Dear Sir I.Fse people require that Doug

he is we'll bbosted, and will do the cause JUS

Patterson is for Douglas.
The Continued efforts of the Admnistra-
ton party for three years past to stihe the
public sentiment. and prevent the nomina-
ton of Stephen A. Douglas, and now the
baser effess to use his 100000 appointees
to Off tss defeat his election should be
made zn(~nto the people, who will every
where riss.in might, and repudiate all such
dictation.
Douglas is the choice of the people, and
the people Of Arkansas will sustain him
when they understand his popular sover-
eighty. When such low means as is resorted
to by the papers of this city, one Of which
and whose editor is an office-holder un
der Buchanan-sta:es, this week, that there
are only three Douglas men in Fort Smith.
it is time for all Douglas men to show theiI
colors.
There are known to be at least 100 men
now in this city for Doug las, and there are
at least 800 or 400 who are only waiting to
know who has the best chance TO beat Lin

asking the reason therefor. Our readers
will remember that he stated in his reply
which we published-that at that time there
was no Jewish Rabbi in Washington City, but
SO soon as an opportunity offered, he would
try and have the session opened by a minis
ter of the Jewish faith. 1t will be seen that
he has been true to his promise, and that
Rabbi Raphael had the honor of opening
the session on the day that brought order
out of the confusion that had run rampant
for the seven weeks previous. Shall we
say that Providence, in this, as in thousands
of other instances, was disposed to smile
upon his peculiar people, and bestow an ad-
ditional honor upon them through one of
their representatives .a....
The plan adopted by the House of having
their sessions opened by ministers of the
various denominations of Christians into
which their constituents are divided, is pre-
ferable to electing any one Divine as Chap
lain. A public recognition of the religious
sentiment is eminently proper, and should
be acknowledged in no sectarian spirit.

MIR. Pennington's speech.

We give the Geographic report of Mr..
Penningtons remarks when accepting the
Speakership:
Gentlemen of the House of Representa-
tives II return you my grateful acknowl-
edgm ents for the distinguished honor you
have been pleased to confer upon me- in
electing me Speaker of the House. Com
ing here for the first time at the present
session to be associated with you as a MEM
Der, no event could have been more unlock
ed for than that | should be called upon to
preside over your deliberations, and my
friends will do me the justice to say that 1
have not sought the position, as certainly
never desired it. l am, nevertheless, as
conscious of the dignity and importance of
the high Office as any gentleman can be /;
but should have been far better pleased could
| its duties have been entrusted to ADLER and
more experienced hands.
After witnessing the almost insurnount-
able obstacles IN the way of an organization
of this House, | came to the conclusion that
any gentleman, of any party, who could
command majority of the votes for Speak
er, was bound, in defense of public exigen-
cies, to accept the responsibility as an act
| of patriotic duty, whether it was agreeable
to his personal 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
be to do my duty with impartiality and jus
tice to all. ! shall have great necessity,
gentlemen, for your indulgence in the new
position in which am placed, and feel
entire confidence that l shall receive it at
your hands.
A Representative from the State of New
Jersey, upon whose soil SO many brilliant
achievements were accomplished in the Rev
dictionary War, and whose people have ever
been distinguished for their devotion to The
Union and the Constitution, I pray to the
| Crest Arbiter of our destinies that | may
do no act to impair the integrity of either,
but by wise and prudent counsels peace and
harmony may yet reign in our midst and
our free institutions may be perpetuated to
our descendants. / feel that | have q Ma
tional heart, embracing all parts of ouI
blessed Union. Again thanking you fol
| your kindness, now enter upon the dutie:
of that arduous and complicated station.

RSS@ The session of the House of Repre-
sentatives in Congress on Wednesday morn
ing was opened with an appropriate prayer
by Rabbi Raphael. The prayer is said to
have "abounded with fervently expressed,
patriotic and religious sentiments. The
Rabbi implored Divine blessings to direct
the House in the election of a Speaker who
may preside without favor or fear, and that
members might speak and act for the
glory and happiness of their common coun-
try. The most marked attention was paid
by all in the Hall to the prayer throughout
its delivery"
We believe this is the first instance since
the formation of the government, in which
Congress has paid its tribute of respect to
the faith of large and most estimable class
of their constituents. Having noticed their
oversight in not recognizing the Jewish
Religion during the last session of Congress
we addressed a letter to Hon. Schuyler Col
fax, of the Ninth Congressional District

squntter Sovereignty OdiOus to
Them.

In the proceedings of the House of Rep
resentatives, in the election of Speaker,
when Mr.. McClernand, of Illinois, was the
Democratic candidate against Mr.. Penning-
| ton--we notice that in numerous instances,
where Southern Democrats explained their
votes (which they took frequent occasion to
| do), they distinctly discIaimed all approval
of squatter sovereignty, and only voted for
Mr.. McClernand to beat the Opposition can
didate. We give few extracts from the
report of the Associated Press, to show the
feeling of the slave code advocates and
squatter sovereignty haters.
Mr.. Clark then said though disagreeing
| with Mr.. McClernand in the question of
slavery in the Territories, he voted for him
as a national man.
Mr.. Cobb also said he was opposed to
| squatter sovereignty, but he respected Mr..
McClernand for having in former years voted
against the Wilmot proviso; he was for the
country first and Mr.. McClernand next, and
he was satisfied that this would be the last
vote, to-day, for Speaker. The result was a
foregone conclusion. ~, ..
Mr.. Keitt voted for Mr.. Millson of Virgil
mia in preference to McClernand, though
the latter was the nominee of his party.
| Mr. Barksdae said he voted for that gent
leman with the assurance that if the whole
Democratic vote was given for him he might
be elected, but he desired to say in so voting
he had no intention to indorse Mr.. McCler-
hands squatter sovereignty views.
Mr.. Moore said he had the highest person,
i ii g. NJ, 49,
| with him on an important question; be-
therefore, voted for Mr.. Boyce.
Mr.. Davis, of Mississippi, had not voted
for the man, McClernand, but for the country
Mr.. Florence, of Pennsylvania, Northern
Democrat with Southern principles-Mr
Bnchanan'S spokesman in the Housed apol-
\ ogized while voting for Mr.. McClernand.
Douglas Democrats will see from these
extracts, that the favorite principle of theil
leader commands no respect, much less sup
port, from Southern Democrats. In fact
they hate squatter sovereignty worse thar
the Helper book or the Irrepressible Conflict
Yet some Douglas Democrats are so over
sanguine as to think that Douglas will b'
nominated at Charleston. Those fre-eater
will control matters there, and will not al
low Douglas to be nominated while profes
| sing that doctrine. If nominated, he vii
have to repudiate it, publicly or privately
and thus betray his friends, who support hin
in good faith.
Mr. McClernand, it will be borne in mind
is one of Mr.. Douglass warm friends ant
supporters, and one of the champions O
squatter sovereignty. Hence the particula
pains these fre-eaters took, 10 discaim al
sympathy for the principle he professed, il
order that they might stand right on tn,
record before their constituents

In these times of scarcity Of money, the
following sentiments from the Prairie Farm
or may Be- OF service TO many psrsons.-
Thousands OF or best and most generous
and warm-hearted men, are ruined BY be-
coming surety for those who have no Just
claims upon them:
l. A man has no right to endorse whom tho
failure Of the hrst party to meet HE obliga-
ton will render the creditors Of tho endorser
liable to loss 10 consequence OF such endorse
ment.
Q. He has no right to endorse for another
man unless to make provision for meeting
such obligation, independent Of and after
providing for all othsr obligations.
5. He has no right to endorse unless he
fully intends to pay what he promises TO-,
promptly, in case the FIRST party fsils to do
so. Few endorsers prepare for this.
4. His relations TO his family demand that
he shall not obiisste himself TO oblies an
other simply u the risk Of dsfrauding or
depriving them Of what belongs to them.
s. He should never endorse or become 70.
sponsible for any amount, without security
10 furnished by the frst party. Il should Be
made business transaction--rarely mat
ter Of friendship. 1t 10 equivalent TO : loan
OK capital to the amount OF the obligation.
and the Same precautions should be takea 20
secure il.
9. A man has no more right to expect an
Other TO endorse his note without recon.
pence, than 70 expect IN insurance company
TO insure his house or his life grstuitously
z. II is not good business policy Tor one 70
ask another to endorse bis note, promising
TO accommodate him in the same manner
The exchange Of signature may have, and
usually docs have, very unequal value; Il
il better TO secure him the amount, and exact
