Sherman not Elected.

The report of the election of Speaker
was false. Itgrew out of a hoax perpe-
trated upon the Illinois Democratic State
Convention which met at Springfield on
the 4th inst. Somebody at Washington
telegraphed to that body the election of
Sherman, and the dispatch was received
and read in the Convention. From
Springfield it went to Chicago, we sup
pose; for we read in the ST. Louis pa
pers of the 5th, that the Republican AS
ISOLATION of that city fired one hundred
guns in honor of the supposed election
Our dates from Washington are to the
9th. On that day, after much rambling
debate, the House proceeded TO vote for
Speaker, with the following result
Sherman 100, McClernand 50, BocOck
80, Quarles 10, Davis 9, the rest scatter
ing. Necessary to a choice 112.

The bill reads as follows:
Whereas. Some of our citizens seem
to fear that Slavery or involuntary seryi.
tude NAV be a fruitful source Of discord
AMI disunion in the Territory, and in or.
der that we may not have any further
agitation upon this unpleasant subject and
that the same may be forever settled
Sec. /. Therefore be II enacted By h'
Council and House of Representatives, o
the Territory of Webrdska, That Slavery
or involuntary servitude, except for the
punishment Of crime, be, and the same is
forever prohibited in this Territory.
SEC. 9. This act shall take effect and
be in force from and after the first day
Of July, 1860,
AS the above bill passed both branches
Of the Legislature after the Message OF
the President had been received at Oma-
ha, the prompt action of the Represent
atives of the people cannot be considered
otherwise than as a rebuke to, and a re-
pudiatiOn of, the "new and dangerous
doctrine" enumerated by Mr.. Buchanan.
1t shows that the Democratic party in
this Territory, are not disposed to sub
nit tamely to the dictates of any man,
and are resolved to maintain intact the
rights of the people.

Whole number of votes.

s.. . =
Every State was represented except Delaware,
South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, CAL
lfornia and Oregon. Georgia was represented
in part but refused to vote. That California
was not represented was the fault of Mai. Bid
well, who, Immediately after the adjournment of
the Convention at Charleston, returned to CAL
ifornia.
After an exciting debate in which the posi-
ton OF New York was explained, another vote
was taken, Douglas getting 1871 votes The
rest were scattering.
resolution was then unanimously adopted
declaring stephen A. Douglas as nominated ac-
cordlng to the usages of the Democratic party
and the rules of Congress by two-thirds vote.
Of course scene of wild excitement then en-
sued. A number of speeches were then made,
by John Cochrane and others, giving in ad-
herence to Douglas.
Senator Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, was then
nominated by unanimous vote for Vice Presi-
dent when, after the transaction of some other
business, the Convention adjourned sine die
P 5. By subsequent dates we learn that Gov
Fitzpatrick was induced, by the Southern press
ure, to decline the nomination for Vice Presi-
dent whereupon the National Central Commit
tee nominated Herschel V. johnson, ex-U. S.
Senator and Ex-Governor of Georgia. So that
the ticket of the regular National Democratic
Convention now stands Douglas 4 Johnson.
