DEBATE IN THE HOUSE


the National inteJigencer:
Mr.. Hill, of Georgia, said there was evidently
no chance of organizing the House by proceedin!
to ballot again, and he should move that the Hous
adjourn. Before there could be anv election ther
must be combination of the elements of the Oppo
sltion. There had been no agreement betweer
Democrats and Americans and Anti-Lecompton
Democrats, nor between any gentlemen on the floor
and the Republicans, that he had heard Of II the
House was to be organized at all, most assuredy j
must be alter fair, distinct and open understand
ing between pattes-there was no use in Disgusting
lt-in regard to the apportionment of patronage
where this and that office is to 90, and who arc
bound in honor to stand by what is done. month
OF bauottlng without such understanding would not
make Speaker, and if thev were to consume time
IN that way they might well go home to Their
constituents till the first of January, and perhaps
| bring back some new light and better frame o
mind They might take advantage perhaps OF the
| casualties of the Christmas HOLIDAYS for strauOe
things sometimes do happen. 1t was of no use tc
stay here and go through this routine, to show
the country they were trying to make Speaker
when the country understood very well that il
was impossible. He would insist on the motion to
adjourn.
Mr.. WINsLow, of North Carolina thought il
would be good plan to confer with their constitu-
ents, and after one more ballot, had proposed to
offer this resolution:
ReSoIred That, from and after to-day Ito m morrow no
! of January next.
Mr.. BURNETT, of Kentucky desired to saw few
words. lie was ready and anxious to organize by
electlng any conservative man, and, though he
would prefer Democrat, the last ballot convinced
him that no Democrat could be elected. The
Southern Opposition, numbering only twenty three
votes, though claiming to be national men, re.
CURED the Democrats to go to them. Why
would not the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr
Etheridge) vote to-day for Mr.. Millson, whom he
proposed by resolution four years ago to make
| Speaker? Had his character changed personally
I I'M He fora l,
Mr. ErHENDGE would give the reply. Four years
ago, when he nominated Mr.. MiSOn, not a single
Democrat would vote for him.
! Mr.. WINsLow, of North Carolina said that was
because Mr.. Miilson positively declined
| Mr. ETHERlDGE said he withdrew his name only
at the earnest request of friends around him. He
nominated him then because he had resisted the
Kansas Nebraska bill; but times had since changed
and political conduct had changed The gentle.
man from Virginia was not the same man political
" now, Tor he had sought to do that which was the
| beginning Of the scenes now being enacted: that
which had lighted the torch which nearly set the
world on fire; that which, as a Southern man. he
than ked God that he had been unable to do-he had
sought to force upon an unwilling people by Exec
utive force constitution which they abhOrred. He
might be compelled to vote for Democrat but
never for one who had sanctioned the attempt tc
force Kansas into the Union under the Lecomptou
| constitution. Applause
MI BURNETT was an advocate of the Kansas-Ne e.
| brasEa bill, but saw in Gen. Millson one who al
md 1Tf1nr rars
| among his constituents. He understood the gen.
| tleman rom Tennessee to saw that ,ybon a Ds,,n
| crat should receive ninetv-three votes he would
vote for him, and yet, while Mr.. Millson received
nInety-six votes, he found that gentleman voting
| for one who had withdrawn his name.
Mr.. FruERTpGE had said no Democrat conId ra
ceiye nlnety-three Democratic votes, and that was
true for Mr.. Wilson's ninety-six votes were made
up partly of those Of the Southern Opposition.
Mr.. BURNETT replied that the gentleman had re
o min ntv-t thrn,
votes. although he had invited him to vote for Mr.
Gilmer, after he had seen the leader of the Black
Republicans endorsing him.
Mr.. ErurnIpGE said if every Southern Onposi
tion man had voted for Mr.. Millson he would hav,
failed, simply because the Democratic party screw
and lash could not bring in the members of thei
own party.
MIR. BURNETT understood very well that tn
united Southern vote would not have elected him
but the spectacle would have been one of qrea
moral power, which woald have made the endor
scrs of Helpers book tremble.
Mr.. ErHEKDGE did not want to see a united
South, because that would defeat the very object
view. A sectional appeal on one side would BE- me
by a similar appeal on the other As an American
citizen he ignored all geographical lines and woult
never stand on that floor Il sectional man. II,
