On the 2lst of February, the Hon. ALBERT SMITH
made one OF the best speeches that has been made
in Congress the present session. He applied the
lash TO the deserving opposition members without
stint or mercy, which brought whole federal pack
to his heels but he bravely and most triumphantly
fought every federal desperate that opposed him.
We shall take an early opportunity to spread this
speech before our readers"
We copy the foregoing paragraph from paper
called "The Democrat" printed at Bangor, 10 the
State of Maine to enable Members of Congress and
others in this city, to know what is going on in the
Capitol, and which they would not be very likely
otherwise TO find out The Democrat announces,
"In this paper published the laws Of this State
and OF THE UNITED STATES, by authority" Fearing
we shall not soon have an opportunity of reading this
most unsparing speech in the Democrat or any other
paper, and anxious 10 know when and where the
whole federal pack, which were at his heels" were
so trumphantly fought and conquered, we ask some
gentleman TO give the necessary information. Se-
riously. does Mr. Smith write these pufs of himself
No other man would risk his reputation by inditing
such paragraph as the above quoted. This Is not
the first instance this session, Of gross and un-
founded commentator bestowed upon Mr. Smith,
by the party papers in Maine. An article auribu-
ting to him remarks irhicA mere never made run the
rounds Of The papers in that State some weeks ago,
and became the subject of comment by some of the
Wing presses, and the mendacily was thus exposed
II Mr.. Smith continues this system Of selcpuing at
the expense OF other members, we shall feel bound
to expose it. He may puff himself as much as he
peases, and swell il into any dimensions he fancies,
provided it be not done by assumed attacks and
triumphs over the Wing portion of the House, which
are utterly fallacious. We have no apprehension
that the people Of Maine will be much deceived by
this article. Mr.. Smith is as we'll known here as he
IS there: and as well known there as here; and we
think the paragraph in the Democrat, under such
circumstances, quite harmless

parts Of the United States and turned to very
valuable account in a variety of ways. The versa

letter from firm In the interior Of Pennsylvania,
which gives us some interesting facts, which we
think are worthy of publicity.
The oil derived from the sun flower seed is pretty
well known. It's excellence for fancy painting and
druggist is said to be confirmed, and we
told that it is equal If not superior almond or olive
oil for table use. One acre Of ground will produce
from forty TO iny bushels Of seed, sometimes much
more Good seed will produce gallon Of oil to the
bushel and the oil has been sold at 81 SO per gallon
when faxseed oil stood at ninety cents.

a valuable food for cattle.

CHARACTER OF GEN. HARRISON.

The lntelligencer has concluded in seven
numbers, an able and very interesting review
Of Gen. Harrison's career in Congress. The
editor gives the following complimentary YER
dict, at the end, as the result Of his re-
searches
No unprejudiced man can have accompanied us
through this review, without acknowledging 10 him
sell that the high repute of Gen HARRISON as Sol
der, Territorial Governor, Commander of Ar
mics, does not constitute his only claim the gra-
ttude OF his tellowcitiZens nor his best title to the
confidence which they are now asked to repose in
him. We place his claim to public confidence on
loftier ground when we rank him among the most
eminent OF his fellow-cizens, as a rich in in
teectual gifts and rare requirements uniting in
his character the wisdom OF age and the buoyancy
OF YOUTH elevation of soul and humility OF preten-
sion, slIong sense OF justice, and diffusive hui
manity. Are not these the elements of true great
ness Are they not qualities such as justify the
distinguished honor conferred upon General HARRi-
SON, in being placed by the most illustrous body Of
Republicans that has assembled in this country with
IN the last fifty years. their candidate for the Chief
Magistracy Of the Nalionl
With all the brilliant qualities which distinguish
him as Warrior a Civilian, and Statesman,
General HARRISON has yet always prided himself
upon belonging TO the Farming interest and depen-
ding upon the reward of labor in that vocation for
The support of himself and his family. His highest
boast, when he comes 10 speak oil himself is that he
is enc 81 hs f'cope. This sentiment, always upper
most in his mind in come xion with his devotion 10
the general good we cannot better illustrate in con-
cusion, than by the following further extract from
one OF his speeches In the Senate:
The policy Of the country was in his opinion, to
lessen the expenses OF agriculture and to remove If
possible, the difficulties with which the farmers OF
The country have now to struggle. He was farmer
himself and he spoke OF those difficulties as one who
had experienced them. He farmer alone He
did MT opn a bank share IN the corld nor had he a
lata,ng tnrested IN mercantile business but depended

Mgs jam,ty lie therefore felt kindred interest In
the welfare OF the agricultural class. But he never

THE TABLES TURNED.

While the Treasury Note Bill was under
consideration in the House, the Government
paper here was, day after day, filed with
contumely and insult towards the independent
representatives Of the people who gave i. a
fair opposition, and discussed the financial
policy of Government with candor and mode
ration. They are assailed regularly with the
most Infamous calumnies. as being "factious,"
as willing to break down the Government, as
hostile to the republican institutions Of the
country. &c. &c.
The bill passed, and was sent to the Sc
nate. And what took place there MIR.
BENTON, one of the bulwarks Of the Admit
nistration, and the peculiar favorite of the
Globe clique, resisted its passage, and for the
Uery same reasons which were urged against
it by the republicans in the House Why
sleeps the thunder of the Executive organ,
when the Missouri Senator thus proved him
self so factious," and "willing to bring the
Government into discredit 7"
Where was their arm Oh vengeance, where
thy rod ?"
Again: 1t happened that some of the OPP
position members were absent when the final
vote was taken on the passage of the bill in
the House, at a very late hour of the night,
and after series Of long and exhausting
sessions. Mr.. Van Burens official editor,
after searching about the dirty places Of his
imagination for word suitable to his pc.
culiar taste, said they had g a6sconded" and
as if this choice selection from his foul vo.
cabulary was not sufficient. he added, they
dared not venture to array their vote against
it on the journals"
Well, now. Messrs. Wright, Grundy, Mou-
ton, Smith, Of Connecticut, and Tappan, what
became Of you, when the vote was taken ON
the bill in the Senate "ABscoNDEp Z"
Dared you not venture to array your votes
against it on the journal 7"
Mr.. BENroN, it seems, had the courage both
to speak and vote against it. But you, men
OF less metal, by the Globes inferences must
have " absc0nded."
All this shows the absolute worthlessness
OF the Globes censure or praise. Both are
alike unprincipled, unreasoned, and contempti-
Bile.
