MIR, Corwin,s Speech.

On Monday and Tuesday of last week Hon.
Thomas Corwin of Ohio, made in the House OF
Representatives. an elaborate speech which is
said to have been equal to any OF his former
efforts. The general character of the speech
may be inferred from the following:
Westand with the fathers Of the republic
and the Constitution, and whatever may be the
opinions oftliis day We should not be accused
OF treason, while VIC adopt doctrines OF JcIicr-
son, Adams and Munroc. II we were wrong,
these old gentlemen were wrong; and II we are
right, then the democratic party are wrong
lie wished to present n question of logic. IL
was said that Mr.. Seward, being the head and
leader Of the republican party, had proclaimed
ut Rochester, that there must be some conflict
between tree and slave labor, and that, in con-
sequence of that declaration John Brown
had determined to murder somebody Mt Ilar-
pcr's Ferry. Did the gents suppose Oh II John
drown hal not read Jcilerson's Notes on Vir-
cinia, and the remarks Of Washington, that he
would render cordial cooperation To the aboli-
ton Of slavery throughout the countryl Did
they suppose he hal not seen the debates of the
Virginia Convention, In which II was said that
slavery was an enormous evil and that unless
abolished, IL would advance steadily, step by
step, until Il would be NJ fatal rs death. Did
they suppose Brown had not read all these
things, and ponderel them In his mountain sol.

over theml II was there this enterprise enter,

The Contest Ended.
A Republican Speaker Elected.

The long contest is over. On Wednesday, cx-
Governor Pennington, of New Jersey, was
elected Speaker of the United States House OF
representatives. The vote stood Pennington

number $50, necessary toa choice ll6. Mr..
Pennington took the chair and the oath was
administered by Mr.. Phelps. In relation to
the proceedings since our last we have only
room to say that on Friday last the entire holy
ofthe Democratic party voted for Mr.. Smith OF
n. C. a South American, and at one time during
the ballot he was elected, but before the result
was declared several members changed their
votes, and he failed fan election by three votes.
On Monday Mr.. Sherman gracefully Withdrew,
and nominated Mr.. Pennington republican
from New Jersey, and the entire republican
vote was given to him-together with several
Anti Lccompton Democrats. On Wednesday he
was elected. We believe that notwithstanding
the threats ofthe Disunion Democracy to sever
the Union If republican Speaker was elected,
the Union still stands.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Dramatic Performances.

On Wednesday our city was honored with o
delegate convention of the united Democracy
of this Congressional district. The special OBJ
ject of the meeting was the choice Of two dele
gates 10 attend that Convention which meets in
Charleston s. c., in April, to select Prcsiden.
tai candidate for the disunion Democracy, and
whose. further mission is 10 bury, without the
honols Of war, in an ignominious grave, popu-
lar sovereignty, and its great champion, Steph-
en- A. Douglass. The meeting was an interest
ing one, occasionally dramatic, afior,ling an
entertainment similar, though not so extensive,
to that which came of in Bangor, last summer,
when the Democracy of the State, selected State
delegates to represent them at Charleston.
Tho delegates, little more than hundred,
strong, met in Union Hall, the platform of
which was appropriately decorated with scenic
representations and theatrical curtains, SYM
boliling tho character of the performances
which the convention was expected by those be-
hind the scenes to perform, and the work to be
done by the stage players through the day

peared, served as curtain for the occasion.

- Several days since Senator Douglas tool
occasion, in the United States Senate, to make
n bid for Southern support for the Presidency
under the guise of speech OH his proposed
measure for protecting the slavcholding States
from invasion. In the course OF his speech,
which was rehash of his old ideas about the
necessity ofa diversity Of domestic institutions
in the several States of the Union-he charged
the Republican party with being the authors of
the Brown raid ON Virginia. This malign at
tempt of the be,rayer Of freedom was met by
Senator Fessenden of our State, in the outset, in
reply which is said to have been uncommonly
able and effective. The special correspondent
ofthe N. Y. Tribune, under date OF Jan. %,
referring to MIR. F.'s reply, says;
Mr.. Fessenden replied To Dougla, with ex-
traordinary pungcncy. and power. Some Of
his points piercel the joints Ofhis armor, and
touched the quick, causing him To writhe upon
the trcnchant weapon ofthe Republican Scna-
tor. For example,: Fessendcn expressed sur
prise that Douglas, in his project of n law to
break up conspiracics against the Government,
had made no provision for the threatened con-
tcngency of an attempt TO oyerturn the Consti-
means, Of n Republican President. Douglas
was imprudent enough 10 reply that the utter
absurdity of surprising that any candidate Of
that party could be elected, made II wholly
unnecessary To guard against the consequences
of such an impossible event Like flash of
lightning, Fessendcn scaihcd him with the re-
tort that the carnestness with which masses
of men, fully equal to the Senator in. capacity
to Judge of probabilities, predicted that event,
and threatened to thwart 1t by disunion, would
seem to imply that he was in error, and over
sanguinc in regard to this part Of the pending
Presidential programme, rs he might also be
In respect to the part which he himselfwls des-
tined to play In that programme. The hit was
so palpable, and the blow dealt with such pro-
yoking GOODNESS, that Douglas lost his temper,
and tried to be severe in reply, but was only
abusive, showing that the arrow had reached u
vital part and stuck fast.
1t isnot believed that Douglas has improved
his chances for nomination by this raid OF the
free spirit Of the country. Ills only hope was
in maintaining LOFTY position of Independence.

Correspondence of Union and Journal.

In olden time when the esquire" was the
biggest man in the village, and looked upon by
his neighbors as the illustration of dignity and
the incarnation of wisdom-when no project
was regarded good for any thing unless emanat-
ing from or sanctioned by him-Nhen he settled
hood, when his glance was destiny and his fiat,
fate-when he gave tone to society and direc-
ton to public opinion by virtue of his
commission bearing the broad seal of the State,
he moved with awful majesty among his lowly
ftlows-when his nod of recognition was worth
q silver shilling, and the shake of his hand
equivalent to certificate OF good moral char
acter; it was q great thing to be a JUSTICE or
TIE PEACE. But times and customs change

Council authorize to minister at ths affairs of
