' The Cosies& Gut Spestkfr. • • fir l'eat . tiale the electinh of a Speaker =parall elled in"the histiwy °rout country, has occupied the attentirni tithe Horne of Representatives sine* its first meeting. Up to our last intelligence, them seemed no more prospect of an end of the contest, Than when the fist ballot was taken. So. t‘fitiallp viewed, this result would seem unfortu nate, as wasting the time of our National Lem,' la rots, and squandering the treasure of the country, but in view .of the extraordinary circumstances counseled wit!}-this prolonged snuggle, we fee mails in it, over which we can rejoice. , The selection of a Speaker is of. infinite' impor tance. Ile moulds, as it were, ' the legishirnm of the body over which he)presides, •by the ship rug oldie various committee it becomes his preroga lln to name. A great responsibility rests upon line, in this tenpect-.-aad he wields a power which should only be placed iu the hands of an able, im partial and conscientious man. Heretofore, the South, by the force of their peculiar tactics, have secured to themselves the control of the most im portant committees. It was particularly their object and purpose to do the same thing now—that the serious questions and projects which are demand ing the attention of Congress, might come up in as favorable a shape to them as possible. In the preliminary caucus held by both political -Ism-Mons of the - House, the ultra and proscriptive spirit of Sostern dictation manifested itself, In the - whig meeting it was plain, mid though the meat al rra should hive been satisfied with Mr. Wirrnatir, yet a portion seceded ' . In the Democratic caucus— whiai more particularly concerns es now, the same • spirit which has worked so much dinas er to the Democratic party, was too apparent. The declare- eion was openly made, that the nominee must be a man to satisfy the South, or they would not support him. It was the old game over—a candidate ; must be selected, bound to the interests of the ; South, or the South would not receive him. Men i who held that slavery ;had cursed enough of our 1 fair territory, that it should go no further, that our newly acquired possessions should be kept free from its mildew—were arrogantly told they, were ;lot fit for the Speaker's chair—that the South never could support them, but they should support the ; man oche South. For once,this spirit has checked. Men threw themselves into the breach with a firmness and de termination such as the South has never before met with. The result was as gratifying to them as it is glorious for the North. The solid phalanx of leathern . interests has been taught for once at least, the km." of public opinion. That feeling of strength and security which animated them, has been dissipa ted—lheir ranks are broken and sundered to a point never before attained. 'the curious developements made in the House en Wednesday afford our readers the best evidence of our Southern arrogance and proscription. Mem bers from that section, when they found they had been feting for a candidate who had promised to construct the Committees of fair and impartial men, deemed it necessary to apologize, in order to make , peace with their constituents at home! ' What a commentary upon :he strictures of those who find fault with Northern members for correctly repre senting their principles and the wishes of their constituents! It shows plainly the strong bond Which binds together southern influences and j makes it so effective. It is the unity of feeling,and actions, • when their " peculiar institution " it in the question. " The South has no traitors" they tauntingly and truthfully boast. They have no ser irile,eyophinitie, timeserving, contemptible dough:, faces. Would to God, the North could say as much, and this question of perpetuating and extend. dog Slavery would long since beenvenled. When can we hope to see the feelings and sentiments of the `,Corth truthfully and firmly expressed! When it can be done; it settles and forever, all doubts,' as to the constitutional powers of Congress, and fixes this glorious brotherhood of States into a stronger sad more enduring compact. Thirty r naembees in the present Congress like *the meq who have refused to bow before the Juggernaut would do it. We have great faith thit this small barni relay accomplish much toward it. The responsibility of thus delaying the cep:size tioo3el Congress, rests with the South. .If they re fuse to organize oolong they can elect a slavery. p iremNandist, let them bear the odium.. There are many' members who are uncommitted upon 'this question, Who could command the entire Denso cratitck.para el the North, and yet the South will net viAt.ttr ibeet, .Why ? , Because they will,not bow dos** worship at their blots.-because they will not,. pletoly @lo ft ily and bind themselves band and OssetettOrcseeta libarbteSouth be permit tee tea _tiprrwerthe thrite,rtnnthe of the North?— Is there's:li spirit in theirteresentati . veal If they Ray to the member of this Distriet,the views enter tained by your constituents, whahave returned you here, make you an unlit man to be Speaker, they proscribe not only the Representative, but insult the deep and profi3und sentiments of his constitit 'ency.

Mors sap4lstlM: 1 There has been.gensiderable said lately, sheet the eepudiation by the Chester County Bank, of its stolen issues, but , the following information which ire take from the Northern Democrat, throws the Chester County gentlemee m the shade. For coil Bank swindling and rarcality,' Susquehanna seems re.erninent.. The idea of repudiating Sus quehanna County money,, is rich, decidedly, and shows bow far a joke can be carried. .The stud is pretty maelt.tlike, in our opinion—and though there may be whispers of an intention finally to redeem it—we doubt, whether to the end it does net tont out lite Towanda money. It appears, that a certain share of the notes of exploded concern,. amounting to some E 63.000. which are distingu ished from others by a particu lar mark, (the tenet "C" over the "Q" in " b:usqus hanna,") are to be wholly repudiated bythe Bank, on the pretext, we are told, that they were issued in an illegal manlier, or without tbe authority or con sent of the Directors of the institution. (It is this amount, and the notes, it is alleged, that has been put into circulation iu the West within the last four months and the return of which has coshed the bank so madalenly.) They were filled as all other notes of that institution were filled, with the exception above and signed by C. P. Delamator, Cashier, and Wm. 1...P05t , President. The brat intimation thatthe public-has had ou this resolution of the present managers of the Bank, was given out we understand, at the auction of the affects of the late Wm. Ward in New Milford, on Friday lam.— A cooSidable amount of the proscribed notes was there tendered In payment for articles purchased in accordance with the advertised terms of sale. but peremptorily refused on the reremmeudation, we are assured, of the President of the B rah, who wins present; and whose unquesiottetl signature was upon each bill ! It is of no avail to say that these notes were put in circulation by fraud. Did not the President, when lie signed them and the Cashier,when he issued them, know fdr what purpose ay were destined ? Can t he public be gulled by the delusion that this enormous amount of bills could be signed and set afloat by dune gentlemen during the short spice of three mouths, without their ever thinking to en quire into their destination and purpose ? To us, at least, this seems to be the last degree improba ble. And is not the bank responsible for the acts of its officers—its agents! This question is so self evident that it requires no answer. No onequestions that the principal is always bound by the acts of his agent, when the acts in the capacity of the agent. If we send out a proxy to collect in our accounts,and he chooses to pocket the proceeds of his tour and P tan for Oregon, the loss is ours in equity—not our patrons !—So, we take it, is it with the Bank. If its. Directors, nho are but the agents of its stock holders, choose to entrust its a ff airs to the Manage. merit of a president and a Cashier, they are bound in justice, and equity, by the acts of these officers. If they loan money, and take for it irresponsible paper, the Bank—not the community—must sus tain the loss. To refuse to do this, in our judgment evinces but little 'honesty, and no magnaninnty.— . To repudiate a put of the acts of its agentsy' and not the whole looks very much like putting the capettine to the swindle that has been played, I upon the conntty.'with a coolness and nonchalsuice • that would do coedit tilt the most finished clown. If the bank has anything to pay its creditors, let it pay them, and not rase ilieCnctions . ; if not let it say so, that the public may be put out of suspense at once. Support your County Paper. The Mowing remarks from a speech of Bon. I. itosissotv, -a member of Congress, contain truths, which every County printer can feel the force of!— Sometimes I hear it said that two dollars is too much fora County paper; that large ones can be had from a distance (Cincinnati or the *s) much cheaper. Well. it is very true 'that you can get, papers cheaper—and it is equally true that if you are determined to bring city or eastern pa. pers into competition as to site and price with your co unty paper. the idea of continuing country papers had as well at once be abandoned. Our country pa. pers cannot coMpete with them in this respect. and they do not pretend to do it. If you wash:musty pa pers, if you think they are of auy consequence to you' as the organ of your party at home. or for their local intelligence and news, you must expect to pay a liule for these considerations. I should think it an awkward and 'clumsy buissees in this comity now, for our pa ny to enter a political modest without a paper to a them to organise .

His friends, however, persisted that hie name was under their Control, id would not permit him to do that which it was his anxious desire to perform. He new begged leave publicly to experts to his friends his wish that they should not longer make use of his name. He slaked therefore to my to all his friends that while he thanked theme for the most cordial and devoted support they had given him, that it would give him the utmost satisfaction if they would now concentrate their vote on anoth er candidate to whom be would give most cordial support Mr. J. B. Thompson said be bad voted for the honorable gentlemen from Massachusetts, and would continue to do so, if he would permit it.— He preferred him for the position for his =pacify and courtesy. But as his name was now out of the contest, the friends who supplied him wanted time to deliberate anti consult. and look around -for another candidate. He therefore moved the House adjourn. The question was taken by Yeas and Nays and decided in the negative—Yeas 100, Nays 11. Mr. Meade submitted that the motion of the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Cobb) was out of order, because the election of Speaker was the regular business before the House, unless that la:- sine's were superseded by some other. Mr. Baker, amid great contusion, moved that the House adjourn. Mr. Stanton, of Tennessee, on the other side of the House, snionitied a similar motion, remarking that be believed a motion to adjoins was always in order. The clerk thereupon put the question on that motion • the qnestion having prevailed, the Home, at a lat e hour, adjourned. Westnsorn, Dec. 12, 1612. HOC= or Remetesztrreuvrar-ltir.

Mr. Brown said the Democrats had a majority, and, being in a majority, they should have the Speaker. Mr. Thompson of Pa. offered a resolution, that the Members should vote by ballot until 4 o'clock. Mr Cotter of Ohio, offered as an amendment, that the Speaker elected shall be divested of the power of appointing the District of Colombia and Territorial Committees : that the said Committee be made by vote of the how. He (Mr. C.) cou damped the ri,!irtalous attitude of the House, and be proposed to remedy the dif fi culty in the resolu tion. It was only by keeping up the subterranean discord that the majority is crippled is its senti ments. Mr. Meade of Va. conceived that neither of these propositions could reach the evil existing. It was the existence of the third party that caused the trouble. If, en the organisation, propositions were to be introduced to 'abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia, or prohibit Slavery in the Tamtpriea, he trusted in God that his eyes had al ready rested on the last Speaker of this House, The South would resist all aggressions, and the sinews or every man's arm in that section would be'steel.
