Congress- Speaker Finally
Elected.

We are at last permitted to announce
to our readers that Speaker is elected.
Elk Governor PENSINGToN of New Jer-
sey, upon whom was concentrated the
Republican. and a suficiency of Anti-Le-
compton Democrats, and American votes,
succeeded by a vote of III to IS cast for
M'CLERNAND. Mr.. Pennington is an
Old Line Wing, but has for several years
been acting with the Republican party.
JoHN w. FoRNEY, Douglas Democrat,
and the able editor of the Philadelphia
Press, was elected Clerk.
We regard the election of these two
officers as a triumph of the conservative
feeling Of the country over the ultraists,
who seem to think their mission to be to
create and enlarge a feeling of enmity
between the different sections Of the
country. However much h%Ot-headed po-
liticians may d~enounce conservative men
and measures, they and they alone have
always been the oil poured upon troubled
waters. 1t is a source of rejoicing to the
country that such men and measures are
yet to be found in the land; and when
they cease to exist, then indeed may we
have cause to tremble for the safety and
perpetuity Of our free Republican form of
government.
We may now look for Congress to go
to work and do something for the u
try! The gas has. been pretty much used
up within the past eight weeks.

Delegates to the constitutional .
Convention.

The Convention which met in this place
on Saturday last presents the names of
T. w. Upton and DR.. Mcpherson of this
city, d. c. Sanders Of Nemaha City pre-
clint, s. A. Chambers Of Peru precint,
and ]. d. N. Thompson Of Longs pre-
cinct.
We were prevented by other engage
ments from Witnessing the deliberations
Of the Convention +; but are informed that
it was well attended by persons from ev-
cry section of the county, and that Its
proceedings were characterized bymode-
ration, yet frmness and determination in
reference to the rights and interests of
the people. From u personal knowledge
ofthe character and number Of citizens
from all parts of the county we met on
the street that day, we have no hesitancy
in indorsing the representation.
The gentlemen whose m are pre-
scented are too well known TO require any
commenda,ion, or suffer from condemna-
ton; they are from the ranks of our most
reliable, substantial, and intelligent citiz-
ems. Messrs. Upton, Chambers and
Thompson possess a gOOdly amount of le-
gislatiye experience; and DR.. McPher-
son and Judge Sanders are unsurpassed
as. sound practical business men.
Four Oh; of the five of the above NAM
ed gentlemen were "born and bred"
Democrats-neyer voted any other kind
of a ticket when party lines were drawn;
but recreancy to professed party princi-
pies has driven them to seek other party
affiliations. If Nemaha County is made
~irredeemabIy Republican, Opposition,
Unicn, or by whatever name it may be
called in the future, such a result can on
ly be attributable to the no-Congress-
Legislatur e-or-human-pOwe doctrine Of
MI. Buchanan, and the ''soft delusion"
ukase o.. Gov. Black.

MIR. Douglas and the DisuniOnists.

So soon as Mr.. Douglas had sufficient
ly recovered his health as to appear in
his seat in the Senate, he was bounced
upon simultaneously by Davis, Clay,
Green, Mason, and all others of that
stripe, who are for his humiliation and
the dissolution of the Union. He how
ever, pinned them all to the wall. We
would like to lay before our readers the
entire debate, but it is too lengthyfor our
columns. We make a few short extracts
from Mr.. Douglas remarks TO show what
he always held and yet holds to be the
power of a Territorial Legislature over
the subject of slavery.
Mr.. Davis, in course of debate, charg-
ed Mr.. Douglas with having changed his
opinions or positions as to the power of a
Territorial Legislature. Mr.. Douglas
replied:
"When the time comes for discussing
1t, will show that at that period. on the
very night the Kansas-N ebraska bill was
passed, | stated that the sole object of
the repeal of the Missouri restriction vas
that the people of the Territory might
introduce or exclude slavery through the
Territorial Legislature while a Territory
as well as after they became a State and
no man who heard me then can have an
for not knowing that ! held the
Territorial Legislature, in the Terrific
rial capacity, could do it. The record IN
the Globe will sustain me.

STATE FINANCES AND ENTERPRISES,

To m. Editor Of ThsN J. Tribun:
SIN. have TO thank The TRIBUNE for its OCCASIONAL
attention to State interests Justly say on Mon
dsv the taxes must not be allowed 10 increase be-
yord those Of last year "a mills on the dolisr)i
nor need they be increased Present prospects are,
that the billor tollng railroads will pass to the greas
relief of the financial embarrsssmens oil the ota'e
DO not quite like the proposition to toll the Ere OF e&
empt the Oswego and Syracuse; but still, nave
strong hopes that the bill ordered 10 third reading In
the Senate will speedily pass both Houses see tna1
light has broken in one of the dark places in the state,
and that even newspaper in Albany has gwen some
pretty good reasons why the bill may be passed Fol-
lowed by the proper policy, this measure may provide
for half tbree-quarers of the deficit Of abont two
millions year of the two last years. The sums re-
ceyed directly from the railroads will not DO sufficient,
but REIMBURSEMENT of canal tolls may be made to swell
the revenues of the next year considerable amount
Our true policy is plain one; the large canal debt
must be paid by tolls not taxes If paid by taxes it
furnishes foundation (snd pretty good one, must
admit for such claims pressed in behalf of the
Albany and Susquehanna Railroad, and Of them there
will be no end. The State at large will be punished
severely for its injustice in promoting and continuing
policy which constructs ensrges lateral canal
by direct taxation. This policy must be changed as
soon as possible.
think the party journals who are advocating the
payment of the Canal Debt by taxes rather than tolls
will find ther mistake by the next election If not sooner
am by no means certain but that the Chenang
Genial should be extended and connected with th'
Pennsylvania Canals, and my chief objection to the
commencement Of the enterprise arises from the ma
by of the State to commence and prosecute to eom-
pletion, any Improvement without paying twice or
thrice what the work should cost. We want settle
ment in full with present contractors and engineers be-
fore we can economically engage in any new work.
1t may be found good policy to engthen the locks OF
the Erie but that work can be deferred until State
finances are in better condition.
II, as the State Engineer reports the Erie Canal
may be given seven feet depth Of water a, an ex-
"pen,e of f25 O0O," and railroad tolls shall be i'm
posed at the present session. the State may emerge
from her long-continued disgraceful financial embar-
basement. r
