The CoNcERr.-The Concert of ameteur
musicians given last Tuesday evening for the
Renegit of the Poor, was well attended. The
gle failure marred the performances. The
proceeds-of the Concert amounted to nearly
two hundred dollars. This sum will give re-
lief TO many poor family, and the work of
charity should not be suspended day. The
community, and especially the poor, owe
thanks to those ladies and gentlemen who con-
cocted this charitable scheme, and who freely
lent their services to carrying it out SO charm
ingly.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.


HoUsE.-Mr. Thorington offered resolution
that Lewis ID. Campbell be declared Speaker
of the House. His reason for offering the res
olution was to contribute his mite towards an
organization. He proposed Mr.. Campbelps
name because he had heard him spoken of as
less Objectionable to some portion of the South
than Mr. Banks
Mr.. Galloway, though personally favorable
to Mr.. Campbell, could not change his position
till he was assured the sentiment of the South
was in Mr.. Campbelrs favor
Mr.. GiddIngs said this resolution had been
thrown into the House without consulting
those voting for Mr. Banks and by whom he
would stand until he could see that change
Of vote was for the better.
Mr.. Mace said that the fault of the House
being unorganized was attributed to the anti
Nebraskians who have majority and can any
day affect an election of Speaker they chose,
but to surrender their personal prejudices.

quarter Of the Union of the impression, If it
anyw there exists, that desire for conquest IS
cherished Tor the purpose of propasanding or
extending slavery"
A resolution framed in accordance with
these views, found place with others reported
BY Mr. Clay, aud read as follows:
Rssolred. That we do positively and en-
phatically disclain and disavow any wish or
desire, on our part, TO acquire any foreign
territory Whatever, for the purpose of propa-
gazing Slavery, OF Of introducing slaves from
the United States into such foreign territory.
Add to this his declaration in the compro-
mise debate in 1850:
i have said that never could vote for it
myself, and | repeat | never can and never
will vo.e, aud no earthly power can make me
vote to spread slavery over territory where 1t
does not exist"
Thus spake the father Of the Wing Party.

How the Candidates Look.

Brady, the daguerreotypist has ali the can
dida,es in his gallery-Fimere and Donel-
son, Buchanan aud Breckenridge, Fremont
and Dayton-two pictures OF each, colored
miniature, and a life-sized portrait. How do
they look?
Buchanan looks old, old--very old.
large-boned, heavy old man, with massive
head, quite gray, forehead all puckered be-
tween the ewes and the skin drawn tightly
over large liyid face. He looks like dead
old man. His mouth shows age IN every line
Ii is mouth that looks unused to smiilng; an
Irregular, Jagged hole in his face. Unhappy
old man! who threw away all the good ot lie
in schening for place, and now, totterlng on
the brink Of the grave, is doomed to see tie
nrize for which he lost his soul, approach only
to glide forever from his grasp. Stand before
that picture, young politician, and see what
! the scheming partisan becomes. Not that the
face is a bad face. 1t is an unhappy face, an
uneasy face an unnoble face, an old, old, but
not pleasant intelligent face. l. is the face OF
"A man. who has missed the true good and Joy
Of life, and who IS willing to sacrifice the
tranquility OF his last years 1or the sake Of
/ that which an Gti Inan has no excuse Tor val
uiug Ii is the face Of man who Is willing,
! at three score wears and ten 70 cease to be
James Buchanan, aud to become only the
! representative and tool of certain office hold
ers and office seekers, commonly called the
/ Democratic party"
I Breckenridge is quite the dandy--a black
{ haired. smooth faced, beardles~ young gentle
man OF thirGy His face, As deliueaed by
Mr. BaIy aad the sun, is devoid OF expires.
SION He is mewhat primly dressed. and
looks most competent to do all that may be
come a man in the drawing room. II he
should be called upou--which BE- is not going
10 be--to preside over the Senate he will be
Of all living men, the most out of place. He
will have to grow as never man grew before,
or he viii rot be able to fll the chair once
occupied by Adams and Jefferson.
Dayton is a handsome. well knit man, in
the very prime - manhood Hair black and
luxnriant; good symmetrical, massive fore
head an open, direct, guiiel-ss and fearless
expression of countenauce. He Is y manly
looking man one who would be fit, could
readily make himself fit for any place. He
would be called the handsomesU man in the
/ Presidential group.
! In the counieuance Of Fremont Is seen that
/ blended expression of strength and serenity
which marks the hero. Soft blue eyes; hair
brown and profuse: moustacLe and beard; a
ROSY face not without some lines stamped
upon it by toll expos ure and care; compo
( sed intellige look; earnest, thong ghtiul, an
ruffied; the open and somewhat flowing shirt
collar, imparting careless grace to the upper
part Of the person. Ii is the picture OF ii man
J who would be coolest when nearest destruc-
ton, aud unLer whose assuring eve towards
would become brave. 1t Is the face of a man
with whom it was inevitable that Jessie Ben
/ ton should run away. No girl worthy OF him
I could help 1t.
