MR. BsklfaUM? LT.Kt rio>.
After two months' effort, the Hottsi' of Kepre
scntatircs baa BBBBBBiti iu electing a BptBaMt*.
Wc c< ngratulate the eouutry ou the result, but Mat
ci ngratulstiona are not uniuingled with regret.
We ha?e felt it to be scandalous tioin the begniiiiug
of lbc a?>aion, that n House, the majority of which
was chosen ao unmistakably by the peoplo a* an
Ami Nebraska body, should at its opening and crer
air.re have exhibited auch signal disregard of the
pt pillar will. Yet after seeing what MB have MkMbj
it uow appears a great cause of exnltitmu thit
?ac bare triumphed at the last. That triumph we
have uercr despaired ol however: aud csjx>cially
we have not shared iu the apprebeii
mo" cuteitaiuid by many for the last few
dajs that Mr. Aiken was to b*j aaOOtod. We did
pot b?die?e, although we ere ready to belioTC
almost an)thioR ot Northern doughface-, that BAM
chosen to represent the Auti-Nebra*ka mmtiuii'tit of
th- North could fBiti swallow not only a Nebraska
man, but a South Carolina Nebraska m.in. an 1 not
fHilt a alaveholdiT, but a slaveholder owning a
thousand slaves. Wc choked at this, and it seems
others who had votes to give choked at it also.
Mr. Aiheu could not be swallowed. Wt will hop"
there is good in the omcu; and wc will hope, too,
thi n> is an omen of good iu the election of Mr.
Bunks. It hat thus far tinted out that the
!>l Mbkrl who is iu office at the Presidential election
hi s alwa>s been of tbe same politic* as the MbB0tta>
ful candidate for that high orhce. If there U t? be
an exception at tbe next clevtioti. it will be the
first.
We pasa by all the stuff that has beeu uttered in
the form of deprecatory jereuiitds over Mr.
I'm Ks's election. Wheuever the Slavery Elten
sii niste arc afraid ef being thwarted iu any of their
favrrite purpoacs they set up the i MtBioa btigbi?ar.
Tim* it has been current duriug the recent BBaTMMi
that the public p???cc was in jeopardy, and that if a
m.oi cntertaitiii ?; Mr. R.\nke'? \ lew s khould be
ihosen Speaker there would be serious dang? ?>i
disunion. This talk, alwa> a foolish aud groundless,
wms never uiere so than in the present initatice.
?Ve presume there will be now no further delay in
completing the organization of the llou<e. and that
Mr. Ctillom w ill In promptly chosen Clerk to-mor?
row, Anti-Nebraska manas be is, probably sui h men
I i?'ormer colleagues. Mr. Etheridge and Mr.
Z?'11'coffer, will not reftiM- to vote for him, th >ugh
thev voted for Mr. Aikcu through the iute:is<' r gor
?f the Pro-Slaverv ncutiiiu nt gf the South.
There is much that we art* prompted to s.iy of
the r-hortcotuitig* ol the pteeent House, as evitictHl
da all the votes f r Speaker, aMtMlBg the la^t.

|>atieutly for ita doings, touching the vital MM*V
ticu* which are speedily, we trust, to BBMH beiore

to Kanaas. We atill expect w ith m r titidence
tt.-<t the much abused people of that Territory will
be treated with fairness bv the trntioriu af t:i ?

1st. aa there were ehivalric men from the South
? ho dared do right ou the Nebraska question, ao
Mere must be others from that quarter who will
lare do justice to Kansas. We look for such iium
specially among the Members from Tennessee.

Without reproachet then tor what is pMt and in?
evitable, und with hope und confidence for the fu?
ture, we invoke the prompt justice of Congrcea to*
ward Kansas. Two weary months hare paatad
since its im l-'Mi i.rcd people hare had reason to ex?

In all creat contests it is firm, steady, cool, de
termii.ed. perar-iering fortitude that eirrie. to?
day. So it was et Waterloo; so it has been in
the great democratic triumph ju-t achieved at
Washington in the election of Mr. Hanks as
Speaker. Of course by democratic triumph we
mean the triumph of those who represent the or gi
nul, old-fashioned dcuiocrutic principles of the
countrj?democratic principle* c* understood and
?d\?cnt?d by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Joffe r
son, George Clinton and Samuel Adams?not the
sham pseudo-democracy which h.is for its Mat dot'

sented to the plurality rule, charged desperately
at the heart of the Old liuard, da-hod fiercely aud
coi fid< nth on the Republican squares, which in
vain th y attempted to break, rolled back iu confu?
sion, aud tied the field.
One ol th'- greatest marks of HtMtTM stupidity
is, not to know when one i* beaten. Mr. A. K.
Maisbiill. a-toiiishcd at ? result which, to judge
from the speech he made in easting his vote for
Aikeu. araj entirely imputed to him, made an at?
tempt to rally the routed forces, on tbr ground
that, tin ugh Bank* had received a plurality vote,
a uujority ratotateM was still needed to put him
in tl c chair. Thirt)-ninc more were found d-?sper
ate aud iut.ituated enough t > attempt to stand upon
this quibble. But the Bonaparte" of the Admin?
istration Bat*, plainly ciu'tigh that th>- da; was lost,
that all was lo>; but their honor; and Messrs
Ct'bb, Aiken and Smith of Alabama, and the
majority ot Mr. Hunks's opponents, feeling that
they had something ol thut sort to lose, weft bj
no nil ans inclined to throw it away as they ran;
and und. r their judicious 1. adership, the honor ot
the Anti-Banks men was saved. This triumph
over the meaner element of their own organiza?
tion, may serve to console them, nt least in part,
lor the 1? ss of the Spcakership. To keep w ithin
the sympathy of honorable minded un-n, irrespec?
tive of political, is ?oinething to boast of?at least
on the part of those who have resisted au attempt
to push th' in out of it.
This first great victory attained, at leatl
within the memory of the oldest of Um
living. In I're.-dom over Slavery, cauuot fail
to luve great results. Wt look upon it as
the commencement tf a new era in our history.

bad t ne and all put theme-Ire!, at the en: re di?
pisal of the four impracticable* who rsjfesj for
Carr.ib. 11, their united number* would n-.t kajfl
Mil a majority of the Hour**. To bare secured
such a majority, it would have been n.-c-?ary for
these V o Members professing ho?tility to the K ui
?if-Nebraj'ka policy to have given the nomination mt
Speaker to the -ix men who made so clear aa ex?
position of their political principles by continuing
to vote for Fuller after L- bad mvle a declara
ti< n more thoroughly Pro-Slavery than even that of
Richardson. As to the rest of the Members pr>
f. s r g hostility to the Pierce Administration, how
rrueh support for a Republican candidate was to
be exa cted from th-mwas fully shown by their
final support given to Aiken. a S-mth Cardin an
ai.d the largest slaveholder in the 1'nion.
But a*, it is absurd to suppose that among the
hundred and more Anti-N'ebraaka mei, there were
cot a considerable number who would have proved
a? obstinat* ly consistent as Mr. D inn proved him?
self obstinately s. It-willed, it is safe to say that th
cbooi-iDg a Speaker by I majority was an utt -rly
impraet cable tb Bg from the very fir-t in >meut of
ti e session, and that no Republican cand.d.t'e who "
O'uld have teen nominated, would hive hid a
larger vote thnu Mr. Hank*.
The whole blam? of the delay therefore belong-,
Mfci will be Uio-f justly ascribed by the p ibltc to
those Democrat.-, Know-Nothing- ami others, wh ?
ft? ? d out so obstinately against the PI ir.ility Rule,
but chiefly to the do/en or so self-conceited, im
practicable numbers who fondly supposed that they
could drive the hundred Ranks men into becoming
the servant* of UM it caprices and the tools of their
iutrignos. _
THE LiROPE.41 WIK.
The s)stein oi warfare r.irtisnl on hitherto by
the Western Powers against Hu-sia, b is completely
, broken down. It will not da to carry on this yeara
I campaign, if campaign then is to be, upon the
i pliji which bns, so far, been followed tip. To con?
centrate the whole forces of France, England.
Turkey and Sardinia, against one particular point iu
the Crimea, a point which, by using indirect means,
might have be n g. i?ed as an accessory: to fight for
that point ? Wt n long months, and theu t > obtain
only one half of it; to neglect til Other opportunities
for dealing off. ctn e blow s at the enemy to such an
ext. nt that SiUHa could obtain by th- conquent of
Kar?, a counterpart to the loss of the MWth side of
Sevastopol?all that might do for a camptignor
two, in a war where the most vulnerable points of
the opposing patties were covered by the neutrality
of Central Europe. Hut it w ill do no longer. The
Cooefl of War which has just been sitting in
Paris, is the best proof that now we shall have
I some thing like war in eaiin-st if the war is to con?
tinue at all.
The war, as hitherto carried on, has been a state
of official hostilities, mitigated by extreme polite
' ness. We do not here allude to civilities marking
i the unavoidable intercourse of flags of truce, but
i to the civilities which the'.cry councils of war of
i the contending parties d-pls;edto theiropponent*.
I That the war aro-e at all, is the fault of a tuiscal
i culation on tbe part of the Emperor Nicholas, lie
I never expected that Kram e aud Euglmd would
! join to oppose bis designs upon Turkey; be looked
out for a quiet little war of til own w ith th.- 8 dt ui,
which might led bis tro.p- lira teeoad t me to
I the walls of Constantinople, arouse European di?
plomacy when it would In- too late, and tin illy give
I his own diplomatists a chance of gaining, a- usual,
I twice at much iu conferences und coug . sses us hit
troops could have gained by the tWOrd. Lin fort u
i nately, unexpectedly, on willingly, Buatia and the
Western Power- w. re entangled into war over this
business before they were aware of if, and to war
thc> had to go. though n< ne of them lik.-d it.
Now, cither partv had a last means of warfare in
perspective which it thought would frighten the
other from resorting to extremities. It w.i? ex?
pected to be a war ol principl-s, and of a more or
ItM revolution?r; character in which Genu.iuy
and her dependencies, Hungary, Poland. Italy
would have to partake. Thou/time ratio e>f the Wi st
was tobe the setting loose of the oppressed nation
alitics of Hut gary. Poland, It..!;, and more or less
of Germany also. The ultima mtto > { Russia, on the
other hand, wa* the appeal to Panslavism, the rea
1 zation of the dreams lost-red by enthusiasts for
the last fitly wars, among the Slavonic population
of Eun pe.
But neither the Russian t.overntuent. nor that
of Lcui* Bonaparte | not to sp-ak of Pilm-r
ston) choose to appeal to such means
of action bet?re the last cxtrcmitv had
arrived; and in cone, quence the war has be-.-n car
ri-di uwith a mutual for'>carance and urbanity
i scared; habitual betw.vn legitimate monarchs of
I ancient lineage, tm.ch letl between such upstart*
{ and usurpers as the Romanoffs, the Hanoverians,
und th. Psetide^Btuiapartes. The Baltic coast of
Russia was scarcely touched; no attempts at pe-r
ixau. nt lodgment ?. re mad-the re. There, a* ia '
tbe \VLite Sa. private property was much more is- I
sa.l.J than Go\, rum.-nt property; and M the coast
of Finland, especially, the british fleets ayenjed
to hure no other cud in lit w than to recoucJe the
Fins to the Ru? ,,u rule. In the Pdach >.?? ?i:ai]ar
priLciplet were acte*d upvu. The Allied troops '
scut there IpBetied to here come for the purpose
of making the Turks loi.g for a Russian invasion:
for that is the only coudusion to be drawn from
tb( ir conduct. Offf attM l-*>4 till now. The m ?st
inn. cent portion of th-- time the; *p,.0t Ln

when, incapable of doing good, thev d.d
at least no considerable harm except to them?

TLey manage-d to carry on the w ar in such t wav
that the Russian Government had every reason to
he highly satisfied with them. The Duke of Cam

to tie French troops retiirned fn-m the Crimea:
but no medals, creases, grand-crosses, stars and '

I d.fd. wheu the south side of Sevastopol was
abandoned by its Russian garrison, it had csk
the Allies in dead and invalid 250,000 ui-n,
beside millnnis on millions of money. The Ens
siana. always worsted ?i battle, had rvgu- !
lariy defeated their ? mmi. s in resolution, activity,
and the skill of the ir cc^rnanding eng neer.

to both English and French. An.1. after all. it

the force* of Rnwia a* those of the Allies, for it
did net prevent the Rus-ims from taking Kars.

Thi* obstinacy in concent ratin | the pith of the
war in a Peninsula about the size of L>ng [dan 1,
has certainly served to keep aside all tinpleismt
question*. No nationalise*, no Panslavi<m, no
tp ?ble with Centra! F.urope, no necessities f >r
conquest, no great decisive results which might
embarra-s ulterior negotiations by implying the
necessity of imposing real sacrifices on any party,
have appeared upon the scene. But to the m ?n
engaged in the srtaal naiipalgn this is not agreeable.
To 'hem. at least fr? m the Sergeant-Major down?
ward, the war has been a tnatt -r of s'ern. stub?
born fact. Never, as long a* there htve been
w ars, ho* snch brilliant bravery been thrown away
for stieb inade quate results as in this Crimean
campaign. Never have such numbers of first-rate
soldiers been sacrificed, and in such a short
time, too, to produce *uch indecisive ?McaMMfc
It is evident that such suffering* cannot be im
j o?. .1 gain upon the armies. There must be some
more palpable gain than barren ?? glory.'' You
cannot go on fighting at the rate of two great bat?
tle* and four or five general assault* per annum,
and vet remain always on tbe same spot. No
arm} stand* that in the long run. No fleet will
stand a third campaign of the inodest Baton ot th?
two la*t, in the Baltic and Black 8eas. If
the war is to continue, vve bear accordingly,
of the invasion of Finland, of Ksthonia, of Bessara?
bia; we are promised Swedish auxiliaries, and
Austrian demonstrations. But at the tame time
we are informed that Russia has accepted the
Au-trian proposals as a basis for negotiation, and
while this is far troui settling the question of peace,
it opens a possibility of that consutumat on.
There i*. then, a chtace that there may not be
another campaign; bat if one doe* come, we may
presume that it uiust be much more exteu*ive aud
fruitful than those that have have preceded it.

In \Bm% when the Duke of Wellington became

The recent slave case io Cincinntti, attended by
tbe horrid circumstance of a mother's killing h ?r

likely to raise and bring to decision an importaut

but which, through tbe pusillanimity of the
(fficials, and es|>oomlly of the then and BMP Attor
nov-General of the State, was not then pu?hed to
a decisit n.
A coroner's jur> have returned that the child
won kil'ed by the mother. Cr.miual yiroeetvlings
w ill no doubt be taken against her. aud p.?rh tps
against the other three adults of the ptrty as aid?
ers and abettors; and thus the question wdl com >
op whether, while it overrides every civil right
tinder tie State laws, the Fug tive Slave Act
is also to override the criminal jurisd etiou 0/ the
Mate. Surely Ohio has at this time a Governor
who knows the rights of the S'ate, and will main
rain them: and we trust the judicial and executive
officers will prove to have somewhat more of back?
bone than was exhibited in Massachusetts at the
time of the Sins* remit.on.
A correspondent at Fiushng writes to inform us
that a letter from Greet.pert tmvlcd ou the morning
of one day would not reach its address at Flushing
till 8 p. m. on the aext, instead of 11 a. m., as we
supposed on Saturday in d scussiug this letvr of
Mr. Luther Moore to Dr. Yalk. Wt were under
the impression that the until from this city to
Flushing was sent in the morning, while it appears
to be kept here t II the afternoon. This, however,
die* not alter the case between Valk and Mr.
Moore, for it still remains true that the former
could have answered on one day a latter of the day
previous from the latter?:i point which Dr. Valk
has had the assurance to deny.
Our Flushing correspondent sugg. sta that the
question of the respective, dates of |fr. Moore's aud
Dr.Talk's lett- rs might at once be settled by comp ir
ing their post-marks. He seems to forget that Mr.
M' ore'l letter was sent to a man wbonow denies that
he ever received 1 r answered it. and who. though not
remarkable tot sense, is not such a fool as to pro
duce for examination a letter which he claims
never to have seen.

AFTER THE VICTOR!.
Editorial Corte?-ondeure af The N. V. Tribune.
WAflWMTOll, Feb. 3, lmw%
After tlie fierce and constantly-augmenting ex?
citement of the last two mouths, Washington seems
preteruaturally calm to-day. The Republican* ea>
joy their triumph tpiletly, and the rast majority
( pp. ted to us in this community are glad we hare
a Speaker at last, even though it be Nathaniel P.
Banks.
To-morrow will be devoted to swearing in Mem?
ber*, exchanging messages, and drawing for seats.
In the evening an Anti-Nebraska caucu* will
probahlj be held to uouiiuato minor officers. It i*
presumed that (o n. Cullom of Tennessee will be
Clerk. '1 he Printer and all below are very doubtful.
Mr. Haven did not attend the House yesterday,
bi iug sick. He is said to have promised to rote
for Aiken, but afterward recanted.
Heoara. Barclay aad Filler of Pennsylvania, and
Valk of N. w-Vork did not voto for 8]>eaker on the
decisive trial.
Messrs. Broome, Bayard Clark, and Whitney,
w ho had roted tor Mr. Aiken on Fridiy night, now
held fast by Mr. Fuller; so did Wiuter Dans,
Cullen, and Millward. Mr. Hickmau threw off so
Mr Wells.
The vote for Banks was just the regular Aa*
Nebraska strength, less Messrs. Dunn, 8co*A,
Moore, and 8cott Harrison, who voted for L. D.
Campbell. The most desperate exertions were
made to curry Barclay, Hickman, and the six
Fuller v. tev tor Aiken but in vain. u. o.
from Oar Owl Corranpoudsnt.
Washington, Feb. 3, UHL
Mr. Banks's success is borne with becoming
moderation by his friends. Two votes more, and I
think three, wen hi rceern. There is no exulta?
tion, and no spirit of proscription for past differ*
ences. The House will be organized with a liberal
justice to all interest*, and proper respect to the
sentiment which is that of the ajnortaifii majority;
but at the same time with every consideration to the
South in the selection of their best men, so far a* the
minority is fairly entitled to representation on all
important Committees. The organization will
deu.i ustrate how thajnefully Mr. Banks has bee*
misrepresented, and Will react upon the propaga?
tors of such calt|mnies.
Gea. Cullom will probably be elected tomorrow,
on the first ballot, by a considerable majority.
