Ohioan," in the Leavenworth Dispatch,
taking for q text little squib Of ours, at
the expense of Vallandigham, Of Ohio,
volunteers q defence Of the honorable gen.
tleman's character, asserting that he has
known him for twenty years, and knows
him to be strictly abstemious. When
Vallandigham left his paternal roof and
first engaged in politics. this was true !;
bat during his last two Congressional "a
ces, he departed from the lessons of his
youth. Indeed, whiskey was his chief
slectioneering document; and wherever
he appeared, it was noticed that his par
tisans were flush with whiskey money,
and were not backward in spending it.
During his last canvass, it was openly
charged that he had become a regular
Soap-stick, and that his bloated counter
ance would not conceal the fact. Of one
thing we are certain-we have seen Val
landigham drink intoxicating liquors,
with confirmed drunkards. and stand and
curse with them, as if he had been raised
to it We do not say that the Dispatch
correspondent wilfully makes false state
ments, bit We advise him hereafter to
endeavor to know what he says to be
true, before saying it.

The meeting was held in a church. and
each person, as he felt inclined, arose
and blovisted upon any subject he chose.
One speaker compared old John Brown
to Jesus Christ. He did not believe that
Christ was the Son Of God, but merely a
great and good man, sent upon earth to
set good example to mankind, by His
teachings, His works, and His sufferings.
John Brown, he thought. was sent in the
same manner and as Christ came as the
Savior Of the white race, so Brown would
be held as the Savior of the negroes! 1t
is the first time we ever heard the idea
advanced, that Christ was sent for the
benefit of any particular color. While
the fellow had his hand in, he should
have gone the whole hog. and contended
that Browns coming has done away with
Christ's gospel. as Christ superseded the
Mosaic laws. If the new doctrine comes
into general belief. it will sound little
odd at Grst, to go 70 negro camp-meet-

Election Of Speaker.
EXCITING SCENES IN THE HOUSED

It is impossible to describe the excite

Bocock and Sherman conducted him to
the Chair, when be made the following
address:
Gentlemen of the House of Reprssen-
tatives-I return you my grateful ac-
knowledgements for the distinguished
honor you have been pleased to confer on
me, in electing me Speaker Of this House.
Coming here for the first time at the pres
emit session, to be associated with you as
member, no event could be more I'M

upon to preside over your deliberations.
and my friends will do me the justice to
say, that have not sought the position,

nevertheless, as conscious of the dignity
and importance OF this high office. as
any gentleman can be, but | should have
been far better pleased, could the duties
have been entrusted to ADLER and mors ex-
perienced hands. After witnessing the
almost insurmOuntabls obstacles in the
way of an organization of this House, l
came to the conclusion that any gentle
man of any party who could command
a majority Of the votes for Speaker was
bound. in Difference to public exigencies.
to accept the responsibility a. an act Of
patriotic duty, whether it was agreeable
to his feelings or not. As that choice
has Unexpectedly fallen on me. l have not
hesitated to accept it. In the execution
of this high trust my object will oe to do
my duty. with impartislity and justice
to all. l shall have great necessity. gen.
tlemen, for your indulgence in the new
position in which l am placed, and l feel
entire confidence that / shall receive it at
your hands. A Representative from the
State of New Jersey, upon whose soil So
many brilliant achievements were accom-
plished in the Revolutionary War, AMI
whose people have ever been distinguish
ed for devotion to the Union and the
Constitution, pray to the great arbi-
traitor of our destinies that may do no
act to impair the integrity of either, but
that by wise and prudent counsels, peace
and order may yet reign in our midst,
and our free institutions may be perpetu-
ated to our descendants. / feel that /

You for your kindness, l now enter upon

CoSGREss.-The long agony is over.
(OriginDl, and q Speaker is at leugth
chosen. This desirable event occurred on
Wednesday. the LIST inst, 1.-THE day before
Ground-Hog's Day. and one day earlier
than the election of Banks, in 1856.
Sherman Withdrew, and Ex-Governor
Pennington, of New Jersey, formerly q
Wing, but now a conservative Republic
can, was chosen. Briggs, of New York,
who, by his course, had become a nui-
sance in the House, gFudgingly gave his
vote for Pennington. But the honor of
the election belongs to the gallant Henry
Winter Davis. of Maryland. He is
man who has q soul above sectionslism,
and could not be deferred from doing
what he deemed right, by the taunt of
Abolitionism, and the fact which was
costsntly hurled at him, that he represen-
ted a slave-holding constituency.
After the election, the House adjourn
ed until Friday. to give the Speaker time
to arrange his COMMITTEES. 1t is quite
probable that Col. Forney has been cleo
ted Clerk; AMI Hon. Henry w. Hoffman,
formerly an American member Of Con-
grsss from Maryland, chosen Seargent- at
Arms.
If any doubt existed as to Pennigton's
political sympathies, we presume they
will be set at rest by tina manner in
which he arranges his Committees. -
Sherman is 70 be chairman of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means, and Grow,
Chairman of the Commute on Territories.
Henry Winter Davis will be offered a
high station, but it is thought that he will
decline Perhaps he remembers the SLAM
ders which followed Henry Clay to the
grave, and means to avoid similar WIS.,
itation. Clay, Southern Congressman,
in 1926, felt it his duty, for the country's
welfare, to vote for for John Quincy Ad-
ans for President, and thereby elected
him. He afterwards accepted the Office
of Secretary of State under Adams Adj
miuistration, and was accused by his en-
emies of selling himself for the Office.
James Buchanan was one of the blood
hounds that pursued Clay with that SIAN
der, and he is not too old or too hon
orable to hound young man like Henry
Winter Davis.
Immediately after the election of a
Speaker, notice was given of a bill for
Post Office appropriations. 1t is to be
hoped now, that something will be done
besides talking about Helper and John
Brown. 1t is pretty certain that the ras-
cality, corruption and extravaganza of
the Administration will be thoroughly
Investigated and exposed. 1t was to
avoid this, that the Administration mem
bers endeavored to prevent the organiza-
ton of the House.

PARTICULAR EoTToE.-We again find
it necessary to perform the unpleasant
duty Of dunning. We ask all who are
indebted to Us, either on subscription, adj
vertisiug or job work, to settle without
delay. Many persons are indebted to us
from the commencement of our paper,
almost threesyears ago. We need the
money badly, and have needed it for
long time but we have endeavored to
work along without il, and at times have
found it very hard work indeed. The
money is justly due us, and now we want
it. It is our desire that all accounts be
settled by the first of April, at farthest.
Since we have been in White Cloud, we
have made something ahead, if we can
only get it; If not. it had better remained
unmade. "The laborer is worthy Of his
hire" and we know we have labored
hard enough to be worthy Of every cent
due Us. Our paper has not been such as
we could desire, yet it has been as good
as we could make it under the circum-
stances. Papers have suspended all
around us, under fewer and less difficult
ties than we have had to contend against.
If we can get what is due us, we want to
produce better paper than heretofore,
with the opening of Spring. If we can't
get it, we do not feel disposed to continue
wearing our life away for the benefit of
others. We have now several favorable
offers to better our condition; but we
have liking for this corner Of the earth
ard its people, and prefer remaining here,
if they will emily give us what is justly
ours, without having to beg for it after it
is earned.

MORE ON BY-eosE SUBJEcr.-Some
of-tke friends Of DR.. J. s. Long. think
we left him in an equivocal position
touching the matter of the judges of the
last election at Iowa Point; and they
seem to feel that some explanation to the
public is due him. This is the first We
knew the affair remained in en- unsatis-
factory shape. The DIR. wrote his own
explanation, which we published; and 1t
being satisfactory to US. We deemed 1t
so to his friends and the public. We
doubt not he spoke the truth in his Card;
and If so, it exonerates him from all
blame of disregarding the election law.
The facts are these: he had no thought
of being chosen judge of election, and
therefore had not made himself thorough
ly acquainted with the law. He was
chosen Judge when it was time to open
the polls; the Governors Proclamation,
which set forth the law and regulations
for conducting the election, was not at
hand and the two Democratic judges
decided according to their own notions,
and were sustained by the outside brawl-
ers, who usually govern the judges at
that precinct. The DR.. protested against
what he conceived to be violations Of the
law. and against receiving votes which
be considered illegal; but his objections
were overruled by the other two judges,
and the outside crowd. These being the
facts, we think no blame attaches to the
DR.. for the illegality Of the election. But
one thing would have satisfied us Of his
innocence, even if We had known nothing
Of the above facts. and it is simply this !:
The Dispatch. while it made labered
effort to clear the Democratic judges,
cast slurs and insinuations upon DR..
Long, and even dragged in his religious
belief. That circumstances convinced not
only us. but the impartial portion Of the
public, where the shoe pinched.
