ers, on our first page, with the best ske'cn
which we have seen Of the celebrated speech
IF Mr.. Prentiss of Miss, in Congress, on the
subject of the defalcations Of government OH
GERS. II cannot fail to interest and amuse
every one who will read it, while the impress
sion it gives of the corruption which has been
practised, will astound as il seem TO us, even
the most devoted supporter of the adminls'ra-
ton. The effect at Washington is said to
have been tremendous II is to be hoped that
full report of both this and Mr.. Wse's
speech on the same subject, will be published,
which if circulated as extensively as was that
of Mr.. Bond last year, must produce great
sensation in the country. We intend TO give
hereafter sketch of Mr.. Wise's remarks, and
we hope our readers will give their attention
to the Developments which are now being
made ofthe doings Of the men in power. The
Secretary of the Treasury seems to be con-
demned out of his own mouth. MIR. Wise
has already moved his impeachment. The
correspondent of the N. Y. Express, says of
Mr.. Prentiss' speech,
mo sketch can do It justice. The H.
Illustrations made up the beauty Of the
speech. The facts and deductions brought
forward made up its strength. Mr. Prem
tss has power OF illustration both orig
inal and unequaled He is flower
garden of metaphors and tropes. Every
sentence, not matler.of.iaci one, is ilustra-
ted by a figure OF speech His mind abounds
in rich imagery and his images are so pc
cuiar and appropriate that they leave a
strong impression upon the memory OF the
hearer. To-day he has kept an intelligent
and brilliant audience alternately excited
with Indignation and merriment indignation
against the Administration and Administra-
tors OF the Government, and excited the
most boisterous laughter at the novelty Of
his illustrations.
Some OF Mr. Prentiss' passages were heart.
stirring specimens ofthe power Of eloquence.
One for example. where he gave "A picture
of the Administration OF General Jackson
where the prediction OF friend OF that Adj
ministraton was literally ful6lled,-that if
General Jackson was elected President it
would be necessary TO legisale with swords
in your belts. That time had been in these
United Siatcs,-when the law was blood
law when The pistol and the bludgeon were
the laws of moraiity.-when members met
in the Halls Of Congress with the harness
on,--when the warfare was fierce and furi-
Gus and the cry was for blood. when the
power Of the Executive was almost .omnipo-
tent and when his clansmen arose at the
sound OF his trumpet like the followers Of
Rhoderick Dhu. These were black and
bloody times.
1t will require the whole strength OF the
10 sustain Mr. Woodbury.
The exposilions made Of the whiiened sep
nlchres, stagger the faith Of some Of the
warmest adherents Of the Administration
1t will require all the combined powers of
party promises. party faith, and party ap-
peas 10 sustain Mr. Woodbury. He stands
of imbecilty or corruption--oi
open iniquity or gross negligence-of Sc
rretly conniving at deialcntions, or Of sus-
aiming defaulters through the advice Of the
Executive"

trust it will not be long before it will be ex-
tended to the Canada line and thence to Mon
