Mr.. Bland, author of the measure, Immediately
after the morning hour.
MIR. Leonard then spoke in favor of the claims
of DARRELL
Messrs. Potter and Ellis also favored the
claims of Acklin. The latter in the course of
his speech alluded to the fact that new light
was breaking in upon the negroes of the South.
that they were deserving the false god Of rad,
icalism, and predicted that in 1850 the race
would be seen voting with the Democratic
party.
Mr.. Reed-We saw it done before at the
muZZle or shot gun.
Mr.. Ellis declined to be drawn into any po-
htlcal dispute until he had finished his speech
on the election case. In the conclusion of his
speech he referred to the letter published YES
terday from Madison Wells. There could be no
better or more truthful photograph of Wells

veloped her form, and the sceptre of self-gov-
eminent was in her fearless hand. But she
would WELD it justly and her great
warm heart would not beat irrespon-
sive to the call of magnanimity or the de-
mands of mercy. Her hand was outstretched
for Cancellation, and her heart was throbbine
for peace, and if that hand were grasped and
peace given her, then, indeed, would the dream
of the fathers of the constitution be realized
of a union which they had fought for in war
and pleaded for in peace.
Messrs. Thornbury, of Tennessee and Will
iams, of Wisconsin, spoke in favor of the con-
testee, after which vote was taken on the mi
nority resolution declaring Darrall duly eject
ed, and it was rejected-yeas LIS, nays lS9, a
party vote, with the exception of Cox, of
Ohio, who voted with the Democratic majority.
The resolution declaring Acklin elected was
adopted without division. Mr.. Ackln then
appeared at the bar Of the House and was
sworn in, taking the iron-clad oath.
