WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.
In the discussion to-day, which proceed.
ed the vote for Speaker, Mr.. Valandingham
of Ohio, said, understanding Mr.. Smith te
always have been Wing, and represented
as be (Mr. W did large and most re-
spectacle Whig element, he was ready,
whenever his vote could be efficient, to
vote for Mr.. Smith for Speaker over Mr..
Sherman. He would not in such a case
be responsible for the disorganization Of
the House, if not dissolution of the Gov
eminent. Public duty demanded the waiv-
ing of mems preference as to the candidate,
and the time when his vote would elect a
national man Speaker over Mr.. Sherman,
having arrived, he would now vote for Mr..
Smith.
Mr.. Pondeton, of Ohio, said he repre-
sented native and naturalized citizens OF
all religious beliefs, German any Irish,
Protestant and Catholics. His naturalized
constituents were honest and patriotic. He
would vote for 10 man who woald prescribe
them or whose sympathies were against
them. He bad eonversed with Mr.. Smith
aud learned from him that he had never
had any connection with the Know Moth
ing order Or sympathized with its pre- scrip
tive tenants. He therefore, 10 organize
the House on national basis, voted for
Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Cox, of Ohio, said when Mr.. Smiths
name was presented he made enquiry and
learned that he was an Old Line Wing.
His. (Cox's) colleague, Mr.. Pepdleton. had
Just been in conversation with Mr. Smith,
and reported that Mr.. Smith was not only
not a Know Nothing, but was opposed TO
the order and its principles, and that he
had never been and was not now member
of Know Nothing lodge, but had de-
nounced it. If this be true, and l say it
is, and l look Mr.. Smith, who is now pres
ent, in the eye when l assert it, there can
be no difficulty in my giving him my vote
in this emergency of the Republic, and TO
defeat the Republicans. An Old Line
Wing who is not in any way connected
with that offensive order, who stands on
the Compromise of 1850, and who, l un-
was elected oyer Slave Code
candidate, can vote for, but | would not
go out of my way to vote if | was not as
sured it would produce an Organization

or Know Nothing. l never will. do
not now; I vote for an Old Line Wing,
and such men voted to send me here. /
am the more satisfied with my vote. and
since this call the gentlemen on the other
side, members from Pennsylvania, have de-
serted Mr.. Smith after voting for him. /
nave given as reason tina: he was not
IN American. This confirms Mr.. Smiths
,wn statement TO Mr.. Pendleton and my
own statement to Mr.. Pendeton and my
OWN statement in this presence.
Heralds correspondence-The proceed
ngs in the House to-day demonstrated the
act that Mr.. Sherman cannot be elected.
Six of his friends from Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, went over to Mr.. Smith, of
Y. c., more to tantalize the Democrats,
Tot from any superstition that the latter
would concetrate upon Mr.. Smith; he be-
ng an American. But to the consterna-
ion of these gentlemen all the Democrats, |
Except Messrs. Holman and Davis, of Ind,
nd Allen, of Ohio voted for him, which |
you'd have elected him had not five of |
he Sherman men taken the back track |
nd changed their votes from Smith to
1orwin and Pennington.
They did not do so until Mr.. Sherman
ose and, recorded his vote for Corwin, ma
ing an additional vote necessary to a
hoice, which was the signal of danger.
Many of the Republicans would like to
ote for Hickman, but is evident from the
anvas of opinion tonight that Penning-
on can receive more men outside Of Sher-
lan's strength than any other man, and
he friends of Sherman will not object to
i'm if the majority of the Republicans de-
ARE for him.
Mr.. Adrain refused to vote for Mr.. Smith,
Southern Whig, because he understood
i'm to be in favor of protecting slavery in
lie Territories, but says he will vote for a
'orthern Wing like Gov. Pendleton, which
9 will probably have an opportunity of
Ding on Monday.
Mr.. Seward had public reception Mt his
sidence tonight, which was numerously
tended.
The Iribune's Washington correspond
1t of 2sth, says Mr.. Sherman has called
conference of his friends to meet at noon
day, and will withdraw if another can
} elected. He has been prepared to do
for fortnight and was only restrained
: the fact that additional votes had not
zen demonstrated upon Messrs. Penning-
n, Corwin or Morris, ns had been repeat
ly promised.
Mr.. Pennington will probably be no,nin-
ed. M
Mr.. Smith will be dropped BY the Dem
rats, and the South Americans allowed
select Democrat upon whom they can
lite. ff J
The Times correspondent says the
ances now are, that Mr.. Corwin will be /
'cted on Monday. s Q
