The time has arrived when we most resolve to

(cal to have to any it, but the pusillatimity, the
easy yielding temper, the utter moral imbecility
of some of them, when brought into action with
their exacting, overbearing southern associates in
legislative dew, is a positive disgrace to the
=them part of this 'Union. I have never known
a mare flagrant - or Lamentable instance of it than
has been exhibited here, in this contest for the
Spsakership. The northern Democrats came here

Thank heaven there wcrelout eight of them out
of the state's twenty four to present themselves in
this pitiful plight before their continents and the
country. Bit it is further said in their decencm,
that Cobb was the party candidate. Thin was in
no sense and at no time tree. Cobb was not,
when elected, and had not been the party candi
date.. Cobb's nomination, la called, was voted .
in caucus by only forty seven, which was not near
a majority of the party in the House, and war only
agreed to as a matter of - complaisance towards
him, and he was permitted to retch his highest
vote on the first balloting., only in the same spirit
ofreompliment. • It was pretended that he was
renominated, on the Friday bight preceding his
election. Thin was not so. last as the caucus
was dispelling, John Wentworth, of Minds, called
out that he nominated Cobb, in the event , of the
plurality rule being adopted, aid this wan op.
patently assented to by some thirty perinea:
No mom of these shuffling excuses should be
listened to for one moment. The slavery pro
pogandista have gained a great triumph by steadi
near, energy, and cunning. Freedom and the
north have been detested and betrayed .by the
weakness and the paltroonay of those rap whom
her interests were entrusted. Some day this

There will be some rejection on the put of

I could name at least two nominations to import

thrown out. The confirmation of CoL Webb, of

I am happy to upon that no interruption has
occurred to the fair sad legal commercial pursuits
of our citizens abroad. Wherever out national
vessels have been shown, they have been received
with [nuked respect, and our officers have been
treated with kindness and courtesy; they have on

Under the 3d section of the act of the 34 of March
1849, the Secretary of War triterforred to the
Navy Department the Canoeing steamers, Mr the
Massachusetts, Edith, Telegreph, Alabama, Fash-.
1311, Monmouth, New Coleans,und Major Temp•
Wes. At the time of the mossier the Massachusetts
and Edith were in the Pacific ocean, on special
sereece connected with the War Departmenk the
others were at New Orleans. AU these steamers
were purchased during the war.
We are compelled to condense the remairider .
of this interesting , end instructive report. The
Secretory proceeds to give a lengthy account of
the arrangements which have been made with
various private compel:dee, for the buildiug of
steamers, ford carrying the mails—with E. K. Col
lins and his assonlates for the transoprtation of the
mail between Now York and. Liverpool; with A
G. Sloe for the transportation of the mail froM
New York and New Orleans, 'touching at Charier
ton, (if practicable,) Savannah and Haver., and
from Havana to Chapel; and with Arnold Har
ris foe the transportation of the mail from Panama
gatoria,us Oregon, to connect with the mail from
Masan to Chaves across the lethmus.
The three sea steamen under the contract for
the Panama and_Otegon bee were accepted be•
faro the clone of the year ISIS.
The eantreiors for the Liverpool line engaged with
the Department to build five steamships, of not
btu than two thousand tons measurement, for the
transportation of the mail between New York ,
and Liverpoot; the Brit of the steamships to be
ready to perform the service in eighteen months
from the date of the agreement, (let November,
1.647. The time was afterwards extended, until
June I, 1850. The Stet one, the Atlantic, is ex
pected to be ready to sail in Tannery; the next,
the Pacific, In March; two others in Aogusr, and
the fifth hay Wen connoted for.
The coutrector of the flaw Orleans and Chag.

each, to ice commanded by-an °Seer of the. Navy
of the United States, not below the grade c f a
Lieutenants and to receive on board each- four

In December last, no ship being ready, the ocean'
steamer Falcon was accepted, until others could
be built, and the has continued to tun regularly
since. Ore steamahip, l the Ohio, has since been
finished, and placed on the line, bet was not ac
cepted by the Government, because she was not
fully cOmpleted according to contract. The aria

and slaw snit is now pending; which the DepaA
meet regards an calculeted to embarrass and post
pone the Oral completion of the other vessels, it
not endanger the ultimata fulfilment of the contract
with the Government The Secretary thus gives
his views sr the policy of baking the Government
with private enterprise:
Atter a metal oonaideration of this anbknt, I
cannot • 1 etteld the cipferrtan of an cpatton ad
verse to embarking any Maher to the proposed
ooi_a a public and private means in t h is system
of ocean steamers, as calculated to promote the

present contracts have committed the faith of the
Government, and to the extent of the obligations
ender the contracts, they are of oeuce strhtly to
be regarded sad serapulcandy to be performed,
Yet, as a navy *stabbed:meet, 1 deprecate any fur

immense expenditures of public money. All must
