* In the House to-day, Mr. Dunn offered a '
jieries of resolutions: First, thnt no man '
should be elected Speaker who would licai- <
tale to restore the Missouri Compromise; j
Second, that the Missouri Compromise should j,
Be restore! as a certain means of restoring
harmony and concord to tlio Union ; and
third, that factional agitation of the slavery 1
qilention in and out of Congress is unwise
slid unjust to any section of the country ;
but until the Missouri Compromis? should
be restored, it was a solemn duty to ]>crsist
in efforts to accomplish that end.
Tbe first resolution was rejected by yeas '
100, nays 103; the second was adopted by 1
yea* 101, nays 100 ; and the 3d was rejected |
by 100 yeas, to 10.3 nays.

Adopted, yeas 103, nays 100. *

The Prospect ToDat.?When the
House adjourned yesterday, we were under "
the impression that Mr. Orr would be elected h
npoaKpr id the course of to day. Our confidence
in that belief, however, was considera
bly shaken on learning that the Democratic
caucys had subsequently nominated that gen- e
tleman. While he would have been in all
respects acceptable to every Democrat in the
Hall without the application of a nomination, I
that formality will certainly tend to deprive u
hiro qf the support of more or less anti Dcm c
ocratic party members, who were perfectly
willing to have voted for him as an independent
candidate, in order to bring the present
protracted contest to a close. I

quite sorry for this inability to afford an "incog

coming when we will little need their assistance,
and if needed will not be accepted,
from the fact that when most needed they
were not to be found. But after all, perhaps
we are talking too fast. It may be
that if we had said nothing about it?been
perfectly quiet?no ono would have ever
known that we had been absent. Since we
began to think about it, we regret having
laid anything at all. We^liope we aro excused.

"If personal considerations chiefly win applause,
then no one merits our sympathy and

years of ago ; now boldly reasoning with the
king of France for religious liberty, now ventuting
a* the apostle of trnth to carry the
now doctrine into the heart of Italy, and

as a father, he felt Hie hitter pang of bury-.1

alone in a strange land, he went forward in
hia career with serene resignation and indexible
firmness; no love of case turned him
aside fioin his vigils; no fear of danger relaxed
the nerve of his eloquence ; no bodily
infirmities checked the incredible activity of j
his mind ; and so he continued, year after
year, solitary and feeble, yet toiling for hu- j
inanity, till after a life of glory, he bequeathed
to hit personal heirs a fortune, in boolcs I
and furniture, stocks and money, not exceeding
two hundred dollars, and to the world a

with the kindred principles of republican

"What is eternity !" "A day without yesterday

"What is time) "A line that has two ends;

king, or a judicious policy in her ltn?u?c% and
much of her schemes in interne) improvement*
hove resulted only in taking from the people
their money, and disappointment in its appropriation
much to their detriment.
It is difficult for one wlioae mind luoln ln'tliOte
matters that engage tho interest and welfare of
notions, to eonnne their views to the ceneerns
of a single Ftatc or community, although directlv
interested in ite pdliey; and I must copfrM

(that is close in the future,) between monarchy
and republican principle*, and the effect
which the result of the struggle is te have upon
the whole human race, has diverted my a tie a tion

serve in a res]>oasible capacity in which their
interest is directly conoerned, to obey, and 1
