I will remark that 1 Is Dot without precedent. During the whole period that Col. Richard M. Johnson filled the jflc of Vice President and President of this tyodj, be wna allowed a Clerk, and the oflice Jw'as s)ot dipcnsed with until a; President pro tetnvorc was elected.

I did not hear the reasons that ttfert assigned by the gentleman from Noith jvji if hi ivji uw miviiiUM ui lull IW7UIUIIUII. 1' ipreiume there are some reasons for it : but un. jess Tenn more clearly, understand what they re, 1 trould prefer that the resolution be per' initled to lie over until to morrow. y - Mr. ICangum. I will repeat what I said if De-gthtletnan desires it. I remarked that it was not without precedent ; that during the time .(When1 Col..' Johnson was Vico President he had the 'service of a clerk, and the office was not ipned with until I had ihe honor lo be elec jed President pro tempore of this body ; and the Reason for ihe dUtinciioh will he erceived. Thetextent of the correspondence of the Presi. dent pro tempore olhe Kenale U not probably its great as that of the Vice President ; hut the reason in ihii rase, as 1 staled, is the fact of the Vice President labori nif under a defect of Jvision, on ncqouni of which he is unable to at. tend himself to his correspondence ; the great. f t part of which must bo transacted by candle. Jight. tha Vice President being necessarily oc. cupied during tho greater prl of the day in the . tlischarc rf his dufies in I his body. I hope, 4berefbre, the rcsoluion will be unanimously adopted.

If the appointment was to be merely tempo ro. rary, why not select for the station the Speaker of the last Houfe 1 He said that he should move lo lay ihe solution's 1n the tabU Mr. Bayly wa in favor of ;the proposition. Only one objeciiln had been; suggested in re gard to it that.jas there was rip probability of electing a Spealer, the geinltman- proposed fur chairman would become the Speaker- The gentleman proposed for chaij-man was the se nior member by lerviee in the body, and ii was the practice tu cect the senior member. In the 27th Congress the House was placed; in a situation similarj to that it now occupied and Mr. Adam, by a motion frorti ihe opposite side was invited, as father of ihe House, to lakp ihe chair. The gentlamn from Kentucky was ihe one who by usage should ocjeup the chair. He therefore saw no objection to the resolution, as the chairman could do nothing but keep or der, to preserve ! which the clerk would have influence. ! Mr. Aleiandef Evans moved to amend ihe second resolution by striking; out all aftef the word resolved and inserting the following : 44 That Linn Boyd and Samuel F. Vinton act as chairmen of this House, each sitting alter nately one day ftt a time until a Speaker As c i I i 5 Mr. McCIernand, at the suggestion of Mr. Scbenck, modified his second resolution by adding thereto the following : j ' Provided, That the dGties of sucht empora ry chairmen shall be conn tied to keeping order during the necejary steps and proceedings for the election ofa Speaker ohly, and i shall not relate to any act of legislation." Mr. "Schenck made a remark which was not heard. '. : Mr. Root playfully' remarked that; if "there was to bo any compromise, ho would like to have all parties! represented. He should like to see both Mr. Boyd and M r. Vinton eleeted chairmen ; but, as he had a colleague who was quite an old soldier In the service, he pro. posed for chairman, in addition to the other two gentlemen named, the Hon, Joshua R. Gid dings. (Much aughter.) He was very hap py, he said, to find that his proposition met with universal acceptance, and gaive pleasure to all. Mr. Wilmot maintained that there was no necessity for thfl adoption of the resolution. He had had some experience in the House, and had never seen better order in it lhan du ring the three f preceding days. There had been both good order and good feeling, j He had not seen the disorder mentioned by the gentleman from Illionois. Then why not pro ceed as they had done 1 The adoption df the resolution would only protract the contest. The motion to lay ihe resolution on the table being pressed, it was decided in the affiima. live by the following vote ; Yeas 116 Nays 105.

L Mr. Hilliard of Alabama, Mr. Miliar, of Ohio, Mr. Strohg, of Pennsylvania, and' Mr. Duer, of New York, continued to act as tellers. Fourteen voles had been taken on the three preceding days, without effecting a choice. The Clerk now called the roll for the fifteenth trial, which resulted prclty much as above; and which we do not think worth while to give in j detail, as also, ihe 16th, 17ih', 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, and 2 2d trials, when On motion of Mr. Levin, the House adjourn ed till to-morrow at 12 o'clock.

The advocates of a Southern Convention who pretend to be so desirous of preserv ing the rights of the South, are letting out their real designs pretty early and are killing the project in the very bud. Some of the South Carolina and Georgia papers are urging thjat-this Convention, which has been calleld at Nashville in June next, for the purposje of uniting the South on the Slavery question and protecting the Southern righfs7shall nominate a Candi date forthe Presidency; and point to Mr. Calhoun, of course, as the man. If the organization of a Presidential party, and the; adoption of a candidate is to be considered an appropriate end and summary of deliberations by this Conven tion, we havejno hesitation in saying that we are opposed to the whole scheme. The great question of Southern rights, to be properly and successfully handled, must be kept free of party and the strug gles of ambitious aspirants for political power. It has heretofore been charged, that the aim of this Convention was to form a Southern Confederacy, of which John C. Calhqun was to be the President, If so, the aims are only now appearing ; and we warnjthc whigs of the South to be on their gtjard. It isnot, and it can not come to good" 7 So far as any of those designs militate. in advance, against the union of the States, so far are they throwing difficulties in the way of the maintenance of Southern rights and pander to the designs of the Aboli tionists of thej North who wish to drive us out of the Union. If Sir. Calhoun is to be the prominent champion of Southern rights, well and good but the South can never unite upon him for President. And a great manjr reasonable Southern men think lhat almost any other South more safe and prudent lea ern man is a der. We are willing to have Mr. Calhoun's aid, in any struggle for our rights which may be before us but if we are to under take one, thit the fruits, "may enure to his benefit" so far as we are concerned the game is pp ; and the Southern Con vention that we go for must be single in its character; and disconnected with party.

As a survey had already been made of the route from Buck Creek by Island Ford the new survey took an entirely different direction passing down the Catawba river to Morganton, and thence by Mor- ganton, the South fork of the Catawba and Newton, to Shuford's Ferry thence by the dividing ridge between the waters of the Catawba and Yadkin to this place, This route will give an accurate base line upon which to predicate the location of the road. GUILFORD'S REPLY. Our readers will find below a reply to the "Card" published in our last, on the subject of the contest between Guilford and Rowan. Guilford, V will be seen, accepts the challenge of lheTRowan boys, with the air of one who is confident of success having once before, under cir cumstances of great odds in her favor, borne off the palm of victory. She tic kles us smartly, however, when we dis- cover a disposition to apologies for not beating us in proportion to those advan- tages. For, says she, 44 after having care fully picked your time and men, and call ed us to the field, when all where cheered alike by fair Ladies and waving of white handerchiefs," 44 we regret you could not hold your hand with us," &c. Ha, ha, iimlford picked the time, and packed the gallery with pretty ladies, and Rowan had no share in that part of the business, But Rowan does calculate to have some- thing to do with a certain big dinner spo ken of in Guilford's reply. So look out. From the Greensboro' Patriot. The Delegation of Guilford county most! respectfully tender their compliments to the Delegation from the county of Rowan, and will cheerfully admit that you are a noble band of gallant spirits, and only re gret in last night's contest that you were not able to hold your hand with after having carefully picked your time and men and called us lo the field, when all were cheered alike by the 44 the smiles of fair Ladies and the waving of white hand kerchiefs." It is true, from the time you gave the challenge till the contest ended 'you worked hard, doing your best to bear j ed with the name otJtowan, but to give all the stockholders of the Road a sump iuous dinner, to oe graced by the smiles of the fair ladies of Guilford together with as many of the daughters of old Rowan as your new locomotive of that name can land in Greensboro' for a week and may fortune favor the brave !

Il was made, and we are as sured by an observant gentleman, noto't the profession, who was permitted to be, present, that it was done with a skill ani address in the highest degree creditabiej The formation ofa false membrane, lining the whole extent of the windpipe, which got broken, and choked up the natural tube for breathing as well as the artifi. cial one, were all' so clearly developed bj this examination, and furthermor?, the utterly desperate character of the' other symptoms so manifestly appeared, lhat it was a source of pure satisfaction to the friends of the little sufferer, that the ex amination was made. It revealed to tha i physicians lhat their means bad been ju diciously selected and their efforts pro perly directed : in other words, that tbry understood the disease and treated it pro- j perlyvbut that its violence defied their power. We take ihis occasion to say from all we have heard of the case and its treat ment' il reflec,s the highest degree cf credit upon the Medical profession of ocr town, (lor alio! them tendered their ser vice upon tbe occasion,) not only for sVill but for the most assiduous 'aod unremit ting attention, and we are authorized bj Dr. H. to tender them, through this me dium, bis most sincere thanks.
