The first day's proceedings after die date of our last report are thus detailed by j ihe correspondent of the North American : WASHINGTON, Dec. 12, 1849. One of the most exciting and remarkable days ever witnessed in Congress, has ended with de velopments which are painful and humiliating j to record Mo mere political triuinpiT can ob- j literate the stain which attaches to its events, as no atonement on the part of the offender can restore.the inward reputation of the body which he so shamefully disgraced. it was apparent, as soon as the House con vened this morning, from the air of satisfaction j exhibited by our opponents, they were confident of victory, and held the fate of the day in their own hands. This conscious tone of power in duced the suspicion that there had been foul j play in some quarter, and much interest was ex cited as to the course of the faction holding the | balance of power. The proceedings were open- j cd by a statement from Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, ; who read from an article in the l/'nion, in which he was assailed for refusing to support the can didate of the party. He informed the Houc that bis vote eould not be influenced by any such system of dictation; but in less than an hour afterwards he succumbed, and kissed the rod which smote lum. Mr. Wilmot then rose and returned thanks to the friends who had conferred upon him the i marks of their confidence and esteem, by sup porting him as a candidate for the Speakeiship, but iie thought the time had come when it was proper for him to withdraw, and he hoped their votes would be cast in some other direction. ! This movement produced much sensation on the floor, and in the galleries, which were thronged with anxious spectators. The balloting then commenced, and every vote was watched with attention. Mr. Alien, Mr. llurkce, Mr. bid dings. Mr. P. King, and Mr. Wilmot, succes- | siveiy voted for Mr. Broivn in the order of their names. When this fact was disclosed, sever al of the southern Democrats held back, and Mr. Seddon and Mr. Bocock, of Virginia, with Gen. Wallace, of South Carolina, withdrew from the support of Mr, Brow n and voted for Mr. Boyd. When they retired, Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, came to his relief, and his vote was received with much applause, under the impression that it settled the election. It was found, however, j that Mr. Brown had received but 112 votes, be ing two short of the number necessary to a choice. At tins stage of the proceedings, Mr. Stanley proposed the appointment of a committee con sisting of three members from each of the great j parties, for the purpose of reporting officers to the House. Mr. Bayly, of Virginia, opposed the motion with considerable feeling, and expres sed the readiness of his party to proceed, with the assurance that they were able to efiect an election. Mr. Ashmun interrupted him, by in quiring whether pledges had not been given by the candidate on the other side. Mr. Ilayly promptly repelled the imputation, and denounc ed it as unworthy. Mr. Ashmun replied, tf.at there was perhaps a correspondence, as he had heard rumors to that effect. This was denied with equal positiveness by Mr. Bayly. who , seemed to treat the statement as a gross and un just reflection. Mr. Root followed in one ot his clever speeches, but wat interrupted by Mr. Baylv, who wished to withdraw the denial be had made in regard to the existence of a cor respondence, having been since informed that letters had passed between different members on the floor. Amidst much excitement, occa sioned by this admission. Mr. Brown rose to ex plain what had occurred, and to deny that any bargain had been made. It wa evident, lrom the fir-t moment of his appearance on the floor, that lie was convicted and detected in an at tempt at imposition. I lis whole manner be trayed his fears and the certainty of his expo sure. After a confused statement of his opinions in reference to slavery, he said he vva- prepared to exhibit his answer to certain inquiries which had been propounded to him by the gentleman from Pennsylvania—Mr. VVilmot. Here there was a general call ' for the letter.' After pre tending to search for Mr. Wilmot's interroga tories, he found them missing, and then called upon him to state their substance to the House before he read bis reply. Mr. VVilmot respond ed, by saying he had held a conversation with Mr. Brown in regard to his prospects for the Speakership, and among other things, it had been suggested that the support of himself and !>i friends could be obtained, upon condition that the free sentiment of the country, which had heretofore been stifled, could bave expres sion upon the Committees, by the selection of fair Northern men. To this effect he had ad dressed him a note, after receiving satisfactory assurances in his interview. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, inquired of Mr ; VVilmot, whether it was understood that in con structing the committees, a majority of North ern men should be allowed ; to which he an swend in the affirmative; when there was a general exclamation from both sides of the House. Mr. Brown resumed the floor and endeavored to extricate himself from the accumulation of embarrassments. He proceeded to read his re ply, which to organize the Commit tees on Tcrritorie* the Judiciary and the Dis trict of Columbia, satisfactorily to Mr. VVilmot and bis friends, and expressed the conviction that it was the duty of Congress to arrest the extension of slavery, wherever it had the con stitutional power. The reading of the letter in creased the confusion, and Mr. Brown sat down amidst sneers and derision from all quarters. It was now evident the tide had turned, and he who but a few hours before was the favorite of fortune, was to be discarded as an outcast. The Southern gentlemen who lia 4 voted in com pany with Mr. (Jiddings and Mr. W'ilmot, found it necessary to define tin lr positions and to justi fy themselves before their constituents. Mr. Burt said lie bad supported Mr. Brown without pledges, because he did not think an honorable man could exact them from a candidate lbr so dignified an office, nor an honotable man would consent to make them. This hit did not seem to be particularly relished by VVilmot or Brown. ; 11c had believed the gentleman, while a Xorth , ern man and holding Northern sentiments, to be conservative on the question of slavery, and not aggressive in his inclinations, and therefore had supported him. But lie would call 011 the member from Virginia, who had more informa tion on the subject, to state what he knew. Mr. Bayly said that Mr. Brown assured him he was opposed to the VVilmot Proviso. He had served with him in the 2fth < 'ongress, and believed the vote, which be then gave against the prohibition of slavery on the Oregon Bill, with lus recent assurances, formed the ground upon which he stood. Had he known of the correspondence with the member from Pennsylvania, he not on ly would never have voted for Mr. Brown, but be would have regarded it as an insult to have been asked to do so. Mr. Veriabie volunteered to state that, in a very recent conversation on this subject, Mr. Brown had expressed his decided opposition to the VVilmot Proviso in every form, thereby con firming the general pledge which had been given to the Southern members, in direct conflict with the bargain made with the free Soilcrs. Mr. Stanton. Mr. Woodward, and others ex pressed their satisfaction that gentlemen 011 the Whig side had afforded theiu the opportunity of exposing this transaction. They had lieen de ceived, and it was proper the deception should be unmasked, j Mr. McMullen, of Virginia, being called out by Mr. Evans, said that, hearing the member from Indiana had made committals on the ques tion of slavery, and desiring to be informed be fore voting, he had called upon him, when Mr. Brown distinctly denied that ho had giw.ll any wtitleri pledges 111 favor of the proviso. Mr. Thompson called for an adjournment, and alter -ome delay and confusion the motion 1 prevailed . Tliis imperfect sketch presents a bird's eye | >iew of the proceedings, and will enable the public to form some conception of the scene. it is perfectly clear that Mr. ltrown bargained with the two extremes of the House—the Free Soiler.s and IVullifiers—and that each interest thought it was outwitting the other, while it was his game to cheat both. The virtuous indigna- , tiou which was expressed after the exposure of the disgraceful facts, was very convenient to most oi' those who employed it to conceal their own participation, but it docs not remove the : criminalty, nor relieve them from the reproach of the association. Mr. Brown was adopted as the candidate, because it was notorious that he, of all men in his party, was leastscrupulous, | and best prepared to adopt any expedient that might secure success. To almost every mem ber on the floor, certainly to a majority on his own side, he was known as a person without character, social standing, or merit; a vile dem agogue, w ho, by practising the lowest arts, had i obtained parly preferment, arid who was deli cient in every instinct of decency. It may become gentlemen to justify their j votes on* the ground that they were ignorant of i certain arrangements ; but how are they to palli ate the outrage of having supported a man.for the highest place in the halls of legislation, w ho was not only destitute of every qualification, hut w hftse presence in that scat would be a lasting , disgrace to Congress? Such can neither be ex- j plained nor vindicated, it warrants the infer ence that, in supporting this individual, they adopted him who would be most serviceable to their purposes, and who had least scruple in j carrying out a political purpose. The Free Soilers, those innocent patriots who ( affected so much indignation when 1 recently charged that they were ready to make conditions for a valuable consideration, arc now displayed in their true colors, as corrupt bargainers, w hose professed principles are the political merchan dize with which they traffic. They arc now convicted of having openly coalesced with the champions of slavery, and the record shows them and the South Carolina propagandists as occupying precisely the same position. The exposure of their hypocrisy is wortii much, whatever rnav be the final result. <)n Thursday a scene took place be tween Mr. M eaijf. of Virginia and Mr. Dcer of New York—the former calling a statement made by "the latter that Mr. M. was a disuuionist false, and the latter pro nouncing the Virginian a liar. It was ai tcrwards settled in the true Pickwickian st\ le. On Friday and Saturday several ballots for speaker took place, the votes being scattered for any and every body. On Monday and Tuesday the 48th 49th. 50th and 51st ballots resulted in no choice, \V inthrop being again highest on the whig vote and Bovd of Kentucky on the loeofo co. The s'id. 5.1 d. 51th and 55th hnllotings result: d as follows : 52d 53d 54th 55th VVinthrop, Mass., whig, 95 97 97 97 Boyd, Ky., loco, GG 59 til 4i McClernand, 111., loeo, 15 18 23 23 Potter, Ohio, loco, 11 10 3 Cobb, Geo., loco, 7 8 II 10 Disney, Ohio, loco, 9 9 8 4 Morehead, Ivy., whig, 4 4 5 Julian, la., free soil, 5 7 4 Me Lane, 2 Stevens, Pa., whig, 2 Outlaw, N.

In the evening the whigs held a caucus and appointed a committee to consult with a similar one to he appointed by the loeo focos, with the view of adopting sueh mea sures for organizing the House as would he satisfactory to both parties. The loeofoeo caucus, after a warm and protracted discussion, in which much op position was maniti sted, finally appointed a committee to meet the whigs, and then adjourned. It is to be hoped that a suffi cient number of members of both parties will have sense enough to organize in some wav, and relieve the public from further anxiety respecting the message. BR*. The Ohio Senate stiil continues disor ganized, although it commenced its at tempts to organize on the. tirst Monday ot the month. The Hamilton county Senator eauses the difficulty. The Speaker pro ft'til recognizes the locoloco claimant, but the whole body of the whigs refuse to vote for Speaker under such circumstances. Destructive Fire. —Thr'W illow Bank Mill,' situated in Elizabeth township, Kan easier county, and owned by Mr. Elias Ebv, was destroyed by fire 011 the 10th instant.
