FROM WASHINGTON.

THE U)Wi SESSION IN THE HOUSE.r li'-.n., ( nrrwpooienea of TV) N Y Tri*-««*

WASHINGTON, Jan. '.), rfeaia*-.Wa have had as eicitcd day in th- House, aai

seem to he in for a stonny night TV Anti-Nebraskaand the Democratic Membera seemed te be maiuiyagreed for once io the opinion that the Hon*.« hwbeen long enough trying to elect a Speaker, andmust finish up the job, or at least provide f.»rfinishing it, before it adjourns. Only the SouthAmericans and a very few stragglers are stng-gling for adjournment, and they do not usuallymuster quite enough to order the Va.vi tuul s,».on their motions to adjourn, adjourn over, rescindthe ten-minnte rule, dc. Hot the Clerk decidesthat it does not require one-fifth of a quorum toorder the Yeas and Nays but one-fifth of those

pseaent; so that both sides must pass between thetellers on every demand of the Yeas and Nays;and this keep* most of the Members prettv con¬stantly on their feet. It is calculated, I ameamn,that tie majority may thus be tired out and com¬

pelled to adjourn before coming to any result. Weshall ace how they come out, but now (10 o'clock)though a gentleman decidedly obfascated by some¬

thing he has taken is on the floor, and making theHouse merry by his wandering observations, the'. wo'nt-go-bome-till-morning" sentiment seems dccidedly in the asceudant.Hut let n.e speak of some incident* of the day.Mr. Lkw m D. Campiu m. of Ohio made the

leading speech of the morning. Its intent was torender the election of Mr. Hanks impossible; itsaabjects were Mr. Giddings, Tut; TribI'.hh. TheNational Era, Ainericaniim. Ac. Mr. Giddingsvery kindly explained, and disclaimed any possibleintent to reflect on Mr. Campbell or impute any¬thing discreditable to him in the letter to an Ohiopaper which formed Mr. C'.'s text. I>r. Baileyinsists that his article read from to-morrow's Eraby Mr. C. was grossly garbled in the reading amicomments; and that he had not intended to claimMr. Hanks as arrayed agsinst ' Americanism "

Now a word as to Mr. Campbell's raid upon TmTRiniNE:

East Summer, a plan for bridging orer the chasmin the "Americsn Order" on thestibjeot of .slaveryE\tension, the utidenied production and in tbo hand-is. riting id Mr. E. D. Campbell, was shown confi¬dentially to one of the Conducton) of ThuTrhunk.It was not essentially a private paper; it was a planof union and reconciliation intended to be adoptedand stood upon; as such, it was confided by Mr.Campbell to other members of the Order, and bythem shown to others, at Philadelphia and else¬where. The member of TiiK TKiKr.\L'*> staff towhom it was shown while in circulation deemed ita surrender of the entire ground of opposition to

Slavery Extension, and so publicly denounced if.last Fall.it wa* again referred to in Tut: I riii

l/HE, in reply to letters from Mr. C.'s friends, anda demand made that it be published if Mr. C. in¬sisted that it had been misrepresented. It has nutbee n yet published; but Mr. Campbell ha* to-dayassured me that it shall be. Wheu it is. I will speakfarther of it..Hut Mr. Campbell to-day saw tit to speak in

connection with this matter of the Editor of TheTVBUKE as " now present," though Le was per¬fectly aware that 1 was in I urope long beton- andwhen these strictures on his proposed Americanplatform on Slavery appeared in THE Tkiiiim.We stated that he had boon accused by Tin:Trim nt of attending the Philadelphia AmericanNational Council, and there pres. nting a Pro-Slavery project, when he was at home in Ohio.Tbe fact is, that he was not so charged at all;

accordingly his assertion is a dodge, and rather a

small one, too. One who beaid Mr. Campbell to¬day, and was ignorant of the controversy in itspreceding stages, would have naturally supposedthat he never w rote a compromise platform on

Slavery at nil, and that the whole story was madeout of whole cloth by THE Tribi sr..

I will not follow Mr. Campbell further. Hisremaining friends in the House were sorry forI..m to day; manywho had been his friends WONsorry for thmieelvoe. Ho show ed himself anotherman from what they had supposed him. Let himpaAs.Mr. Campbell had made a lead with reference

to Americanism which several gentlemen fromf ennsylvania followed. The object w as to forceMr. Banks to place Lium-lf on a distinctive'. American" platform or compel his friends to

drop him. It see-ui* to me that this was alikeselfish and rhort sighted. The "Americans'' inthe House inifcbt have controlled ifs organization;but they could not fellowship each other. TheSouthern minority would not fraternize with theNorthern majority.w ould not even meet with them. would not recognize them as brethren. And now

the Northern wing, who could not possibly hopeto ohooee a Speaker without the aid of the A'itiK. N. Republicans, insisted ou forciug Mr. Hanksinto a position where the E'epublicans could not

sustain him without stultify ing themselves. I was

surprised to see gentleineu of sense and intclli-g< nee. who were not disappointed candidates, eu-

e.v..-d in this ungenerous and suicidal game.When Mr Hanks relused to gratify them to thefull extent, the ugh he raid as much a* they couldreasonably ask, they withheld their votes fromaim, running him down to ninety-two if not lower.Thus the day we re boisterously away, and at 5

o'clock the great chandelier was lighted and theHouse set in tor a night s work. Already therehad been several motions to adjourn detested; andtor the first time this Session the great majority ofboth the leading parties votes! together.no ad.muri m U Only the South Americans and thestragglers, w ith half-a-dozen from both the greatparties umtid. evinced a desire to adjourn.Mr. ETHMUIh.k of Tcun. here got off a good

thing. He is an "American," sternly opposed hoboth Hanks ar.d l.'ichardson. " Mr. Clerk." saidbe, " I perceive the House is now acting under a

resolve of tbe late Democratic cam us that thereshall be no recess or adjournment until a Speakeris chosen. For the puq»osc of relieving us fromembarrassment. 1 move that said resolro >- re¬

scinded."(reo. W. Jona of TV an.." My colicagne is out of

order. I wa* Chairman of the Democratic caucus,and I rule out his motion. The gentleman is not

a Democrat, and therefore not entitled to makeit."

Mr. CaR(.ti!J R> of Mo. made a capita! speechearly in the evening, which the House gave himleave to extend to an hour. He is a Southern Whig,but vote* steadily for Richardson. He gave Mr. H.M. Fuller of Pa. a pretty sharp going over and dem-ensrrated that his friends ought to vote either forBatAs or Kichardscn, and so end the contest.

hi r Boa ic of hid. made a lung and exceedinglyfinny (in spots) harangue in the course of theevening. Mr. B. seemed to have been imbibing,and discussed the Black Republican* and the enor¬

mity of excluding Slavery from the Territories, to

strong vote. "Call the roll!"Mr. P.une of N. C. (K. N.. who had been

moving to adjourn all the evening) now moved thatno motion to adjourn or take a recess should be inorder before Saturday unless a Speaker should

previously be chosen. A motion was made to laythis on the table. Meantime, two Members, scan-

dnlousiy drunk, insisted on talking both at a timeand cutting up sundry ridiculous antic*. Oneol them tunibb-d down. They were at lengthpers'.aded into seats. The teas and Nays wore
