Arkansas.—Archibald Yell.
Michigan.—Robert McClelland, John S. Chapman, James B. Hunt.
The delegates from territories were:
Florida.—Edward C. Cabell.
Iowa.—Augustus C. Dodge.
Wisconsin.—Morgan L. Martin.
The election of Speaker was readily effected, there being a large majority on the democratic side. Mr. John W. Davis, of Indiana, being presented as the democratic candidate, received 120 votes; Mr. Samuel F. Vinton, of Ohio, received the whig vote, 72. Mr. Benjamin B. French, of New Hampshire, was appointed clerk (without the formality of an election), by a resolve of the House, adopted by a general vote. He was of course democratic. The House being organized, a motion was made by Mr. Hamlin, of Maine, to except the hour rule (as it was called) from the rules to be adopted for the government of the House—which was lost, 62 to 143.
