Washington News.
lArnsurNaToN, Feb. 5, 1856.
I need not inform you that at last we have
op.ealr.er. 'The intelligence gnne with
lightning speed to the remotest corner of the
country, and ere this everybody almost who
'takes an interest in public affairs is aware that
Hon. Nathaniel P. Banks, of Massachusetts,
is Speaker of the thirty-fourth Congress. He
may thank certain "twelfth section" Know
Nothings, who professed to be his uncom
promising opponents, and who did oppose him
through eight long and weary weeks, for his
sudden elevation from the "slough of despond"
to the Speaker's Chair. The Democrats
were resolved not to permit the adoption of
the plurality rule so long as it was certain
that Mr. Banks would be chosen under its
operation, and at the opening of the session
on Friday they voted it down. During the
day resolutions declaring this and.that mem
ber duly elected Speaker were offered and vo
ted upon. These were, "feelers." Mr.
Banks' strength was ascertained to be 102,
votes, whilst the resolution declaring, Mr.
-Aiken (derv.) Speaker received 103, Mr.
Whitney of New York, one of the "scat
tering," changing his vote to Mr. A.
under the erroneous impression that the
change would make an election. The chan
ces appearing to be equal, or slightly in fa
vor of Mr. Aiken, the Democrats yielded to
the plurality rule on Saturday and got beaten
—Broom and Fuller of Pennsylvania, and
Clark and Whitney of New York, whose
votes for Mr. Aiken on Friday had influenced
the Democrats to consent to the adoption of
the plurality rule, throwing away their, votes
and permitting Mr. Banks to triumph.—
These gentlemen, from the best light before
me, cheated their Anti-Nebraska constituents
at home.- They have just balanced their po
litical account by cheating the Democrats in
Congress. I should not wonder if they were
to ascertain, when the next Congressional)
ejection takes place, that they have cheated
themselves.
Great interest was manifested by the' pub
lic in the proceedings of Saturday. The gal
leries were packed to their utmost capacity
and the "closing scene" was quite brilliant.
Hundreds of lapies, were present, many of
them evincing the highest interest in the con
test. One was heard to declare that she
"would die if Gov. Aiken was not elected,"
whilit others gave.vent to• enthusiastic ex
pressions in favor of Mr. banks. But the
feeling both in and out of Congress is really
excellent. I don't think the Union will
''slide" this year.
Gen. Cullom, of Tennessee, was run through
for Clerk yesterday at • a killing pace. The
oMee that sought him had no trouble what
ever in. finding him. It is universally believ
ed he will accept!
Last night the anti-administration mem
bers had a caucus—Col. Edie, of Pennsylva
nia, who appears to be Caucus Crier for that
side, having given the necessary • notice.—
The object was to nominate candidates for
the various offices yet to be filled. Morris,
of Philadelphia, was nominated for Postmas
ter; Evans, of this city, for Sergeant-at-Arms;
Darling, of New York, for Doorkeeper; and
Follet, of Ohio, for Printer. . A number of
members favorble to the nomination 'of Na
than Sargent for Printer, withdrew from the
caucus.
If you, have any "weakly" Lutheran, Ger
man Reformed, Unitarian, Congregationalist,
"Blue Stocking" or "Hard-shell Baptist"
Clergy-men in your region, send them here
immediately. My reason for making this
request is because a strong effort is being
made to convert the halls of Congress into a
Hospital for weakly Clergymen, and I can
find no clause in the Constitution entitling
Methodist Clergymen to all the benefits of
the institution. HUNTINGDON.
WASHINGTON, FEB. 8, 1856-:
Since the completion of the organization of
the House, the spectacle in that end of, the
Capitol is really humiliating—lt is said there
are over five hundred applicants , for the forty
or fifty posts at the disposal of the officers of
the House, and lam inclined to think that
this is not an over-estimate. The rotunda
and the passages leading to and around the
hall are crowded to excess, and members and
others who have "the privilege of the floor,"
have to fight their way in and out.,. Not on
ly are men there endeavoring to get appoint
ments for themselvec, but mixed up with the
crowd are women, who tell sorrowful "tales
and beg with tearful eyes for the appointment
of their boys as pages. The tears of some of
these women is unquestionably genuine,
whilst those of others are just as certainly of
the crocodile sort. Of the men who are seek
ing places, many are meritorious, no doubt;
but a large number of them live on just- such
crumbs as they are trying to pick up here,
and would feel insulted if asked to go to
work. One of the numerous unsuccessful
applicants to the anti-administration caucus
for a nomination has been here seven months,
and he seems to think that, in view of the
time and money he has spent, a great wrong
has been done him 'by his rejection. I give
the caucus credit for throwing him out. Af
ter loafing seven months, it will.do him good
to get to work.
Hon. George M. Dallas, our new Minister
to England, has been here some days, con
ferring with the President and Secretary of
State, preparatory to his departure for the
scene of his mission. Mr. Buchanan will
await Mr. Dallas' arrival in- London, after
which he will proceed to Paris and spend a
couple, of months on the continent. He may
be expected 'home about the first.of May.
There is no concealing the critical nature
of our relations with Great Britain, and it is
fortunate that Mr. Buchanan, whose man
agement of the Central American question
IS warmly eulogized by every distinguished
statesman now at the National Capital, is to
be succeeded by so wise and experienced. a
diplomatist as Mr. Dallas... Unless a change
comes over the spirit of the leading men in
both. branches. of Congress, England will
hive- to, abandon her schemes in Central
America. or fight. The feeling against her is
very strong. ~ .
French, -the ,Minister appointed by
"Walker's, government," as it. is called, is
again here, endeavoring to obtain from our
Stale. Department a recognition as Nicaraguan
Minister. He may not succeed at present,
but think it certain that our government
will eventually have to recognize the Walker
government, or suspend diplomatic relations
with Nicaragua. The present government of
that country is the best it has had for many
plus, and may be reg arded as fi rmly estab
lished. Mr. Wheelr, the United States
Minister, gives a good account Of it.
The election of Printer "hangs fire" in the
House. The public printing is what typos
call a "fat take," and a number of pntlemen
evince considerable anxiety to take it. Mr.
Wendell thought he had it all right - same days
ago, but when a ballot was taken he found it
all wrong. The Speaker's Chair was the
"south side" of Sebastopol;—that is taken.—
The PrintirZb is the "north side;"—it remains
to be seen who will capture it.
Yesterday. .the House adjourned over to
Monday. This will give the Speaker time to
arrange the Committees.
A Night with the Know NothinEsi
OR ; UNCLE SAKE'S EXPERIENCE;
By HIS NEPHEW.
Thar never was a better dimmicrat than
Uncle Jake Rodgers on the yearth, allers at
tendin barbecues and speechifyins every
chance, and like the Parson, could give a
reason for the faith that was in him—he has
allers been looked up to as a sort of oracle in
perlitical matters, and noes the - history of the
.United States Bank and its orful iniquities,
the tariff and its oppressors, the distribution
of the public lands and J 1 them. measures the
old. Whigs used to try to fix-on the people so
hard. In fact,:tncle Jake was a dimicrat
from the top of. hed to the sole of his feet,
and from one side all thro' to the other, and
Aunt Nancy, his wife, was just as rambunc
,tious on the subject as himself, only a little
more so.
Now, Mr. Eastman, I don't like to expose
Uncle Jake, but the thing is so good, I'll have
to tell,yoU all about it.
Last Summer that cum' into our settlement
a nice young man, sent out, as I larnt, from
y,our place, to rpake No-Nothins, but he didn't
let us all know what he cum for at fest.—
HowsOmever, he linked in quite a lot on ?ern,
principally 'Whigs, and 1 larnt that sum on
'em intended try& thar hands on Uncle Jake.
Thinks I, old fellers, you'll be barkin' up.the
rung tree, sertin, but the fust thing, I need
they got hold of the old man, treated him,
told him that the Dimmicrats was all a jinin'
on 'em—that it warn't no Whig trick, nor
nuthin', of that sort—that the Pope of "roam"
was a cummiii? here to use,up our Govern
ment, to make preests of the boys an' nuns
of all the gals—that all the other denomina
tions would have to .cave in, an? wear crosses
and kisi the Pope'S big toe—that the No-
Nuthins ware going to stop all these evil
things—goin' to regenerate the land, and
bring things, back to the days of Gineral
Jackson—that Gov. Jackson's folks war all
fur 'ern, tooth and tce nail, and what with
one thing and another, the fust thing Uncle
Jake need he was a reglar ringtailed No
Nothin. They dun the old man at rate, and
arter it was - all over he started home, an' as
he went along his mind was full of rnisgivins,
how - could he face the ole 'omen? What
would Ginral Jackson say . if he was alive ?
How could he meet his old Dimicratic friends
agin and he suddenly recollected that The
Union, (the old watchman on the tower of our
political Zion, as be used to call your paper)
was opposed to it. All these things begin to
work in Uncle Jake's mind, till by the time
he got home he was in a powerful swivet.
He Jound Aunt Nancy a sitting up fur him,
an Uncle Jake he never was ashamed to meet
afore.
• "Well Jake, says , she, "what on yearth has
kept.you out so late to-night j" for Unkle
Jake was very regular in his habits.
"Wy Nancy, I been round—attendin a mee
tin to-nite," says be, quite hesitatin like. ,
"What-kind uv a rneetin," says she. - .
"Wy—a sort. uv parlitical rneetin," ses he,
shiverin all over, fur he was powerful uneasy
by, this - time.
"Well,'' ses she, "if you've been tryin to
hed these nn-nuthins, I aint
.got .no more to
say, fur.you couldn't be in better bisiness, fur
I - learn, that sum as,call themselves dimicrats,
have jined', em. I don't like em no how,
Jake, fur they don't cum out open an above
board, but ar pokin round at nice in alleys
and dark places_;..butA thank the Lord you
aint wun oPetn, fur no I. cquldn't live with
one on' eni to save my life. But, what makes
you ..loOk, so, - Jacob? are' you. sick : Bless
my life if you aint got a chill on you, and
your hands as cold as ice. What's.the matr
ter, Jake"
"Nuthiti much," ses Uncle Sakes "I don ' t
feel very well to-nice, ole oman, an I'll go to
')ed," so . sayin he slipt into bed, and the'old
oman arter him.
Bimeby Unkle Jake, arter tossin and rollin
about, gits to sleep, and dremt that all his
Dimiciat friends he used to be with so much
wouldn't have nuthin to do with him, and
that he couldn't no longer vote his old ticket,
for his old friends ana his old principles, and
he groaned in spirit.
Aunt Nancy waked him up, skeered to
death, an Tinkle Jake had to out with the
hole thing. Atint'Nancy jumped out uv bed
and declared she shouldn't stay thar, that a
no-nuthun couldn't cum a nigh her. Unkle
Jake 'at last told her of she would forgive him,
he'd go early an the mornin and git out of
the thing, but she told him no, she couldn't
stand him till mornin, and directly Urilde
Jake hauls on his close, and went out and
got the President and sum more on 'em to
gether, and swore he must git out afore mor
nin or kill sum body one.. 'They let him out
—and when he got loose, he sung, he shout
ed, he danced and ,capered like a boy—he
run home and like to a squeezed Aunt Nancy
to cloth; she, good old soul, was mitily riled
about it an powerfully distressed, but sealed
his pardon with a kissuf forgiveness, an let
by-gones be by-Bones.
One man soon arter hinted to Unkle Jake
that he heard he was ano nuthun, when he
pitched into the feller an like to a walloped
him to deth; - since that time nobody has ever
accused Tinkle Jake of being a no nuthin.—
Vicksburg Sentinel.
A Picture for the Abolitionists
The capacity of the African race for Self
government is forcibly illuitrated in the sub
joined extract from the Philadelphia Ledger :
"A letter written-by agentleman in Hayti
has been recently translated, giving the
gloomiest possible description of the
political, and commercial condition of , the
people of Hayti, the writer asserting that the
inhabitants are fast - retrograding into African
barbarism. A cotemporary fortifies the let
ter by showing the decline in Haytien exports
in sugar, coffee, and cotton since 1789, when
the island was a.French dependency. Some
of these statistics . we quote. For. example,
while the ,export of raw sugar in 1789 was
93,573,000 lbs., hi 1850 it 'ha totally ceased.
The export of coffee had fallen in the same
period - from 76,735,219. lbs. to 30,608,343 ;
that of cotton had declined from 76;835,219
lbs. to 664,156; while that of white
sugar, which was• 47,516,531 lbs. be
fore the island became free, had. terminated
fifty years ago. In like manner, indigo and
tobacco, which had formerly been lucrative
products to the Haytien. planter, no -longer
appeared on the list of exports.' In short,
while the exports-of , the island as a colony
had risen as high as two hundred and five
millions of francs, they had been gradually
falling since Haytien independence was de
clared, till they had now sunk as low as three
millions and a half.'? •
