mocracy proclaimed their willingness to vote
for South American. Cox, Of Ohio, said
he could not do that. Brodson nominated
Maynard OF Tenn, as Speaker. Ashmofe
explained his purpose in giving his vote now
for Maynard. Florence explained, and init.
mated that he should do the same. A num-
Der Of Democrats explained, under the same
intention. Harxins said he was conservative
in his principles, and should therefore vDte
now as heretofore for John Sherman. whose
Union loving sentiment met his entire appro-
baton. English asked il he had not voted
for Gilmer. Haskins replied be had voted
for Gilmer because in the 35th Congress be
stood alongside himself and Sherman Ia OPP

slavery In Nebraska.

The blu to abolish slavery in Nebraska,
which We recently noticed as having been in
sfodaesd int the Nebraska Legislature, was,
on the 10th, killed in the Council, which body
had charge OF it. The Nebroskian, the
Democratic organ at the Capital, reioices

Con soIIng.

The Union-savers Of the North must feel
very much consoled by the manner in which
their edorts are received at the South. Sneers
and contempt are pretty much all the thanks
which they receive from that quarter, and all
that they deserve. The South looks through
the trick, and knows, as we'll % we do, that
it 10 substantially humbug. Some few
timid, frightened souls give vent to honest
patriotism, on such occasions, bot the in
terests Of trade and the schemes Of polisi.
clans lie at the bottom of the whole mat
ter rs the South we'll understands. We
quoted, the other day, the remarks or
McRae, OF Mississippi, in Congress. They
were severe, but just. The Virginia Iader
says, with equal pertinence and truth:
: "Publie meetings, like those at Phladsl-
phia and Boston, do very we'll to yentilate
the fossil remains OF defunct conseryA-
tism, and to beguile the fearful and timid at
the South into false security-but they are
the pageants of an hour, the mere twitchinrs
Of . galvanized corpse"
And the Charleston Mercury, speaking OF
the so-called sConservatismo that airs itself
80 volubly on such occasions, draws this
scorching parallel:
"The difference between the tConserva-
tiyes' and the Republicans is just the differ.
ence between Lucifer and Satan. Lucifer il
. very distingus looking individual Of an In
describable age, With handsome face, bril-
liant black eyes. heavy mustache, sombre-
70 hat, Spanish cloak, and rapier at his
side. He is courtly gentleman, and never
INDUCES in loud talk, and balderdash, and
violence. He would reason with you, and
conduct you most politely TO the mansions OF
the unhappy forever. Satan is loathesom
brute, With contorted features, blear eyes, a
black skin, long, forked tail, and claw feet
Satan would seize you in his claws, drive BIZ.
forked tail through you, and drag you t.
bill, amid ssenches OF birthstone and sui.
phur."
Appropriate the comfort, gentlemen!

amend the motion, so that the Message be 70.
ceived and read.

Much excitement prevailed, tho Republi.
can members calling for the yeas and nays.
"A Gall OF the House was ordered.
Mr.. Stanton, OF Ohio, argued that there
was no precedent for reading the Message
when the House was not organised.
MIR. Craige then withdrew his amendment,
and the original motion was agreed to.
MIR. Smith, Of Va, then resumed his re-
marks on the slavery question, referring to
its history for years past, and causing nu-
merous long extracts to be read in support OF
his position.
Mr.. Houston, of Ala, offered resolution
proposing temporary Speaker for ten days,
nothing to be done in the meantime except
the passage OF q bill to meet the deficiencies
and liabilities Of the Post-ofice Department,
when the Office shall become vacant and the
House proceed to the election of q Speaker.
The Republican side objected to the intro
auction Of the resolution.
Mr.. Houston wanted it made known that
the objection came from the Republicans,
who pretend great sympathy for the govern
ment mail contr actors, but are not willing to
adopt measure with the view to their re-
lief.
Mr.. Washburne, Of Illinois, said they would
accept the resolution ii John Sherman's name
was inserted in the blank.
