for if they had been the people would have elected a man opposed to the radical measures of the administration. Mr. Smith explained that he went with the election on the principle of high and sublime love of country and pure philanthropy. He was nominated by a convention which the Louisville Journal denounced as a radical abolition convention. He was elected by over five thousand majority. Men who owned more negroes than all of them together, had endorsed his course in voting for Speaker Colfax. Mr. Clay, (Rep.,) of Ky., wished to know whether or he was included in the charge of violating pledges. Mr. Mallory replied that he had not in the remotest manner alluded to his colleague.

y would fall to retain its ascendant." The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, under the heading "Frank Blair ventilates his ideas," writes: "Gen. Frank Blair made a campaign speech in the House on Saturday afternoon, understood to have reference to the Presidential contest. He denounced Chase; spoke of the nefarious system of trade regulations; denounced the Government and the party as the most corrupt known, for refusing to let him investigate. He attacked Speaker Colfax, for playing the same sort of double-shuffle, by which he was put in an unimportant position on the Military Committee, instead of on the Committee on the Conduct of the War, and commented on his refusing to come out for the renomination of Lincoln. He attacked the Maryland Convention for its resolution about his brother, but said it was forced to favor Lincoln's renomination. He then denounced the radicals generally, and said they were every-where threatening they wouldn't support Lin

Yankee Congress, growing out of attempts to expel members for the expression of alleged disloyal sentiments. To day we copy additional sketches of these highly animated and not unamusing displays. They were initiated by a resolution moved by Mr. Colfax, Speaker of the House, for the expulsion of Mr. Long, of Ohio, on the ground that he had declared "in favor of recognizing the independence of the so called Confederacy now in arms against the Union."--Upon this sprang a debate of a highly persdled pretty roughly for it, as he deserved. There were a plenty of fanatical Republicans who would have gladly performed the service in order to gain some popular consideration among the subjugationists and "rebellion crushers" of the North; but Colfax, Yankee like, seeing, or thinking that he saw a chance to make something for himself, stood not upon any scruples of propriety, but caught at it eagerly. The tendency of the debate, if debate it could be called, was quite remarkable.--There

The case of Mr. Long. In the House, the case of Mr. Long, of Ohio, was discussed throughout the entire session.

We may say that we have not taken territory that belonged to the Yankee Government, of which said Colfax appears as the prosecuting attorney, since that territory belonged to the States which have dissolved partnership with the agreeable and loveable political family represented by said Colfax, and, of course, went with them, and cannot be dissevered from them. But as to the killing of the Union soldiers, that is too true. The "offence is rank,"and at least reaches the sensibilities of the virtuous denizen of the White House. How so grave an offence is to be atoned, we cannot imagine.
