Platt, Demo crat, of Winming, was elected Speaker of the Senate. and Richardson L. Wright, Democrat, of Phila., Speaker of the House. The messages of President Pierce and Gov. Pollock, Will be given in full to'.our readers next week. To our ReUdeis. It is profitable to take at fixed periods a retrospect; and, resolve to wisely improve in future. The beginning of a new year is a suitable point for this purpose. Politically, there has never been a,year, in the history of our country, so pregnant with dissolving ele ments, than the past. Those, if unchecked in their development, will greatly mar The symmetry* our religions; civil and political institutions. - The past should admonish all to adopt, in future, vigilance, as their watch-word, in op posing the insi.lious machinations of those, whether in religz:on or politics, "who love darkness rather than light." No other course will so effectually' perpetuate the Union, se cure peace and prosperity to our country. In our religious, social and domestic rela tions, the previleges and bounties enjoyed should lead all to suitable and grateful -ac knowledgements to the "Author of every good and perfect gift;" - and to emplore a continu ance of His favors, and that He would incline all in future, ' "to do justice and judgement, more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice." GVN . . CAss---"Spemator," the Washington correspondent of the Ledger i refers to this great and distinguished mart in the following words : "General Cass, at a meeting of the Demo crati.3 Senators, held in caucus on Wednes day last, delivered an impressive speech, which was received with that profound at tention, always .accorded to words falling from the lips of that venerable and good man. He referred to his long - connection-with the party now in a majority in the , Senate, how steadily it had aided to maintain the Coristi tutiOn, secure the justiights of each State, and preserve inviolate the integrity of the Union. He dwelt upon the sad and distrac ted-spectacle now presented by the other po litical combinations in .the country, and as_ the imminent dangers, which fanaticism and in temperate zeal threaten to the repose arid se curity of society. He spoke of the weight of years upon him, urged upon his political friends around him the necessity, at. this cri sis, of union and harmony, to watch the corn ing events, and stand together to defend the constitution from the grasp of misguided men, Before taking his seat, he took occasion to reiterate a determination before 'expressed, that he was not, nor would he be a candidate for the Presidential chair." - Sunday Work In Mifflin cpunty, Pa., recently a justice of the peace summarily convicted a number of persons for an infraction of the Sunday law, in doing the work necessary to keep in blast the anthracite furnace of Elting, Graff & Co. The case was remanded to the Court of Com mon Pleas of the county by writ of certiorari, which tribunal, after a careful rev iewal of the facts, reversed the decision of the justice of the peace. Judge Wilson, in delivering the opinion of the Court, said that he was satis fied that the injuries consequent on the stop page of the blast of such furnaces for twenty four hours out of every seven days, would be so great andgeneral as essentially to be fatal to, the manufaCture of iron in this country, and that the act of 'Assembly prohibiting worldly employment on the Sabbath does not impose a fine for the work necessary to keep a fur nace in blast. WRITTEN VS. PRINTED BILLS.—The object of advertising is of course, to give notoriety and to attract attention. Now on an aver age, three fourths of those even who can read writing, can not dose with facility, and would therefore' passa written bill without attempting to read it, and of the other fourth not one in five would take the trouble. This IS not the case with printed bills. The dis play lines of the leading articles strike . the ,sight s ao that "heyvho runs may read," and whether one is inclined to or not, his atten tion is involuntarily az.tracted, and the object of -the advertisernent is' aocernplished. - But it is idle:to argue the subject., E very , busi mess man knows and feels the truth of what have said, and acts accordingly. ;.Knovi7Nothilitg .

One year - ago the black flag ; of the secret conclave waved•in, tliunnikin every one of these pla ces. d Washington News. WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. 1855. Correspondence of the Globe. An adjournment having been effected until Wednesday, members ' may become more placable under the Softening influences of Christmas Dinners, and be willing to give up their differences and unite in the election of Mr- Banks to the Speakership. Much as such a result is to be deprecated, he is un doubtedly the ablest man named by the op position. Fuller and his friends still labor under the miserable hallucination that• the Democrats will in the end come to his support, notwith standing the effectual quietus given to all such pretensions by the able, manly and patriotic speech of Cobb, of Georgia, on Friday. The impudence on the part of the men . who ask Democrats to, vote for Fuller is surpassed on ly by the silliness of one or two Democrats' ho give ear to their propositions. Much as the Democracy are opposed to the Republi cans and their insane attempts to spring fierce sectional issues upon the country, the gulf which separates the Democrats from the dark-lantern Know Nothings is as wide, deep and impassable. Above all, the Democracy must not be asked to reward the treachery of Henry M. Fuller with the Speakership ; he is not worth quite that price. If those who call themselves 'Southern Americans find : them selves in a bad scrape, they need not in their miseries call upon Hercules to help them, but tuust get out of it in the beia way they can.— Had they relied on the National Democratic party, the result in the House 'would bevery different: The Democrats most respectfully beg leave to be excused from relieving' them from the ruin which has so properly overta ken them. They offer no alliance with • the Know Nothings of any section, unless, purg ed of their heresies, they place themselves on the platform of the Democratic caucus, and come right into the Democratic fold. These are the terms—no fusion, no coalition with Know Nothings. I do not think the House is any nearer an organization than it was oa the day of meet- The hope of the friends of Banks to carry the plurality resolution, and thus elect him, has ttv-ice failed, and will not perhaps be tried again. , Some of the Republicans are op posed to tho adoption of the stile, and sustain their opposition by the areniment that if they have no majority• to !elect a Speaker, they have none for any prahtica'rpurposes of legis• Cation. They have made their stand on Banks, and are apparently, resolved to stick to him •to the last gasp, which resolve is by no means - comfortable to Campbell of Ohio, and a brace of other gentlemen who had not, begun to despair of their own chan ces for the Speakership. The Hon.' John R. Edie, who congratulates himself on having the especial guardianship and care'of the "great iron interests" of Penn sylvania, votes for Campbell instead of Banks, because the latter is not sound on Protection ! Col. Edie, lam told, considers this a "smart dodge," and expects by his influence, and, of course, that of the aforesaid' "great iron interests," to - bring the friends of Banks over to Campbell. They will hardly come. Had the Col. called on me, I could have given him a much better excuse for voting against-Banks. He is understood to have had, about the memorable year 1840, a particular aversion to coon skins and hard ci der. Opposition to him on that ground would have been-fair and legitimate. But the Tar-1 iff ! Where's "Tariff Andy '?" Things are I thus at a "dead lock , " among the Know Noth ing Republicans, and the legislation of the country is postponed by their personal diffi culties and differences, which is a rather bad beginning for those who boast to be, par ex cellence, the "rulers of America." MEI The opposition parties in the House are showing up their true characters. Read the following from the proceedings of that body on Thursday last • Mr. Millward, of Pennsylvania, said he had been approached by one of his colleagues, who had proposed that if he would vote for Mr. Banks,. tie (Mr. Miliward) should be made Chairman of the Engraving, or Litho graphing, or Printing Cdmmittee, and have a good thing of it. (Laughter, and cries; of "name him!" • "Who Is -he?" Mr. Millward replied—Mr. Pearce, of Pennsylvania. (Sensation. Nearly all the members rising to their feet, and much inter est manifested in all parts of the House.) Mr. Banks, amid great confusion, denied emphatically that any body had authority to offer. such a proposition from him. Mr. Pearce rose. (Cries of"order," "order," "Lets's hear him," "Down in front.") r. Pearce said he bad not been authorized by Mr. Banks, to make such a pledge to Mr. Millward, or any body else, although a:- few moments ago_he had asked that gentleman how be would like to be -Chairman of the Committee on Engraving. (Laughter. Mr. Millward asked Mr. Pearce—Did you not say, if it was not against my conscience to vote for Mr: Banks, I could 'make a good thing of it. [Laughter.] I asked you how. you replied that I could be made chairman of the Pin - ding,' Lithographing, or Engraving Committee. I asked, "How - do you know I can be made - Chairman 1" when you respon ded, -"I have just had a conversation with Mr. Banks, who said that any promise I shank! make,'would be carried out by him. Mr. Pearce-4' deny what my colleague has said. He has - misconstrued my remarks: Mr. .Millward--I could not misconstrue them..• (Great confusion, mingled with cries of "order.") Mr. Humphrey Marshall remarked that he had advised Mr. Millward to make, the expo sition. Mr. Pearee—l alluded to the 'matter mere ly in a•playfui manner, .to my colleague.— (Laughter.) • - • • Mr. Millward—l don't consider it - piny, sir. Mr. Florecce—Sr.ch a thing is disgraceful to our B,tate, and were it in order I would at once move a committee' of investigation. Mr. Millward to Mr. Pearce.—Did you not tell me that Mr. Bunks assured you that in case [ voted for him he would give me what you promised ? Mr. Pearce.—[ did nut. Mr. Miliward, emphatically.—l. say you did! Had you any conversation at all with Mr. Banks?, Mr. Giddings, his form ; prominent amid the storm, eahnly expressed the opinion that the House had enough of these proceedings. Mr. Banks.—No man has an assurance from me with regard to the formation of the Committees. I stand, if elected to the office of the Speakership, perfectly free to do what is tight and proper for nay-self, for the House, and for the country, and of that I am the judge and for doing which I would be responsible to the House and the Country. (Applause.) Mr. Tudd trusted that his colleague (Mr. Millward) would be iaorp guarded hereafter •in attacking the character of gentlemen. The Peunsylvania Delegation are independent, guided by right and truth e acting intelligently askineno pledges, and guilty of no false pre tences. Mr. Millward said he was not to be ft igh tened by being toltl he must be more guarded. He had only alluded to one gen:leman from Pennsylvania, and - that was Mr Pearce. Mr. Campbell, of Pennsylvania, remarked that he had frequently met Mr. Banks soci ally, and never heard him at any time, or under any circumstances, make -any remark which could be construed into a pledge. Mr Paine thonaht the House ought to be Obli.red to Mr. Miltward - for his revolation.— He (Mr. Paine,) had heard Mr Pearce say, that he-had assurance from Mr. Banks, that the latter would so constitute the Committee, as to taketause - of the interests of Pennsylvania. He could prove the fact. Mr. Pearce replied, that he had the assur ance that Pennsylvania interests .would be cared for: He never had it from Mr. Banks, but from hiiown colleagues. ~• Mr. English thought this a pretty family fight. _He had voted for Mr. Richardson as a man above suspicion. Mr. A. K. Marshall was perfectly satisfied that if these charges were true, they unfired Mr Banks for the Speakership. In conse quence of the absence of some members, proof cannot now be produced. Other revela tions might also be made. He desired all further voting to be dispensed with for to day ' - Mr. Colfax contended that this was not a proper-tribunal to investigate mere, idle ru mors, uttered perhaps in bar- room ; if it were he might repeat a rumer:regarding the gentle man from Pennsylvania, but which he did not believe to be true. Mr. Fuller—l wish to know what it is.? Mr. Colfox—The rumor is This—that in your opinion Mr. Whitfield, the delegate, from Kansas, is legally elected. Mr. Fuller—l know nothing about the matter, and have said nothing. It is a sub ject of a contested election, and I shall ex amine it fairly. Any rumor contrary to this is utterly false, and I shall stigmatize as "liar" any one who authorizes any such expression. Mr. Colfax, resuming, said he had remark ed that the rumor was doubtless untrue, and mearly alluded to - it now to show how futile such charges were. He believed other ru mors would prove alike fallacious. There was no reason for the voting - to be suspend ed. Mr. Whitefield, delegate from Kansas—l ask for no pledges. 1 stand on the justice of my cause. Mr. A. K. Marshall stated that his object in moving a suspension of the voting was to afford time for reflection. He did not refer to mere rumors, but to direct charges of which there was abundant proof. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, having been allu ded to, said that no member of Congress had ever approached him, demanding pledges dnricg the time he was voted for as a candi date for Speaker. He would have kicked such out of his room. Mr. Washburn, of Main, did not want dark insinuations, but wished to understand the charges made. He defended Mr. Banks. Mr. Kunkle, of Pennsylvania, said the Pennsylvania delegation had neither asked nor received pledges from Mr: Banks. Here the episode ended and the House pro ceeded to another ballot. TAKE NOTICE.
