On Friday the House proceeded with its or

opposition candidate, Clerk, II. A Hoffman OF
Maryland Sergeant-at-ArmS. Both of these
candidates were recommended by the republic
can caucus. Mr.. Forney had one majority.
and Mr.. Hoffman fifteen. The same political
strength that carried Mr.. Pennington in the
Speakers chair elected Mr.. Forncy. The re-
suit in all of its aspects Is u most gratifying
and as affording an indices of the consolidated
power of the opposition in the presidential con-
test will be hailed everywhere and by every true
friend Of the non-extension of slavery as an
earnest of success. Mr.. Forney's election was
the occasion Of much rejoicing at Washington
among the republicans. In the evening, they
paradcd about the town, accompanied by n
band Of music, aud called upon Forncy aud
his especial friends aud supporters. Forney,
Hickman and Hastings made speeches Col.

the FIRST ballot, and Mr.. Hoffman, OF Maryland,

resolutely stood by the republican candidate

The Democrat seems to admit that democratic
conventions Of recent date are proper subjects
for our ridicule, but thinks our notices of them
should be truthful We mean always, so far as
our descriptive powers will admit to make
them so, but VIC fear We have generally, come
far short OF what they should have been to
make them fully up to the life. We humbly
confess that our portraits though truthful, as
far as they went, have fallen far short of the
reality, our language has not generally the
power TO convey an adequate idea of the con-
fusion, turmoil, and contention that usually
prevails in one OF these affairs. The only man
in the State who seems to have the power to do
them justice is, the democratic editor ofthe
Bath Times, who has spoken Of one of them,
1.-THE prototype ofthe recent one held in this
place), as the place "where devils held carnival
and where honor, manliness and deceney were
outraged" sc.
We were sorry that our contemporary OF the
Times, who is nearly as fierce in favor OF
Douglas rs the editor of the Democrat himself,
was not present to do justice to our miniature
representation of the Bangor convention. We
feel however that so far as our description OF
its proceedings are concerned that the Democrat
in its notice, substantially corrobentes us.
Certainly its reror, of the chief speech male on
that occasion is like our own, only o little
more extended, and excepting 1t omits to state
the slightly emphatic language used by the
speaker at the close of his forciblc rcmarks-we
do not disagree on the main points, and we
hardly know why he should find fault with
our notices of Democratic Conventions
Generally we have not found fault with his
notices of republican conventions, and SO
far as his notice ofthe one to which he alludes is
concerned, we do not remember of denying Its
general fidelity. That was q convention which
in its proceedings and its results we have
never felt especially bound to admire, and VIC
think that our neighbor considering our good
conduct in letting his comments then pass un-
challenged is rather ungracious, not to say un-
gratful.
! We can receive blows as we'll as give them
and if our neighbor has dealt one in his closing
remark which he thinks has hit, a,l we have to
say. is that the opportunity which he had to
exercise his descriptive powers was rare one,
which We cheerfully admit he well improved,
but we are quite certain that long time will
elapse before republican convention held in
this Congressional District will give him
another opportunity of exercising similar
descriptive powers.
