One Of the ablest and most eloquent speech
ss which has been delivered in the House for 4
long time, was delivered yesterday by the hon.
C. L. VallAndigham. Of the Dayton District in
your State. It was received with frequent
bursts Of applause, and placed the speaker in
front rank Of dsbaters In the House. It was a
national, conservative hold, union loving speech
Just such as you would expect a western
Democrat to deliver. in expressing the feelings
and wishes Of the gallant Democracy whom he
was sent to represent. He denounced section
al disunionists, no matter whether from the
North or the South; he was chseriully willing
to obey all the constitutional requirements; and
spoke in glowing terms Of the present and fu-
ture power Of the great West in the affairs Of
the nation. cannot give you fair synopsis
of the speech but will send you as soon as pos
sible the whole document, and feel confident
that after perusal you will cheerfuliy endorse
every word '.'~- %.
Senator Mason's resolution calling fora Com
mittee of Investigation in the Harper's Ferry
affair, was adopted in the Senate on Wednes
day evening. The following Senators were ap.
pointed on the Committee-Mason, Davis, Fitch
Collamer and Doolittle. T,.n.
Two more ballots were taken in the Eouse
yesterday for Speaker, the last one resulting
Sherman, 10; Bocock, IS; GiImer, Is and scat
tering13 Whole number OF votes 226--ne-
ceSsary to a choice la. Among those who
voted for Sherman-the "irrepressible conflict
cand idate-were three men who had been elect
ed as anti. Lecompton Democrats, and who,
until the ballots yesterday asserted that they |
were Democrats, and opposed to Repubcanism.
The names ofthese traitors are John B Haskin
of New York, and John Stpa,t. and John Rick-
man, of Pa. These men are the especial pets Of
that renegade Joln w Farney He is anxious
% be elected Clerk, and to secure that end has
transferred the three traitors above named 10
he ranks Of the Republican party, Let the
Democracy Of the country mark them.
1t is exceedingly, doubtful however whether
heSe gentlemen will be able to obtain their
vlshes-the election of Sherman, as Speaker,
nd Forney, as Clerk l was informed last
yening, by very good authority. that it will be
impossible for them to obtain the other four
otes, required to make a majority. 1t is claim.
d that they have gone the length Of their
ope," and that rather than have for Speaker a
nan who endorses the HELPER pamphlet" all
he other parties will unite upon some conser-
ative, national man, and elect him. r.., ,'Es.uI
Senator Ben Wade, of your State, delivered
speech in the Senate day before yesterday,
hich is looked upon as bid for the Republ-
IN nomination for President lie virtually
1dorsed the doctrines set forth in the "Helper
ook" and endeayored to exhibit, as is usual
ith him, a terrible amount of"puck."
The New, York Herald has brought ont the
lme of Gen |. Scott as candidate for President
1860, regardless ofparty. 1t is very doubt
|, whether the "hero of Lundy's Lane'9 has
ready forgotten when certain Democrat by
G name Of Frank Pierce had the pleasure of
ntestinL the race for President with himin
81, and the result Of that race; and hardly
obable that he will again consent to SINH
