He was folly satisfied that there were a great many votes east, without names to correspond on the tally list., heaause it was impounds for the 'clerks to' Writ, them down as fast aa the votes were seabed. This woe the =betimes of his testimony. The Lowry rase, being fully satisfied that no fraud had been used oli their part, and that the discrepancy between the number of votes polled and the number of names on the tally lists had been fully explained, declined to call any other witnesses, Mr. Bunt' then =eta th,/, as 0 same of the Committee of the Whole, the Eighth Wet d delegates, having their credentials, be admit ted to seats in the Convention.

Mr. Thompson offered, as an amendment, that the vote ho taken by milling the :01.1 and nays. Mr. Moorhead was of the opinion that Eighth Ward delegetm bad already been ex •eluded by the action of the Convention, in re losing to accept the report.

Another unsuccessful attempt am made to disco a permanent orgeniration, by the elec tion of President. The vote stood—McCand less, 20; Baldwin, 20. Dr. McCandless then moved that a COMV4 it tee of nine be appointed, to eonstilt upon tome plan by which the machinery of the Convention could be pot In motion. They hat/ evidently come to a dead lock, and the machine needed grossing, or something else --he did not know exactly what.

As to the contest in the Eighth Ward, I may be pormitteff to say that I had neither part nor lot In It. Tho contest was not made by my advice.

But I cannot longer permit my name to be used, lot the harmony and efficien cy of the party be jeopardised. I dare always been taught to regard the interests of the Forty as of first importance, while these of in dividuals are merely secondary.

Never, perhaps, bee a modern poet, in this western world, been so much In danger of having to criticise his verses in the not very self-battering strain suggested by the well known line of a Boman poet, who, viewing the triumphs of art, when the 'running hand' of the artist was impreesed on gold and eme rald and carbUncle, exclaimed: "The work manship eeenss even to surpass the material!" —as the author of "Bitter-Sweet" mesPhave felt when thin exquisitely beautiful edition of his truly exquisite poem. was first pot before him. And yet, as the gold and the gems were worthy of the artist's skill end pains, so these verses of our poet, precious in their troth to nature, their fidelity to truth, their sympathy and spirituality, reserve but their _dile in the homage which art' bas here rendered unto them. Beautiful exceedingly, too, is the form—is every in.stanco—of that homage. The eighty illustrations executed in the highest style of art, from original drawings by E. .1. Whitney, Esq., deserve the very highest praise. We MI isadily adopt the language of the Now York Commercial in speaking of them and. say that they are "ex- quieitely !weariful—the desiges eminently chaste and appropriate. They are gems in deed. Some of there Ikautiful pictures are engraved by Air. Whitney himself, and the remainder by artist, of the highest skill and reputation. Never, perhaps, did artists de ign so faithfully and delicately illueram the sentiment and narrative of a text, and never, rcrh.spe, did text supply more pure and sic rating and thoroughly enteral thought and sentinv et to make the finest powers and geoid- f the artist.

It is, we believe, conceded by all, that the oxygen is that prin ciple which supports all animal life, and without it we could not . !survive an hour. Judging of the Doctor's emceesse with this now mode of coring diseases, from our exchanges, we would pronounce It Nature's great No tices, and recommend all to giro it ti trial. isPECI AL LOCAL NOTICES. ruonss NAIST, Plain and Ornamental Slate.floofet, and dealer in Pennsylvania and Vermont slats of the best qnstlity at low rates.

Section 5 glees the informer part of the fine. Mr. Foote introduced a bill granting public lands to the People's Pacifte Railroad and Telegraph line by the northern route, and he asked that the bill be referred to a Special Committee. Mr. Stevens, of Pa., Introduced a series of resolutions referring the various branches of the President's message to the appropriate Committee, and that spart with reference to the treatreeot and condition of the retool lions States, to a Salem Committee of nine, to be appointed by the Speaker. Mr. Davis, of Md.,offered as a substitute, that so much of the resident'. message as re lates to the duty of the United States to gear- - antes to every State a republican form of government, that has been abrogated or over thrown, to a Select Committee of nine, who shall report the bills necessary to tarry sate offset this duty. 31r. Brooks, of N. T., said if the preposi tion of Mr. Davis should be passed, Le should demand that this special committee also en quire whether the Republican Gorernment bee not been abrogated, and overthrown In the North as well ns in the South since the Revolution began. Mr. Lovejoy said that in era of certain individuals there still 'lista a Republican Gevernmeat in the North withoot infringe meet or abatement. He was fee the Constitn tion ae it is, and the Union as it was : and not es interpreted. Ile would dispossess the 1 einvehelder of the Union as he would thee, 1 who had invaded the Chesapeake. He woo:d j put a loyal crew on board and eall the good ship Union s our fathers had done it. Sir. Davie, of fiy.,eolled up the resolutions in relation to the exchange of prisonere, arguing vehemently against the policy of re- j fusing to exchange our suffering white eel- diem—the languishing, .tarries and diseared I white men, becau,s, the rebels refuse to ex- 1 change negro captives. Ho denounced at length the policy of the Administration upon the serered poiots in which the negro it af fected, characterizing. its position es mon• strous, end referring to the present era as the , reign of Abraham I. He averred that his own loyalty was unspotted; that he hated, ; with undying rigor, the crime of secession. 1 It was evident that this policy was only a part 1 of that design to perpetuate the pasty power i of the Adcoloatration. Ito closed with on ; indignant and earnest protest against the re- i fusel of the Admialstratien to liberate thou-' ' sands of starring and dying white moo far I ' the sak• of • few negroes. Mr. Jelfraon deemed it perfectly clear that humanity, which I. the highest polity, de manded the continuance of the exchange of prisoner,. Ile proceeded to combat the opin ion of the Senator from Kentucky, Doris, that these men should not be.protected, and corrected his views of the power of tho Pres ident by quoting from the Constitution rela tive to the executire and legislative powers. Mr. Devil. replied by laying that a previa hie of the Constitution confers no power In the govmument; the Supreme Court Mid so interpreted It. He also claimed that the President had no right to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, which was a legislative, not an executive junction. The powers to Le exercised, are conferred by the Constitution clone, and there ,p no power rested in the government, • Lich is opt conferred by the Constitution. Deuce, the President cannot raise troop. °risen:Li...tor has he the pow, r to organize meat area to put down an insurrection without the assent of Congress. It was the de terminetion of the party in pewee that the war shell eoutioue Until the next Presidential election. The war would hare been brought to n eh,' if the Administration had sincerely and In good faith Berated Itself to the princi ples announced in the Crittenden resolution, nail If the commanders of the armies had not been selected, cot because of their hostility to the rebels, but because of their opposition to dlarery. .. Mr. Ilefe r -of IL il.,,xese to indignantly deep that it eras the desire of the gentlenien on this floor to continuo the war in order to intlaeuee the next Presidential election. A more atrociou, allegation against the honor- able men never was Listened to from the be- ginning of time to thepresent moment. It the allegations of the Senator were true, he would sooner aka into his own hands the hand of a man from the charnel house, reek- with pestilence, than the hand. of those around him. If the allegation was true, then . , every Senator was stamped with the foulest treason nod perjury. The destinies of the 1 country have been submitted to the gentle. men around hint, who ore bound by their oath to sustain the country and the Constitution sod to defend the firesides and homes threat ened by invasion, while the Senator from Kentucky says they are hypocritee, and do not mean to sustain these objects. - MT. Doris explained that he had reference to the men in power. Mr. Halo replied that the Senator had tootle an allegation which embraced every• Senator. ; It was an Itilestatiun which, if true, would die- ' grace the rites Inmates of a penitentiary. Tho character of the President was also in cluded in this allegation. Ile believed eon thing, that met everybody's assent, that Lin coln is eminently an honest, patriotic man. To-day, for the first time, he had heard the honesty and patriotism of that Executive questioned. It the Government hie called for black soldier. to take up arms, and calls them out to fight the battles of the conntry, it is bound to protect them at all hazards, end by every agency it can put forth. The Govern ment having used them, and they having be come prisonen., and if they are abandoned to :heir fate, it is guilty of baseness un heard of in history. The party In power has one elm, and that aim is the country •, but one purpose, and that is the salvation of the country. The idea that the administra tion and its supporters desire the continuance of the war in crier to control the next Presi dential eleotion--desire this cruel war with its cries of anguish, our eons given to .laugh ter, our widows in moonoing, and our kindred driven to destitution—is an insinuation sob.s that he wondered that it found its way neon loathe fertile brain of the Senator from Ken tucky. [Applause in the galleries.] Horse.—The Speaker laid before the House, • message from the President, cordially re commending Capt. John Rogers, the captured ' the Fingal, for his distinguished zeal, bra ! very and general good conduct, receive a rote of thanks from Congress, this preliminary being required by law, In order that he may be advanced one grads higher in the may. The Speaker said be found on his table a letter from J. L. Riddle, signing himself Gov enter elect of Louisiana, notifying him of the resignation of Theo. Coltman, a member of the Howe, but as the latter name does not append on the rolls of the Mona, tho entemetnieatioo wes not laid before the House.
