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,

and was warmly greeted by the members.
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.

tency for old age. The question then arises,
what is true economy ? In the exercise of ccon
! omy it is essential to have good judgment—a cor
rect notion of matters and things. Every indi
vidual has in the courseof a life time to purchase
a large amount of goods, even if for his or her
own support, merely. It will, in the course of
years, amount to a considerable sum. Then the
way to practice economy in this respect is to
buy for CASH, as it is very dangerous to go in
debt, particularly with the storekeepers. Buy
for CASH, and buy always GOOD GOODS, and at the
lowest prices , ami to enable the public to get
goods of every grade and quality, at the lowest
possible prices that they can be sold over the
| cn-t of manufacturing, C. L. JONES IS conduct
ing a large establishment on the CASH SYSTEM,
and his business has now grown to such an enor
mous extent that he buys nearly all
directly of the importers and manufacturers for
cash, and sells them at the smallest considerable
profits, and in this way lie is enabled to eil his
goods at least TWENTY PAR CENT, lower than ail
other merchants. Let any one make a calcula
tion of the amount of goods they would proha
bly buy in one year, and they will find that 20
percent, or one-lifth of the amount would be a
considerable item. Let this run on for some
years, and they will have a sum saved in amount
of no little consequence.
It is now admitted by all other merchants, as
well as by the public generally, that C. L. JONES
has the largest and best selected stock of goods
ever shown before ia Lcwistown, and that he
can undoubtedly buy goods cheaper than any
other merchant—his business being so large and
purchasing in such immense quantities.
Country persons visiting Lewistown to pur
chase goods for CASH will soon be convinced of
the foregoing facts, by calling at the Celebrated
AVic Cheap Cash Store of C. L. JONES, and in pro
portion to the population of this country with
(J*- t Britain, the amount cf savings mi'iffit be
quite equal, and probably greatly exceed the
1 estimate made.
