HON. DIXON II. LEWIS.

Among those whose names should be most honorabl, associated with the success of The two l, adng measure, of the present Sessi of Congress-thc Revenue Tariff and rht Ind, pendent Treasury-is the Senator from Alaba ma, the indefalIgaple Chairman of the Commit. tee on Finance. High and well earned as was MT. LEWIS repua ion, he has added to il by the manner which he has discharged the dutles of his laborious and responsible office. He has shown equal ability 10 deal wit lihe minute de tails and the general principles of the meas ures il was h's duty to report, explain and de- fend 10 the Senate. He has faculty of clear statement and pialn terse argument that is as rare as it is valuable. Ills speech on the Tariff was remarkable instance of this,-and mod. e of vigor, perspicuity and direcness. There is no humbug about Mir. LEwIs-all is real and substantial in the exhibitions of his mind. He never amuses the galleries by fouristing his sword in the air-it is the enemy he always strikes at.
 Alabama should be and we believe is, proud of the well-earned fame Of her Senator, and the entire restoration of his health gives hope that the country will long have the benefit of his val uible servlces.

We regret that we have not sufficient space to publish entire, n correspondence between Hon. George M. Dallas. and some TWO hundred of his constituents, who cor. dially opprove his recent vote against the tariff. They alude 10 the recent workings of his political foes, as but momentary in their effect; and they predict that the pa- ramount interest of the land-will have req. son to rejoice at the frmness of your course and the independence with which it was ex- ercised, and place you, by exclamation, on the list with Jefferson and Jackson, who oullived every breath of islander, and whose memories are cherished in the hearts of millions of freemen."
 We copy the following extracts from Mir. Dallas reply. No honest man can read these extracts. and deny the iruthfulness, and the justice of the sentiments they express:
 "1he two interests of Pennsylvania, about which much anxiety was manifested, the iron and coal interests, will not, sincerely nope and believe, experience the injuries foretold. But, is it possible that our upright commonwealth can for one moment demand that an officer, elected by the suffrages of the people of all the twenty-eght States, and bound by his oath end every constitutional obligation faithfully and faIriy to represent, in the execution of lls high trust. all the citizens of all the Union, should narrow his great sphere and act with reference only to her peculiar wishes! To oincucate such doctrine to Pennsylvania is something more than useless; it is derogatory to her. The pa. ges of her history are crowded with proofs that she perfectly understands the Federal Consti- tution, from which and through which she claims to derive no beLefit which she is not willing to share equally with any me mber of the confederacy. To bind or bend President or Vice Presiden: 10 disregard the general will, and the objects of nptonal policy. in order to subserve exclusively her special will and her To. cal policy would manifest. in my humble judge. ment, degeneracy of sentiment to which Penn sylvania never has descended and never can des- cend."

We last week published the proceedings of a meeting of the members of the bar of Greene county, on the receipt of inc intel. ligence of the honorable acquittaI of Judge Shortridge. The citizens, also,-as we learn from the Greene county papers-hed a meeting and adopted the following reso. utions. Judge Shortridge has been well known, from his boyhood, to most of the older citizens of Greene county, and it Will be exceedingly gratifying to his feelings. to know that the false charges brought against him did not cause his friends, for one mos ment, 10 doubt his honesty and integrity.
