On Friday night last, about midnight, (a very appropriate time truly to chauntlho funer al requiem over defunct federalism,) the ahtima sonic federal abolition “oil and water” Convention at Harrisburg, after three days powHvowing on the subject, in an almost fruitless endeavor to re concile conflicting opinions,'nominated Gen. Harr rison for the Presidency by a vote of 148 out of £54 delegates in attendance. The next day, after much difficulty, likewise, they nominated Gov. Tyler of Virginia, for the Vice Presidency. The federalists, then, have at length succeeded in placing their nags on the .coursp for the next Novambcr hcatsi in opposition to-Mr, Van Buren and whoever else may be the candidate of the de mocratic party for the Vico Presidency. We are glad of this as their “availahlos” are now kno,wn, and their principles will bo.open to exposure.—» Heretofore po one could tell which of .‘the many expectants would receive the nominations. Now they are known, and we.promise them on behalf of the democratic party, that from now till - the c lection they will have to be kept constantly under whip and spur.if.they expect-to keep within sight of their republican competitors.

Cam eron die. The Judge liberated the prisoner on the positive testimony of three respectable physicians thaat he would recover; but he made the bail $12,500, a sum much larger,, it is said, than has ■ever beEm6quired here to secure the majest}' of the law. The testimony before the Court was clear that no offence whatever _w.ia_.given before the pistol was fired, and no one believes that any, was intended.” . ; Owing to the extraordinary statu of mfairs at "Washington in consequence of federal fraud and villainy, the President’s Message has not yet been delivered, nor is it known with any'certainty' when it will be.

Friday the CthinsUr ■ FEDERAL FRAUD—ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE, ■ The attempt to force five federalists of New Jersey into Congress contrary td tho expressed .wishes of the people of flint Stntc, is one of the most infamous attacks upon the purity of fliejolec tivo franchise that has over beerilcorainiltod in this country—not oven excepting the usurpation at tempted to he carried into effect last winter at Har risburg Gov. Pennington and his counsellors have not only set the will ‘of the people of their own State at defiance, against reason, truth and justice; but, by reason of the nice balancing of parties in the House of Representatives, have star ted the boldergamo of trampling under foot flip rights of the people of the whole Union... Notwithstanding its greater enormity, the New Jersey fraud still boars a strong .resemblance to the villainous conspiracy of-Stoyens,, Burrowes & Pcnroso. In the ono ease, in order to carry out their schemes of villainy, tiio conspirltora sought to introduce eight members, of the House and two Senators, who wore clearly defeated by more than five hundred majority of ,tho popular vote. Had they succeeded in their bold schemes, this step would have procured them the control of both branches of tlio Legislature; and they would have went on in their career of infamy to pass snob laws ns would have suited their purpose—perhaps they would have had the hardihood even to have prevented the inauguration of Goy. Porter, whom flic dclnocrals had elected shortly before by over ten thousand majority. This would have been done and much more, but still it.would only liave been an outrage against the rights of.tlio people of a single State. But the scheme concocted by Gov. Pennington and his federal compeers in iniquity takes a wider range,'and was designed to have a vastly greater effect than the Pennsylvania conspiracy. The five Democratic candidates were clearly elected by an average majority of 138 votes. This is not denied by the Governor; but ho bolsters up his scheme to get the minority candidates into the seats because two county clerks wickedly and mar liciously held back the returns from one or two townships. This flimsy pretext of the. Governor falls to the ground, when it is a well known fact tliat tlie law of New Jersey requires the Executive, in case any-fetarns are held back, to despatch a special messenger forthwith to procure them. Tins then is the bold and desperate scheme a dopted*by the federalists of a neighboring State, to 1 force men having no clahpundcr the sun into Congress, and 1 secure a: temporary majority in the House of'Rcpresentalives—and thus defeat the wlioleadfne reforms which' will again be recom-. mended Van Buren, and which were contemplated by of the entire .confeder acy when, they elected the members of the twenty iixth Congress. ’ Such is tho history in few words of the basest outrage ever attempted in the history of free governments—worse by four fold than the famous conspiracy of Cataline against4.be liberties-. .of Jlome. That our.readers may perceive the data upon which wc base ourrepnarlcs, we. refer them to the certificate of the Secretary of State of. New Jersey which was forwarded to the Clerk of the House of Representatives at Washington* and fi led in liisofticc before the Governor’s scheme of" villainy was concocted, and before the Governor, had granted commissions to the five minority mem bers.

Sanderson. & Cornman. Gentlemen. —The House of Representa tive's cannot, ns yet, be said to exist in an organized form. It is true that the Hon. John Q. Adams has been appointed tempo rary chairman of the assemblage of members elect, and that the rules of the former House have been adopteii; but we look for a warm and protracted, debate before, any stop can be taken towards (he election of Speaker. “On Friday morning Mr. Adams took the Chair, and niost unfortunately (I mean for himself and his party) announced his deter mination to have (lie names of the Whig claimants from New Jersey priced upon the roll to the exclusion'of the members return ed by a majority of the people. From this decision an appeal was taken by Mr. Van derpoul of New York, and tellers being ap pointed, Mr. Adams stated that the Whig candidates from. New Jersey, (contrary to every principle of justice) .should be permit ted to vote in their otyn case. The friends of the administration maintained that urtder the rules of the House'and the liAvs of the land,, bolir sets of cTailiTanfs. should stand back until the dispute was dertermined, and that both should be excluded from any par ticipation in the election of Speaker. . The' debate on this question was continued until Saturday evening Vith much zeal and abili ty, when the House adjourned over until Monday. ' “Mr. Jones of Va., an unwavering demo crat, wi|J, in .all probability, be elected Speaker—even allowing the whole N. Jer. sey and Georgia delegations to the opposi tion.

Mr. Benton submitted several resolutions, observing that it would be as well to com municate them as' an initiatory step to pro cure information for subsequent legislative action, viz: A resolution, i;o The United States to cause, to be'laid before the'Senate copies of records and all the pro ceedings of thbCaurt-of Inquiry ..and of the Court Martial held in St. Louis on Lieut. Colonel Brant, and a copy of his resignation; and the papers connected therewith. Also, a resolution calling for the names of all the banks in the United States which may have stopped payment during the suspension of 1.859, also.those that did not stop, also the banks that have refused to pay the Gov ernment in specie when demanded, with all the circumstances of such failure, and the correspondence to which it led; also whether any of .the Departments have information or have, cause to believe that any of the Govern ment creditors have, been paid in depreciat ed currency since the .general resumption of 1838. iL •, • .

This resolution was before the House with bdiers’Shrihgthc dayt\ Mr. Wisc said tbc resolution,- for one. Very .truly, yours.” the President of I lies tin; wpuld satisfy him. Ho had qflfered it not ns his.own,-but as the resolution, of an elder member not now in his place—Mr. Bolts; • Mr. Rives said, he could see np objection »to the proposition of Ids' colleague, and he was delighted with it: He could wish itwas adopted with some little modification. , Mr Hoffman contended that but one course should be pursed, and that was the course pointed out by law.' 'Mr. Graves, ofKy. offered a resolution ns a, substitute to the one offered by Mr Wise. His resolution was; that tho acting Clerk of the House b a directed to read the roll of the names of the members whose election had been certified to by the proper authorities. Mr. Craig, of Va., lollowed in the debate. He regretted, he said, that the member from Kentucky had spoken ns strongly as he had, for in a body like the Mouse ol Representa tives it was desirable that as little party feel ing as possible should be manifested, Mr. Craig proceeded to discuss the claims of the five claimants with cAlmness, and asked why those members who had not the nominal ma jority of votes were not returned? Why, he wished to know, were the. votes of Millville and Amboy not included in the, general re turns? Mr. Randolph, of N. Jersey, said he could give the reason. The votes of Amboy and Millville were not allowed for two reasons. They were, that (he returns were not legal- 1 ly certified to by the judges of election, and especially for the better reason, (hat returns notoriously illegal were cast, and aliens, in violation of the Cunltitution, were allowed to vote. Mr.. Wise appealed to members not to lose sight of the question before the House. An examination of the claims of members could do no good now. Mi- Pickens, of S. C., followed Mr Craig. He was-prepared to meet any issue, and do his duty to Ids country. " As for the threats made in the House and out of the House, he IcqcJv-nolhing of them and cared less. He was in favor of the motion of the member from Virginia, Mr. Wise. He considered it reasonable, and the only proposition which would lead to an organization of the House. Mr. Pickens said he had confidence in the Clerk, and did not .believe he would play any miserable trick. He wished, he said, that-thc. gentlemen here would act in confi dence, and nothing doubting.. As for State " sovereignty, of which somuclihad been said. Ids ofjinion was that it rested not in a Gov ernor oru Council, or State Officers, .or in a seal, but in the People; That was Ids no tion, Mr. P. said that the'llouse alone was the tribunal to decide the dispu ed election if there was one. For himself, he should scorn Jo present his credentials upon the Clerk’s table unless the House demanded it at Ids hands. . Mr. Barnard, of N. Y. followed in (he de bate. Mr. B. entered'hiomewhat fully'into the <)iscussion of (be subject. - Mr. Cooper, a new member from Georgia, followed Mr. Barnard. He believed that the members with the certificates were as much entillcd-tb-thcirteats as he was. _ Mjf. Wise followed and defended his re solution offered at the opetdng of the House. He was willing, he said, to trust to the hon ors of (he gentlemen of.the House, and did not believe they would abuse the Resolution if it was adopted. After some further remarks, however, Mr Wise at the suggestion of MrS.tanley, with drew his resolution. The question then recurred 'on a rcsolu • tion offered by Mr. Hunt, and which is as follows: Resolved, That this House will now pro ceed to elect a temporary Speaker, allowing the members from New Jersey (producing the. evidence given-according-to the law of that State) to vote on the question. That the Speaker thus chosen shall appoint none of the Committees of the House. That the Committee of Elections, shall be chosen by ballot'. And that, after the question on the disputed-seats shall have been settled by tl\e House, we will then proceed to choose a Speaker for the 26th Congress. Mr. Hunt made some remarks in support of his proposition. =■ . Mr. Underwood followed in an argument in support of the proposition of Mr. Wise as the only practicable mode which.appcared to present itself of extricating the House from the perplexity in which it luurbeen involved by the act of the Clerk. He concluded by saying that he hoped that by the hour of meeting to-morrow members would-be bet ter-preparodto-vote-on-the-questionjandhe’ therefore now moved an adjournment. The Clerk stated the motion, but, bqfore putting the question upon it to the members, took occasion to retract the opinion hereto fore advanced by him, that rib vote on any question can be taken, until a quorum of members is recognised. Less than a quo rum may adjourn'fronv day-to-day-,-under the Constitution; but in his (the Clerk’s,) o piriion no other business can be done with out a quorum. . The adjournment was carried by the voice of a majority of members, and the House rose as quietly as it ever does in the most tranquil days of the longest sessions. IN SENATE.

Mr. Garland (the Clerk), made an expla nation of what he conceived to be his duty, in the position in which he found himself, and of the course that he had found it ne cessary to pursue. He did not think that he had a right to put any other question than the question of-adjournment. He consider ed himself as sitting (here simply the Clerk of the House, and-not as its Chairman.

Liverpool-arrived out oh the 6th of November, carrying, ns our readers are a ware, the news ot the suspension of the Philadelphia Banks. ■ The effect at first was bad; Cotton.Teil a.halfpenny, but upon the subsequent arrivals of the New York Pack ets, bringing the news of the stand taken, and kept by the New York-and Boston Ranks, it rallied again, and at the time of the departure of the Liverpool was quoted one eighth of a penny higher than when the Queen left; and on sulne descriptions a' shade more. The check to confidence lasted only a week, and for the week proceeding the sai ling of the Liverpool, there was an increased amount of business done, with an improving market. ■ . V The corn‘market was well supplied;- and the avei age price of wheat had suiik so much that the duty had risen to 18s; Bd.—equal to a prohibition. American sweet flour was quoted 40, to 435. ' The Muncy Market had undergone a fa vorable change, since the arrival out of the v Quebec, confirming,the accounts carried out by the United States, anil South America, that, notwithstanding cvcky effort had been made to induce the "Banks of New York to recede from their proud stand', they, with the Btjnks of Boston-still continue to pay specie. "With other good indications, the news had. the effect to raise consols frouiJ)() to 90 1-2. The. hews by the Garrick, which vessel ar rived at Liverpool on the’l 3th, would doubt less coiltinue and increase the-favorable as pect of the money markef. The Imogenc frigate hud arrived from the Pacific .with .$3,700,000,-and advices hud been received of the shipment of 81,100,000 from Mexico. As we remarked before, the fate of interest was nut to bgincreased, and as to the "bog bears-of one pound notes, ,and the "suspen sion of the Bank of England,” no such things are mentioned, directly or indirecllv. American—Securities, were -perfectly un saleable. United Slates~Bank' fell from £l9, as quoted by the Queen, to £l7, and latterly ti £l-l 10s., which was the last quo tation. There wipe no sales at these rates, which were’ merely nominal. A check is given to the realization of nioneyvon Ameri can securities fop a long time to come. The Times says that the stoppage of Biddle & Co. and his dependent. Banks will prevent mis chief anil he productive of good, as it will effectually stay’ the “drunkcnncss s, 'ftr -this rowed foreign capital. - There is some sense in this bitter dose. The marriage of Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg is as confidently spoken of as ever. He lias left England, to return, it is said, in March. It is all amusing circumstance that on the very day he left for the Continent, Prince George of Cambridge, tlie once sup posed favorite of Victoria, alid tijjy’fuvorite of the people, returned to Englaud-frmn his tour. There may yet he a slip between the cup and Prince Albert’s lips. Friday, Dec. (5. Some serious riots bad occurred at New port, in South Wales.
