The Herald of yesterday contains a graphic account of the wreck of the American clipper ship Flora Temple, of Baltimore, in the China Sea, in October last, which disaster caused the lores of eight hundred and fifty Coolies, and eighteen' Europeans. It was written by Dr. A. P. Cumni, who Was a passenger on board, and illustrates the horrors which almost ine vitably attend the Coolie trade, while it de scribes ever the most disastrous shipwrecks that ever occurred. .. The Flora Temple sailed from Macao for Eavana on the Bth of October, 1869. When she had been out a few days it was discovered that the Coolies, who were doubtless greatly dissatisfied' with — the dreary prospect before them, had formed a, scheme to kill the crew and-take possession of the ship. The mutiny was promptly s9ppressed by the captain, but not until one of the. crewhatlbeen backed to pieces and killed, and 'several others wounded ; and but for the, panic _produced among the Cooliis by the prompt, use' Of revoliers, by the captain of the vessel arida Portion of the crew, the latter would probably ,have.all been murdered. Before the excltenOt - growing out of this mutiny had subsided, and while the intense feeling created by it still remained, on the 14th of ' October, the Vessel struck a;reef in the China sea, and notwithstanding the efforts to save her, it was e' . found Impossible to extricate _her from her position.; The crew at once were horrified by the fear that while all on boaid wore In this helpless and'deplorable condition, the Coolies Would rise . and murder them, and the captain ordered the boats to be lowered, into :one 'of :which, containing ,thirty-one men, Including ' ine ,writer of, the account,. Captain JouNsox and his brother entered, and after enduring, many sufferings and privations, ar.' rived. on the • thirteenth day after leaving the wreck, at Touren, where they were kopitably received by the French Admiral, Nt.P.Lon,who sent in search of the missing boats, as well es to rescue the Coolies ; but of these eight hundred and fifty unfortunate be. ings, not one,.remained ; and of the ship itself nothing could be seen except the , port.side, from the main-chains forward, • attached to the re mainderof the wreck by the rigging, together with the bow-sprit and jib-boom, and the top of what. de'ektied to . lie a main sky sail-mast. No hope is entertained of the rescue or escape of the Coolies who' had been abandoned from their perilous' situation, nor of the safety of the eighteen Europeans in the missing boats. The disaster is one of the most destructive to human life that have ever. occurred on the ocean, and furnishes another strong reason for the abolitiod of the Coolie trade, which is only second in infamy to the African slave trade. The Meirgais of Sligo. One of the statements made by Mr. Snows, of Mississippi, in the debate in, the United States Senate, a few days ago, which preceded the election of General, Bowsuit as printer, was that the associate editor .of the Constitu tion, the aristocratic BuowNE, was the heir•ap parent to the estate and title of the Marquis of Sligo, and that he had not been naturalized. Subsequentik, Mr. BIGLEB explained that ha had - in his possession a letter from' Mr. Baowsz, stating that lie was naturalized, but in what court did not appear. Some of the ablest exponents of Democratic principles, and most fearless, champions of tho Democratic party this country ever contained, were men of foreign birth. We have always resisted at tempts to establish, in defiance of the spirit of the Constitution, political tests against such men; but it is certainly a little 43ingular that the representative and heir-apparent of one of the aristocratic - families of the OM World should havo been selected for the position of associate editor of a paper which claims to bo the organ of the Democracy of the Union, and that a Marquis in prospectiYe should have been chosen to instruct the country in the tenets of Democracy; to read out of the Democratic party men whose lives haye been devoted to the promotion of its principles, and to act as the special champion of an Administration elected by the Democratic party, and claiming to be its representative. The Free Negroes t : We alluded a few days ago to the move- Meats made In the South to remove the, free negroes from the respective States under the penalty of being sold into slavery. Since then It appears the Missburl Legislature have adopted a ,bill to enforce this policy in that State and it is now in the hands of the Go vernor, with a certainty of becoming a law, unless he vetoes it.. Louisiana, it is stated has also adopted this law. In Tennessee, the manly and eloquent opposition of .Judge CA ?RON, one "of the Justices of, the Supreme Court of the United States, expressed in his communications to the public journals of the state, *nears to have done much to check its passage, The ,expectation that this anti free negro movement would become a general one throughout the South, continues to excite considerable sensation in the Northern States; and the Governors of phio and Wisconsin, in anticipation of it, have expressed themselves in favor of Hon. P. P. Buns, project.of colonizing the free negroes . of the country in the southwestern portion of our continent, if such a scheme is practicable. The Missouri Democrat, is a warm advocate of this policy. The pirojpean Congrese. There !snows Prom . Europe, by the steamer axon at Portland, to the 4th instant. The only important item of intelligence is that a Strong doubt has arisen whether, notwith :standing all the arrangements, the proposed Congress at Paris will take place at all.

Matilda Heron's Benefit. The benefit of the author-actress, Matilda Heron, who is all Philadelphian, (with some portion of Irish in her heart, brain, and nature!) takes place this evening, at Walnut-street Theatre, when the now play, " Loabia," will be pedaled for the fifth time hero. Miss Moron's engagement eon. eludes to-morrow evening, its she oortainly agpoars at the Winter Garden, Now York, on Monday. We do not ask the publio to patronise Miss Heron because she is almost a Philadelphian, but because she Is a woman of undoubted genius, who can write as won as play. We verily believe that she has brain enough to sit down and edit a daily news paper, off-hand, if she were put to it ! Fortunately, the _has a more luortGive profession. The new play, which has been put upon the stage with great teat() and correctness, engages not only the main strength of the Walnut-street Theatre, but Mr. James W. Wallaok,Jr., performs the principal part in it, and-plays it magnificently, toe. Mr. Wal ' tack is extremely fortunate in thus obtaining a new and effective oharaoter, which he has so finely individualized that, henceforth, it will be him:ai -1 deal with him. Lola Illontez. The Countess of Landsfeldt—fer such a title ions Lola enjoy, on the roll-call of the Bavarian nobility—purposes to deliver her Sketches of Eng land and Bagßahman, as a Lecture called John Ball at Rome," at Musical Fund Hall, 'in the ;team of neat week. These views, the result of eld aequaintanee and her recent tour, are reported co be more in laughter than In anger, and the points more immediately touched upon are the Comic Side of English Character, English and American Charaeteristios, the real Original of gtitional Roguery, English Philanthropy Un masked, and a peep at English Gallantries. The Poughkeepsie Eagle, noticing Lola's visit in Poughkeepsie last week, pronounces thus: Bier subject John Bull at Home.' She spoke for an hour and a half to an audience of near ly a thousand people. Her lecture was interest ing; herself and her manner more so. Lola is handsome, a splendid elocutionist, with the keen est sensibilities, and a knowledge of human nature so thorough as to give her great power, over the heart, doubtless, ste well as over the judgment of the people. Whatever else may be said of her, she certainly sanest be accused of undue modesty, either in her frequent allusions to herself, nor in the character of 80/118 of her quotations when speak , ing of the Woman's Rights movement of half a century ago. But the fair lecturer is not to be condemned for plain speaking. She is a most re markable woman. So young and handsome, and yet so • travelled' and accomplished, she is a won derful instance of the capability of even a delicate women to conquer difficulties, if she but WILL. "It is proper to say that the audience was com posed, for the meet part, of ladies, and that, as a whole, It was of the highest order, as regards wealth and social respectability. It is also proper to say that the lecture, as a whole, was good, and maculated to do good, in that it disabuses the mind of the hearer of a great many erroneous notions which obtain in this !Country with regard to the true state of society in England. It is also proper to say that the fair lecturer appeared highly pleased with her visit to our city, and as the people of our city appetired highly pleased to see and boar Lola Mouton, the pleasure of her visit appears to have been entirely reciprocal and mutual. French Opera Conrique. The programme promises well: Consisting of Scribe's comic opera of "La Chatte Motamor phone," (the story of the White Cat dramatized); the 'finale of " Glulotta et Romeo, with Madllo. Anna Wissler, as Romeo, whioh used to be Mali bran's great personation, and the ono-not operetta of "Jean le Sot." The performance takes place at the Academy of Music, on Monday evening, the curtain rising, as usual, at 8 o'olook. Tickets are sold (reserved seats without extra charge), at the Academy of Music, at Beck t Lawton's, and at Chiokering's. cc Every Body's Fnend." ' There is no diminution, at Arch-street Theatre, in the popularity and success of this very amusing comedy. Mrs. John Drew, Mr. Wheatley, and Mr. J. S. Clarke, perform in it as if they liked their re spective rides . , and, therefore, the public perceive that the play it done fullest jastioe to. Mr. Clerks, es " a milingtary mat," is suasively amusing. Letter from " Ocenstonal.” f Correspondence or The Pf iVaanraaroN, January 19, 16430 The Democratic party in the Northwest le closing its column warmly and enthusiaatically around the standard of Stephen A. Douglas. The result of the late Indiana Convention lea practical and somewhat poetic commentary upon the course pur sued by Senators Bright and Fitch on the Leoomp• ton question, and particularly against the Senator from Illinois. I have the kindest possible person id feelings 'for Mr. Bright. He has many high qualities, among which are energy and devotion to his friends. His speciality for some years past has been extreme hostility to Judge Douglas. This feeling led him warmly to espouse the cause of the Administration on the Kansas question, al. though I believe at heart he sympathized with the sentiment common to the Democracy of the free States op that subject. Ills colleague, Dr. Fitch, you will recollect, led in the early assault upon Douglas, in the Senate—an as sault somewhat after the model of Mr. Pryor, on Tuesday, upon John Hickman. It was the es sential oil of vitriol, and was as marked for its severity of language as for the caustic manner In which it was pronounced. Mr. Fitch, not content with this addition to Looompton literature, con tributed his son to the Danite or anti-Douglas column in Illinois, and the hillter young gentleman improved upon the pattern set to him by his father, prthere than one speech distinguished for anger and for aerie:way. Added to this array against Judge Douglas in 'lndiana, were your of d friend, John L. Robinson, now marshal of that State, Governor Willard, Mr. Hughes, yesterday confirmed for the vacancy in the Court of Claims, created' by the death of Judge Blackford, Mr. English, of the English bill, and others. Mr Douglas had very few leaders at his back, and yet, in the face of the most violent op. position, he carried the Convention, got the delegates, and secured instructions of the molt stringent and comprehensive charac ter. Some of Bright's friends are good humor edl:r reminding him of this catastrophe, but I am told he bears it with becoming fortitude and resig natian. Another, lesson has been taught to Mr. Ric% of Minnesota, hi the action of the Conven tion In that State in favor of Judge Douglas, a few ailr;"d ago. 3ioe enlisted early In the Admin- Utration ranks on the Lecompton question, and the consequence was'the loss of Minnesota to the De. :peered° party, and the triumph of the man against whom all the energies of the Administration have been employed. Gentlemen from Wisconsin and lowa, now in this city, assert confidently, that bath these States will unanimously declare for Douglas. Of course, Pennsylvania, where the "Little Giant" is very Topular with the Demo cratic masses, will be mei by Mr. Buchanan and his oMee-holders against the popular sentiment. The whole policy of these gentlemen has been to set themselves up againt the popular will, to sub stitute Mr. Buchanan's treachery for the old orthodox faith of the Democratic) party, and to drive whole battalions of men Into the Opposition ranks. I have no doubt that Judge. Black has already prepared the resolutions for tvour Reading Conven tion, and, no matter how fortunate you may be in your nomination for Governor, the poison that is to Mauro tho death of that candidate in October will be poured into any platform that map be erected 'What a satire is all this uion popular govern ment! What a mockery of Democracy !°' The old Democratic party of Pennsylvimia, called together in the citadel of old Berke, fist to renew our ad herence to time-honored prinolples, but to accept and approve the heresies of men who have ob tained power only to botrty our confidence Imagine Henry A. Muhlenberg coming from his tomb on the 29th of February, when Mr. Ito. bort Tyler and his followers will come forward with a declaration in favor of the despotic exam ple of James Buchanan, and demand that this example shall be hailed as the surest salvation of the country by the delegates of tho Democratic masses. Would ho not say, "Did I not toil you that James Buchanan was a ffederalist at heart? Have I not, 'thousands of times, admonished you that if he ever obtained power it would be at the cost of 'the principles of the party ?" But I never expected that old Berke county would be made the theatre upon which the last of these saeritioes was to be effected. Elizabeth of England, "glorious Queen Bess," said, on her death-bed, that if her body were opened before her burial, there would be found written upon her heart the word " ding to her anxiety to recover that Important French possession, which was lost during her reign, after having been in English hands for two centn rims. Although our American monarch has always been a great admirer of her maiden majesty, and has been fond of quoting Shakspeare's beautiful tribute to her in "Midsummerle Night Dream," he has been as nnluoky in imitating her best qualities as he has been successful in improving upon der worst ones. As in evidence of this latter proposition, he said, the other day, that, after hie death, he desired no prouder inaoription upon his tombstone than the stogie word " LecoMpton." Elizabeth mourned, with her last breath, that she 'had lost a noble possession—one of the jewels of her crown—and, in this, paid a tribute to the wishes of her sub jects; but James Buohanim, in the sunset of his life, prepares for his final summons by a declara tion that be desires his monument to be signal ized by the most abandoned assault upon the opining of a free and enlightened people. I regret to state that there ie very little hope for the admission of the new State of Kansas into the Union. The feelings ot the South have beet so much excited that they wily` not grant anything that may look like the slightest concession to the North. It Is now said that even the Southern Americana will resist the petition of Kansas for admission. OCCASIONAL.

SBNATE. . • Mr. Dutra LAE, of llMole, called up his resolutions instructing the Judiciary Committee to bring in a bill for the better suppression of invasion, So. They were made the special order for Monday next, at J f o'clock P. M Several bills and memorials of no general inte rest were presented. Mr. TENETCK, of Now Jersey, presented a peti tion from Oharles S. Olden, Governor of New Jer sey, and 119 others, in favor of the passage of the homestead bill. . . . Mr. MASON, of Virginia, called attention to the fact that on previous occasions, when the organiza tion of the House was delayed, the Senate did no business but to receive credentials, and refer bills, memorials, resolutions &a. No legislation was cc • eouiplished ; only initiatory elope wore taken. lie read opinions of Benton, Crittenden, and others, in 1839, to show that they were opposed to the Senate transacting business while the 'House was unorgan ized. He therefore opposed the motion just made, to refer n certain private bill to the Committee on Private Land Claims, and moved to lay it ou the table to test the question. Mr. BAYARD, of Delaware, saw no evil to roult from the introduotion of hills and their reference to appropriate committees. It was a more ques tion of expediency. Mr. MALLORY, of Florida,wee opposed to the Se nate acting, as it might be regarded by the other House as an attempt to expedite its organization. He would apply to that body no outside pressure. There were at least three notable occasions when the Se nate abstained from doing business before the Rouse organised. Vice President Fillmore ruled in 1819 that the Senate could not act. There was a large number of contested seats in the House, and we could not tell but all might be contested. Mr. FRSSENDRN, of Maine, did not like the idea of sitting week after week, doing nothing. lie could not see the force of the argument of the Se nator from Florida, that any notion on our part might be regarded by the House as a pressure upon it to induce it to organize. That, he rather thought, was an argument in favor of action here. lie did not think the precedents quoted should govern the Senate. They were not bused on constitutional grounds. It was intimated that that action pro. ceeded from a desire to avoid work and to adjourn over. The President evidently regarded that there was a Congress, as ho had sent in his annual mes sage. He argued that the Senate could and should do its share of business--House or no House. Mr. Taus, of New Hampshire, suggested that it would be bettor to take up Mr. Bayard's resolu tion and pass on that, instead of voting on a mo tion to lay on the table. Mr. MASON withdrew his motion le lay on the table. Mr. Bayard's resolution, that the Senate shall take no final action on any bill until notice of the organization of the Houso is received, was then taken up. Mr. Manor moved to lay the resolution on the table, as it did not cover the whole ground. If a bill could bo read the first or seoond time, it could bo read a third time. He was opposed to any ac tion whatever till the House was organized. Mr. BAYARD sustained his resolution. He thought we could institute measures and stop short of final action. Farther discussion on this point ensued, in which Messrs. Foster, Hunter, Fessenden, Collatnor, and others participated. On motion of Mr. TOOMBS, the Senate agreed that when it adjourns it adjourn till Monday. Mr. Tatra Bum, of Illinois, moved to amend Mr. Bayard's resolution so as to read that until the House organizes, the Senate has no constitutional power to transact legislative business. Mr. MASON, of Virginia, offered a substitute that until, by communication received from the House, the Senate is informed of its organisation, the So nate is not competent to proceed to legislative bu siness. Mr. Tnviinort, said that was eatisfsetory to him and he withdrew his amendment. Mr..llAva, of Now Hampshiro, moved to etriko out the vrords " communication from the House," so that the resolution road, that until informed of the organization of the Louse, the Senate is not competent to do business. Alter a great many suggestions, the whole sub ject was laid on the table. Mr. BINOIiAII, of Michigan, moved now to refer hie bill to the Committee on Private Land CIiLIDA. Mr. MASON raised the point of order that the Senate was not competent to make reference until the House is organised. Mr. CRITTENDEN contended that it was not competent point for the Chair to deoido. The Chair submitted the question to the decision of the Senate The point of order was overruled by a vote of yeas 45. nays 7. Those voting in the negative were Messrs. Clay, lisle, liawlin, Johnson of Tennessee, Mallory, Mason, and Yuleo. The bill was referred. On motion of Mr. FITCH, of Indiana, fifty-five hundred extra copies of the Treasury report wore ordered to be printed. Mr. WADS, of Ohio, promoted a petition that the surviving soldiers of the war of 1912 be nut on the pension roll Mr. Km, of New York, offs :d a resolution for the appointment of a select COinl , li'.:Cl3 to investi• gate whether $41,000, or any oCitr non, hits been paid oat of the publia printing, or Lilo printing of the Executive departments, to eo ppm t nea spspers, especially the Washington Gonstii alien, and Phi ladelphia Pennsylvanian and Arg:is, and whether any contract was made, at any time, by Mr. Bow man with the former printer to the Senate and the Executive departments, by which he was to re• ceivo $20,000 ; also, whether any Cabinet offloor or mrmbor of the Oovernmont woe privy to the ar rangement, and what reduction can be made in the price of the public printing. Laid over. The Senate then adjourned till Monday. ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE:3. Mr. litantraa, of Arkansas, said the people would single out those who aro responsible fur the non organization of the House. He was ready fur the trial. The Democratic party had nothing to dread. The Republicans were responsible for this state of things, If they had put ID nomination a man who bad not recommended the circulation of a book counselling rapine, insurrection, and blood shed, there would have boon no prolonged opposi tion to his election. The Republioan party was a sectional party, having its support only in the Northern States, and springing out of festoilog prejudices and malignity by whieh it is kept alive. He proceeded to show that this was the fact by re cent oceurrenees. He spoke of the blindness and fanaticism which moves Northern men to look abroad in quest of imaginary evils, while terrible wrongs lie at their own doors, and referred to the proceedings of the spinners of the Pemberton Mtlls, at a mooting which they held last winter to complain of the tyranny of their masters and the slavery which they had to endure—worse than that of the African —and of the obscenity on the part of the overseers towards the female operatives. lie stated, in re ply to Mr. Gooch, that these proceedings were pub liaised la the New York Herald of February lest. Mr. Goons, of Massachusetts, said that as the letter In the herald prefacing the resolutions was dated Farmington, N. IL, it must have been written by Some dismissed operative who had re turned to Now limpshiro, and Trott thence wrote to. the Herald. A member said the promedinga took place In February last. The loiter boars the date of Janu ary 16th. It was from a former employee of the corporation, Hiram 11. Gould. Mr. 00001 i, of Massachusetts, replied that this was precisely as he thought. The letter was dated Farmington, Now Hampshire, from a man who was dismissed from tho employ of the corporation, and whose testimony, under the circumstances, wee not entitled to credibility anywhere. His opinion wee that, these spinnemlnade from $1.50 to $2 a day, working ton hours. Mr. HINDMAN would not discuss the question of authenticity. It seemed that the gentleman dis believed a btatement from ono of the white slaves of a Northern factory; but if the testimony had come from some runaway negro frorg the South, it would have been amply sufficient fair him. Mr. Gooch replied that hie opinions on slavery wore net founded on the statements of runaway slaves, but rested MI other bases. Mr. HI:IIEAX hoped the gentleman would occupy no more of his time. He bald Bohn Brown was a tool of the Republicans, and did their work ; and no Republican could skulk the responsibility. Pub lic opinion would gibbet them as effectually as if the hemp that strangled John Brown wore already around their necks, from the author of the ‘.lrre pressible Condiet" doetrino down to the member from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Hickman.) If the latter should march his Northern men against the South, the whole crop of hemp would go tip, andthe price of arms go down—for the South would take from them arms enough to equip the whole people. the Northerners would be "welcomed with bloody bands to hospitable graves." The black mantle of itepubliennism covered both Sherman and Helper. ft was an outrage end an insult to the South to in. stet upon Mr. 'Sherman for Speaker. If the Re publicans are to be defeated, it must be by a De mocrat. The Democrats should Together their scattered forces, moot in caucus, and noreinete a candidate from their own number—they placing in his hands the standard of the Constitution and the Union—and rallying under that flag, we should give hereafter ono united and unchanged vote for him to the end of the contest, whether it end to. morrow or on the 4th of March, 'ESL We have filibustered long enough without profit. Mr. Btxousu, of Ohio, called for a veto upon the question of order raised on the plurality resole. don of his colleague (Mr. Huta:Mos) yesterday. Mr. REAGAN, of Texas, moved a call of the House, which was refused—yeas 06, nays 111. A conversation ensued between Messrs. Coma, RExasx, and Bnatsen on the point of order re :meeting the plurality resolution, the two last arguing that It was not before the House. Mr. Deign, pf Virginia, caused an article to be road from the New York Courier and En 7uirer, with reference to the ammo of the Southern members. He said he would morn to make issue with such a man as Webb, who sought to for gn the Northern people a false Idea as to his (Mr Loake's) course, which had not ones entered his head. lie never did say on this floor that the 'dea den of Mr. Sherman a Jot cause for the dim laden of the Union, butte dild think that the election of Mr. Sherman, with the present state 9, the public feeling, would be the initiator) , stop, and iffellowed by the election of Mr. Seward to the Presidency, would be the rains bells. He woo a Union man In a proper and constitutional scn , r, cad yet ho was not here to shoot hosannas to the Union Ile would make any personal sacrifice to preserve it. but would not for this purpose sac rifice the rights of the people of Virginia and the South, Ha denied also the truth of the Courier's assertion that they want to reduce the six millions of whites at the South to slavery, and sauced to be read a letter front a con stituent who undertakes to show, from the Bible, that slavery was instituted by God himself, and Christ declared it no sin to hold alma. Mr. MOTTLE, of New York, caused to he rend a paragraph, showing that there was a Convention of Garrison Abolitionists hold recently at Utica, New York. There wee a moderate attendance, and resolutions wore passed, laving in substance that the New York //grafi/ was a safe niedium for the communication of Abolition utterances t 9 the South, and returning thankejta Mr. Bennett, Ito publisher. Mr. Pottle advis the Abolitionists of New York to extend their patronage to tho Herald, for they were under obligations to It for advertising their principles beyond the limits of that State. He regretted that those proceedings should have been spread broadcast throughout the country. Air. LEASE, in reply, said the South were not afraid of Northern influence. Ile wanted his eon stitnents to comprehend the principles which go. vern the Republicans. Ile wanted them to eons prebend the "Irrepressible penfilet" doctrines of Mr. Seward. That was all. Mr. CURTIS renewed the question of order that the demand for the previous question was not de batable. Mr. Bocoest, of Virginia, and adhere contended that the plurality rule was not before the +f epee. THE PRESS.-PIMLADELPMA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1860. Mr. Cor.r.tv, of Indiana, contended that the Muse should vote aye or no. Ile gave way to Mr. Wias Low, of North Carolina, who euggoated that, by common consent, all the propositions before the House should be withdrawn, except the resolu tion of Mr. Clark, of Missouri, and Mr. Gilmer's amendment. • • . . Mr. BARKSDALE, of Mississippi, spoke for him. self; ho had no authority to speak for anyone else; but under all oiroumstanoes ho was opposed to the plurality rule, and would oppose a vote on it if no resolutions wore on the Clerk's table. Ile bolieved he expressed the sentiments of his side when he said they would oontinuo to resist it. Mr. COLFAX, of Indiana, asked whether there was not a written agreement among gentlemen on tho other side that they will not allow the plural!. ty rule to be voted on. Voices.—How many signed it ? Mr. BARKSDALE repeated that he spoke for Lim. self and to the last intended to resist the adoption of the plurality rule, believing it would result in the election of Mr. Sherman. Mr. COLFAX. You have the right to resist it by all parliamentary means but do you say there la a written agroornent among you by which you will not permit It to be voted on ? Mr. BARKADALIL I have no right to speak for any uthor gentleman than myself. I regard snob a rule unconstitutional. Mr. COLFAX. I huvo always answered the gen- °omen's questions fairly. Does ho refuse to an swer my question ? Mr. BARKSDALE. I have repeated three times that I have no authority to speak for any ether gentleman, but I believe there are a number of gentlemen who intend to resist. the adoption of the plurality rule by all constitutional and patio. mental./ expedients. Mr. BURNETT, of Kentucky. I, for one, em op posed to the plurality rule, believing it unconstitu tional and violative of the rights of the majority, placing the eleotion in the hands of the minority. There is a written agreement by the gentlemen on the Democratic side, who pledge themselves to re. slat, by all parliamentary means, the adoption of the plurality rule. I em one of those who, by every parliamentary strategy, will strive to de feat it. Mr. COLFAX.• As the gentleman is so frank, I would ask him whether, if oven a majority of the House, or two-thirds, desire to have a veto for or against the plurality rule, he would still resist to prevent such a vote being taken. Mr. BURNETT. TllO gentlemen who pledged themselves intend to stand by their agreement, lot the number be what it may. Mr. COLFAX. Ths question is, whether you wilt prevent a vote' Mr. BURNETT. I speak for myself. lam ready and willing to co•operate with any number, to use all the parliamentary means and strategy against the plurality rule, if necessary, till our commissions expire. Mr. COLFAX. Do you intend to resort to the means known to parliannotary practice to prevent the clerk from propounding the question? Mr. BURNETT. I hold that the resolution of Mr. Hutchins is not properly before the House, and I am ready to defeat its adoption by resorting to all the tactics known to parliamentary law, by dilatory motions, such as to adjourn and calls of the House, and by consuming time in debate. I will do this to defeat the minority, and prevent them from placing in that chair a man who endorses the doo trines of the Helper book, and who has not either affirmed or disavowed them. I repeat, to prevent such a disgrace on my section and constituents, I will resort to all parliamentary and legitimate moans, so help me God, so long as I have a seat on the floor. [ApplauSe on the Democratic, side.] Mr. CoLvax. In regard to the Helper book, I want the country to undo :stand the facts. The Republicans have been accused, for six or seven weeks past, of having endorsed a book counselling a servile and civil war ; yet the Democrats have themselves embodied extraets from it in their speeches, and sent them broadcast throughout the South, to every town and plantation, thus sowing the seeds, if they !Alive their own arguments, of civil war. If this be the result, en their hoods be the responsibility. Mr. BURNETT. Why have the Southern men sent extracts from that book to the South ? Why publish them broadcast? It was that those they have the honor to represent might know the true condition of the country, ant might understand and fully appreciate the object of tho party there which nominated for the highest position next to the Presidency, o man who has coolly and delibe• rately endorsed Helper's book ; and he believed the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. C.lfax) was la the same condition—EA voice " Worse,"]—ad• vising slaves to rise against their masters, to use the knife and sword; and recommending non slaveholders to have no intercourse with slave. holders. The book le revolutionary in its charge tar, inviting nets of rapine and murder. The Repub lioan party have treated us contemptuously In re fusing either to affirm or repudiate the doctrine. . Mr. WINSLOW explained that by his suggestion he did not mean that the House should act on the plurality rule. lie would oppose it by all legiti mate means. Mr. GAItNETT, of Virginia, said he should insist one direct vote on Mr. Clark's (of Missouri) rem lotion declaring an endorser ef Helper's book unlit to be Speatcer. Mr. Rtottitirt. The agreement is nearly an fol. lows : Wo are resolved, by ail parliamentary tu nes and esatageuis, and by all moans known to the Constitution and laws, to resist the adoption of the plurality rule, oo long as it is necessary to pro• vent the Motion of John Sherman or any en dorser of the Helper book. Mr. McQuzsx, of South Carolina, said that a largo number of gentlemen bad signed the agree• moot--gentlemen who wore true so their opuntry, and who would seek to save the South [Tuna the degradation and disgrace of electing any man who endorsed the Helper book. The cannier)" soil has already been dionehed in blood by the Republican teachings, which were Infamous and treasonable. Mr. CoLvax asked whether the signatures were private or intruded for the public eye. Mr..lticQuxxx replied that the object was, that they should not be curried to the Republican party, but the entlewan could not hove become a, (painted with the agreement if it had been a pri vate one. Mr. COLFAX Raked Mr. Lamar, who had risen, how many Democrats had signed it, and whether any Northwestern Democrats wore included. Mr. Lashio said ho did not know the number of signatures. Ilexes satisfied that no Northwestern Democrat had attached his name to it. lie signed the recommendation for a co-operation to rosier the adoption of the plurality rule. Mr. CoI,PAX. Do I undereland that if the plu rality rule should be moped, and the question about to be put by the Clerk, and even if you were aware of the fact that therein an overwhelm ing vote to end this embrogno, would you resist it to the end of this Congressional term f Mr. Lennie, of Mississippi. The resolution com mits us to no such thing. As to whether that is my purpose, tho gentleman will ascertain when the contingency shall arise. There is this differ ence between the circulation of the Beath:milts of the Helper book by the Republicans, and by Southern men : We commend the book to public execration, and you recommend it to public eon& dance and support. Mr. VALLANDLOiIin, of Ohio, saki ho was one of tho number who, after due coneideration, had ar rived at the belief that the plurality rule is un constitutional. Su long as tho resolution proposing it shall be inbistod upon out of order, he would ro 'sin it by all parliamentary. nmehinery. Dot when it was offered in order, and consistently with the rules, then, so far as ho was individually (=corn ed, after exhausting all legitimate debate, be would comma that there should be a vote on the resolution. The paper was presented to him, but he respectfully declined signing It. Me was an swerable to his oonstituents alone. Mr. Peßouttrox, of Ohio, oonourrod In the opi nion of Mr. Vallandighem, bellevipg that it was the opinion of the Northwestern Denworacy. Mr. CLARK, of Missouri, declared that honorer would consent to vote on the plurality rule. Mr. COLFAX. Will you allow the clerk to put the question, " aye or nay ?" Mr. CLARK. I will resist it by every expedient known to the laws of the land. I mean what I say. Mr. STEVENSON, of Kentucky, inquired whether Mr. Seward did not recommend the Helper book, and whether Mr. Seward was the candidate of the gentleman from Indiana for Om Presidency? Mr. Couvax was understood to soy that be did not know whether it would be Mr. Seward or any body else. Mr. &MUNSON asked whether, if the Republi• cans should nominate an endorser of the Helper book, he would'roceive the support of that party ? Mr. Courax. Unqueationably ho will. Mr. STEVENSON. Then, you become an endorser of the Helper book. Mr. Cubt'AX, alluding to a former part of the debate, said that Mr. Lamar labored under a tole. take as to the language' he (Mr. Colfax) used. Wo take the ground that there is nothing legitimately In order till the election of Speaker, and when ho is installed I am ready to give my views on the Helper boo's. Up to the present time I have not road a solitary page of it. I am in the habit of acknowledgina.' fesponsibility for my own acts, not for the gentleman on the other aide. Mr. 13 augsnaue. understand yois to say that thoonlyquestion Nordin is the election of Speaker. I ask you whether, at the commencement at the Thirty-fourth Congress,you did not vote for roses Naomi having direct reference to the qualification for Speaker? Mr. COLPAx. That was done by cowman eon sent. I bare heard the gentlemen say they will resist An election by the plurality rule, and that, in the event of a certain man being elected to the Presidency, they will secede from the Union with out waiting for the overt act. I sin accountable to my constituents. If either Mr. Sherman or myself expresses our sentiments, it will not be on compulsion or demand, but because we see fit to do so. The people will see that the gentlemen here are not willing to confine themselves to legitimate moans, but, in their extremity, have thought it necessary to bare wrilten 'agreement, with the names of menthol attached M it, lb order to pro. vent the majority of this Mouse expressing their sentiments one matter of vital concern Mr. Kinvr, of South Carolina, wished to say that on one occasion, when a motion was pending to expel John Quincy Adams, and would have passed by a majority, ho (Mr. Adams) spoke for six or seven days, saying he would never let a vote be taken on the resolution, but would yield for a motion to lay it on the table.

We aro wil. , ling Loreto as to whethor the plurality rule is con stitutional or not, or whether tt shall not be adopt ed, knowing, as we do, that there is a ittaiwity for it, including several who have not thus fir voted for Mr. Sherman. Mr. BURNETT. Are not the Republican members for Mr. Sherman first, last, and all the them? Cries from the Republican Aldo—No! nu! never. Mr. Cox, of Ohio. I ask the gentleman if it be not possible to elect a Speaker front his own party, and one, too, who has voted for Mr. Sherman, and elect him by a majority, and thus at once produce au organization.

The author of the Buckeye Abroad (Mr. Cox) In not the man to arraign Inc for anything I have done, unless ho will inform us who on this able hots willing to vote for. Mr. Cox. I vote for none of you. Mr. COLFAX. If he is not willing to yobs for any Republioan, he should, in accordance with the KansrufNebraska act, which he approves, allow us to settle our own " domestio institutions in our own way"--(Laughter.] Mr. Cox. Subject to tho Constitution of the United States. [Laughter.) Tho House should elect their Speaker in a proper and constitutional way. Ido not interfere with the family affairs of the Republican party. Yesterday my colleague ' (Mr. Hutchins) lectured tho Democracy for the non•organisation, and tried to place the onus and odium of not organising upon us. I now declare that it is possible for the Ropublicans to elect a conservative man in their own party, vrhorn I have named It is not denied but that some one who Is more oonsorvativo than Mr. Sherman, and who is not in the same Helper boat with these gentlemen, can bo elected, and that, too, by a majority of this Rouse, Mr. COLYAX. We support Mr. Sherman ho e/LUSO we believe he receives the largest number of votes which can be polled. He said the Constitu tion authorizes the various States of the Union to elect Repreeentatives to Congress, end in com pliance with the Constitution the Representatives eat hero to•day. Every gentleman who site hero Is elected, not by a majority but plurality. There Is only one State that requires a majority, (Rhode Island) ; and if no choice is made on the first trial, the second elects by plurality. It was, therefore, far-fe,tehed to say that the House must elect a Span er by a majority. • A earned. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE HARRISBURG, January 19 SENATE.

Tho latest accounts do not confirm the statement that the Congress would not be held, but on the contrary, fix the meeting for the 12th of February. The London Times, in en editorial, sap that the present appearances Indicate that the contemplated European Congress will not take place, and argues that the position of England In such a case will be so much better. It sap that in the event of no Congress being held, all that will then remain will be to reorganize the Central Italian States which has been formed out of the Romagna and the Duchies, either as an independent Kingdom or as part of the Sardinian Monarchy—to take our stand on accom plished filets, and leave the Pope and his supporters to their remedy. The Daily Aries remarks that the proposed Con• greet is indefinitely postponed, and that no friend of the eause of freedom in Italy need regret the temporary difficulty in which diplomacy finue itself, es every month gained confirms the liberties of the Italian States and justifies their revolution before . . the world. The Paris correspondent, writing on the let of January, nays it was then reported In Porte that the Congress would be eumtnoned for the end of January, but the exact day was not known.

To the StoeLhoUrrs of the Pe. , usyfrania nai/Todd Co At the Initanze of several of your number, I am induced to statojon tome of the reason' that in duct:iced the of directors—under the au thority vested in them at your last annual meet ing—to select the route to the Delaware river via PIIIA3 and IFaahington streets. Early in their in ve,tigations of this itukeet the board atrired, I believe, at the unanimous eon:lesion that the ter minus should be at the nearest preotkable point to the business entre or the city that coati be reached by locomotive steam power, haring regard to its eon of eonetrnen'on, and the price of the large quantity of lard mini:Led for stornav of IYeatern products, and thote of the interior cf our own State, to be anhniated by the iceprort ment. daring satieted themselves that the Delaware front emelt be reached at Cailowbill street and at Washington street, by lei-motive US= power, it then became a question at which of these raints mold the terminus be made on the moat adnermege ens terms. It is true that after the lesceTal cf its shed!. from Market street, a feasible line was In gested along the centre of that street—Lull ing :Es surface to Third street, and thence descend W 3 by a steep gradient to Delimit* avenue, patsies Ruder Second and Front streets. Thence the mad might bees been continued north and math along that avenue, occupying a space of about Lily met in 0:1 the eastern side of it. This plea seettel too expeueive to be seriously ereertadeed, streets the city and the owners of properly hid referee fa cilities A hi.ih neither seeded dime:eel to eelunteer reach a terminal on the Delaware at Cs:Mer -1 bill street, a tunnel of astcertoris cost seemed to ' ea modal. Admitting, however, that the eatimato made for it by its adrozates was sufficient, it paced the outlay, and the time to be contained in erect ing disconnection with the Delaware, beyond the point that the board deemed within prudent limit!. The adoption of this line coal oily have teen justifed by a division of Its east between imli rienals who were to he personally benefited by the improvement, and the company—the former, how ever, after many meetings, did not offer to aerume any share of deceit. The re and expense of working a bug Ice with freveht trains through • tuned. could le better understood and appreciated by a visit to the Allegheny mountain and observing the opera tons through that tunnel of less than one half the length of tae one propmed fur Callowhill street. The large ram required for termite property for a terminus at the tees cf this street would, of itself, hare prevented the toed from vetatizg a large subsetirson towards conatructir.g the tunnel line. even it the . project bad received inbetential aid from its projectors and adroestem A terminal at the feat of Washington serest can be reached at an ir.cormiderable oadey of mo ney, In a short space cf time, and ample greed obtained, at a comparatively small cut, tor the transaction of the badness of the coar o any, this the route affords equal advantage with any other for a line of rails along the whole of the city them on the Delaware. The board. therefore, could net but come to the conclusion, which was arrived at with a sin e -le dis senting voices that tinder all the dirt:SIMMS, the Wehingtometreet line was better adaeted secure el the objects stage[ br a teatimes on the Delaware front, than any other within their mech. Thera who here written upon this subject seam to hare a very imperfect Idea of the object to be attained bye terminus on the I:tinware, or they are influence,' La their views be the enpeased feet a particular Mention may Lave ea their ta tercet!, or upon the interests of their neighliewheed. The plain object sought by stub a lemmas is not to bring the cars to the doers of the shipping mer chant mlthosteh this can be s fected by thet owe selected with quite as great fatuity as by any other), bat to 'geed a plasm committee of seam where redeem can be treseferred from the can to waraloseas and thence to VAN, without the oast If doable drayage, and whoa It may be stored at moderate rem, so await sale*, and shipment to o her thine The whet of such feeilitias render, it necemery that this modem shell pass directly through this city Wreaths pole; where the respeiette ail pin Wiliam end creep storage already exist.
