tO maKe nmSeU mOcksncfOIc senatof.--s3 3 Opposite sat the trascendant Webster, with v his square forehead aud cavernous eyes
 aud behind, sat the homely Clay, with the
 face and figure of a farmer, but something
 the air of divine, from his hair being
 combed straight back from his iemples.-- : Near them sat Southard asd Porter; the < former astute and rapid in gestures; thea at latter strangely mingling boyish fun and J llghtness of manners and glance, with the T sobriety suitable to the judge and senator. His keen eye taking in every thing that 4 passes; his extraordinary mouth, with it's
 overhanging lip, which has but to unfold
 into smile, to win laughter from the sour- N
 est official or demagogue. Then there was z the bright honhommie of Ewing of Ohio, q ihe most primitive looking of senators; and the benign religious gravity of Frelinghuy- }' sen. the gcntlenanly air of Boclianan, the
 shrcwdness of Poindexter, the somewhat
 me lanclloly simplicity of ; Silsbee,--alis sr these. and many others. were striking;
 and for nothing more than lheir total uil- f likeness to each other. seif5o. asf' na&9}b No English person who has not travelled ' over half the world can form an idea of J such differences among men forming one, 2 ! assembly for the sanls purposes. and speak ing the same language. Some were de- x, seconded from Ouch farmers, some from French hugenots,l some from. Scotch puri-i V ians, some from English cavaliers, soma la ] from Irish ciieftains. They were brought { together out oflaw courts sugar fields, ,lnier- chants stores, mountain farms, forests and j
 prairics. The stamp of originality was impressed on every one, and inspired a i deep, involuntary respect. I have seen \ Tho assembly of chosen men, and no com- q Ipany of the high-born, invested with the
 ansique dignities of an antique realm, half lection of sto1t-souled, full grown, original
 men, brought together on the ground of I their supposed suficiency, to work out the \ will oftheir divers constituents. 4 a 4 Chief Justice ef ike Usited Sfates.- .jWilh Judge Story came the man to whom hc had looked up with feelings little short

 something ofhis individual merits and ser- vices and he maintained through life, and carried to his gave, a reverence for woman, /,
 as rare in its kind as in its degree. 1t had < all the theoretical feryor end magni6cence of Uncle Toby's, with the adyantagei of
 being grounded upon an extensive knOwl-,5
 edge of the sex. He wss the father and grandfather of women; and out fthis ex- perience he brought, not only the love and
 pity which their offices and position com
 mand, and the awe of purity which they
 excie in the minds of the pure, but steady conviction ofiheir intellectual equality with os~A sf.s se sl.n:~,
 social injuries. Throughout life he 90 in-y l yariably sustained their cause, that no in- dulgeDt iihertine dared to flatter and ho-
 nor; no sceptic, secure in the possession
 of power, dared to sco6 at the claims of
 woman in the presence of Marshall, who.
 made clear sighted by bis purity, knew the t fair sex better than either. How delighted [
 we were to see Judge Story bring in the ,
 tall, majestic, brigh.-eyed old man !--oldp
 by chronology, by the lines on his com
 posed face, and by his services to the re-
 public; but SO dignifed, 50 fresh, so present
 io the time, that no feeling of compassion- ate consideration for age dared to mix with
 the contemplation of him. The first evs- hing, he asked much about English politics,
 and especially whether the people were
 not fast ripening for the abolition of our
