Tie greatest number Of Clubs are always
found under tile tree that bears tie best fruit.
When such men as Harrison. Clay, Taylor,
and Fremont, tie men Of real aud not mega
tive merit. are candidate for office tleir char
acters are assailed in the NEST yiTuleut manner
Political sheets rain and hail les on them. |,
is not necessary tia these lies are consistent
with each other. or with the position Of those
who utter them. The anti HI ow Nothing
Democrat charges Fremont with being a
foreigner; the tolerant Democrat charges. rs
a stigma upon his character, that he is a
Roman Catholic; the office holder, who has
lived on the ste ,linQs Of Office Tor Years, says
he is a defaulter. Besides all these. he is Il
fllibustcr because he obeyed The somewhat
enigmatcal order Of Mr.. Secretary Of State,
Marcy, nd rescued California 10 the Union;
n Know Nothing as well as Catholic; an ille
Ultimate, and az igaoramus And SO it has
ever been. Time. however. MAKES on, aud
in his march puts all these SANDERS under his
feet. Next November the people will render
their verdict upon the latest brood OF them, in

FRIDAY, Jan. Is, 1855.
Mr. CARLILE addressed the House in defence
of the American party, and in favor OF the orgahi-
cation of the House. He regarded it as the duty
of every member of the House to forget party for
the time and unite upon some national candidate
for Speaker, In order TO effect speedy organiza-
ton.
Mr.. FAULKNER alluded to his resolution call
ing for the resignation Of members, and said that,
if any member could offer any practicable mode Of
organizing the House, he would withdraw it;
Mr. MACE offered compromise proposition for
the organization of the House, which he hoped
would be concurred in without a discussion. IL
was a resolution that N. p. BANKS be declared
Speaker VIM Cullom, Clerk A. j. Glossbrenner,
Sergeant-at-Arns j. NJ. johnson, Postmaster |;
and z. w. McKnew, Doorkeeper.
Mr.. WHEELER moved to lay the resolution on
the table.
The ayes and noes were ordered. The Repub-
licans voted in the negative and the National
Americans and Democrats in the affirmative. The
result was-ayes Ill, noes 90. So the resolution
was laid on the table.
Mr.. GIDDINGS rose and stated that the condi-
ton OF the House now was similar to that which
existed in lS49. At that time the Democratic
caucus adopted the plurality rule.
Mr.. COBB, of Georgia. That is a mistake
Mr.. GIDDINGS. The gentleman may contra
dict the record III he pleaSeS. Will read IL. he
then read from the Globe the proceedings of the
House previous to the election of Speaker in 1S49.
The record showed that the Committee of Confer
ence of Wings and Democrats, agreed to adopt
the plurality rule, and that Speaker was elected
by virtue of this agreement
He then urged the Democrats to BE consistent
and vote now Tor the same rule they did in l849.
Mr. COBB replied, and stated that the majority
of the Democrats in ls49 did not vote for the plu
rality rule.
He then said that the Republicans could have
organized the House, il they had voted for Mr..
Campbell. Fifty-four of the Republicans refused to
vote for the resolution appointing Mr.. CAMPBELL,
Speaker.
The Republicans therefore, were responsible for
the disorganization Of the House.
With regard to the plurality rule, he declared he
would never vote for it, SO long as its adoption
would secure the election of Mr.. BANKS Under
other circumstances he might vote for it.
Mr.. G1DDINGS then read at the request of sew
eral Democratic members the remarks OF Mr.. Stan
ton of Tennessee, in 184e, in relation to the plu-
rality rule, and his statement that the Democratic
caucus had concurred in it,
Mr.. MILLS0N stated that he was member of
that caucus, and had no recollection of the adop-
ton of any such resolution as that referred to.
Mr.. ORR also stated that he had no recollection
of the adoption of any such resolution, either di-
rectly or indirectly.
Mr.. JONES, of Tennessee, stated that the record
did not show what Mr.. GIDDINGs asserted-but
was merely the remarks of the reporter.
