Congress,

The proceedings of Congress during the
week past have been of much interest, and a
speaker has been in sight since Friday
OF last week. On that day the South Amer
leans and the Democracy united on Mr..
Smith of North Carolina, having previous
ly and privately procured a few Repub-
licans to cast complimentary" vote for
the same man.
The South voted for Smith in solid col
umn, and then commenced the whipping
in of the northern democrats who fell in of
course, as they are ever ready 10 do the
bidding of their Southern masters. BY
this means Smith once had votes enough to
elect him, but before the vote was announced
those Republicans from Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, who had voted for Smith, with
drew and thus spoilt the game. Smith had
1l2, Sherman LOG, Scattering 10. The
House adjourned and Mr.. Sherman called
caucus of the Republicans, at which he
proposed to decline if it was possible for the
Republicans to get more votes for any other
man. They made no nomination, but on
Monday when the roll was called, Charles
Adams lead off for Mr.. Pennington of New
Jersey, and the entire body of the Repub-
licans followed. There we're three ballots,
MIR. Pennington and Mr.. Smith having the
same number of votes each time, thus:
Mr.. Pennington, Republican, lis
Mr.. Smith, all sorts, 1l2

The Republicans therefore lacked two
votes of a majority.
On Tuesday they lacked but one. The
democrats broke again and went over to Mr..
McClernand Of Illinois, thus:
Mr.. Pennington, 1l6
Mr.. McClernand, 81
Scattering, 26
The Republicans desired another vote,
but the democracy didn't, and the House
adjourned.

they were mistaken, they didn'nt go!
Upon another time, one Henry a. Wise,
made a pre- lotion that this glorious Union,
under certain circumstances, would be dis
solved, separated, broken in pieces, and
would become defunctl The prediction of
Wise, if any reliance can lie placed upon
reports, seems to be received with more IA.
vor loh North and South, than was the
prediction Of Miller The time appointed
by Wise for this terrible this unprecedent-
ed day of retrbution will arrive, it is APP
proaching-it is so near at hand that we
can smell the smoke thereof affair Off Wise
and his adherents are preparing TO step out !;
they are going to leave the Union; they
have had enough of it. But, poor fellows,
where are they going? Up with the Mil
lerites or down with the other sort of folks !
Like the millerites, when the day comes
their political fanatics will find themselves
disappointed. They are good at Boosting,
excellent in making threats; they equal the
to,oR paH3,er, who threatened to 'leare the
poor house unless the overseer allowed them
whiskey instead of cider with their meals =
They threaten as severely as did the French
man, who was accused of showing the white
feather at the same battle where Gen.
Pierce tainted ''By gar, you call me one
cor-herd, one, two, tree several time once
more, and will call YOU Won watch house,
and blow out your brains Ike one candle,
Sar"
The noisy abohtionists here at the North
and the fire-eating .tandtics of the South,
are as much alike as are candles run in the
same mould, and perhaps it is our duty to
pity them for their ignorance, instead of
laughing at their folly. When this Union
was formed it was made perpetual-and it
will last for all time. The founders of our
glorious Republic provided for its perpetui-
ty, but they made "narry provision" for
its dissolution. The great ado made about
John Brown, Mr.. Helper, and the dissolu-
ton, is nothing more than the periodical
monomania which seems to get into heads
where the brains are few and scattered; it
is the regular democratic president-making
disease which is sure to attack certain peo-
pie about the time new executive of the
nation is to be nominated. Ever since the
democracy have existed, whenever they
have found themselves in tight place, they
have predicted that unless they were allow
ed to have things their own way something
awful would happen and the Union would
be dissolved. The old National Ark, how
ever is still afloat-and Notwithstanding the
threatening clouds which hang over her, will
we trust float on in safety until she reaches
the port of UNIVERSAL FREEDOM.
