Ion" writes as follous Jo the Baltimore Sun:
All parties seem now to be very obstinate. The
Whigs will not give way. The triends of Mr. Cobb
are determined to stand. The Free Soilers gave four
teen scattering voles, and at least nine of them will i
petrify into marble, like the columns by which they
are surrounded, uciore they will vote lor a man rep-
resenting the slaveholdiug interest.
The Southern Whigs who receded from the Whig
caucus voted for Mr. Gentry. They vrere Messrs.
Stevens, Toombs, and Owen, of Georgia; Morton of
Virginia; Cabell, of Florida, and Hillianl, of Alaba-
ma. They have no personal or political objection to Mr
Wiuthrop, but they demand guarantees on the slavery
question. Mr. Toombs had a little personal collision
with Speaker Winthrop at the close of the lato session
callin? him a despot but that has nothing to do

revious.ro the l.:sl ballot
Mr. Jo'iiiiaon moved n resolution that ine House
proceed to dctermino tho election of Speaker by a
plurality vote insfead'of a majority.
Mr. J-said ho was aware that the proposition de-
parted from tho established custom. So far as cus-
tom was concerned, he wassatisfied that good woiWd
result from it, he for one was willing to depart from it.
Congress had assembled here to dip-itch the public
business, and they had been here two days and this
was the third day and had had fourteen balloting,
and thero was still no electiou of Speaker, and uo
prospect of an election.
If a Speaker was elected by a plurality, it would
answer all useful purpo-es. lie believed that they
could not obtain an election except by the adoption of
the resolution. He was willing, therefore, to depart
from the general rule, however good it was, to obtain
an organization of the Honso. Wo are a disorganiz-
ed body, and mu-t continue so, to the detriment of the
public interest, if the mojority principle be insisted on.
Ho had no particular design iu offering the resolu-
tion. Ho wished lo obta'n on election of Speaker that
they might progress with the public business. He
over anu over again.
Mr. Holmes observed that it was a good thing, so
far as legislation was concerned, to adhere to the
principles by which the constitution was framed.
That constitution was created by the majority princi-
ple, by tSie States. It was framed by concurrent
majorities; firtt iu the convention of States, which
showed how careful the franiers of the constitution
were, tniat they should uot entrust to any department
under the constitution, or to the people iu their prima-
ry capacity; so far as legislation was concerned; any
thing to mere pluralities.
Washington, Dec. G, 1849.
Senate. The Senate met at 12 o'clock, and after
the rcadiug of the journal adjourned.
House of Representatives. Mr. Alston, of Alaba-
ma, Whiff, appeared in hi seat to-day.
The House met at 12 o'clock. Tho journal of
yesterday was read.
Mr. McClernand, of Illinois, submitted a resolution,
which was read as follows, viz:
Resolved, That the rules.of the House of Repre-
sentatives, as they existed at the close of the last sess-
ion of Cougreos, be adopted, so far as they are appli-
cable for the government of this House, until other-
wise ordered.
Resolved, further, That Linn Boyd, of Kentucky,
be, and he is hereby appointed and requested to act
as Chairman of this House, with power to presrrve
the order thereof, as far as conformable ' to the rules,
until a Speaker shall have been elected.
Mr. McClernend explained that the resolu-
tionin the first place was designed to obviate
that confusion and difficulty which must exist
with all legislative bodies in conducting business
when in a disorganized state. It is properly
said that order is Heaven's first law; it certain-
ly should be the first law for any deliberative
body who wish to establish decorum in conduc-
ting its business.
It was only by the greatest forbearance yes-
terday that order was preserved when the two
propositions were introduced to terminate the
contest for the election of Speaker. The House
cannot rely at all times upon the courtesy and
forbearance which govern the action of the mem-
bers. Yesterday the first resolution was inten-
ded to obviate the difficulty.
The second branch of the resolution was de
signed for the appointment of a temporary
chairman a chairman who was to preserve or-
der merely, and enforce the rules proposed to be
adopted. " He scarcely need state to this body
that the only authority which the Clerk had to
act w-as derived from the consent and courtesy
of members
There was no order authorizing tho election
of even of that officer. The first day on which
Congress assembled nnder the new constitution,
of which a quorum was formed, a motion was
made for the election of Clerk. Since thattime
it has been the practice of the House to elect a
Clerk, and a rule was adopted to continue him
in office until his successor was appointed.
This power was now no greater than it was
at the last time. He posscsted no other power
than that of mere Clerk. It was therefore only
by courtesy that he was now permitted to act in
view of the difficulty and dangers which envir-
oned the House without a responsible officer to
preside.
He proposed the appointment of a temporary
chairman. Such an officer would be responsi-
ble to the House and to the people. The Clerk
was not responsible, either morally or political-
ly. In regard to the particular individual nam-
i.d in tin resolution, he would state that it had
been inserted at the suggestion of Mr. Cabell, of
Florida, to whom lie nail nameuciuiermr. ni-
ton of Ohio, or Mr. Boyd, as a proper person to
act temporarily.
Mr. Diicr said he desired to save the time of

10 (''Texas Plantation
The administration should have a fair trial
by giving them a Spnaker with power toappoin.
committees. He made some reilcctions upon the
minority, which he said were making factious
opposition to an organization. He moved to lay
the resolution on the table.
Mr. Bayly, of Virginia, asked Mr. Duer to
withdraw his motion, which being refused, he
said the proposition was debatable under the
parliamentary law. Mr. B. said it was desirable
that the proposition.of the gentleman from Illi-
nois should be adopted. The ouly objection
made seemed to be in apprehension that it was
piobable. if a temporary chairman was appoint-
ed, it would bo in effect of appointing him for
the session.
Mr. Duer meant that if he was placed there
he could not be got out from the necessary ten-
dency of the movement.
Mr. Bayly would, in reply to that, only ask.
what, in a faithful and dignified . discharge of
the duties of temporary chairman, would have
any effect to keep him there. He did not, how-
ever, think that there was any probability of
the House being compelled to thus act. The gen-
tleman named Mr. Linn Boyd, is the senior
member of the House, and it lias been the uni-
versal practice of the House to select the senior
member when a resort to such action is made,
hi the Twenty-Seventh Congress, the House on
a similar occasion, selected -Mr. Adams to pre-
side temporarily, because of his seniority, by
universal consent, and it was done on the mo-
tion of a gentleman politically opposed to him.
The gentleman from Kentucky, Mr. Boyd, was
the one, therefore, he should preside by cour-
leiw, iu consequence of his long and continuous
service asa Representative. He could see no
objection to hi-3 appointment, as he would have
nn power, except to keep order. His conduct
could not affect the administration in any way.
amend
ovd and Samuel t . mton act ns
chairmen of this House, each sitting alternately
one day at a time, until a Speaker is elcctcd."--Mr.
Evans held that this was the fairest prop
osition.
Mr. Shenck, of Ohio, offered the following as
an amendment to the original proposition, which
was accepted bv a modification thereof, viz :
'Provided thattho duties of such temporary
chairman shall be confined to keeping order du-
ring the necessary steps and proceedings for the
election of Speaker only, and shall not relate
to anv act of legislation."'
Mr. Root said he would like to see the gen-
tleman named sitting side by side, but he had a
colleague who was as old as the others: and if he
was not quite as good a soldier, hu had seen as
.much service. Since this was intended as a
peace offering to harmonize all difficulties, he
would propose to add, as an additional chairma
the name of tbe Hon. Joshua R. Giddings.
(Great laughter.) He was happy to find that
it had met with universal approbation, as was
manifested by the exceeding burst of good feel-in"-
and laughter. He was indifferent to the
resolutions, but he was willing that the gentle-
men should stand or lie down together.
Mr. Wilmot said they bad now been voting
and acting for three days, and that he had nev-
er seen more order in such an assembly. He
believed that the forbearance and good temper
of the House might be relied on. that it would
continue. if a temporary chairman was ap-
pointed, the contest would be prolonged, lie
believed the contest would end soon if they
would go on. If he was placed there a proposi-
tion would ultimately be introduced to author-
ize him to appoint committees. lie saw no oth-
er means of terminating the contest but to pro-
ceed with the voting. The adoption of the res
olution would only protract the contest
Mr. Duer roe and objected to further re-
marks as bein- out of order on a proposition toj
. ", t- i j
,? l- ii i c ii-i r
The question was called for on all sides H
the House.
Mr. Stanton of Tennessee wished to introduce
a proposition for the adoption of rules, but did
not press the motion, as it was objected to.
The question being again called for, it was
taken, and the resolutions were laid on the ta-
ble by a vote on yeas and neas, of 110 in the af-
firmative, and 104 in the negative On motion
of Mr. Wcntworth the House theu proceeded to

There being no choice three more ineffec-
tual ballots were had.
Air. Chester liuttler then offered the follow,
ing resolution :
Resolved, That Robert C. Winthrop, of
Massachusetts, be chosca Speaker, and the
Clerk of the Thirty-First Congress.
Mr. C. Buttler said that understanding that
the Post master General had engaged to make
compensation lothe railroad companies which
.are to express the message and accompanying
papers lor the delay in their deliver', I hey
being obliged to be ready to perform the ser-
vice at any moment, be bad brought forward
the- resolution in the desite to save the treas-
ury from this growing expense. lie submit-
ted it to the House lo be disposed of accord-
ing to its pleasure.
Mr. Root inquired whether the Post master
General contemplated expressing these doc-
uments to the South and West as well as to
the eastwatd
Mr. C. Butllcr was understood to reply
that he was not informed.
Mr. Stanton was mider-stood to inquire
whether this exptess had not performed its
ofFiec in cart ing the report of the Post master
General to the North 'I A laugh.
On motion of Mr. Kaufman the lesolution
was then laid on the table, and the House
preceded to the 27th ballot for Speaker, which
resulted much in the sum1 manner as the pre-
vious one.
After two more ballots, making in all 28.
the House adjourned.
CONGRESS..
The following is the report of the proceed-
ings of Congress on the 7th hist, as given by
the Baltimore Sun of the following day:
Washington, December!, 1S49.
The Senate met at the Usual hour, and af-
ter spending some time in conversation, came
to the conclusion that there would be no- or-
ganization of the House lo day, and adjourn
ed to 12 o'clock to-morrow.
The House met at 12 o'clock, and the jour-
ual was read.
Mr. Billiard remarked that the tellers yes
terday had inadvertently terorded the name
of Mr. Holiiday as having voted fur Mr. Win-
throp. The correction had been, however,
made in the journal.
On motion of Mr. Bayly, the House re-
sumed the contest for Speaker the same gen
tletnen asyesteiday acting as tellers.
Four ineffectual ballots were taken, on the
last one of which Mr. Winthrop had 102 votes.
Mr. Cobb 65, Richardson 23, Potter 18,
Gentry 5, McClernand 7, Booth 1, Strong 2,
Morse 1. The House then adjourned.
SUGAR PLANTING ON THE GUADA
LUPE.
We are informed by the Hon. D. M. Stapp, that at
the Mission Valley on the West side of the Guadalupe
river, fifteen, miles above Victoriu, there are two large
Surar Planters Mr. Hamilton aud Mr. Davidson
vvhos- experiments, in the culture of the cane : and
the manufacture of Snsjar and Molasses, will be atten-
ded with perfect sucres. Those gentlemen have
procured, from, New Orleans, Sugar makers, ol skill
-'.'d. experience : also all the machinery for the making
"' "' "" "c"7 . . "i
the present year, will turnout extremely well: It is
supposed that there will ho over two hundred hogshead
0101 merchautabJe sugar, made on the two plauta-
tions.
Fm,r year3 nr0i there nad uot'been a stalk .if Sugar
cane raised on tho Guadalupe river ; but tho success
of the experiments ot those enterprising Hunters
Mr Hfimiltouaud Mr. Davidson will, we are satis-
tied, eucourago others, to turn their attention to that
branch of agricultural industry, and, iu a few years,
we slrill expt-ct to see the fertile valley of the Guada-
lupe become as noted for its annual yield of Sugar and
Molasses, as it has been, in its primitive wilderness,
for its productiveness of that most nutritious of nuts
tiie ieca,js. W.American
Thk friendship of some people is like our
shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in
the sunshine, but deserting us the moment we
enter the shade.
BE KIND.
There are many reasons why we should be kind lo
each other.
1. There are nono so low as not to be ab!e to return
some favor. We may be thrown into circumstances
in which the poorest beggar along the road might re-
lieve us.
2. Thero is great pleasuro in beiugkmd. There is no
true happiuesi to bo derived from treating others un-
kindly, and unkind acta cannot fail to make us more
orh-tj unhappy ; but a kind act will bo a blesbing to
r.s; we feel comfortable every time we think of it.
3. We impart great happiness to others by being
kind to llicm. What pain an unkind act, or eveii a
cold look will inflict, especially upon those who really
need sympathy. But n kind act or look gives ease to
an aching heart ; it is tho sun.shino of the soul.
4. The great reason for being kind is, it is riiiht ;
duty requires it. It is suited to the relation we sus-
tain to each other, as creatures of the same God, made
nftliesiin flesh and blood, travelling to the s me
world of spirits, where wn shall lir.ve to give an ac-
count how wi treat ea-:h other; then never unneces-
sarily wound tho fie'iurs of anv.

Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters. -
These Medicines have now been before tha pub
lie for n period of HFTEEN "SEAES. and
during that time have maintained a high character
in almost every part- of the globe for their extraor-
dinary and immediato power of restoring perfect
health to persons suffering under nearly every kind
of disease to which the human frame is liable
IINT MAWY THOUSANDS
of certificated instances, they have even rescued) .
sufferers from the very verge of an untimely grave,
aftor all the deceptive nostrums of tho day had'irt-
terly failed; and to many thousands thay havo
permanently secured that uniform enjoyment of
health, without which life itself is but a partial
blessing. So great, indeed, has their efficacy inva-
riably and infallibly proved, that it has appeared
scarcely less than miraculous lo those who were
acquainted with the beautifully philosophical prin-
ciples upon which- they are compenndr d, and upon
which they consequently aot. It was to their i
manifest and sensible action iu puTifyfugthe springs
and channels of life, and enduing them with re-
newed tone aud vigor, that they were iudebted'for
their name.
Unlike tho host of pernicious quackeries which
boast of vegetable ingredients, the TTFB MEDI-
CEJJES are purely aud solely vegetable ; and con-
tain neither IlerCTUy, nor Antimony, nor Arss-
jllC, nor any other mineral, in any form whatever.
They are entirely composed of extracts from rare
and powerful plants, the virtues of which, though,
long known to several Indian tribes, and recently
to some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are alto-
gether unkuowa to the ignorant pretenders to
medical science ; and were never before adminis
tered iu so happily efficacious a combination.
The first operation is to looseu from tho coats of
the stomach aud bowels the various impurities and.
crudities constantly settling round them ; and to
remove the hardened fojees which collect in tho
convolutions of the small intestines. Other medi-
cines only partially cleanse these, and leave such
collected masses behind to produce habitual Costive-
ness, with all its train of evils, or sudden Diarrhoea,
with its imminent dangers. This fdet is well
kuowu to all regular unatomists who examine the-
huinan bowels after death ; and hence the preju-
dice of these well iufonned men against the quack
medicines of the age The second effect of tho-
VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICMES is to
cleanse the kidneys aud the bladder ; and, by this
means, the liver and lungs, the healthful action of
which eutirely depends upon the regularity of tho
urinary organs. The blood, which takes its rod l'
color from the agency of the liver and lungs,beforoir
it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them,
and nourished by food coining from a cteau stomach,
courses freely through the veins, renews every part
of tho system, and triumphantly mounts the banner
of health in the b!oomiug cheek.
The following are among the distressing variety
of human d:s-asfs in which the VEGETABLE1 "'
LIFE MEDICINES aro well known to be mfal-
i.bic :
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first
and second stomachs, and creating a flow of puru
healthy bile, instead of the stalo and acrid kind ;
FLATULENCY, Loss of Appetite, Htarlbumf.
Headache, Restlessness, Iil-lcmpcr, Anxiety,
Languor, and Maluiicholi, which are the general-
symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vatiish, as a natural
con.setpiPiicrt cf its cure.
CGJtiveness, hy cleansing tiie whole length of"
the intestines with a solvent process, and without
violence : all vinleat purges leavo the bowels costive
within two days. '5
Diarrhoea and Cholera, by removing the,
sharp acrid ihitds by which these complaints aro'
occasioned, and by promoting the Iubrica-.ive nccro
tion of the mucous membrane.
2?8VSr3 f a" kiuils. by r storing the blood to a
regnb.r circulation, through tho process of porspi-
ration in such cases, and the thorough solution of
al! intestinal obstruction in others. ' '
Tiie Lifk Medicines havo been known lo
cure EHEUHATISM permanently in threa
weeks, aud GO U T in half that time, by removing
local inflammation from the muscles aud ligaments
of the joints.
Dropsies of all kinds, by freeing and strength-
ening the kidneys aud bladder: they operate most
delightfully on these importaut organ", aud her.eo- "
have ever been found a certain remedy for the
worst c-.ses of GRAVEL. j
Also vTorffiS, k" dislodging from the. turciags
of the Lowcls the slimy matter to which Ihesstd
creatures adhere.
Asthma a,ld Consumption, hy reiioving the
air-vefcsflsoftheiungsfroin iheniucou3 which even
slight colds will occasion, aud which, if not re-
moved, becomes hardened, and produces these-
dreadful tilst-asrs. . ,
Scurvy, ulcers, and Inveterate Sores, hy
the prrfect punty which these LTEE HEDI- "
CIJJE5 give to the blood, and all the humors.
Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Complex- "
ions, by their alterative elfect upon the fluids thut
feed the skin, and the morbid state of which occa-
sions all eruptive complaints, sallow, cloudy, aud
other disagreeable complexious.
The use of these Pills for a very short time will
effect aa entire- cure of SALT .RHEUM, and j t
striking improvement iu the clearness of the skin-
COMMON COLDS aud INFLUENZA wilt-1
always be cured by one dose, or by two evening
the worst cases.
PILES. As a remedy for this most distressing
and obstinate malady, tho VEGETABLE LITE
HEDICDJES deserve a distinct and emphatic
recommendation. It is well known to hundreds in
this city, that the former proprictor'of these valu- (
able Aledicines was himself afflicted with this'
complaint for upwards of Tiutm'-nvE years:; and
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed,
withiu the wholecompass of the Materia Medico: '
He however at length tried the Medicine which-is
now offered to the public, and he was cured in a
very short time, after his recovery had been pro-'
nounced not 6nly impiobable, but absolutely im-
possible, by aiiv humau means.
FEVSR AND AGUE.
For this scourge of the western country these
?,Iedicines will be found a safe, speedy, aud certain
remedy. Other medicines leave the system Sub-
ject to a return of the disease a cure by tlieso-
medicincs is permanent TRY THEM, BE SA-
TISFIED, AND BE CURED.
Bilious Fevers and Liver Complaints.
General Debility, Loss of ArrETiTE, Sa-n
Diskasks of Females these medicines have been
ued with tho most beneficial results in cases of this
d scriptiou : King's Evil, aud Scrofula, fu, its
worst forms, yields to the mild yet powerful action of
these remarkable Medicines. Night S.weats,
Nervous Debility, Nehvoiis CoMrL.iNTs'pf ail
kinds, P.LriTATto.s of the Heart, Palvteks
Colic, are speedily cured.
EIERCUaiAL DISEASES. "
Per-wns whose constitutions have become fm-
. paired by the injudicious use of Mkrcurt, will find
these Medicines a perfect cure, as they never fail
to eradicate from the system all the effects of
Mercury infinitely sooner thau tho most powerful
preparations of Sarsaparilla. A single1 trial will
place them beyond the reach of competition, in tho
estimation of every patient.
BE CAREFUL OF COUNTERFEITS.
Several have lately been discovered, and their
nefarious authors arrested, both jn the city of New
York aud abroad.
