Pennington Speaker. FORNEY ELECTED CLERK ! Speeches of Grow and Hickman! WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Feb. 1, 1160. THE ELECTION OF SPEAKER. The long agony is over. When the House mot, it was evident the disposition of the Dem ocratic side was to filibuster, notwithstanding that agreement yesterday that a vote should he had without unnecessary delay. Mr. Bur nett, who had made the proposition, interpos ed, and temporarily arrested this spirit, and a ballot proceeded. Various members explain ed their votes, and others changed for the pur pose of spenkiug. Mr. liarksdale made a des perate effort to rally a union on Mr. McOler tiaud, but Messrs. Mallory and (J ilmer demon strated that a combined Democratic and [ American vote could not elect. After tedious \ and dilatory progress, the roll was finished, and j Mr. Briggs, wlio hair voted for Mr. McCler- ! nand, changed to Mr. Peu.ingtou, thus con-; suramating un election. Mr. Riggs, who! promised to change, did not. When the re- j suit was announced, the galleries rang with ; cheers, but no demonstration was made on the | Republican side of the floor. They bore the i triumph becomingly. At this moment, Mr. Ilindtnan of Arkansas j rose to speak, and was restrained with much : difficulty, to allow the Speaker to be sworn in. j Even after their defeat, the Democracy were | unwilling to submit, and confusion prevailed in the hull for several minutes, until Mr. Bocoek and Sherman escorted Mr. Bennington to the j chair. Ilis speech produced an excellent iui- j pression on the House, and, after adopting | the rules, and after the usual formalities were ; gone through with, an adjournment till Friday M us carried. The Committees will be announced next week. Mr. Sherman wiii be Chairman of the Ways and Means, and leader of tho House.—- Mr. Grow will be at the head of the Territo ries, and others, who were Members of the AXXIVtii Congress, wili probably be restor ed to the positions they then occupied. Noth iug is determined, however. After the election of Mr. PENNINGTON, as Speaker, a serenading party visited Messrs. PENNINGTON, Sum; AN* and IIICKMAN, at Wtl liards Hotel, who addressed the crowd. The party next called upon Mr. Gitow who also made an address We only have room for the remarks of Messrs. GROW and HICKMAN. SPEECH OF JIR. HICKMAN. Mr. Iliekman was next called out, and said : GENTLEMEN —I really do not know why yon should have called me out on this occasion, for I certainly am regarded here in this city as a prince of rebels. (t'rie> of "Good" and cheers.) Your friends vifl stand by you, but I have never been able to understand exactly in what my rebellion cot-dsts. It i.- perhaps owing to the fact that 1 hive declared an un faltering attachment to the Union of these States. (Cries of " Good "and cheers for the i tiloB.) I has d . ared on more than one oocadon that the Union -hail not be destroyed —('OHee of " Good " and cheers) —that there is a feottservativea i ding that will always pre serve it— orFi •• F .'s so") —and that if any portion of Hi people shall'attempt at any to destroy the U' u of these States, there will I e aI a r ■ in j f y of the people opposed to tiie defflrfmination w! ich will preserve it.— v Cries of " Good" and C eers , A remark -rvative and pre servative of the rights at; 1 liberties of the whole people, there are eighteen millions of people in the Northern free States that are determined to pr serve it. (Cheers, and cries of" Kverv time.") And I say to you tonight my fellow citizens, that if it will require the State of Virginia in arms to take Old John Brown and seventeen men and one cow— • cries of " Good'') —it will at least require more than the fifteen feeble States of the South to successfully conip 1: with the eighteen mighty States of the North. (Cheers.) I preach but one doctrine—i: is the doctrine that 1 preach at all times, and in all places, and what I say in Pennsylvania I am not afraid to declare in the city of Washington— ( cheers) —I say that there is no power in the combined States of the South, when combined under the banner of disunion, to compete with the freeman of the North ; and I say now, once and for nil, this Union must and shall be preserved. (Cheers.) We have seen, my fel low citizens, that the t lection of a black Re publican, as he is called, to the Speakership of the House of Representatives at least has not produced a disruption, and we shall see hereafter, even if a black Republican Presi dent shall IV elevated into the White House, that the Union will still be saved. (Cheers.) If, however, large parties may he divided in the North by name, there is no division in sen timents as regards the maintenance of tliecon ttitution and the Union. (Cries of" Good" and cheers.) Nor is there a divided South ; for I tell you, whether parties in that section be called American or democratic, they all fight under tiie same banner, and are enlisted lor tlie maintenance of a >ingle policy. (Cries of "That's so.") So in the North, when the time comes, you will find the divisions have disappeared, and if there be a single man there who shall descend from the policy which it will then become our duty to pursue, we will first hang him as a traitor, and then attend to the traitors South. (Cheers.) I do not wish anybody to be deceived with regard to the state of sentiment there. I know that there are a few men there whose principles you can not discover, and others again who profess to he upon the Southern side, and to join them in this-cry which is now raised against the preservation of the Union ; hut I tell you, when the day of trial comes, these men will disappear as tho fog before the Northern blast. (Cheers.) There will be no division then. I tell yon, my friends, when you go home to-night, rest securely upon your pillows under the conviction that there never was n time in the history of this republic when the Lnion of these States was more firmly secured than it is at this present moment ; and if it shall ever be in danger, I will tell you how it is then to be preserved—it is by sending up .o-ie \ united delegation from the North into t.ic iious'- ot Representatives, and iheu you wiU see that this cry of " disunion" will die appear forever. (Cheers.) Gentleman, thank- j ing you for this compliment, I bid you good ' night. SPEECH OF MR. GROW. The serennders then proceeded to the resi dence of Hon. Mr. Grow, who spoke as fol lows FELLOW CITIZENS —I must of coarse regard this very flattering notice not as a compliment paid to me as an individual, but to me as a representative of principles and measures cher islied by so large a portion of the freeman of the nation—(cheers)— -those principles that | were engrafted by our fathers upon the gov- j ernmerit at its earliest formation, which uuder- j lie the structure of our free government, and which gave to it vitality and success. We still maintain those principles cherished by Wash ington and Jefferson and the fathers of the re public, aud which are yet dear to the hearts of the present generation, uud upon which those wisest, and greatest of men established in this New World a government in which all men j were to be regarded in courts of justice as hu- i man beings, entitled to the protection of life, | liberty and the pursuit of happiness. (Loud j cheering.) Having to-day closed a long con flict of more than eight weeks in a strangle to organize the national Legislature, it is with faelings of pride common not to us alone, but millions of freemen in the States of the L T niou rejoice in the result. The long conflict is to day closed, so far as organizing the legislature is concerned ; but this conflict, fellow citizens, j is not one of sections, as has been represented j —it is not a conflict between the North and the South, or between any other sections of this Union, but it is a conflict as to an element of political economy and the systems of labor existing in this country It is a coiiflet wheth er the unoccupied Territories of the Union shall be now, and continue to be, the hoinesof the freemen—whether they shall be dedicated cud consecrated forever in free homes, for free men, or whether they shall be occupied by a population emigrating thence, not only from your own States, hut brought to this country from the shores of Africa, by which the Ter ritories shall be fil'ed up with a black slave population, instead of being the homes of white freemen. That is the conflict of to day— (Cheers) —and not a war of the sections of this Union. It is a conflict 011 a principle of political economy, and as to the system ot la bor that can best develope the raaternd interest of the country, and foster its great industrial interests. (Cheers.) The question of the day is, whether the men who own their own labor, whose daily toil is the only means they have of obtaining a livelihood and support for themselves aud their families, shall be the re cipients of this great inheritance, bequeathed by jour fathers—whether those who own their own labor are to occupy the Territories of this Union, free ram the degradation that contact with slavery everywhere brings upon free la bor, or whether they are to be occupied by those who own the labor of others, and whose capital consists in the bones and muscles of the laborer. This conflict between the labor that owns itself and the capital that owns it has caused this long struggle in Congress, and to day shakes the political elements of the re public. (Cheers. A voice—" free labor for ever ; down with democracy.") It is not a conflict between the States of this Union, or the people of one section against the people of another section ; but it is a conflict of these two elements ; and we a>k that the govci 11- ment of the country, so far as it has constitu tional power, shall wield that power in behalf of the free labor of the North and the South, and in behalf of the free labor of the world, and that it shall dedicate the unoccupied Ter ritories of the Union to freedom, and to free homes for free men. I am obliged to you, fellow citizens, for this mark of your kindness and respect, and receiving it as tendered to principles of which I am a humble advocate. I bid yon good night, wishing you ad a long and happy life. WASHINGTON, Friday, Feb. 2. Mr. FORNEY'S election as Clerk of the House ! was effected by the votes of all present who had voted for Speaker PENIXGTON, together with those of HORACE F. CLARK and Rtc.cs, 1 and with the exception of Mr. DAVIS, of Mary land. Col. FORNEY was serenaded to uigbt. In the course of his oratorical response he said the Republican Party had been basely slandered in being held responsible by the political op ponents for the Harper's Ferry raid. He had witnessed with pain the coodnct of Northern Democrats, in concert with those of the South in fuithering the views of the Administration for the perpetualization of Slavery. Our country has higher and nobler ends. He would guard and protect every Southern right, and enforce the Fugitive Slave Law. In conclusion, he said he was like Muzeppa, when bound to bis steed, who when sent forth on his perilous journey from which it was designed he should never return, shouted back to his persecutors, " I will return, one day." If the President, seated in his parlor, "could hear these shouts he would know that he (FORNEY) was here. Mr. HOFFMAN* also received the votes of the Republicans and about half the American vote, and was thus elected Sergeant at-Anns. Seven Americans, viz ; Messrs. Maynard, .Moore of Kentcky, Quarles, Stokes, llatton and Smith of North Carolina, voted for Mr. UNPF.HWOOD. Mr. GLGSBRENNER, in addition to the Democratic votes, received those of Messrs. Bouiigny, Birstow, Hardeman, Hill, Leach of North Carolina, ami Vance, who be long to the Southern Opposition. A DAY OF HORRORS. —This morning just as the operatives had arrived at the scene of their labor, the boiler in a factory in Brook lyn exploded and five persons, including a part ner in the firm, were instantly killed, while a number of others were wouuded. A few hours later a crowd assembled in the yard of the Tombs witnessed the execution of Ste phens, convicted of poisoning his wife. We beheld in one of the streets of the city about the same time, a man who had just fallen from the top of a vessel's mast, boru along 011 a shutter to the hospital. A few steps further, and we met another unfortunate, who had just lost his hand at the wrist by catching it iu some moving machinery. Yesterday there was a disastrous explosion in Williamsburg, by which two men were killed and two wounded. A still more disastrous calamity occurred last uight in Elm street, iu this city ; a tene ment house was bnrned, and eighteen persons perished in the flames, while a number were injured. A fire in Lexington a ventre last night destroyed several costly dwellings. Ac cording to rumors about towo, Tom Hyer, the well-known pugilist, was shot by a companion last night at a drinking saloon. From Troy we hear of the painful death of a member of a fire company, whose head was accidentally crushed between the tongue of the engine wnd barber's pole.— Ec. Post §rahtoJieporto\ i?. O.

Since onr last issue, Congress has organized by electing WILLIAM PENNINGTON, of New Jersey, us Speaker, and J. W. FORNEY Clerk. The election of the former was brought about by the vote given to Mr. SHERMAN, with the addition of Messrs. DAVIS, ADRIAN, and BRIGGS. While we were anxious for the success of Mr. SHERMAN, yet we have no less cause to rejoice in the triumph of the Republicans with Mr. P. For all practical purposes, the triumph is equally as valuable-—and with the election of Messrs. FORNEY and HOFFMAN creates a state of feeling which must lead to the happiest re suks. Now that Congress is organized, we trust that the iniquities of the Administration will lie probed to the bottom, and its rottenness fully exposed to light. The Maryland Legislature received Friday a series of resolutions from the Legis lature of South Carolina, proposing to call a Disunion Convention. Out of respect to a sovereign State the resolutions were allowed to be read, but in the debate which followed only two members sustained them. In a letter to the Governor of South Carolina, Gov. HICKS writes that Maryland can see nothing but in ' jury to herself in the establishment ufa foreign asylum for her fugitive slaves ou the borders of the State. The Overland Mail brings news up to the 2Gth ultimo. It was the general opinion in Leavenworth. K. T , that the gold mines would produce from one to two million dollars per month, as soon as the Spring commenced. Last season they yielded about two millions of dollars. Snow bad fallen to the depth of a foot along the Platte River. The accounts from Arrapahoe, on the Vasquez River,report the miners as still busy. Flour is quoted at $lO per 100 lbs. The Denver City express brought to Leavenworth $3,000 in gold dust, and several passengers. THE NEWS of tlie election of Mr. Pennington was received with great rejoicing at Newark, his home. One hundred and eighteen guns were fired in honor of the event, and the Mer cury office was brilliantly illuminated in the evening. Perhaps no public man in the country is more generally popular at home than Gov. Fedoinglon. The rejoicings; however, are not limited to Newark ; they seem to be the order of the day everywhere in the North where there are enough Republicans aim Americans to raise a shout. His election is indeed a sig nal triumph over the Buchanan disunionists. FIRE AT OWEGO. —The tannery of SAMUEL ARCHIBALD, in Owego, on the south side of the river, was totally destroyed by fire, on Tuesday morning, about live o'clock. The Binghatnton Republican states that the tan nery belonged to Mr. ARCHIBALD, was insured for $*2,000 and the stock, belonging to SACKET & ARCHIBALD, was insured for S4OOO. The total loss was probably about SB,OO0 —leaving S2OOO not covered by insurance. Richard Realf has been examined by the Harper's Ferry Special Committee. He [ stated that Senator Wilson wrote to Dr. Howe in 1557 or 1858 stating that he had learned from Forbes that Brown was talking of mak ing a raid some Southern State, and that | he (Howe) must withdraw ail means furnished or intended to be fouruished him for services in Kansas, if they were to be misapplied in that manner; and that iri consequence Brown abandoned his plan for a while, but afterwards renewed it. EXECUTION OF STEPHENS. —James Stephens the murderer of his wife, was on Friday morn ing last, executed ut the City Prison in New York, lie spent all of Thursday night is de votional exercises, and bore Himself firmly and with composure to tire end. lie died assert ing his innocence, both of the murder, and also of any plan to escape from prison. He declin ed to make a speech under the gallows, but expressed a strong hope that his sins Were for given, and prcfessed to be ready to die. After hanging nearly forty minutes, tho body was delivered to his friends, end in the after noon it was interred in Greenwood, beside the grave which hud once contaiued his wife's re mains. There was not sufficient strength in the Nebraska Legislature to pass the Slavery bill over the Governor's veto. From the Legislature we have nothing of importance. Our usual Harrisborg letter has failed, owing probably to a want of mat ters of intereet tojcommnnicate. Republican Mass Convention. In pursuance of a call of the County Com mittee, the Republicans of Brail ford met in Mass Convention, at the Court llousc, on Monday evening, February 6, IS6O. The meeting was called to Older by JAMES 11. WEBB, Chairman of the Committee, upon whose mo tion EDWARD CHAN DAL was elected President, JAMES B. INGHAM and E. M. FAR RAR were chosen Secretaries. On motion of U. MERGER, the President was authorized to appoint a Committee con sisting of thirteen persons to recommend to the Convention Delegates to the Republican State Convention. Whereupon U.

G. 11 EMP-TKAD, of Susque hanna County, as Senatorial Delegate to the llarrisburg Convention. The report of the Committee was unani mously adopted E. O. GOODRICH from the Committee on resolutions mule the following report, which was adopted : Rev ived. That we recognize in the platform enunciated at Philadelphia, in 1850, a full ex position of the aim and principles of the Re publican party; and we reiterate our ad iierance to those doctiiaes, and our contin ued belief that their adoption as the settled policy of the government is necessary for onr advancement and prosperity as a Nation, and the peip tu ty of our free Institutions. Resolved, That the profligacy and extrav agance of the present National Administra tion ; its perversion of the powers of the Gov ernment ; us unblushing pro Motion of pat ronnge ; its favoritism, whereby the public treasury is defrauded ; the determination to re-open the Slave Trade ; the avowed purpose of enacting a slave code for the Territories ; decisions by the different branches of the Gov ernment, setting at defiance precedent and right, timed at the freedom of speech and tlie security and value of onr postal arrangements; the tendency to centralization, and the ab sorption by the General Government of the rights of the Slates, end its exercise of powers unconstitutional and dangerous; ail to strength eu the institution of Slavery, show "irre pressible Conflict" between Slavery and Free dom, and should urgp upon every Republican renewed exertion for the success of a party and principles chose triumph would bring back the Government to its original purity and confine legislation and the action of tiie Administration within Constitutional am! proper channels. j Resolved, That the recent outrages upon . the liberty, persons and property of onnflend j ing citizens, in the Slave-holding States, are the legitimate fruits of an institution which is i emphatically a " relic of barbarism." repugnant ; to our mora! instinct- - , and showing its sintiuro i uism to free institutions, and its incompatibility | with the full enjoyment of those priceless bles l sings, to secure which our forefathers pledged j " their lives, their fortunes and their sacred I honor."' Resolved, Tiiat the Disunion sentiments re -1 cently uttered in Congress, by the Southern i leaders of tfie Democratic party, applauded and sanctioned by their Northern adherents, deserves the reprobation of every patriot, and should be repudiated by every citizen. That i the Democratic party is justly entitled to be | stigmatised as the Disunion party —a party which threatens the integrity of the confed racy unless the most outrageous schemes to perpetuate and strengthen Slavery are allowed to be consnmmat' d. Resolved, That our able and efficient mem ber of Congress, Hon. G. A. Grow, is entitled lo the renewed expressions of our confidence ; and regard. That he has proved himself an able legislator, and shown his ability and de- I termination to protect his constitutional and personal rights, whenever assailed. Resolved, That the great interests of Penn sylvania, are of National importance and de demand the protecting care of Congress.— That in providing revenue for the expenses of the Government, such discrimination should be made as s ill amply protect the productions and labor of our country against the depress ing influence of low wages and cheap markets abio id. Resolved, That the people of the respective Congressional Districts are entitled to the election of their Delegates to the National Convention, and that we do not recognize the authority of the State Convention to deprive us of that right. Resolved, That we urge upon the Republi cans of the County, the importance' of early organization in each election district. That the County Committee are hereby requested to appoint three Republicans in each election district, whose duty it shall be to call a meet ing of the Republicans of their respective dis tricts for the purpose of forming district clubs.

Mr. Echbart of Snrrthboro", in tlrvs county, while playing on the ice, as we learn, slipped and sprained her ankle. Subsequently intlamation came onand a destruc tion of the bones of the ankle ensued. Amputation of the foot became necessary, which was performed by Dr. Cutßciui.t. of Owego, on Tuesday of this week. The little sufferer is, up to this time, doing apparently well.- She is now under the eare of l)r. SYLVESTER Kxxrr, Jr., who assisted in the operation. SHOCKING ACCIDENT. —EarIy Tuesday morn ing the painful intelligence spread through our town that ALICE STEWART— an interesting daughter of NELSON STEWART of FactoryrUle, aged about fifteen years—had been shockingly burned ; and a little later came the an nouncement of Jier death. The f..cts, as we learn them, are as follows : Mr. Stewart and his daughter had been out somewhere until a late hour on Monday evening last, and on returning home he kindled a fire in the stove and then laid himself down upon a settee, while Alice seated herself in a chair near the stove. Botn soon feel a-leep. Suddenly Alice aroused , all iti flames, and screamed to her father for assistance, who awoke, caught the burning girl his arm, and rushed into the street. The poor father struggled haid to save his daughter, but before the flames were extinguished the skin of Alice—except around her face—was burned to a crisp. The unfortunate daughter" lingered a few hours in intense agony, when death came' to her relief. Mr. Stewart in attempting to rescue his daughter was badly burned, though not fatally, but it feared that he will lose one, or both, of his arms. The funeral of Alice took place on Wednesday after noon. and was largely attended, especially by the youth, among whom she was a favorite.— fl'acrrly Advocate. THE SHERIFFOF TIOGA REMOVED.—WE learn from the Owego papers last week.that PAXIEE L. JENKS, Sheriff of Tioga Comity, lias been removed by Gov. .MORGAN. The causes alleg ed for his removal are that prisoners have been taken out of Jail, on one or two occasions, to* vote, and he was in the habit ot employing them to do work upon his farm an i to " chore 1 it" about his house and bum. The Owego Times (Rep.) gives a long account of the charges preferred against Sheriff JENKS, ana approves of the Governor's action in the mat ter ; while the Gazette (Hern ) denounces the whole affair as a "high-handed outrage," and says "such causes would, if made general i their application, remove every Sheriff we vea ture to say, in the State of New York."— Sheriff JENKS is a Democrat, and was elected Sheriff a year ago last November.
