THE SPEAKER.SIIIP The last accounts front Washington in dicate that the contest for the Speaker ship will soon be decided. On Friday Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, the leading Re' publican candidate, withdrew. llis friends generally transferred their vote immediately to Mr. Banks, of Massachu setts, who has since steadily gained ground and on :74aturdaY, on the thirty third ballot., reached 100 votes—thirteen less than the requisite number to secure his election. This increase of Mr. Bank's vote was chiefly owing to the action of the I'ennsylvania delegation, who had hitherto stood firm and immovarde in the support of Mr. Fuller, but on "Saturday partially receded front their position—a majority of them declaring for Banks, while the remainder adhered to Fuller. Amungthe Pennsylvanians who thus w(nt over to Banks are Mr. Todd, of this dis trict and - Mr. Robinson, of the Franklin district, with Messrs. Purviance, Covode. Ritchie., Campbell and others of westerr districts. Messrs. 10botne and Xunkel, of Pa. did not vote. The friends of Mr. Pennington also went over to Banks, with but two exceptions. The Pennsyl vania delegation having chiefly left Ful leF,' many of the Southern "twelfth sec tion" men then- came to his support, keeping his vote at about 30, It was confidently expected that Mr. Banks would gain enough on Monday dc.' Tues day to elect him, or. that the way would be opened to concentrate on a new man who eould be el acted. The friends of Mr. Fuller in his own dele , *ition adhered faithfully to hint until Saturday, when a number of them went over to the support of Banks. The' others followed on,Monday, it havin , be come,evident•that there was no probabili ty of securing the election of Fuller. ' We should greatly- have preferred his election to that of Mr. Banks, but in fi nally supporting the latter the Pennsyl vania delegation doubtless only yielded their personal preference in accordance with the dictates of duty and patriotism. TENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION The position of the Pennsylvania deb.- ! gation in Congress was clearly defined in the vote for Speaker. All the members known Arbon elected as. Americans, Wl*rs and Anti-Nebraska men voted fur Mr. Fuller, of the laitterne district, fur Speaker, except j;)/tr---Messrs. Barclay, Hickman and Grow Mr. A 11i son, originally a whip:, from the Beavcr district, ranked himself with the Itep.ith- Hearts and voted from the outset fur Camp bell. Mr. Grow, who is a democratic ~anti-Nebraska man from IVilmot's dis trict, voted for a Western man of the same stripe named Nichols. Nlr. Hick man, a democrat, who was elected from the old Whig Chester and Delawart trict by means of the Know Nothing vote,,, has fallen in with his party. and voted fur • AMERICAN CONVENTION, `Clio American party of New York is actively engaged in electing delegates to the Philadelphia Convention, N . a ickniectH on the .22d of February, for .the nomina tion of candidates for the Presidency and Viee Presidency. ' The delegates' are . said to be generally in. favor of postpo ning the nominations notil July. ,This is a wise determination and we hope may prevail. !..4pettker electn: TUE HANZAS *AR. The later particulars of the Kamm difficulties . give a very different version from that received by telegraph. The' Free State Story differs materially from the Stringfellow and Shannon revelatiods. The substance of the latest accounts is thus 'given by the N. Y. Egress: A bad fellow, Coleman, shot one Dow—the quarrel being not upon Slavery, but about a squatter claim., Coleman fled—told a terrible tale of his pro-slavery sufferings—inflamed the 'Missouri symprithisers, &c.. and in order to be rid of the prinCipal witness against Cole man, the pro-slavery Sheriff appointed by the Legislature for six years over a Free Slate people received process to arrest Brrnson.— Ffteen armed men, the Sheriff's posse. wrest ed him, and run - off with him. The same nember of Free State men, eleven with Sharp's cne with a double barrelled gun, and three unarmed, met the pro slavery men— rescued Bronson and carried him, in triumph to Lawrence—where a public meeting wa . 4 held forthwith. The Lawrence meeting ad• journed from the first to a second day—when on the butt of a rifle large numbers of Free State men signed a pledgeto midpoint their Free State laws—to beep the peace, and to arm themselves therefor. The Coleman story, as it reaches us through Missouri, is—that an Abolition tn,h bad pre viously attempted to kill ('., and would have done so, had not Dow' o s gun missed fire; and that others were engaged at the ante in (lily ing him (C.) from his land claim. Bronson was arret.red by Sheriff' Jones, as the leader of this mob. whereupon the Free Suite men rescued him hod took him to Lawrence. 'firings now stand thus : The issou_ ri-wade territorial officers are endeavor ing to enforce the laws, and the Free State men are armed for 'resistance. The excitement is great, but there has been no further bh»dshed. The Free State people were easy and quiet as to the Missourians and Gov. Shannon, and had no doubt that their rifles could take care of them, but they were apprehensive that the President would interfere and order the United States troops upon thorn, which they had not the heart to resist. The whole thing practically illustrates the ! beauties of "Squatter Soverignty," stunt' lated by the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, re pealifig the - Missouri Compromise. IT "STILL. LIVES." The Whig members of the Missouri Legislature are decidedly opposed to con sidering the Whig party deed. They propose holding a Whig, State Conven tion in Missouri, next .\pril, to appoint delegates to a Nationid Convention to nominate a Pr - esidential candidate, and call upon the Whigs of all parts of the Union to rally again under the old flag. A 1'u.0;61.; ImlKEo.—Frimeis I'. Blair, the well-known Editor of the Washing ton Wobe Gen. Jackson's Presi deney, has «•rittell a letter avowing him self a member of the Republican party: He takes strong grounds against the ex- tension of Slavery and urges the Repub licans to unite firmly in - fin effort to se 'cure freedom for Kama's. 11 DEFICIT.—The deficit in the gener al, P.O. Department for the last year it is said will not be • less than $2,500,000. The receipts from postages have greatly increased but some 3,700 miles of new road service have been opened.

A great convention of delegates from different Irish associations was held \ , in New York last week. Tho convention sat "With closed doors, but the indefatiga ble reporters for the press who were able to penetrate the secrcsy 'of K. N. con chives, managed to get an inkling of these clandestine Irish proceedings. The ob ject of the convention was to start a move nent to effect the independence of Ire land, for which they regard the present disturbed Stp3 of Europe as presenting a favorable opportunity. The sessions are represented to have been very disor derly. Many of the members were so brim full of fight,' that they seemed dis posed to anticipate - the clash with the John Bulls by having a few free fights among themselves. The upshot of' the convention is the publication of an ad dress to the Irish Race in favor of Irish Independence. Perhaps it may draw forth the thunder of the London Times, but practically it wont amount to much. This movement is just one of those ab s,urd things which have (kunvineed a large majority of the people of the U. S of the necessity of checking foreign influence and of confining the rule of our country to our native c tizens. CONGItESS Tumiay. Dee'r 4 —ln the Senate the Hey. 11. r.

Mr. Campbell of Ohio, who had received 7'i votes on the last ballot, then rose and declined being farther consid tiered n candidate. iie said that it was ob vious that it was im p ossible for his friends to succeed unless lie would perform one of two conditions. namely, to repudiate his well known principle , " on the Slavery question and Americanism, or make pledges as to the or ganization of the committees which would a mount to a sacrjlice of his self respect.

TV ELS lI'S LECTUR E.—The sec-: and lecture of the Union Fire Company's course was delivered on Thursday evening last, by WM H WELSH, Esq., of York. A large and intelligent audience was present. The lecture WllB ' ll polished and elegant pro duction, replete with eloquent passages, which elicited frequent manifestations of applause. The Democrat ,remarks of the lecture in just terms ,of praise, thnt the subject—' , The in fluence of Utilitarianism on Social and Politi cal life,"—was treated in a manner that evin ced a-perfect acquaintance with even the -mi nor points which hear upon it, as well ns the important principles of the theory which lie desired to sustain. His forcible and truly, excellent style won the esteem and admiratinti of the discriminating portion of his audience. We formerly supposed that everything con nected with the practical was dull and pros* but Mr. W.'s combination of henuty and poe try with utility completely reversed this opin ion. After comparing the condition of man kind in the earlier ages, that in the later times of blind superstition and hold chivalry, and that in the enlightened and practical present, he drew a fascinating picture of the fruits of a " , generous utilitarianism" in our own and other lands. and presented a still more eller ing,train of its future nehievementa which are reserved for the gaze of unborn generations. We have rarely been sn well pleased with a lectirre, and feel confident that we are not alone in this respect. We feel safe in insuring to Mr. Welsh an enthusiastic reception should he ever favor us with another riiitiresi*."
