THE HOUSE.
Mr. McRae concluded his speech without excit-
ing the same interest as yesterday. He charged
the Republicans with violating the Constitutional
rights of the South, and said if their theory was
carried out, it would lead to dissolution, as Geor-
gia and Mississippi were pledged to that extremity,
If such contingency happened. Referring to the
Union meeting in Boston, he held that Messrs.
Everett and Gushing were not sound, and the
South ought not to be deceived by such demon
stratiODs.
Mr. Carter of Long Island read brief speech,
urging the House to sense % duty, and depre-
eating the scenes witnessed since it met. He gave
satisfactory reasons for supporting Mr. Sherman
as a national man, who would organize the Com
mittees fairly and justly and entitled to be chosen
as representing the largest interest in the chamber.
He was not attached to any party himself, but
justified bis course for these and other conclusive
reasons. When he concluded,
Mr. Winslow of North Carolina proposed vote
for Speaker which caused much sensation on the
floor, be having acted principal negotiator with
the Southern Opposition.
MIR. Stanton, Of Ohio, suggested q call of the
House.

HIS resolutions, but yielded at the request OF Mr.
Houston and others to the proposed vote.

Sherman, one hundred and eight; Mr.. BOcocE,
eighty-six; Mr.. Gilmer, twenty-five; and the rest
scattering One hundred aud fourteen was neccs-
sary for choice. Mr.. Sherman wanted SIX, Us on
the former occasion, the House, being, relatively the
same, counting pairs. The anti Lecomptonites dl-
yided their preferences as heretofore, except Mr..
Schwartz. who voted for Mr Gilmer There was
some hesitation the part of Mr. Reynolds, at the
critical moment, preventing Dir. Hasklu leading oil
for MFR. Sherman which, with the other three,
would have increased the aggregate to one hun
dred and twelve, aud left the decision with Horace
Clark and Mr.. Briggs.
For the first time, Mr.. Riggs, who has steadily
voted for the South, received one complimentary
vote.
MIR. Vallandgham had obtained the floor before
the ballot. and resumed it, when interrupted by
Mr.. Miles of South Carolina, who thought the
House should show the country that it was disposed
10 mike some effort at the business for which the
Representatives were sent here. 1t was obvious
that speaking had not promoted the organization
and, therefore, he suggested one ballot daily, at
beast
Mr. Stanton ofOhio, said his friends were prepared
TO vote constantly, and not consume one moment IN
debate They were ready to continue now until
the Speaker was elected There being no presiding
officer, the majority bad no power to restrain de-
bate as long as the minority resisted.
John Cochrane inquired if they could elect
Speaker.
Dir. Stanton replied they would try.
Mr.. Cochrane continued, the Republican slde
had been distinguished by studied silence, and the
Democratic by studied speech-msking He sug-
0ested that some power should come over and elect
Mr. Bocock
Mr.. Miles thought enough hsd been said on the
subject, but stil believed great good had resulted
from the discussion in enhghtening the country as
10 the position of parties. When he closed, cries OF
W. - .tVoie " rose from the Opposition side;
