Election and observation convince us more and
more Of its utility Associational efforts may
be relied upon, perhaps, as combining. greater
weight and power to sway numbers and to
excite and arouse men for the moment, and
these combinations should be kept up and
perseyered IN. but the exertion of a single
mind upon its fellow, carried on steadily and
unfinchingly, works its wonders
We are persuaded there Is by far too little
of this kind of effort carried on at the present
time. Individuals have ceased to a great ex-

at a time, to lead it to reformation andamehdr

Count Rosenberge has proposed for my

little was said of love during our courtship !;
it is not the fashion in France to marry for
love; such a piece of folly here would excite
ridicule, contempt, or sympathy, as the case
might be. Rudolph is pleased with my flu

Pack. the Defaulter.

BANGOR, Jan. At has been ascertained
by the receivers, on application to the engrav-
ers, that there is no fraudulent over-issue of
bills of the Norembega Bank. The circulation
is about $4,000. Benjamin d. Peck, State
Treasurer, was arrested yesterday upon civ
il suit by the receivers, and lodged in Jail on a
charge of conspiring with the cashier to EN-.
bczzle the funds OF the bank. The amount
taken from the bank was about $4,000, for
part of which the cashier had security on the
mill property in Canada. The amount of the
state money used by Peck, is not fully known,
supposed to be 100000 or $4,000.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The delegate from
Utah will, after an organization of the House,
present the application of that territory for adj
mission into the Union. They adopted a con-
stitution several years ago. He represents
that Utah has population of a hundred thou
sand, and that if the Mormons were allowed to
elect their officers they would be almost as
well satisfied with the territorial as with the
state organization, and probably willing to pay
the expenses OF their government besides.
Messrs, Sickles and Reynolds are the only
absent members Of the House who had not
paired off In spirit of accommodation, Mr..
Taylor paired with Mr.. Sickles. The absence
of Mr. Reynolds without pair accounts for
the change in the relative vote for Mr.. Sher-
man, who lacked but three votes Of an cleo
ton.

Mr.. Cox said he had made no such charge.
But he believed they would have united with
the Republicans, if the John Brown affair had
not occurred, for their organs, such as the
Richmond Wing and Louisville Journal, had
recommended such union.
Mr. MALLORY and the others again regret
ted this intimation and some of them would
hereafter have no respect for Mr. Cox. Mr..
Mallory added, that while some of the Repub-
licans had voted for Mr.. Gilmer, the Demo
Gratis would not touch him.
The House then agreed to take a vote for
Speaker, previous 10 which there was a call
Mr.. ScoTT declined the longer use of his
name for Speaker.
Mr. Craig of North Carolina, nominated
Mr.. Davis of Indiana.
Mr.. ENGLISH nominated Mr.. McClernand.
Mr.. BoULIGNY referred to the remarks of
MIR. Cox, understanding him to have said that
the Southern Americans had been willing to
unite with the Republicans if it had not been
for John Browns toray. For the information
of Mr.. Cox he would observe that he, Boulig-
nv, came from district in Louisiana where
he had never seen Republican i'll his life.
He never knew one till he came here. lie
had never been approached on the subject.
All Mr.. Cox had said about such an arrange
ment of the southern opposition with the Re
publicans, was utterly untrue. He also spoke
Tor the other twenty three members OF his
party.
Mr.. Cox responded that the gentleman and
others had Inexperienced his remarks. No
disclaimer was necessary. He had read in par
ty organs, the Richmond Wing and the Louis
vile Journal remarks 10 show that such an
arrangement was heretofore contemplated.
Mr.. BoULIGNY accepted the disclaimer. 1t
was all he wanted.
MIR. ETHERIDGE made a few humorous re-
marks, and voted for Horace f. Clark, whom
he characterized as an Anti-Lecompton-Bn-
