Senator Benton and the Young Ladies' The
correspondent oftlle Portland Advertiser, after
speaking ofMr. Webster's great speech against
the Protest, adds:
cater Webster finished, Benton began one
of his roaring and ranting speeches, the like Of
which | never witnessed in Washington-never
out of a lunatic asylum. He turned full about,
and appealed to the "young misses in the as
~sembly-and in the course of his performance
tore apart two or three sheets of papeT, to show
how the Senate accused the President Of tear
ing the Constitution. He said, among other
things, even the young misses came to hear the
President called a usurper and a tyrant, and to
study history, as the Presidents character was
contrasted with the Caesars and the Cromwells;
and he turned about and asked them if they did
not. The whole House giggled; and if the
young misses had been allowed to answer, they
would probably have answered that they came
to laugh at him.
SIN the course of his remarks, Benton said
the terms of the Senators ought to be cut down.
Ecce signum! The war is now upon that body,

O. YE HOURS.

o! We hours, We sunny hours!
Floating lightly by,
Are we come with birds and flowers,
Odors and the blue sky?
Yes, we come, again we come,
Through the wood paths free,
Bringing many a wanderer home,
With the bird and bee.
0! We hours, we sunny hours!
Are ye waiting song?
Doth wild music strain in showers
All the groves among?
Yes, the nightingale is there,
While the starlight reigns,
Making young leaves and sweet air
Tremble with her strains.
o! We hours, We sunny hours!
In your silent flow,
Ye are mighty powers!
Bring me bliss or wo?
Ask not this!-ob! ask not this!
Yield your hearts awhile
To the soft winds balmy kiss,
And the heavens bright smile.
Throw not shades of anxious thought
Der the glowing flowers!
We are come with sunshine fraught,
Question not the hours!

The truth about this matter of the French
Treaty probably is, that the French King and
the Ministry, were DESTROYS OF executing the
treaty according to its letter, but the deputies,
having taken some freak into their heads, by a
small majority, declined making the necessary
appropriation. That they may think better OF
it on a future occasion, and vote the necessary
sum, is not improbable. That the Ministers were
in earnest, is obvious from the fact that two OF
them Immediately resigned their places.
We therefore can discover no great cause for
uneasiness, or resentment. 1t may be that there
is Kitchen Cabinetin Paris, as well as at Wash
ington, and that some French Amos kendail,
or Globe Blair. wished to blow up Louis Phil
hpe's Unit, and adopted this course merely to
get rid OF the Duke de Broglie and General Sc
b~as.iana, and have the way for the introduction
into the Cabinet proper of some Monsieur Ia
ney, to take charge of the deposites, and put
down that "Golden Calf the treaty with the
United States. Stranger things have happened
IN tho world; and the result will shew how Tar
