THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS.
House Representatives Still Unorganized,
W ashington , Dee. 12.
The House of Representatives met to-day at
the usual hour, and immediately resumed the
discussion of Mr. Clark's resolution touching
the unfitness of such candidates an had endorsed
the treasonable seutiments of the Black Re
publican circular. No vote was taken for
Speaker, nor was any attempted.
It is now believed that another week will be
consumed by political disputes aud personal
explanations. *
Proceedings of the Sknatr.
In the Senate Mr. Ivcrson of Georgia made a
personal explanation. In the course of which he
said that in the remarks he made the other day
upon the nnsouudness of the Democratic party,
North, ho had not intended to charge Senators
or leading meu of the party with complicity in
the Johu Brown foray, but he merely intetided
to say that the position of Senator Douglaa in
regard to the territorial rights of the Southern
people was not sound, and a large portion of
the Democrats, agree with Douglas upon that
question.
Mr. Bigler defended the Northern Democracy
from the charge of leaning towards Abolition
ism,
Johnson, of Tennessee, made a speech against
the Republicans aud in defence of the Union.—
He denounced John Brown and his connitators
as thieves and murderers, lie also criticised
Senator Seward's Rochester speech very severe
ly, alter which the Senate adjourned.
Washington , Dec. 13.
In the lluti6c, yesterday, Mr. Stuwart, of

in defence of Southern rights.
Messrs. Ilaskin, of New York, and Hickman,
of Pennsylvania, made brief speeches in justi
fication of their refusal to act with the Demo
cratic party in the organization ot the House.
Another ballot for Speaker of the llouso was
called for, but Mr. Clarke, of Missouri, pro
tested against it, and said ho would resist to

A Great Cry and Little Wool.
From the day on which, iu the month of
April last, a meeting was called at Odd Fel
lows' Hall in this city, by one hundred and one
individuals styling themselves Democrats, until
that ou which our late general election was
held, the people of this Parish, and of ihe State
at large, have been amused with the antics of
insignificant handful of political adventurers
composed of one or two disappointed aspirants,
aud a tail of ungrateful office holders, who have
years past been growing fat on office ob
tained at the hand.s of the Democratic parly of
Louisiana, aud whom much prosperity has driv
en to the hallucination that they had the desti
ny of their benefactors iu their hands, and
could shape the action of a great aud powerful
political organization to their caprices or their
pecuniary iuterests. That assemblage, while
clamoring against the ancient and well known
usages of the Demeeratic party in this city, and
denouncing in ribald and shamefully false
terms, the wise aud patriotic Administration of
Mr. Buchanan, also nnnouueed a policy—if so
pitiful a squad could be supposed to have i
policy—with regard to the legislative poweri
existing in the inhabitants of the organized ter
ritorics of the United States, which brings its
propounders so near the Black Republican par
ty that practically there is no difference be
tween them, so far as the equal rights of the
slaveholding Stales in the common property of
the Federal Union is concerned.
Nevertheless, the concocters of this scheme of
defection and disorganization, trusting either
to the forbearance of the real Democracy, or to
the liberal credulity of our'population, had the
boldnerw to proclaim themselves the States'
Rights Democracy of Louisiana, and to enter
into a contest with the friends of the Adminis
tration on the issue which they had framed
against it. Their first essay was to elect a del
egation to the State Democratic Convention,
held at Baton Rouge on the fourth Monday i
May ; their delegates were refused seats in its
deliberations, and their leader, denied the sym
pathy of any portion of the country Democracy,
quitted Baton Rouge in dudgeon aud disgust,
aud returned home, to use a homely old exprès
sion, " with a flea in his ear." But defeat and
the repudiation of hi« policy by those to whom
he had fondly looked for aid and encourage
ment, did not teach him either common sense
or moderation ; for he next proceeded to the
establishment of a club, which, in order to en
trap the unwary, was called *' the titatcs' Rights
Democratic Club," which, it is to be supposed
he harangued in his most eloquent manner, in
order to prepare and discipline it in his darling
project ot killiug off a party whose only offense
as regarded himself was, that ho was denied that
measure of honors and influence iu its councils
which it accorded others, whom it took the lib
erty of believing better qualified for high sta
tion, and more reliable in the performance of
their duties. Small as were its numbers this
club was c oon divided, a-it is rumored, bccause
the self-elected leader was too tyranical and
imperious in hi* temper aud demnnds to be lon
ger endured by those who retained any spirit
of independence or any lingering feeling of at
tachment to their former political association*
Hencejhe formation of the Louisiana Demo
cratic Association, and the division of the al
ready diminutive force of the Olsorganiseis into
two separate camps.
The States' Rights Club, sometime in the
summer, enacted the farce of nominating a can
didate for Congress, representing Us very pe
culiar views, in the person of a worthy and os
inablc gentleman in private life. From the
lime he accepted the nomination, conferred un
der such auspices, the public car was repeated
ly assured that his election was next to certain;
nnd w hen the true Democrats of the District
imbled inCouveutiou, and put forward
candidate representing ils views, the soi diMant
•States' Rights men affected much amusement
at such temerity, and ridiculed the Idea of the
success of the nominee, piirticuluriy in the par
ishes or JMaiiuemines aud St. Bernard, thu for
mer of which, it was alleged, wt uld give the
States' Rights nominee an overwhelming ma
jority. During the cam ass Mr. Thos. Jefferson
Durant, the Opposition candidate for Attorney
General of the State, in one, at least, of those
turgid harangues which he evidently thought
to be modeled upon the most graceful nnd pow
erful orations delivered by Cicero in the old
Roman days, wert so fur as to assert that hud
the Democracy, which stood by its old colors,
dared to meet the forces of the Odd Fellows'
Hull meeting on the snme tiny and at the same
places, the latter would have beaten tlicin two
votes to one In the election of delegates to the
Baton Rouge Convention. Coming from a
gentleman whose every day professional life
teaches him the grout value of facts iu argu
ment, this assertion fell rather slurliiugly o.
the curs of those who remembered Die numbe
of voles polled at the respuilve elections fo
those delegates ; and hud the distinguished or
ator been nsked l'or a moment to suspend his
declarations ol rhapsodical enthusinsm, in his
new character as an Opposition orator, and his
poetical quotations to back them, and to bring
forward facts (o verify his assertions on this
point, we venture tu believe that he would
have been sadly at a loss to cuinply with the
demand.
Having thus shown what were the preten
sions of Hie virtuous '• rurlllculors " of New
Orleans Democracy before the election came
>11, we come now to the result; and hero wo
ulll confine ourselves lo the First Congression
al District, as affording the oient-est proof of
llielr strength, for in the upper portions of the
ly they ran no candidates, and most likely
merged their vote In that of the Opposition,

n that In the parish nnd
I, thu vole of Mr. LaSere
was more than six timku us great as that of his
so called Slate»' Rights opponent. In the par
ish of St. Bernard the figure« stood, as well
wc remember, (having mislaid the returns) La
Sere lull, Bienvenu 44, a proportion or more
than three lo one. From ritupieiniucs purisii
the uDIcial returns of this cleollou are still most
unaccountably missing, but from the accounts
which have come to hand as lo the result I
most of the precincts, Mr. jÄSoro's majority
over Mr. Bienvenu is in almost as great, if nul
renliy as great, a proportion us it was in the
cily. We do not believe tlmt the latter genllc
man obtained lour hundred votes in the entire
District ; and, from information we have .
tallied, not n few or those actually cast ror h
were given In fulfillment or promises mntlc be
lore Mr. LaScrc wus nominated, und not through
sympathy with the Odd Fellows' Hall move
ment.
Before concluding, we wish to bring lo the
notice or the Democracy or the Slate another
significant tact. The Odd Fellows' llall Puri
fiers not finding in the city any one witli a po
litical character sufficiently unspotted and pur«
Tor their purposes, sent down to l'luipieiniues,
anil round, at Deer Range .Plantation, another
Cinclnnatus, in the person of Maunsel White,
and brought him up lo town lu preside at their
meeting. One would have thought that (his
venerable gentleman possessed, in an unlimited
degree, the personal anil political esteem of Iiis
fellow parishioners, nnd they would be glad to
sei7.e any occasion to do him all honor. What
then was the astonishment or the general pub
lie, at finding that lie bad obtained from them
