What cloud of thought on Web- ster's brow! It is gathering slowly, only to burst like an electric shock III some pointed reply. But Calhoun has built up his argument with too much caution. He has hanged out conductors oh all sides of 1t.
 Were l called upon to selectfrom the Sen- ate the man best qualified to rule the na- tion-despite of his being nnllifer, should choose Calhoun. He has just the right kind of knowledge for such an ofice.-- From a long participation in the affairs of government he is intimately aequaited with all it's ramiications. Some time ago, in his native place. heard two mechanics earn-s esfIy disputing whether their Senator was the best Blacksmith or Carpenter. They each claimed him as being first their trade, when fortunately a brawny looking farmer came up and ended the dispute by swearing that Johnny Calhoun he had known from a little shaver. he knowed him to be the best farmer in all the country, and would lick any man who denied what lie said to be true.n Although the farmers argument was the most s.powerful,1 ? the parties were nevertheless all true for such is the versa tility of Calhoun's mind, that he imparts lightto every subject upon which he exer- cises it. In society of any kind he is more at home than any man with whom have ever met. lie has all the accomplishments of Lord Bolingbroke stampedinto themould of nature. wish from my soul that he had better yoice--his stoop could easily ex- cuse-
 By his side, you observe a tall, portly looking person-with a playful eye, and countenance ripe with eloquence. He is Preston. the other Senator from South Car olina-decidedIy the first orator the Sem ate, so far as mere oratory goes. If you had never been told so, you may have traced his relationship to Patrick Henry, in the full blooded veins of his forehead.- He is grace all overland that awkward hump in the shoulder is all affeetaton.- But as David Crockett would say, ''he is working agin nature '-he cannot do 1t. Did YOU ever hear Preston when animated! then you recoIleet his peculiar powers. Just like a cataraet-new dashing and tum- bling precipitousiy along, sweeping in its course earth, tree and roc ated now, float 3 aIlse.o afsst1e et1eatgs sgjss q sands. l gllitering under tic 9ofgeols fainbows oi the spray above. His language, his ges- lure, his figure are all poetry. He IS the Apollo Belvidere of the Senate house. have but one reason to urge why he should change his wig-its redness. In ali other fepeets, it is tho most graceful auxiliary to his eloquence imaginable. Behold him !- In tbe most maddened strain he is bringing down the severest maledictions on the head ofthe present administration. His hands are raised conyulsively-wit what terrible effect fhey are brought to his head-the whole man shrinks from the grasp-and his whole bo- dy has paused in an attitude of the most breathless silence. Now, all of that was trick-trick from the beginning to the end ing-it was planned and executed chiefly to adjust his vic, which, in the warmth of his argument, had slipped from it's proper position. The great fault of Preston IS that he speaks too much. Great men some- times ritter away their abilities by making 1t too common. Let him take care.
 That amiable, thrifty looking parsonage to the right of Preston, is Forsyth of Georgia. He has on brown coat, and Nankin pam taloons, wove in Rhode Island, out Of cot ton from his own plantationin Georgia-He smiles complacently now--but now, more i so than ever--he has in his pocket an ap- pointment to the office of Secretary of State. His hair, which is very full, is suf- fered to grow too long, and his whiskers, which are gray, he should most assuredly cut off, if he does not wish 10 resemble Martin too much. He speaks well, and is the ablest administration manin the Senate. He can catch wink from ths Vice Presi- dent as quick as mink.
 Behind Forsyth, your eyecan't help rest ] ine upon plump, tobaccochewing, jolly looking fellow, in figure Ike bottle of best Burgundy-asll the wold over. l do not wish to insinuate that he drinks the aforementioned article, tholgh one might naturally enough venture upln such pre- sumption, from the rubicundty of his face. That is honest Felix Gruny--honest as I the easiest handled tool of tie President
 To the right of Felix, thin, long nosed, straight forward old sentleman, with voice seldom above whiper, but always audible. He speaks well, md was once the friend, but now the eneny of the ad- ministration. Polndexter ishis name.
