three &nes. no member she:) have received-a ma
jetity of all the voter, the roll shall ba again called,

'Mr. Conn was then conducted to the Chair, and
addressed the lkitke in a short speech, after which
The House adjourned'.
Of Mr. Cora, as a man, we entertain a hialt
respect. The.circumstancesrander which he was
nominated should have prevented every iridepen
dent Northern Democrat liom supporting him ;
etherwischeweeld have been as unexceptionable
as any Southern mart
Southern Liberality.
It is . scliTont we notice the gartulous tionserr4e of
thtg Washtnvort Uninn—bot the following parr
gral h which we find in the " sole- organ" of the
20th will alti-Arate to ,our readers the position of
the Southern members in Congress, and the spirit
of liberality and compromise by which • they • are
wettialect in the choice of a Speaker:—
'the correspon4ent of t4re New York :Journal of
Commerce writes, on Fridaydast, that the free-soil
era held a caucus the night before, and "agreed to
adhere to their course—that is, to vote for no one
astSpettiser who wiilmot pledge himself to give them
a fair representation ow the committees for the. Dis
trict of Columbia,-tbe Territories, and the Judiciary."
ifthis be their position; if they will vole for oo
man who will not give such pledges, their a demo
cratic Speaker is out of the question. We presume
there is.not now a-man in the,House who wdlgive
any pledge to that effect. In fact, the very supposi
tion involves an insulting reflection upon the prin
diples or the independence of the democratic party.
The South in this contest, have not cast a vote
reiany Ent a man known to be friendly to their in
terests. They gave Mi.Porn:a to understand that
,le had been guilty of voting in a previous Con
.
gr;esifor the Wilmot Proviso, and consequently
they would not support him, white Mr. Wrong, of
tliui State is in the same predicament They only
su •
pported Mr. Browii,becanse they supposed him
4mMuglily Dough-face. .
• The Union then gives the assurance that dieter

both. I bargained with neither, That 1 was anx
ious to obtain their votes Ido not deny, strut admit.
Mr. Wilmot's testimony on the floor of Congress
proves, that all I promised him and iris friends wrs
to constitute certain committees " of the best and
ablest men whom the Smith had sent to represent its
interest here, in order that the iieaip of the South
might have a full and lair expression through the
committees and hall of Congress ;" "slid that north
ern men holding the of Miens of the North and re.
presenting the views of the nerhern people, should
also be beard through the Committees and the
halts of Congress, and that their views should
not be smothered." Of each men I intended to
have constituted aft theeommittees; and I think no
fair men would have done otherwise. in
_I had b
title eonferenee with southern gentlemen. When.
the subject was mentioned to me,l pointed to my'
printed speeches, my votes in Co ngress, and refer

how repeat the same declaration, and shall vote as
I have always done, useless otherwise instructed .
On Wednesday morning, before fie ballotings cont . -

A slight interruption of diplomatic intercourse
which occurred betweeti this Government and
France. I am happy to say s has been terminated,
and our Minister there has been received. it is
therefore unnecessary to refer ; now, to the circum
stances which led to that interruption. I need not
express to yen the sincere satisfaction with which
we shall welcome the arrival of another Envoy .
Extramdirutty and minister Plenipotentiary from a
sister republic, to which we have so long teen, and
still remain, bound . by the strongest ties of amity.
Shortly alter I bad entered upon the ifeeharge
of the. Executive duties, 1 was apprized that a war
steamer, belonging to the German Empire, was
being fitted oat in the harbor of New ,York, with
the aid of some of our naval officers, rendered un
der the permission of the late Secretary of the Na
vy. The permission was granted during an armis
tice between- that Empire and the Kingdom of
Denmark ? which had been calmed in theSchles
vriglfolsteter *Sir. Apprehensive that this act of
intervention; on our part, might be viewed as a
violation of war. neutral obligations, incurred by the
treaty with Denmark, and of the revisions of the
att of Ceoweisa of the 20th of Apnl,lBlB, I direct
ed that no farther aid shouli be rendered by any
agent or officer of the Navy; and I instructed the
Secretary of State to apprize the Minister of the
German Empire accredited to this Government, of
my determination to execute the law of -the Unit
ed Stales, and to maintain the faith of treaues With
alt nations. The correspondence, whicli ensued
between the Department of State and the Minister
of Cite German Empire, is herewith laid before you.
The eteention of the law and the-observance of
the treaty were deemed by) me to be due to the
honor of the country, as well as to the sacred-ebli
gallons of the Constitution. I shall not fail ter pur
sue the same course, should a similar ease. arise
with any nation. Raving avowed the opinion, on
faking the oath of office, that, its disputes between
conflicting foreign governeseriti . i, is our interest,
not lees than our duty, tareitam strictly neutral, I
shall not abandon it. You will perceive, from the
correspondence submitted to you,in connexion with
this snippet, that the course adopted in thitccase has
been propetcy . '" L regarded by the btligerent powers
interested' in the matter.
Aithuol* a Minister of the United States to the
German Empire was appointed by my predecessor,
in August, 1848, has, for a long time been in
attendance at Vranktort-on-the-Maine i • and lath&
a MinistiN, appointed to represent that Empire,vras
rev:lived and accredited hem ' yet no such Govern

finitely constituted. My.. Dcalolson, our represen
tative at Frankfort, remained there several months,
the'expectation that a union Of tb6 German Stater,
under ene' cobstitillion or form el govern:6CM,
.might, at length, be onmaried. It is believed, by
those welt acquainted . -with the existing relations
between Prussia and tbe States of Germany, that
no such union can be; permanently, established
Without her cb-Operatiod: In the even: of the lor

draW our Minister at Berlin bet while Prussia ex.

- relations are maintamed. with her, there can be no
necessity forethe continuance of the mission to .

Having beenapprized that a eonsiderahle num
ber of adventurers were engaged in fining out
military expedition, within the 'United Staters,
main** foreign cowry and believing, from the'
best informasem I eoplabusin, dual it was destined
to invade the island of Cuba, I deemed it due to
the friendly relations existing, between the Unite&
Stites and Spain ;to the treat r f between the two!
nations; lb the hives_ of the United States and,
