SENATE.—Thd Senateia•not in session to
day. '• . ,
Hons.E.—Mr.• Campbell, of Ohio,. moved
that the resolution Confining the debate tii - ten'
minute speeches, be , suspended; till Wednes
day,,un less otherwise ordered.. -
The reason, he gave -fur this.mation was'
that the candidates for the Speakership will.
find it jrnpossible , to7define• their-positions in
accordance with:Mr.• Z:ollicoffer's resolution;:
adopted yesterday, within ,so.short a space.
He offered for the use of candidates a scrap
book, containing -all- the party .platforms for
the last twenty years; also the ancient plat-• ,
forms, the_ Constitution and Declaration of,
Independence. He would - also present them
the Bible, had 'it not been removed from the
Congressional library in order - to make room
for the works of-Eugene Sue. [Laughter.]
A. debate- ensued ) in which severalmem
bersexpressed their opposition to turning the
House into a debating.socioty, and opening a
boundless-sea of debate.
Richardson .thought he: .could get
through his part of the performance under the_
ten minute rule, and Mr. Campbell ; at his re-.
quest, withdrew his motion to rescind it.
Mr. Humphrey Marshall suggested that the
batches of interrogatories to the candidates be
filled, and that the candidates should reply in
printed publications at their leisure.
Mr: Richardson replied to the series of
written interrogatories propounded by _Ar.
Zollicoffer, and, commanded the marked at
tention of-the members and of- the -audience
thronging the gallei ies.
Mr. Richardson said that in ynting
,for the
Kansas-Nebraska bill, he intended the: people
of the territories to decide the question of
very themselves, and he would admit them as
States with orwithout l slavery. He,had said
that slavery.would not go there, but `re nev
er urged that as a reason whybe voted for the
bill.. As to the constitutionality of the,Wil
mot proviso, he voted for the principle_appli,
cable to the Mexican acquisition, • in - a' spirit
of cornpromise,tuvit would be,unjust to in
corporate it in a territorial bill. „In his judg
ment, the constitution does riot carry slavery
in-to the territories, but it protects both sec
lions, of the country alike.
There was much squabbling as to the nit.-
der of proceedi44, and it was fina:ly-decided'
that all-the candidates should answer Mr.
Zollicciffer's queries before others were pro
pounded.'
Mr. Banks.was then called out, and-mem
bers drew up their chairs around him: ,'He
did - not feel obliged, he said, to answer the
q nest icins. He-had xrcit -solicited , the support
of any,, He said of his friends as Othello said
of his wife, "They had eyes, and'. they chose,
me." He distinctly. remarked,. that he did
not,regard the Kansas- bill as promotive of - the
formation of Free:•States; He believed in
the constitutionality'of the Wilmot Proviso;
but did not beheire that the constitution car
ries slavery into the territoties. He recogni
zed the right Of the protection of property at
the North and South alike—but 'not property
in man:'• He believed the constitution an in,
strninent of fieedom, and Congress wrong-in
tepea:ing the Missouri Compromise: 'Ap
plause fiorn the Republicans; and 'confusion,
with toe Mr: Ftiller.]
Mr. Fnlier said he was ready at'any time
to retire from this field of protracted contest:.
He did not regard: the Kanias - bill a . s.',4joino- .
live either of „flee or_ slave States,, and had
never advocated tho- cmistitutienalitv of the
tVilrrtot Proviso - . Slavery exist's ' indepen
dently of . the constitution. Cringress, there
fore had no right to legislate slavery' into or
out of the territories,: and only the right to
legislate so','far as' to protect the citizens in
the enjoyment
_Of their.preperiy. _
Mr. Pennington was then called
:He said hehad no idea so obscbre and
unpromising a candidate as himself would be
required to define his poittion. - He was opt.

respectfully declined fo make a' reply, but

Mr-Barksdale—l treat- it with scorn and

Mr. Richardson replied.negativelr to , Mr.
Barksdale's query ies,.excepting
Mr. Banks, in answering Mr. Parksdale's
interrogatories, Prefer - id doing - so in his own
way, leaving gentlemen to draw their own in
ferences: He•was nominated' by . - Disiriocrats
and Americans, p.l.te . latter being the larger
portion in his district,) and by them elected.
He referred to the records. of last year for his
views on ~the Tariff... — ]ate :had Adopted the
maxim of 'Junius— "ft is unfortunate.for a man
to . spend any considerableportiOn:a hislirce
in -commenting .oti hisown 'work:"' (Lasigh-
'ter.) As to the .eqUality of 'the White and black
races, 'he believed, in the languaga Of the De-
Claration of Independence, that AU mpri
. were
created equal. ' He. had adopted the idea that. i
the -weaker - race . *ill be' absorbed the
stronger—that was ,uni.versa4 - lat.v;but wheth
er the white or the black race was surierio r ' I
he would. wait. for the full developtherit-of
the future. (Laughter, and cries of "geod")
As to the' other questions propounded, - they
were subordinate to that of prohibiting sla
very in Kansas. He would not ask any man I
w hat. he thought of. this or that measure, but
wotild Unite, with all .to- interdict slavery in
the Territories. .
Mr. Fuller answered that he was notinfa
vor of the restoration of the Missouri restric
tion, and was opposed to the abolition o f s i n .
very in the District of Columbia.' He - did not
believe in the equalitya the white'and bleak
races. - He thought with Washington, that
,
the best policy of the government was, to
point native-born citizens to Office in prefer
ence. to., those of foreign birth. He- would
'proscribe no man for his religion, but would
accord:to al/ the largeitliberty of Opinion.-- ,
He did . .pot desire, to exclude foreigners

. them to,set

Shall we have War
Notwithstanding the people of this eonn
try and Great Britain are decidedly averse to
war, and dread it as a great calamity, we
cannot disguise the - fact that the relations
subsisting between the twp Countries at prey=
ent are, of such a delicate_ and complicated
character that nothing but a very speedy set
tlement of the difficulties canprevent.a. rup
ture., : PisaStrotis•.as war would be tp the
corn. rilercial interests of the United States, and
horrible and unchristian as it is under almost
anfeircumstances, yet our- human nature •is
such that we cannot endure,much longer the
wrongs and insults, the threats and gibes of
England. The news. from Washington is
that our government has determined to dis
miss the:BritiSh minitter, if he should noLbe
recalled—and. ,that the British government
has determine, in that case, to refuse all dip
lomatic intercourse with us. If this news be
reliable, though. not in itself a cause of war,
it is certainly a long step towards it—and,we
trust that our government is making every
preparation Wean to meet such an emergency.
If we are to have a third war, with our an
cient adversary;: all the energies of the na
tion should 'be put forth to meet .it ;and it
should never close until the.supremacy , of one
or the other power is,settled beyond -dispute
—until our ability to maintain the. Monroe
doctrine by--arms is made manifest to the
world.'
Great Britain has a: powerful fleet. What
of it'? We have .the means:to build one.—
She might, at the commencement, bombard
some of otrr Atlantic citiesin the end might
we not retort:on Liverpeol, Southampton and
other cities approachable 'by our navy? • She
is old arid weighed down by corruption-and
debt. We are young, vigorous and rich.:- 7 :.
In these respects'we are . superior to her--in
all others we ar:3, 'at least, - her 'equal. Irk
such a war jastiee would be on, our side,.
and we should have nothing . to fear. Let'us
avoid it, if, We can do so' with honor; but if
we are fOreed into it," let not the sword be
sheathed until)
,every vestige of Great'Brit,.
aiit's.pewer io erth 'grid central America
shall he swept awgy,
; We believe—supposing both goveromerde
to mean what they say—,that the danger of
war is imminent; and we trust that •when the
storm does burst upon us, we shall, be prepa,
red to meet it, and to show Great Britain- r 7%
or Great. Britain and France combined, if the
alliance should hold in our case—that in a.
contest for right we are able to meet and. beat
back pot only the armies of the alliance, but
of all Europe combined. , ,-Pnfria l t 41,

At LETTER FROM THE WEST.
MADISON, Wisconsin, Tan: sth, 1806.
-•.„
Mr. Editor:
As this is an extremely cold day—too cold
to attend to out door business, we have con
cluded to spend cm; time:in writing letters.
Among others we .have concluded to drop a
few lines to our old friend the Globe. It is
now about three months since„ we left the
Old Keystone State, for the purpose of trying
our fortune in - the West. During that time
we have traveled considerable, in the several
States of Michigan, Illinois, lowa, and are
now engaged in making a short tour through
Wisconsin. The weather has been beautifol
throughout the western States during the fall
and winter, with the exception of the last ten
days, during that time it has been extremely
cold in this State, the thermometer has been
ranging at from 15 to 22 degrees below Zero,
excepting New Years day which was quite
pleasant. Frozen ears, noses, and fingers are
quite numerous here, and we have heard of
several cases of persons being frozen to death:
We have about six inches of snow here which
makes fine . The snow , is said to
be . two feet deep fifty miles north of this.
,We are informed that it has been unusual
l,y. healthy in the West,. this fall and winter,
but it is very difficult to get at the truth on
this subject, the inhabitants of every town or,
neighborhood we have been in represent
theirs as the. healthiest, and they .are very
ready to tell how unhealthy it is in other
places. We haye - eoncludeil" that the only
way to ascertain the truth, is to remain in a
place long enough to decide from actual ob
servation.. Porsons.cornicg to the west from
the eastern or middle States are almost cer
tain to be afflicted with some one of the ills
peculiar to the Western country ; until they
became acclimated, of this we are satisfied
both from inquiry and actual experience.—
We were taken sick of a western malady, the
Chill Fever, about a month sinpe at Dixon,
Illinois; we thought it a pretty «hard road to
,tray.e:," but by care we got-over it io about a
'fortnight 4.hd are now enjoying as good health
as usual. '
All kinds of provisions and feed are very
high-here. Wheat is selling at from $1,25
to 1,40 per bushel. Corn, 50 cents; Oats, 40
cents; Pork 5 cts. per lb; all of the products
of the farm are equally high. It is astonish-.
ins
-to see the immense quantity of pork that
isbrought into market, the streets of every
tovvit and, city, that we have been in for the
Last rrictiih have, been fairly blockaded from
morning tq night with wagons loaded with
pork, and-buyers are busily engaged buying
and forwarding to Philadelphia, Isiew York,
Roston, &c. They do not take time to. pack•
it, but load the "whole hog" into the cars
and . forward them just as they take them
from the farmers'- wagon. This is "a fast
country." - We-mean the "West." Specu
lation runs high, every one seems to be doing
his best, to make money, and 'all seem to be
succeeding admirably and we presu:ne will
continue to do so as long as the farmer gets
the-present high prices for everything be can
raise, and the tjde immigration continues to
flow horn the past as it has do . rip tip to this
time. Property is advancin?. in Value very

of from five hundred to one thou Sand inhabi r
tants, especially if they have prospects or a
rail road some ..dayi we should have said
"cities," for.everY town in the west that can
muster up one thousand inhabitants is called
a city, and most of them have city charters.
Farm land is advancing in value also, many
of the old settlers in southern Wisconsin and
Illinois, are selling out and going "Jack where

Mr. Editor:
En looking over the columns of the ql9be
of Decernber 27th, 1 saw there set forth that
theie b r ad been - a great meeting of the school
directors and citizens, headed by His Excel
lency the County Superir.tendent, held in old
Tell. Now, Mr. Editor, there is scarcely a
word of truth in that publication. The truth
when all told is about thus: On the evening
in qnestion, a few of the school directors and
citizens met at the Goshorn school houge—
the evening being wet but very few turned
nut. The County SupOrgendept. was ex
pected to pass upon our teachers, and this
drew our attention. •The meetina.was or
ganized as follows: Mr. Barr moved that the
President ,of the school directors be President
of the nieeting--i--..0n calling for the vote there
was but one - vote could -be raised. Mr. Barr
then moved , that the Secretary of the school
directors be Secretary of the zmeeting- . -the
vote stood 'one for and one against. The
meeting now considered organiied, Mr. Barr
proceeded to' pass upon our teachers, and as
u was all the same "cost several of onr. young
friends who, hatluo notion of teaching, and
Made no pretension to learning, concluded
they vi:•Otild try it, and passed firstrate. . The
meetirigadjo.urned to meet again after night.
At the night Meeting - Mr. Barr took the floor
and spoke at score. length on the great advan
tages Superintendents were to the schoel sys
tem, and' that if his wages were raised the ad
vantages would be much greater to the
schools, &c., "and that .we were such intelli
gent clever • ',Oil*, full of .hospitality, &c.—
Having thuS set forth the glories of his office,
and having . shovia near - about• how much
more rooneyibislpockets would hold, Mr. B. '
took his. seat.. There were a few scattering
_remarks•made by, different individuals, such
as Mr.-B'S remarks were calculated to draw•
from. some men. The vote of the meeting
was then called for whether they would give
Mr. Barr more money, which resulted in the

January 'loth, 185.6:
Mr. Editor:
The office of Surveyor General is one of
great importance to the citizens of the Com
monwealth, as through and from it, all land
titles have been, or must be ' obtained. Its
importance demands an efficient. vvell-quali
fiecl and experienced head. Believing that
THOMAS J. REIMER, of Berks county, pos
sesses every requisite qualification for :that
position, I respectfully suggest his name for
the consideration of the fourth of March con
vention. I4r. REIMER has served in the
. 1111roYor General's Office fifteen or more
years, and during the greater part of that time j
as chief clerk. gie ;law ral ability and long !
experience combine to make him just t! he man
for the people, and the candidate to roll up. I
an old-fashioned Democratic majority.
WANTED TO- DIE.--A gentleman passing
along Liberty street, Pittsburg, late at night,
discovered a man lying on the railroad track.
Supposing him to'be drunk, he went to remove
him, when he found him perfectly sober 'and
earnestly engaged in prayer.; 'When he
warned him of his danger, the man relied
that ho was friendless and penniless, and-tir,
ed of life, and wished to lie there to be kil
led by the train. 1-je was given in charge of
a watchman.
SA-TURDAY, Jan. 12th, P. M.
Cloverseed is in fair request, but there is
little or none coming—small sales at $8,50
per 641bs.
The Flour market continues exceedingly
quiet. Shipping brands are held at $8,25 a
8,374 per barrel, but there is no export de
mand, and the only transactions are small lots
for home consumption from $8,50 to $lO for
common and fancy brands. -Nothing in. Rye
Flour or Corn Meal.
Grain—Wheat continues scarce, and held
above the views of buyers. We quote red at
$2, and white at $2,10 a 2,15 per bushel.—
Rye continues in fair demand for shipment,
and further sales of la2ooo bushels Pennsylva
nia have been made at $1,20 in store. Corn
continues to forward vety slowly—sales of
2000 bushels new yellow at 78 aBO cents.,-
Oats are unchanged—sales at 43 a 44 cents
per bushel.
