g1-Thc Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, in letter to that paper, writes thus
of Senator Allen, of this State.
.sAllen is one of the most energetic and most
ultra radical democrats of the day. He has strong
hold upon the popular affections, as having risen
10 head of division from the ranks. Some thirty
wears ago he came into Ohio from North Caroina;
an orphan boy-went first to a trade-then to the
study oflaw, then he was elected TO the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES in Congress by one vote majority;
then to the Senate by majority OF two votes
then to the Senate by more decided majority
He distinguished himself last session by his great
commercial speech on Texas annexation. Inc
speech OF Choate was unqnestlonably the most
beautiful, methodicaI, classical and poetical upon
the subject The speech of Buchanan was PLAIN
matter offact review OF the question in Its pract
cal bearings. Rives, Archer, Henderson, Wood
bury, Simmons, Huntington, Upham, and Bates,
made good constitutional arguments. Dayton
gave many new views of the case. Walker ham
died il like subject that he had learned by heart
in all ITS bearings Haywood did his duty to gen
eral administration. But the great speech OF all
the speeches, was neither among those, nor was 1t
Merrick's clever appeal, nor that OF any other
Senator, excepting Allen, OF Ohio. His basis,
the commercial ground, covered all future contln-
pencies dependent upon the Texas anneXation.-
His treatment of it was bold, original, novel; and
convincing. 1t was general in its views, yet MIN
ute, specific and comprehensive in its deductions.
1t was that speech which established Qor it was not
established before) the character of Allen as a
great practical, sound and vigorous statesman and
orator, looking the broad field of the question,
and scanning at glance its defencble or defence
less points of assault. Allen has been TO our per-
sonal knowledge, next to Col. Benton, the most
industrious student since he has been senator. oi
any of his age He has improved rapidly in his
acquisitions of all useful knowledge in the science
of government, direct or remote.

Though there are vacancies in the delegations
from Virginia, Mississippi, Tennessee, aud lndl-
ana, yet, as the Legislature OF those states are
democratic, and will elect democratic Senators,
we have put them down in our columes, for con-
yenience' sake. When Texas and Iowa come
INTO the Union, there will be "a democrats TO "a
wings in the Senate, thus putting our continued
ascendancy in that body beyond even the shadow
of doubt Whatever may be the result offuture
national elections, we regard it as all but certain,
that for the next quarter of century, the demo.
Gratis must control the Senate, so that the tate OF
whi. measures may be regared as sealed Look
ing at the subject cooly, we do not see how 1t Is
possible for the whig party ever again to nave
