position is also entertained that they may be Joined
by an additional force from Michigan, Col Suiher-
land having recently been on mission 10 the inte-
rior TO raise recruits and organize corresponding

The Richmond EngHirey's opinion Of INN.

The Republican, however, seems 10 have aban-
doned all prospect OF adjustment. He asks US, if
MT Calhoun will agree 10 any thing in the shape of
compromise? We are free TO say, that we doubt
il. Mr.. G. has been living too long in troubled
waters, to encourage any such hops. He is not the
political friend of MFR. Van Buren--and wiz feel
no such inducements, as will operate upon the Re
publican and ourselves His gigantic but eccentric
mind wants ballast John P. King, has, We fear,
drawn his portrait, BY one mastery stroke Of the
pencil: II We give him control, he will ruin us:
and il we do not he'll leave us in less than twelve
months. But. if Mr., Calhoun should indulge the
spirit OF conciliation shall be most happy TO be
disappointed. We confess, we look with more con-
fdence 10 the support Of his eloquent colleague, who

accession TO the compromise We will do without

In SENATE, yesterday, Hon. Mr.. TRoTTER,
the newly elected Senator from Mississippi,
appeared, was sworn, and took his seat.
Mr.. BUCHANAN presented the instructions
Of the Pennsylvania Legislature against the
Sub Treasury scheme, and expressed his de-
termination TO obey them in all respects.
Mr.. Clay, Of Kentucky addressed the Sc
nate from one o'clock until FIVE, in opposition
to the Sub Treasury scheme, in his usual
style Of cloquence and ability, and concluded
with most impressive appeal to the patriot-
ism fthe Senate.
In the course of his remarks, he said he re-
garded Mr.. Wrighfs bill and the substitute
presented by Mr.. Rives like two remedies pro-
posed by physician-but the first was a dose
Of arsenic, and the latter ptisan which could
do no harm and might be productive of the
most beneficial consequences. He declared
his intention to vote for Mr.. Rives' substi-
tute.
Mr.. CLAY literally demolished Mr.. CAL
HouN, who could only reply, that the Senator
from Kentucky had misrepresentcd him
throughout, when every body who heard the
respective arguments, knew the contrary to be
the fact.
