 be but little dOdging. went into the Senate chamber at l9 o'clock, when the Senate met not six spectators were present, and OfcourSe there was but little noise. such as comes from the bustle of multitude; and soon afteFs when the Journal was read. out went the com mittee of arrangements in behalf of the Se- nate. headed ny MT. Ciay-aOd immediately alter, under this escort, came in Gen. Jack son. then the whole Cabinet, then Mr. J..Q I Adams. and the committee of arrangements in behalf Of the HOuse-all seating themselves in the narrow area Of the Chamber, between the SenaIors' seats, and just under the Clerks desk"
 :" Here was the spectacle desired to see. On the right was Jackson then, in the same row in regular order, Forsyth. the Secretary ofStaie, WOodbury. of the Treasury. Dicker- son. of the Navy, Cass; Of the War. Barry, of the Post Office Departments, and Butler, the Attorney General. Fronting these. on the extreme left. was J. O. Adams, the Ex-Presi- dent. then the Committee nf Arrangements for the House, then Henry Clay with his feet quite touching Gen. JacksOn's directly in his front, then Hugh l.. White, then Daniel Web ster, then John c. Calhoun, and then came
 James Buchanan. Here was an Ex. Presi- dent. who had defended Gen. Jackson in the most doubt ful hour of his life. Probably a man of more varied requirements than any other man in this country, tSc model of the intense and devoted scholar, now within few
 feet fthe man who had vivalled him in popn- larity before the people, and with whom, now, on account of political conflicts. he was not e. ven on speaking terms. Here was Henry Clay, fronting the man whose measures he had SD often reprobated, with countenance ever expressive, now more expressive than hs. ls,x sn SNa WpPeS. brow elevated. his face glowing with a satis- faction, that seemed to say, {" might have had your place ifI would have used your means tO win it.
 Then ihere was White. with his patriarchal look in the Chair, between Clay and Webster; ; then Daniel Webster himself, the illustriOUs expounder 0f the Constitution, who as an Or- ator and Statesman. will go down tO pos. t~rity with fame lnOre dazzling than any other American, the Edmund Burke of this cUuntry, whose efforts the coming student will read with the same glow of enthusiasm that we now read Cicero and De'n0sthenes- then John C.. Calhoun, the brilliant thinker, the dazzling statesman. man full ofthought, with which, if may be allowed the exPres- sion, he ever seems tO he boiling over, man
 who strikes of axioms in sentences, and who
 will say more in an hour than any other man
 
 last of al! in the line. came MT. Buchanan. the famous witness between Jackson and Clay. whose story dare say, your readers will re- member. Evidently nearly all were embar- rassed. As Jackson came in, he bowed to the Senate, and such Senators as were on speaking terms with him, returned the saiuta- tiOn--but there was nO PespOOse, \ venture to say, from Clay, Calhoun and POindexter.--- Here was the old Lion himself with his brist- ling gray hairs. in the very Chamber of the body whom he has denounced in hjs Protest. The old gentleman was not easy. / Now bis
 eyes were upon the empty galleries. and anon
 he would be talking with Forsyth. King of Alabama. came 10 his relief; and then Judge White gave him a whisper. Clay sat in front
 playing with his clOak-ard in the midst of ail this grave. like silence. for grave like it had become, as if 10 ridicule the very gravity of the scene, sent the Messenger boy q Grafton," to bring him pinch of snuff from the hox of Senator Prentice, upon whom he draws b- eraly for this favor. Webster was on socially good terms with all. and therefore unembar rassed. Calhoun talked to Buchanan with all his might. P0indexter, who probably has warmer friendsand bi,tterer enemies than any other man in the Senate. sat near, looking un. utterable things. John Q. Adams had on his solemn, decisive, ard somewhat obstinate face and Forsyth his mingled look of pleas antry and scosn. Benton, the great architect of mischief, was busy writing in the distance. And over all, in the Vice Presidents Chair, was the little Magician himself, with that ev- erlasting smirk on his month--.nOw more strongly marked than ever--having on his ca sy, and happy, self satisfied look, as if he were hut a spectator in this extraordinary assem- blaze of 90 many opposite characters in one room, all crowded in the same small area of the Senate Chamber! lam 10 phrenoogist. IfIwcre. think should have seen more in this spectacle---but dO profess to believe something in PhysiOgD0my-and ! never be- fore saw more powerful illustrations of the force ofcharacter as displayed in mems faces, thus having the opportunity of making imme- diate comparisons and seeing sO many re- markahle men, all of them under some degree of restraint. How many were the thoughts that ran through all their minds! How many different characters each man had to run to stand in his present position! How OppOslte were they all in their characters! For over twenty minutes the spectacle was to ise seen. and all this time in an extraordinary siIence- but when it was over had just began to see what was to be seen.
