"During the angry discussion, when the House
was sometimes noisy, the Speaker commanded
silence with unusual emphasis 'Gentemen, said
he, If we do arm and take the field, am sure we
shall be beat if there is not more order kept in the
ranks than in this house. | should be sorry TO
head so disorderlya body At that time, when
the old generals we're to be laid aside and success
full Juniors had not yet appeared, it was, among
other devices, one of the expediens contemplated
TO commission Mr.. Clay for the army; also Mr..
John Randolph, notwithstanding his nnmitigaed
opposition to the declaration of war. Superseded
by Mr.. Eppes, Mr.. Randolph was not n member of
the war Congress: his urgent constant, and potent
efforts to prevent the declaration having lost him
the district he so long represented Mr. Clay in the
field might have found there theatre for his genius,
possibly better adapted than Congress"
The limits of newspaper will not permit us to
follow Mr. lngersoll in his elaborate review of the
campaign under General Harrison; but we will
close this notice with the following reference to Mr.
Clay, and we would add to il the mastery and
finished portrait of Nathaniel Macon if il had not
been so recently inserted in the "Union."
CATER those British fugitive amphibous inroads
had taken place at Frenchtown, Havre de Grace,
Frcdercktown, and Georgetown, but before the be-
aforementioned occurrences at Craney island, Hamp-
ton, and Norfolk, on Monday, the gath of May,
lSl3--in the midst, therefore, Of these scenes Of
marauding and plunder--the session of Congress
began The Presidents message reminded us Of
the obligation Of adapting measures on the SUPPOSE
ton that the only way to peace was vigorous en-
poyment Of the resources Of war. And painful as
the reflection is it said this duty is particularly
forced by the spirit and manner in which the war
continues to be waged by the enemy, who, uninhu-
enced by the UNMARRIED examples of humanity set
them, are adding TO the savage fury OF II on one
frontier, a system Of plumber and confagration on
the Others equally forbidden by respect for national
character and by the established rules Of civilized
warfare.
