turing and monopoly interests are using every
efortto drive it through, but there are posi-
tive indications that 10 get it passed, the bin
must undergo some very important aitera-
tons. There is great difference between
encouraging the industry of our country, aud
prostratInG its commerce at the same time.
The disposition to increase the duties ON ma

line of encouragement To OnS interest. and
destruction 10 another, must be clearly and
distinctly drawn. / would not however en-

The nomination of Governor Edwards of
the Senate, as minister 10 Mexico, is still sus-
pended before that honorable body. | pre-
sumo it will be eventually confirmed, but there
may be some spots about it requiring polish

rubbing.
Our venerable President has missed his
mark astonisbingly, in supposing that it would
be q popular thing TO take ministers from the
Senate. Occasionally it may answer, but the
people will begin to look quite cross at Il con
tinuance of system which must introduce

is the main pillar of our national safety, and

An extract ola letter from Washington, pub

Mr.. Writ is now about fifty years Of age
His presence is peculiarly imposing, and all
his manners graceful He looks as though
he might well be The author ofthe British Spy,
in which the characters of Patrick Henry,
Chief Justice Marshall, and the blind preach
or in the mountains, have been so elegantly
drawn. His practice, beyond the limits Of his
official duties, is very extensive, and during
the present term Of the court he has been en-
gagged in almost every important cause which
has been argued
The character Of Mr.. Wirt's eloqucnce is Of
high grade. His voice is powerful, his tone
harmonious, and his enuncaiion clear and
distinct. lie never speaks without evincng
ardnr and feeling, and his 1urncy is peculiar
and never interrupted. He delights and CON
vocrs. and no man hears him without under
standing his Arguments sure indication Of y
clear bead and logical mind His argu-
ments are constantly enlivrncd by classical
illusions and flashes Of wit Many dry
cause, calculated 10 fatigue ADD weary, is thus
rendered interesting to the spectator, as well
as tO The court.
Mr. Wirt's legal requirements are extern
sive. He is a labOrious, si,dious man. BY
industry and perseverance he has added much
