 WASHINGTON, Oct. Sd.
 DoINGs IN WAsHrNToN-QU1Ps, oUIRKs, AND QUIDD1TIEs OF WASHINGTON PoL1T1c1ANs-We have had an important day in both Houses of Congress. Jacksonism, Van Burenism, Loco Focoism, Conservativeism, and all the isms and SchtSms of American politicians, have stalked unevenged amongst us. The aristocratic' United States Senate, Gas Mir. Rlves of the Globe, and the Administration party have often called it,) have embraced the worst kind of Loco Focoism, Jacksonism, Fanny Wrightism. Ming, Sling & Co, and Slam, Bang & Co.,, are only equalled in the "aristocratic" United States Senate. MT. OuttrOuu huo PuSSeU IIIe NuDICOn, and deIlV- cred speech upon equality, and the liberty of equality, surpassing in virulence and in its spirit of agrarianism, all the former eff | [ Clay, Preston, Crittenden, and the other Whig Senators arguments, Mr. Calhoun calls "neicspaper rGbblings'-the odds and ends of newspaper columns, put forth in the form of sober argument. "Mr. Buchanan has an- sWered MT. Webster" says Mir. Calhoun, therefore shall llnot-cANNoT-answer him. MT. Webster has answered my arguments with denunciations for the want of argument having little argument to use, and plenty of denunciation." A Bank of the United States is huge hydra, with horns and cloven feet ," the State Banks of the United States are but eight hundred yampyres and har. pies" and to cap the climax, Banks will destroy the morals and intellscts of the people" l-"tney are unfavorable to LG,c, Physic, and Dtuanay" Mirabile Dictu!
 In sober truth, l am not doing injustice to MT. calhoun. All that l have said he has sald, and sad too in manner so unlike Mir. Calhoun, that l could hardly believe MT. Calhoun of the twenty fifth Congress to be MT. Calhoun of the twenty -fourth-so ill- tempered. personal and undignitied has been both his matter and manner of debate. Po- lltical summersetS seem to be the order of the day. No man can discover his political longitude and latitude-fogs, clouds and specifications hang over politicians so heav- fly, that 1t is almost impossible to discover the whereabouts of half of the prominent pol iticians of the country. Here is John c. Gal. houn, for example, whom the Globe, a few months since, said would never speak the truth when lie would suit his purpose, sud- denly, in the cracking of whip as it were, metamorphosed into one of the pets and idols of the Globe! He. who but yesterday was any thing but an honest, or consistent, or an intelligent man, to-day is distinguished tor his condensation of thoaght-Jor ais knoacl- edge of the doctrines of jfnance--tor his erperi.
