Gibson, David Lynch and Itody Patterson delegates to the Stato Convention. They are uninotructed, bat are understood to be in favor of Hon. John L. Dawson for Governor. A resolution instructing the delegates to use all honorable means to secure delegates to the Charleston Convention favorable to the nomination of Hon. Stephen A. Douglas for President, was defeated by the descisive vote of 71 to 31. The following resolutions were unanimonsly adopted. The democracy of Alleghany Co.. merit the highest praise for the bold and un- quailified manner in which they have re-af firmed the time honored principles of the democratic party, aud endorsed the National and nought is heard wkhout save the hoarse said Damphool "and if yon wasn't drunk I'd break your head for your pains."

I 'COXGRESS. The proceedings of the Houso on last Fri day were. very exciting. At the commence ment of the ballot for Speaker, but little doubt was entertained that Hon. W. X. n. Smith of North Carolina, an old line Whig, would be elected. However, several mem bers who had previously voted for him deser ted him on this ba Hot, and there was no choice. The voto stood as fellows : - Whole number of votes, 22S Necessary to a choiee, 115 Mr. Smith, N. C . 112 Mr. Shrraan, 106 Mr. Corwin, 4 Scattering, 6 All the administration, and nearly all.lht anti-Lecompton democrats voted for Mr. Smith. Of course. Hickman and Schwartz of this State, voted with the Black Republi cans. After the announcement oflhe ballot, the House adjourned until Monday. Several f Mr. Smith's friends stated while the ballot was being taken, that he was not a member of the Know Nothing or American party and that he was apposed to its principles. It is highly probablo that he will be elected during the present week. He is an able and conservative statesman, and his election would be a brilliant victory over the Disuoionists The Black Republicans will probably with draw Mr. Sherman aid unite on Hon. Thorn aa Corwin of Ohio, or Hon. William Pen ningtoa of New Jersey. - There is an interesting fight going on just now in the opposition ranks, between the Cameron and anti-Cameron men. The Cam eron men confidently anticipate that they will have a large majority in the State Con vention, and are therefore in tavor of its ap pointing the delegates to the Chicago Con vention and instructing them to vote for Cameron. The anti -Cameron men contend that the delegates to the Convention should mon defense, and promote the " general welfare We, therefore, condemn the teaching and practice of those who entertain the doctrine of 'an irre pressible conflict," between the North and the South, and hold them responsible for the present discord which is agitating the political and busi ness relations of the country. Resolved. That in our estimation, the recent sanguinary invosion of a neighborin g State, by a band of infuriated and t anatical enthusiasts, was but the legitimate consequence of the open hos tility expressed by the leaders of the Republican party, against Southern institutions; we tnereiore put ousbtlves upon record, as being inexorably opposed to those who, for political success, incul cate doctrines subversive of the Constitution and the Union. Resolved, That we further disapprove of all attempts to alieuiate the South from the North by interference with Southern institutions, because such interference leads to the breaking up of the international trade between the citizens of the sever! States, a trade which has been a source of vast profit to Pennsylvania, and because anv in tcrruption of that trade must seriously interf ere with the market for the great staples of our com merce, viz: coal, iron, glass, and other products of our manufactones, that give employment to thousands, that confer wealth and prosperity upon our cities, and secure a market for the pro duce of the farmer. Resolved, That James BucLanan, as President of the United States, ha9 not only proved him self what we always believed him to be, a states man, a patriot and an honest man, but by his determined and resolute stand, in maintaining inviolate the true principles of the Federal Con stitution, and the rights, under it, of the several States, deserves, and will receive, the approbatiou of all friends of the American Union, who desire that our great confederacy may continue unbro ken, and increase in strength, prosperity and power for all time to come. Resolved, lhat we recognize it as a cardinal principle of the Democratic party that "it knows -v o ii. r. w' l no or vii, uu oouiu, no a-isi, no est iu iuc benefits that flow from, and the protection to be secured under our constitution and laws, to the several pa-U. and to the whole of our common country. Resolved, That we are in favor of an economi cal administration of the General and State Gov ernments, and of encouraging domestic manufac tures by a repeal of the Republican TarifTof 1S57 and a restoration of the Democratic Tariff, modi fied by the substitution of specific for ad valorum duties as recommended by President Buchanan. Resolved, That ueither the deluded followers of Brown nor his traitorous instigators, nor all the combined cohorts of abolitionism, can deter a faithful Democracy from a faithful discharge of all their constitutional obligations. Resolved, That among the many eminent gen tlemen mentioned in connection with the next The candles are all out in.E- and the god of sleep is silently waving hi wand over all its inhabitants; not1 all, for seS A liht still streams from yonder easement. Within that room the perturbed Soul of some mortal hath not yet sought repose in sleep. - We. will ap proach the window softly and behold who it is. CHAPTER VIII. Mordecai, Glancing into that room, a tallow candle discloses a strange scene to our gaze. Seated at a table, is an old man. whose locks are as white as the snow that is falling around us A dark frown rests upon his brow, and his soul is evidently ill at ease. Before him on the table, stands a square bot tle marked "Holland Gin," a small drinking glass, and a tallow candle, supported in a brass candle stick. Who is the gray hatred mattr-cp ated . alone in that chamber, -at the hour of midnight. 'Tis Mordecai, i - - See he pulls the bottle and glass towards him and takes a nip. Now his brow grows darker, and he smites the table with a mighty sound. Hark! he (peaks. "He shall die, and that too before to-morrow evening. The Sun shall not go said Mordecai in a gloomy voice. They had now reached Daropbooi's home. "You infernal scoundrel," said Damphool, as he propped himself up against the side of the house, and turned fiercely towards Mordecai, 'what have you been dogging my steps for. If you wasn't drunk I'd think it was your intention to rob me. Leave my premises immediately." CUAPTER XIII .The Return. ,Mordecai slowly returned to his room. It was now morning. I he sun was begimog to peep abqve the eastern horizon, and Morde cai listened with delight to the merry jingle of sleigh bells, the distant lowing of the herds the merry laugh of children, the twitter ing of swallows and the moaning of the cold winter wind; he was fanned with the last flut- Ietterfrom Tafaington.

If you recollect the campaign of 1840, you will remember an old story which went this way; "Oh what has caused this great coiuiuo tion, commotion. All the country through; A". - The rest as Hamlet says of an old proverb is somewhat rusty; now what has caused the present commotion in the country? First the invasion by fanatical old Brown upon the right of a Sovereign State, and an atttmpt to carry the real teaching of the "irrepressible doctxiutt" of Seward by lie rush of guns and pikes. Second the offical endorsement of the Helper Book by sixty odd Republican mem bers of Congress; a book calculated to inocu late into the mini of the youth of our coun try, certainly not into the hearts of the adults of the cation who should have a better spirit, a bitter, unendlcss and malignant hostility again6t'our Southern brethren.

CHAPTER XIV. "Mordecai," said Bitters, 'Tm dying." "I hope not," replied the kind hearted old man, and as he utteted the words be glanced at the bottle out of which Bitters had been drinking. "Good gracious! Bitters," he ex claimed, "you have made a fearfu 1 "mistake; this is tangle-foot. "Then," said Bitters, "it 13 all over with me, I'm a dead man." Bitters drew a fine brass ring from one of his fingers, and handed it to Mordecai "You know Katarioa; give this to her. I told her when she presented it to me, that I would never part with it while I lived When she sees it she will know that I am dead," Bitters proceeding of the lower House of C-ngrcis, and so far as an orgaoizitiou has been iuipos sible. Southern men will not tamely submit to the indignity that Sherman the uudcrta ker of a a work which would deva-tate their homes with blood and carnage, aud place the knife at the throat of themselres, their wires and children sould be the Speaker of the most deliberative assembly in the world Northern men look, upon it a detrimental to the state of Society, revolutionary to the Union and equality of the States, and preg nant with inconceivable evils, that the endor ser of such treason' should fill c high a position. Yet the conflict - goes on. The Republicans will not yield, although they could elect Carrier, Pennington or K. Joy Morris. They seem determined to stand up on the "hazard of a die," and therefore delay the organization when they hare it iu theirpow er to fleet, aud for this the country sho'd hold them responsable.

Jolly is evidently determined not to assist in keeping truth in the dark. With regard to the tar iff, we beg leave to inform him that the Country prospered under the Tariff of 184G, and that it was repealed by a Black Republi can Congress. President Buchanan is the advocate of a Tariff which will afford ample protection to the great industrial interests of the Country, as his roassag 8 bo Congress fully prove. The democratic party always has been, and etill is, the advocate of the doctrine of popular sovereignty, and we deny that in this or any other matter, it ever "breathed the word of promise to the ear to break it to the hope." It has never changed its princi ples, tod sever fiiled in redeeming all itg pledges. - -n Z3T James C.

Wherefore that fear- I closed hn eyes as he uttered these words, and J hope by selecting a new man, without the stringency of caucuses, the Southern opposi tion, and the Anti-Lecompton Democrats would vote for him But, so far, this has proved a "dead cock in the pit," as no con centration of these discordant elements could be made upon a Democrat.'and rice rera. Repeatedly I have been upon the floor of the House and there, and in other quarters, have urged and suggested to members the propri ety of renominating a Democrat standing fair and square up for a member of the party, as an unit. And why? Because the Republi can members were elected in opposition to the Because the Southern opposition were elected against the Democracy upon what they style the cor ruptions of the Administration, and because our Acti-Lecompton friends were elected agnnst the Administration upon one issue alone. Here then are the parties, elected against the Democracy, and all opposed to them, aud as I hold, should the Democrats stand fair for their nominee, they place the responsibility upon the opportunities for the non-organization of the House. I am not one of tLoe men who say auht against any member of the party for differing upon a siogle point of doctrine. I hold that it is right that there should be va riances of opinions in the camp, because it is Democratic and tends to keep alive the spirit of the party. Therefore I am not disposed, and never was, as my acquaintance will bear me record, to exclude any man from tne organization, and while I sti?fnatiza the de- u CHAPTER IX.
