who do and do not sell their principles

The Infidel Dutch.

EE The Legislature of Missouri re-.
fused to incorporate Turnverein Asso-
citation lately, through the efforts of DEM
ocratic members. One member, who
was strong in his resistance to the bill
said he should vote against it because
+" it was intended to incorporate set of
infdel Dutch, who did not believe in
heaven, hell or the devil" The Turn
verein is social and gymnastic institu-
ton, and undoubtedly the only reason
for this TRADE against the Germans was
that in Missouri they are mostly Repub-
licans. For this cause the Democracy
were unwilling to show them any favors.

Congress-.

re- On Friday last a combination Of
Americans and Democrats came very
near putting Mr.. SMITH. of North Caro-
lima, An American, in the Speakers chair.
He received ll2 votes out of 229, thus
lacking only 8 of a majority. SHERMAN
received 106, CoRw1S 4, scattering six.
The House adjourned over until Monday.
and on Saturday the Republicans were
to hold caucus, when it is thought Ell
Their Coz WIN, or PENNINGTON, of New
Jersey, would be put in nomination.
The probabilities are in favor of the lat
ter, who has had a long Congressional
experience, and would make an excel
lent presiding officer. Mr.. SMITH is a
new member, and probably has no COM
potency for the Speakers chair.
LATER.-The House was crowded al
most to sufocation on Monday. under
the impression that Speaker would be
elected, and some time was occupied in
clearing the floor OF the chamber. When
the House decided to proceed to the cleo
ton of Speaker, Mr.. SHERMAN rose
amid profound silence. and said that
throughout this prolonged contest he
had been supported by large plurality
of friends. He thanked them cordially
for their fidelity and devotion. Amid
all threats they had stood undismayed,
conscious of the rectitude Of their in
tcntions, their advoca,ion Of the Consti-
tuition, and their obedience of all laws.
He believed it would be a national cal
amity.to have supporter Of the admin
istration, directly, or indirectly. in the

AH CAssIUs M. CLAY recently spoke
in Frankfort, Kentucky, in reply to the
positions of Gov. MAGoFFIN, in his in
augural address, and to those of Vice
President BRECKENRIDGE, in speech de-
livered subsequent to his election as
United States Senator. The Hall of Rep
resentatives being denied him, Mr.. CLAY
spoke from the steps of the Capitol, to a
very large audience, who listened to
him with profound silence or occasional
applause. He spoke for over three hours,
and his speech, copied from the Cincin-
natl Gazette, makes over two pages in the
New York Daily Tribune. Mr.. CLAY
ably and fully defended the Republican
Party from the misrepresentation of its
enemies, defended Senator SEWARD and
his positions, charged home the Harper's
Ferry raid upon the Democracy, as Sc
quence of the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise, discussed the question
OF Slavery in the Territories, and the
bred Scott decision, in good Republican
style, endorsed Helpers Book, discussed
the Fugitive Slave Law, the question Of
dissolution, the Slave Code, and all main
or collateral issues between the two par
ties, with all the plainness of Republi-
can speaker before Northern audience.
In conclusion, after cries of ego on"
and eve will stand by you all night"
he spoke thus truthfully, feelingly and ell
oquently
=" have stood by you all the long days of my
youth and manhood, extinguished all the aspir-
alton OF ambition, suffered ignominy and con-

Saturday S Morning. NJ Nag. e es n
Our general market has exhibited only mode
rate degree of animation during the past week,
and Cotton especially has been heavy and de-
pressed under the influence of unfayorable &C.
counts from Europe and the pressure Of large
stock of Inferior and Dusty descriptions. Sugar
and Moasses have improved, owing to reduced
supplies; but in Tobacco the operations continue
of limited character, with heavy market. In
Western Produce we have noticed dull market
for Flour, and declind in Pork and Bacon, but a
fair amount Of business has been doing in Corn at
firm prices. Freights have been inactive, with a
continued tendency in favor Of shippers.
The Fulton's advices, with Liverpool dates to
the 18th inst appeared in our columns on Wednes-
day morning, and the North Britons with CONNER
cial accounts two days later, on Thursday morn
ing. The sales Of Cotton for the four days were
stated at about 10000 bales, including 7ooO for
export and speculation, with slight decline for
all qualities that in the lower grades amounting to
I.l6@Ad. The Advices from Manchester were
considerable favorable, the demand for Cloths be-
ing fair while Yarns had in some cases slightly de-
elined.
CoTToN The week opened with heavy Cot
ton market under the influence of the European
advices noticed in last weekly report, and the
depression was subsequently increased by the re-
ceipt of the Fnlton's accounts and though Factors
were willing sellers, and were disposed to yield
material concessions on the lower qualities, the
sales up to Wednesday evening were confined to
about 81 500 bales, comprising $500 on Saturday,
10000 on Monday, $500 on Tuesday, and 1000 on
Wednesday, prices showing decline of fully lc.
70 b. on all qualities below Middling, and being in
favor of buyers for nearly all grades. On Thurs
day prices were still easier, and purchasers were
found for about II 500 bales, and yesterday some
5000 bales were taken, making total for the week
of about 81 900 bales the market closing unsettled,
especially for the lower qualities. We now quote
