp, which made much sensation from its vigor
and admitted execution.
Mr. Keitt followed IN a ready and off-hand reply,
characterized by his known peculiarites.
But Mr.. Gddings was the feature Of the occa-
sion, and doomed up grandly amid all efforts to dis
turb, hsrass and weaken his positions. He never
appeared better than when repelliDg the charges
against himself and others Of moving for emancipa-
ton in the saveholdng States. To bis challenge
to proof of any speech proposition in this respect
there was no answer, and the old man seemed to
tower above his assailants in consciousness of vim
dicated truth Nor did he stint in avowing his ex-
tremest opinions courageously, admitting that he
would not assist in executing the Fugitive Slave
law, and that all his actions were guided BY hatred
to oppression and slavery in every form.
Mr.. Pugh's speech in the Senate was an elabo-
rate yindcatiOn Of the Presidents Message and the
Northern Democracy. He did not retain a quorum.
This performance, like others from the same source,
failed to fulfil the reputation Of the speaker.
Special Dispatch to The N. Y Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Dec. 10, 1856.
We have had another great day in the House.
The Message was the topic
In the Senate Mr.. Pugh occupied most Of the
session. He manifested considerable skill in his
defense of the President, but not enough to excul
pate him in the least from the great wrong he has
committed against the people of the North.
The House has been musical all day. Mr..
Walker of Ala, who was entitled to the foOr was
too i'll to speak to-day, and gave notice that he
would speak next Tuesday on that portion Of the
Message relating to Central America.
Mr.. WAsHBuRN of Me. got the floor, aud made
an able speech in exposition Of the doctrine Of the
Message and in defence of the Republican party.
He was Intercepted by Mr.. Smith of Va, to know
if new State should apply for admission into the
Union with Constitution asking the right to form
| her own institutions if she would have his vote
Mr.. WAsHBURN.-When that question comes up,
shall meet IT and vote as circumstances guide me.
| Now, will ask the gentleman from Virginia q
question: If Utah should apply for admission into
the Union, with q constitution establishing poly
| gsmy, will she receive bis voter Laughter.
Mr. sMTTH-When the gentleman answers my
question, will reply to his. [Laughter.]
Mr. COBB Of Alabama-GOOd! That is Yankee
eat Yankee! (COntinued laughter.
Mr. SMITH, repeat the question.
Mr.. WAsBBuRN-And l repeat mine Roars
Of laughter.
Mr.. WAsHBURN proved that the President had
made up fal.e record Of history, and denounced
him in telling terms. All heresies and sins of
opinion, if not Of practice, may be tolerabe, tOler
ated aud excused, if we may judge from the Ian
euage and conduct of the President and his party,
except the enormous crime of Loving Liberty and
batting Slavery. This is the objectionable sin
which shall not be endured neither under this Ad-
ninistratiOn nor that which is to come Why, Sir,
Old. Line Whigs-Whigs of the straightest sect
High Tariff men, Bank men, and all those whom
the Democracy for quarter Of century have
charged with being uDpatrotic and dangerous men,
unworthy of the confidence Of the people, though
they stand covered as with garment by their un-
repehted sihs, have but to bow the knee to the
dsgOn Of Slavery and worship it as the god Of
their political idOlatry, and they are hailed
as good members of the modern Democratic
party, put forward to places Of leader

Third Degree Know Nothings, in all heir toeeery,

that the triumph Of Freedom in national ee ,tion
would be tantamount to dies button of the Union,

President seriously complains, should be found ony
