icle of Tuesday, in re-publishing MR.
Bar reS's Speech, reinarks:--
81 Since the part Of Mr.. Barton's Speech
whi ch we give TO day was in type, we
hav,s ! seen a gentleman who was present
dur ing the delivery of the remainder of it
on he second day, and who says that Mr..
BaI ton enchained the attention of the Sen.
ate and audience, and that so great was
the desire Of the members Of the other
ho ise to hear him, that il was with diff.
cul ty the Speaker could keep a quorum
Our informant represents Mr., Barton as be.
ing peculiarly successful in flooring Mr.
BE nton, who was acknowledged on all
hands to be fairly beaten down. So fear
ful was this gentleman of the castgation
he received. that he had not the courage
to come to the Senate during the two days
that Mr.. Barton was occupied in speaking.

enough TO approach the Capitol and resume
his chair. a Jealous friend Of Gen. Jack
sou remarked, that had he been Colonel b.
he would have stayed away for two weeks,
after so craven-hearted a deseriion Of his
place. Mr.. Barton is said to have been
unsparing in his application Oft the lash, and
70 have made many grave Senators wrthe
under the sting Of his satire. At times he
kept the Senate in roar for several min
utes together, during all which time his
own counte nance preserved the most i'm.
perturbable gravity. At Washington, we
learn, there is 10 diversity Of opinion as to
tho disgraceful defeat of Col. Benton"
