tiOn vote for Speaker had, with the following

MIR. GODDARD moved ~ an amendment that the
House proceed to take three votes, and if choice
not effected, the person receiving the highest
number Of votes be declared elected. He said he bad
hopes that after taking long an adjournment MEM
bers would have been prepared to make choice, but
he found they stood with cOmnendabe hrmness TO
their candidates.
Mr.. Lynch moved to lay the motion on the table.
MIR. BARNES spoke in favor of adopting the propo-
siton made by Mr.. GODDARD, an detained that the
Republicans had been, throuhogut this contest,
anxious to effect an organization There those
who were disposed to force the Republican members
into abandonment Of their position, and compel
them to bow to their behests. But they would find
that the Republicans made OF entirely different
material from what they think they are. 1t was said
that the Republican party had failed to make any
concessions. The gentleman from Delaware Mr..
Law) had announced that the Americans would take
further part in the organization after offering his
shOrt-ved resolutions. Mr. Il. trusted that this de-
termination was not to be adhered to, but that they
will do all that is requisite for the interests of the
State. AS to concession what does concession mean
1t means, used here, to yield up what the Republic
can party can never yeld-their distinctive position
as a party. Ii was hoped that the American party
would come here and vote for their candidates for
few days, as TO show their position, and then JOIN
with one Of the two great parties here and effect an
organization; that they would not 90 over bodily, but
that they would divide up and vote, each his
preferences chose, between the two parties. But the
Republican party soon learned that they had nothing
TO expect from them. As to this proposition, the reso
luton does not say who shall be Speaker: if the
Americans fit to go with the Democrats then their
candidate will be chosen; they go with the Repub-
licans, then their candidate will be chosen.
Mr.. T. JONES said he was gratified to see the gem
tlemen from st. Lawrence and Steuben take their
from that dirty pool OF politics where he Mr.
came from-New -iork--and Obcymg the mandate of
that representative of all that is moral, The NEW
York TRIBUNE. That paper calls upon its party here
to insist upon the plurality rule lie then proceeded
to rdcule the Americans andAtepubllcana-clairnlng
that the Republicans would talk nothing but turkey
for themselves.
Mr. GODDARD rose to say that the gentleman was
entirely mistaken when he supposed this resolution
was dictated by The TRIBUNE. He had not seen
The TRIBUNE to-day.
Mr.. IAEING moved an adjournment. Carried.
Yeas, GO; Nays, 55-Americans voting with the Dem
ocrats.
