INTELLIGENCER & LANCASTERIAN. GEO. SANDERSON, EDITOR. A SANDER S ON, Associate. LANCASTER, PA., FEBRUARY 12, 1856 CIRCULATION, 2000 COPIES I FOR PRESIDENT, JAMES BUCHANAN. (Sutoect to the decision of Mc Democratic National Cbnvention.) The Municipal Election The election in this City, on Tuesday last, resulted in the almost entire prostration of the Know-Nothing party. We carried our can didate Tor Mayor, Mr. ZIMMERMAN, by a major ity of 206 votes, three of the five Select Council, and thirteen of the fifteen Common Council, which gives the Democrats a large majority on joint ballot ; we also elected one Alderman, three Assessors, three Judges, three Inspec tors and two Constables—thus reversing the whole order of things as they have existed here for the last twelve montlis. Had the vote been larger, our victory would have been still more complete and overwhelm ing ; but the extreme severity of the weather kept many of our voters from the polls. As it is, however, our Democratic friends did a good day's work. The Know-Nothings are now prostrated in the city of Lancaster, and here after we shall have no trouble with them. In redeeming the City from the dominion of the Nicht Wissers we had the hearty co-operation and aid of a number of patriotic Whigs, who came .forward boldly and fearlessly to assist in defeating the unscrupulous enemy. These gentlemen deserve the gratitude of our Demo cratic friends--and we trust that hereafter they will be found in the Democratic ranks fighting shoulder to shoulder with us in opposition to intolerance, proscription, black republicanism, and every other ism that has cursed our country for the last two years. A Foul Slanderer: "By far the majority of that party, [the Demotraticj made up as it [the Democratic party] is of the very dregs of society, frequent ing the purlieus of the City ; drunk and reel ing under the influence of the liquor furnished by their corrupt leaders, having nothing to lose either in property, character or morals-1 are very naturally indifferent of that which every good citizen aims at to accomplish, i. e., the prosperity of the City.", We have clipped the above precious iaor ceau, and italicised certain portions of it, from the Register & Citizen, the Kno,w-Nothing or gan of this city—nominally edited by a con temptible Jackanapes in the shape of a man, whose brains, if he ever had any,. have all oozed out of the luxuriant crop of hair about his chin. This is the silly creature made use of by the leading Knowiiothings of the city to do their dirty work, and stand godfather to their abominable monstrosities—and this mis erable abortion of a man is now employed in bespattering the Democracy of the city with the foetid effluvia that is emitted from the dead carcase of Know-Nothingism. The Democratic party "made up of the `dregs of society," forsooth—at least this con temptible nincompoop is made to say so by the unprincipled, corrupt and decayed politi cians who-control his filthy columns. What think you of this, fellow Democrats ? Are you to be thus slandered and vilified by a scurvy fellow who—because he sports a goatee (a libel on the long-bearded animal which he seeks to imitate:) dresses like a dandy, and occasionally carries a cane—affects to turn up his nose at the hard-working, honest and in dustrious mechanics and laboring men of our city, and stigmatizes them as the dregs of so ciety! Such a follow deserves a scoring ; but in pity we forbear. His vile conduct, in thus li beling his fellow citizens by wholesale, will sink him so low in the estimation of every de cent man in the community, that the finger of scorn will be pointed at him wherever he goes. All Gammon The Inland Daily, of Friday, tries hard to create the impression that there was a mis take in the returns of the election in the N. E. Ward, and gives a table purporting to be a re count of the votes—according to which Mayor Albright's majority over Mr. Zimmerman is 25, instead of 6: Now this, it is scarcely necessary to Say, is all fudge ! 'Tis true ere was a fraud discovered, that had been perpetrated by some unprincipled scoundrel belonging to the Know- Nothings, by which ten Zimmerman tickets were abstracted after the first and regular count, and ten Albright tickets put in their place ; but so convinced of this were two of the election officers, one a Democrat and the other a Know-Nothing, that they refused to sign the second count—and here thp matter dropped. The Inland Daily's Know-Nothing proclivi ties should not lead it so far as to attempt to mislead the public mind in the way it has done. I=2l On Friday a dispatch from Washington in formed us that Col. JOHN W. FORNEY was lying dangerously ill of inflammation of the bowels ; and on Saturday, a similar dispatch announ ces that Gen. CASs fell on the steps of the Pat ent Office, and was seriously injured. We trust that both these reports were exaggerated, and that the Nation will be spared the loss of these eminent citizens. We have learned that Gen. Cass is improv ing—and it also hoped that Col. FORNEY is better, from the fact that no additional dis patch is received concerning hitt. 1/E3—'We have received a° copy of the Address delivered at the Anniversary of the Earl Union Lyceum at Hinklet4wn, on the 26th ult., by our young friend W. Seeger Darrow—and shall take pleasure in publishing it, at the re quest of the Lyceum, as soon as we can find room, which will be it, the course of a week or two. The crowded state of our columns with new advertisements, cramps us very much just now. We shall have more "elbow room" shortly. Ser The 'Grand Jury of Susquehanna county last week ignored the bill of indictment for libel preferred against Mr. Chase, the Ed itor of the Montrose Democrat, by Judge Wil mot. Served the prosecutor right. If Editors are to be prosecuted and convicted for telling the truth about public men, there is an end to the boasted freedom of the press in this repub lican country of our's. ..John B. Beck, Esq., of Lycoming co„ has been admitted to a seat in the Legisla ture—having ousted John 0. ➢'Ghee, the Know-Nothing occupant, on account of ille gality in the election. A Democrat Elected In the House of Representatives, on Tues day, A. J. GLOSSBRENNER, Esq., of Pennsylva nia, was re-elected Sergeant-at-Arms, by a vote of 103 to 98. On the same day a resolution was adopted anthorizing the payment to Col. Jonx N. FORNEY of $8 per day in addition to his sala ry as clerk for the time he acted as presiding officer of the House. Gen. CuLLum, (K. N.) of Tennessee, has been elected Clerk of the House of Represen tatives at Washington. We are indebted to the Hon. WM. BIG- Lea, otthe United States Senate, for valuable public' documents, for which he hes ; our Clerk of the House of Representatives The election of General Crunt to the Clerkship of the House, relieves Col. FORNEY of a position which had become irksome tohim, and from which he has long desired to escape. Gen. CuLLux is said to possess excellent qual ifications for the post, but he will be fortunate, if he can secure to himself so general a com mendation from all parties, as Col. Forney received during his official term, and since his retirement. It is conceded on all hands, that Col. FORNEY was the most efficient Clerk, when taken in the aggregate of his abilites, of any other person who ever filled the place. Some of the most violent opposition journals concede this much, which speaks as well for the Col nel's merits, as it does for a proper sense of justice in his opponents. During the nine weeks that the House was engaged in ballot ing for Speaker, and many times amid intense excitement, itrequireda peculiar qualityof mind and address, to preserve some degree of order, and yet give general satisfaction. As Clerk, and for those nine weeks, Speaker also, Col. FOR NEY acquitted himself with such consummate ability that he fairly extorted praise from his known enemies. Even the Washington letter writer of the New York Herald could not with hold his approbation. That was a fortunate circumstance which afforded COl. FORNEY a new field for the display of his varied and su perior abilities, and we shall feel pleasure if Gen. CULLCM will be able to leaVe the position, two years hence, with the same measure of praise as his gifted predecessor. We congratu late the Colonel on this marked impression he has made on the public mind, and as he has al ready displayed his great fitness for the post of Speaker, it may not be long before his fel low-citizens will call upon him to fill the Spea er's chair for an entire Congressional term.-- The Democratic party always seeks its able adherents, and the public part reluctantly with a faithful public officer. Whatever may be Col. FORNEY'S future position in Gov ernmental affairs, his friends are confident that lie will fill it with honor to himself, and with advantage to the public. —Pennsyl- A Great Compliment Immediately after the election of Speaker on Saturday week, Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, of fered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of this House are eminently due, and are hereby tendered toJons W. FORNEY, Esq., for the distsnguished ability, fidelity, and impartiality with which he has presided over the deliberations of the House of Representatives during the arduous and protracted contestfor Speaker which has just closed. This is a compliment richly deserved. For nine long weeks, Cul. FORNEY, as Clerk, pro sided over the house of Representatives with marked ability and impartiality—so much so, as to elicit praise from friend and foe.— Important and knotty questions of order arose from time to time, which would have perplex ed almost any other man. But the Col., ever ready, prompt and fearless in the dischage of his duty, Met them as fast as they arose, and disposed of them in such a way as to give universal satisfaction to every member present. He has his reward in the unani mous passage of the above resolution—a com pliment unprecedented, we believe, in Congres sionalhistOry. Philadelphia Speaks I The consolidated city of Philadelphia is unanimously for Mr. BUCHANAN. The Dem ocratic Convention met on Wednesday last, and appointed the following named twenty gentlemen to represent the City in the Demo cratic State Convention of the Fourth of March, ,s'enaturio/—James D. Campbell, Charles M'Grath, Frederick 0. Frazer, William Lamb and George S. Berrell. Rexesentatiee—Thomas Corgee, Edward Wiler, P. M'Donough, Charles Brady, A, O'Hara. Thomas Ellis, John M'Coombs, Dan. M. Foy, George W. Wunder, Francis M'Cor mick, Alexander E. Brown, John Crawford, Emanuel Street, James F. Nichols, and J. F. llassinger. These are all known to be the zealous and devoted friends of Mr. BucuANAs. The following resolutions, amongst others, were unanimously passed by the Convention: Resolved, That we are proud of our eminent fellow citizen, James Buchanan, who in all the public stations he has held, has proved himself a statesman of the highest order of abilities and of the truest patriotism ; and while the Democracy of Philadelphia will give their hearty support to the Democratic nomi nee, be he who lie may, they most cordially juin with their fellow Democrats of the State in recommending him to the Democratic Nation al Convention as the choice of Pennsylvania for the Presidency of the Union. Resolved, That our delegates to the "Fourth of March" Convention be, and are hereby in structed to use their best endeavors to se cure the election of Delegates to the Cincinnati Convention, who have been the known, avow ed, consistent and firm friends and supporters of James Buchanan for the Presidency. Resolved, That our Delegates to the Fourth of March Convention be, and hereby are in structed to vete in that Convention for resol utions instructing the Delegates to the Cin cinnati Convention, to use all honorable means to secure the nomination of James Buchanan for the Presidency. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.—Another serious Rail road Accident occurred onMonday night, the 4th inst. The Express Mail train, when about three miles west of the Schuylkill, was thrown from the track in consequence of a rail break ing, and the hind car, which was filled with passengers, precipitated down a steep embank ment. One man, a Mr. Hart from Cincinnati, was killed, and some twenty or more wounded, several of them severely. The car took fire from the upsetting of the stove, :Ind was al most entirely consumed. Mr. Holbrook of this city, who was the State Agent on board the train, received a number of bruises about the head and body, tiut escaped without seri ous injury. The run off was purely acci dental, and one of those which no prectuition could prevent. The wounded were taken back to Philadelphia, and every attention paid to their comfort. Our Relations with Great Britain The Washington correspondent of the North American sags that Mr. Buchanan's; letters, received by the Arabia, represent the, feeling in the British ministry as being very sensitive on the subject of our relations. He had received the request for Mr. Crampton's recall fourteen hours before the sailing of the steamer, but had not presented it up to that; time. Of course, therefore, no intelligence; has been received of the effect it produced.— Mr. BUchanan was informed, however, before the positive demand was despatched, of au; course the administration would probably adopt in regard to the enlistment question, and doubtless had sounded Lord Clarendon on the subject ; hence his misgivings. Mr. Buchanan thinks there is reasonable ground to expect that peace will be made on 1 the basis of the propositions submitted to i Russia, but our Ministers at other courts do not express the same confidence or hope.— I They consider the present position of Russia 1 as assumed by her in order to enable her to i complete her preparations. gel., DALLAs' nomination as Minister to England was unanimously confirmed by the U. S. Senate. Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad. We have received from Harrisburg pamphlet ; copies of the annual report of the Superinten- I dent of this work, from which we gather some useful information. The number of emigrant ! passengers eonveyed during the year was 18,- 493, and of other passengers 168,407, the number of miles travelled on the road Iby the trains being 15,138,956. The receipts for passengers, extra baggage and 1 1 mail carriage were $281,379 93, exclusive of the Westchester business. The westward through freight business for the Pennsylvania Railroad was 76,127 tons. The whole amount of collections in westward freight and ears was $266, 055, 87, of which $257,460 81 was at Philadelphia, $305 22 at Paoli, $3,767 03 at Parkesburg, $4,522 81 at Lancaster. The whole amount of freight tonnage westward was 133,333 of which 116,135 was through.— The eastward freight tonnage was 347,709, of which 266, 567 _was through, 162,671 tons be ing from the Pennsylvania Railroad. The whole amount of collections on tonnage and cars eastward and westward, was $857,048 69, and the tonnage 481,042, of which 382,702 was through. During the year the expense of working and maintaining the road was $498,216 32, of which $77,807 02 was for sun dry expenses incurred for the purchase of loco motives and machinery for the shops, and other improvements ; for repairs $84,542 17; for transportation $20,285 55 : for superinten dents, &c., $23,501 05 ; for workshop expenses $71,357 54; and for motive power $208,863 00. Should no reduction be made in the toll sheet the present year, the Superintendent thinks that a large increase in the net receipts may be expected, andthe remarks, that fur a few years past the reductions made in tolls have prevented the State from deriving a prof it from the increase of business. Prefildential Items Mir The Pennsylvanian of Saturday comes to hand with the name of JAMES BUCHANAN at its mast-head as the "only choice of Pennsyl vania fur the Presidency," accompanying the act with a powerful article advocating his nomination by the National Convention. The Lebanon (Ohio) Democratic Citizen says:—"The Eighth of January Convention at Columbus, did net even hint at the man— but from personal observation, and conversa thin with many of the Delegates, we are fully satisfied that a large majority of the Ohio Delegation to the Cincinnati Convention are in favor of conferring the nomination upon the lion. JAMES BCCHANAN, of Pennsylvania" It is well understood at Washington than the Mississippi Delegates to the National Con vention, although uninstructed, are in favor o Mr. BUCHANA.N. The Warsaw (Mu.) Southwest Democrat says :—PublM sentiment is fast and unerring ly settling down upon 11011. JAMES BUCHANAN, of Pennsylvania, fur the Presidency, and if we were to prophesy, we should predict that Mr. Bt-cmccAs will receive the nomination with more unanimity than any similar nomination for mnay years." The Democratic Conventions in Oswego and Herkimer Counties, N. Y., have adopted resolutions in favor of the nomination of Thom as H. Benton, of Missouri, for the Presidency, by the Cincinnati Convention. The Democracy of Somerset county met on the 4th inst., and appointed J. D. Roddy, Esq., Representative delegate to the State Convention, with unanimous instructions for Mr. BUCHANAN. The Eaton Democrat, Treble co., Ohio, has raised the name of Mr. BucuANAN to its mast-head, and accompanies the act with an able article advocating his nomination, in which the editor says, "the popular sentiment of the democracy of Ohio is strongly in. his favor." We clip the following from the Lan caster (Pa.) Intelligeneer. "The Dixon Transcript indicates a preference for Mr. 81.7- The above is found among a list of papers throughout the Union favorable to the nomi nation of James Buchanan for the Presidency, and from the length of the list, and the char acter of the press that is raising this distin guished Statesman's name at their mastheads, as their favorite candidate, we are led to be lieve there will be a great prospect of his nomination by the Cincinnati Convention. We were not aware however that the Transcript under its former editor had manifested a preference for this gentleman, but, it affords us great satisfaction in being able to make good the assertion of the lutelligencer by that expression of our preference, next to our own -honored leader of the Democracy in the North-west, we know of no man whose nom ination for that office would afford us as much gratification. as that of JAMES BUCHANAN of Pennsylvania.—Dixon Transcript. HON. Ji.MES BccuaNax.—The Pennsylva nian publishes an extract from a private let ter to a gentleman of this State, in which, referring to the connection of his name with the Presidency, Mr. BUCELANAN says : "This I neither desired nor 'expected. The movement in my favor has, therefore, origina ted without my previous knowledge or consent, and I should he quite satisfied should another be selected. The next will be the most im portant and responsible Presidential term since the last war with England, or, perhaps, since the origin of the government. Both our foreign and domestic affairs will require the guidance of an able, firm and skilful pilot to ,steer the vesssl of State clear of the break ers. I pray Heaven that the best man may be selected for the crisis, and to me it is a matter of indifference whether he comes from the North or the South, the East or the West." The entire Union will respond "Amen" to this prayer, and that best man may be selected in view of the delicate pisition of our affairs both at home and abroad.

It NORTH EAST WARD. was taken out of committee forthwith and put DEROCEATV. Konn - -Naranto. on second reading, when Mr. Wilkins made 359 an able speech in favor, not particularly of his 28 ' 5 own bill, but of the repeal of the present law at all hazards, and the adoption, if p, at the same time, of some stringent license law. He said he was a temperance man. He was, indeed, ultra on the subject, but his notions were that what we wanted was a law to con form to the habits of the people. What he desired was a system of mild but energetic laws. He wanted a strong, stringent, well guarded license law. Nut a law of coercion, which excited opposition, ill-feeling and bitter ness amongst the people. A coercive law, like the law of last session, full of pains and pen alties, and imprisonment, he abhorred and abominated. The only way to effect a reform of this evil is by reason and persuasion. It could never be done by severe and coercive Mayor. John Zimmerman, 263 Jamb Albright, High Constable. .225 *John Myer, Joseph Brinsonll Sled Cound/. •H. E. Lemon, (3 y.) 265 Bob't A.

Sr. VALENTINE ' S DAY.—Thursday next is St. Valentine's Day, end, no doubt, Cupid's arrows are fly ing thick and fast, making impre•sinna on ninny drooping heal t, of old and young bachelors. Well, this is leap year, and the ladies will, of course, make good we of the time. IMPROVEMENT.—The first story of the build. log, in East King street, recently purchased from Thomas E. Franklin, Esq., by the Lancaster County Bunk, is being torn out to make way for an Iron front. There will also be other improvements made, as it i+ intended to be need for banking purposes, the old building having become entirely too alma! for the hosine , s of this flourishing and highly useful institution. It will, no doubt, be a flue improvement. JUDGE LOWRIE'S LECTURE. —The next lee tore in the course, before the Young Men's Christian As sociation, will be delivered on Thursday evening nest, by Judge Lowntu, of the Supreme Court. Judge Lowrie is a jurist of distinguished ability, and also a highly popular lecturer.

Ole Bull has the reputation of being the best Violin performer in the world, and be certainly sustained that reputation on this occasion. His playing, had a thrilling effect on the audience, and es cited their enthusiasm to the highest pitch. Besides there is a dignity and true gentlemanly bearing about Ole 801 l which at once commands the respect and admiration of all who hear him. The artistes who assisted him performed their parts admirably, and gave great satisfaction to the au dience. We hope Ole Ball will favor Its with :mother visit. "PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES," &C.— The Inland Daily has been grumbling, for several weeks past, at some of our citizens fur not clearing the fee off their pavements. Why, neighbor, delft you set the exempla, and clear your own off? We doubt whether there is an. other pavement, in the city, which bas so much ice upon it as that iu front of the Daily Office. Tho old adage that 'people who live in glqas houses , should never throw stones” is perfectly applicable to our neighbor. RESIGNATION.—Mr. Z13131ER3121.N, the Mayor elect, tendered his resignation, us a member of the School Board, in the following note, to a meeting of the Board on Thursday evening last : To the Board of Common School Directors of the City of Lancaster: Gentlemen:—Called by my fellow citizens to serve in a different capacity, which vacates the seat I now hold in your Board, and Involves thanecessity of my ceasing to act as your Secretary, but which yet makes me an ex-olllcio member. In tendering my resignation, I beg leave to re turn my acknowledgments for your klrnesa and partiality in continuing mo so long in that position. Having had the honor of being a Director from the orga nization of the first Board, under the 00111$011 School Law, and successively electd ever sin., I shall have much pleas ure, in my new position, to meet and co-operate, with you, as heretofore, and to assist, as far as in my power, toward the Improvement and progress of the cause of education in our midst. Very respectfully, Lancaster, Feb. 7, 1955. J, Znimmurr. The Liquor Question to the Senate lie was followed by Mr. Browne, who sub mitted an entire new bill as a substitute fur the bill pending. Mr. McClintock submitted another as a substitute for both Wilkins' and Browne's. . Mr. Browne's bill is a license bill of great stringency. It authoizes the licensing of inns and taverns on the basis of the rental of the property, graduating the price front $l,OOO down to $lOO in the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, and down to $5O in the rural districts; but prohibits the licensing of restao_ rants, eating houses, oyster saloons, theatres or other places of entertainment, amusement or refreshment, fur thesale of liquoraltogether. Mr. McClintock's bill is nut so stringent, and in many of its features is similar to Mr. Wilkins'. It differs front Mr. Wilkin's in this —that the license is based uu the amount of sales of liquor instead of the rental—tu be as certained on the oath of the proprietor, the report of the constable arid the return of the assessors. It divides the houses into two classes—taverns, inns, hotels and restaurants, composing the first class, to sell vinous, spirit uous and malt liquors. Other houses to com pose the second class and sell malt liquors and cider only. It provides also fur a board of licensers, to be composed of three sober, honest citizens, to be appointed by the Judges of the Courts, and time Sheriff, Prothonotary and Register of each county, who are to grant licenses and six the price, according to the amount of sales. These, proposed substitutes were ordered to be !whited, arid the further eohsideratioa was then p.,lt The subj.ket called up again 1111 VIM'S V aftern. , a , Olen the tr:,, new bill; were read. The reading tteoupied the Senate tilt the hour of adjourinneht, and the Senate a u i. journed without making any progress on the bill. It ante up again in order on F'riday and will probably occupy the attention of th Senate now every day until it i= finally dis posed of in that Lady. Lancaster County Legislation On Thursday last Mr. Reinhold presented a remonstrance in the, House of Representa tives :against the incorporation of the Lancas ter City and Conestoga railroad company; and Mr. Hunsecker a petition from Ely Erben, and one from Mary Ann Channel, for relief. Ou the same day Mr. Hunseeker introduced a bill to incorporate the Odd Fellows' Hall Association, of Earl Lodge, at New Holland. On Friday, Mr. Brush, from the Committee on Corporations, reported the supplement to the act chartering the Wabauk Company, Lancaster county. The following bills passed the House of Representatives finally on Tuesday : A bill to vest in Christian L. Hershey the right and title to certain real estate in Lan caster county, escheated to the Common wealth. The supplement to the act incorporatit he Marticville turnpike road company. A bill fur the relief of Elizabeth Gunter, Lancaster eounty. A bill relative to the Shawnee iron coMpa ny, at Columbia. The bill for the relief of the widow and children of George Washington Barracks pas sed the House but was amended in the Sen ate. The two houses could not agree upon the amount of appropriation, and it was sent to a committee of conference. The Com mittee has not yet reported, but I understand they have agreed, and will report to-morrow. They allow the widow a gratuity of $3OO and an annuity of fur life. In case of the death of the widow the annuity to go to the children until they arrive at the age of twen ty-one years. Mr. Barracks, it will be remembered, was killed, while running a locomotive, as engi neer, in the employ of the State. The bill to lay out and open Reigart street, in the city of Lancaster, which has passed the House was reported from committee in the Senate this morning and is now before that body. The bill authorizes the appointment of Commissioners by the Court to pen said new street within the limits of the city, "to cam mence at, a .; point on the south-west side of Church street, where a fourteen feet wide al ley commences; thence along said alley to High street; thence through the improved land of Jacob Gable, Jr., and others, to a point on the north-eastern side of a road leading from the city of Lancaster to the borough of Strasburg, commonly called the Factory road." For the Intelligencer & Lancasterie Messrs. Editors:—You have doubtless seen the communi cation in the Examiner & Herald of last week, endeavoring in a very lame manner to turg.into ridicule my abandonment of the Whig party. Who the author of that delectable piece of composition is, I neither know or care. I shall not in my reply imitate his moral courage by shield ing myself under an unmeaning signature. .Nly object in publishing that brief statement was to set myself in a true position with many personal 'friends, in different parts of the county. This wee my soteobject, and in doing so I was not actuated by any itching palm' for notoriety, US the tenor of the gentleman's communication would insinuate.— I regard the Whig party as defunct—itisrinciples are obso lete; and if ever the hand of resurrection attempts to revive its putrid carcass, I 6111111 be found battling in the ranks of the party messed to its rejuvenescence. I wish to bo plain, open and above board in the expression of my political sen timents, and the attempt of au anonymous scribbler to hold we up to the ridicule of the public is a meanness which certain Whine might stoop to, but a gentleman never w o old.

I=l= Correspondence of the Intelligencer 4k, Lancasterian WASHINGTON, FEB. 5, 1858. I need not inform you that at las. iv.: have a Spea ker. The intelligence has gone with lightning speed to the remotest corner of the country, and ere t.-is everybody almost who takes an interest in public ; affairs is aware that Hon. Nathaniel I'. Banks, of Massachusetts, is Speaker of the Thirty-fourth Con mts._ks may thank certain "twelfth section' now-Not ings,who professed to be his uncompro mising opponents, and who did oppose him through eight long and weary weeks, for his sudden elevation from the "slough of despond" to the Speaker's Chair. The Democrats were resolved not to permit the adop tion of the plurality rule so long as it was certain that Mr. Banks would 'bo chosen under the opera tio% and at the opening of the session on Friday they voted it down. During the day resolutions de claring this and that member duly elected Speaker were offered and voted upon. These were "feelers." Mr. Banks' strength was ascertained to be 102 votes, whilst the resolution declaring Mr. Aiken (der,) Speaker received 103, Mr. Whitney of New York, lone of the "scattering," changing his vote to Mr. A. under the erroneous impression that the ehango would make an election. The chan ces appearing to be equal, or slightly in favor of Mr. Aiken, the Democrats yielded to the plurality rule on Saturday and got beaten—Broom and Fuller of Pennsylvania and Clark and Whitney of Now York, whose votes for Mr Aiken on, Friday had influenced the Democrats'to consent to the adoption of the plu rality ride, throwing away their votes and permitting Mr. Banks to triumph. These gentlemen, from the best light before me, cheated their Anti-Nebraska constituents at home. They have just balanced their political account by cheating the Democrats in Congress. I should not wonder if they were to as certain, when thonext Congressional election takes place, that they have cheated themselves. LAN CASTER . D. C. M. Rare. rkar.
