The SDeech of the Hon. John Bell.

The speech of Mr.. Bell, of Tennessee, con-
cluded to-day, has taken all hands by surprise,
because on both sides of the House it was sup
posed he was under some sort of pledge to the
Tennessee Legislature to stand by the war.
Mr.. Bell travelled round in a circle until he
came to the centre of his argument, which was,
that the war must be stopped. " Stop the war!''
or that annexation would follow, and that disso-
luton would be the fifth and last act Of the
drama:
His winding up was fearfully vivid, fiery,
sparkling, cracking, and picturesque. and while
it tlckled the old wing Senators amazingly, and
riveted the attention of the people in the gal
leries, it put the Chairman on Military Affairs
In a serious rejecting attitude, as If he was half
convinced that he saw the pro-cOnsuls of { he

Mr.. Clay continues at his quarters at the Uni
ted States Hotel. Large detachments of ladies
wait on him every day with their smiles and
their congratulations. Every evening he dimes
out somewhere, and every morning, about
twelve, he dismsses his company in his parlor'
and goes out to meet some appointment, or to
visit the Supreme Court and the two houses, He
is as happy as the day Is long. Neither defeats
nor disappointments have shaken his buoyant
mind. His cordial "good morning" will disarm
an enemy. He is perfectly easy about the Con-
vention. He has declared, indeed, that he is no
candidate, which is all proper enough, but it may
turn out yet, that the regular party nominees will
be Henry Clay and James X Polk. There are
elements at work looking to this result. w.
