candidates were VIM. ]. Graves and Mr. Dickson. 1t is
said in Washington, that by way of compromise, Mr.
Graves suggested the of Crenden, which was OBJ
ected on the ground that he dsaected to Mr. Clay
and to clear up all doubts this head Mr. Graves pro-
duced letter from Crenden, expressing unaterabe de-
voon Clay his hopes and fortunes and indignantly
peing all rumors and suspicious to the contrary This
letter, it is further stated, sufficiently strong to induce
the Clay consent to his nomination.

Mr.. HANNEGAN When introduced these resolu-

THE CONGRESS OF sc.


The following picture Of tho Congress Of
IS is extracted from fine article on "Ear
" American Eloqucncc," in tho knickcr
booker for June:
"ln the Presidents chair, sits Hancock
crowned with demcanor graceful and
splendid, like blazing Hyperion on his or.
bid throne.' Prominent in tho heroic band
aud Oldest Of their number, is he who a,
the same time snstchcs tho lightning from
the skies and the opprcssor's hand. There
too, is Morris, the financicr Of tho revol,,.
ton, whose generous aid, advanced on his
own credit, paved tho way for tho victories
at Trenton and Princeton, and in the
gloomiest hour caused tho American eagle
ID soar aloft towards Heaven. Moro rcii
rcd, but not less interested, is that old puri
tan, Samuel Adams, 'on his front engraved
thought and public caro- lie was among
tho very first TO excite popular rebellion
against wrong, and he is here to mid in its
progress and pray for its contamination
OF few words, but Astounding in great and
bcnciiccnt deeds, no sits in council grave
and ,ac;turn, like sgrny haired Saturn, qui
ct rs a stonc,' his soul firm AZ granite an,
unbendng before tho storm. Ills moro or
atorical nnmcsakc, John Adams, witt
watchinl eye and car is scanning the pro
cccdings; while every look and motion lc
trays his readiness TO cxcmpliiy his iavor,,
maxim, Il would rather he in tho wron.
with Plato than IN the right with Epicurus.
Lee, with inmitablc suavity and elaborate
grace, moves in chivalric majesty on the
scene. Witherspoon, the divine. ;visibl,
written blessed in his looks, is there, will
the mcckncss Of minister Of Jesus Christ,
but with n firmness that never failcd in th,
presence Of his country's foe. IN the al
formative between the sacrifice OF freedom
or tho loss Of life, like the Spartan mother
he would rather have seen bis son broush
home corpse upon his shield than dishon
orcd by its loss. And lsutledgc, the gonnn
cat Of tho patriots, comes forward in hi
own person to illustrate the ancient apo
loguc of the Youthful Hercules, in the pril,
and strength of beauty, surrcndcrin. h

But il is needless any further to specify
all, as one man, are ready to cxclam. OH
