to inform them that it suited Webster ex- actly. They will know from this, that there was nothing rery democratic about it.
 Yesterday was perhaps as interesting a day in the Senate, as any yet passed of the session. Besides the set speech Of Derrien, marked with the ieeblenes of idea (want of peint which has character ized all his efforts of late years, we had the ablcst speech from Gen. Cass that he ever delivered. This closed the formal debate. Webster, Calhoun, Jefferson Davis, Westcott, Clayton, Butler and Douglas, also spoke afterwards Gin run ming, spirited and very able constitutional debate,) ere the vote was taken at p. m. It closed ayes 29 noes l9, rout of the lcde ralists, horse, foot and dragoons. Not a whig voted aye, and MT. Calhoun only of nominal democrats voting against the bill. Upon the strength of this general y unexpected result, find that the i'm pression that the House will enact the bill in its present shape is obtaining general ly. myself was of opinion that the bill would tail in the Senate, bya considerable majority. The vote there looks like any thing in the world but bearing out Mir. Calhoun's declaration, that public senti- ment Is well nigh unanimously in favor of falling back upon his line, in case of the failure of the treaty.
 Though the House may eventually pass the ten regiment bill, the majority will have no effort to stave off action upon it, until afier the meeting at least of the Bal timorc Conyention untried. l have seen enough to satisfy mo that this is the policy that will be pursued by federalism.
 The death of the Hon J. NJ. Holley, Of New York, will probably result in the election of democratic member, the dis trict being democratic by a large majority. Now. however, as at the late election, the diyision-strile--i our party, may sc- cure federalism triumph there. This is to be regretted, but do not see how the matter is to be mended until after the con- vencing of the Baltimore Convention, when all who fail to stand by the Nation al Democratic flag, will, as they should, be kicked out of the party.

WASHINGTON C1ry, March Is, 1s4s.

The vote ofthe House, yesterday, order ing 100000 copies of the agricultural portion of the report of the Commission CTS of patents, is well deserved compl- ment to the efficiency of that ofiicer.- Last year but 10000 were ordered, and many federal members cried out against that vote, (the democracy being responsi- be for the action of the House as an evi- dence of the friends of the Administra- ton to squander the funds. Now, a whig House finds it indispensable, as it were, to print more than double that number for gratuitous distribution. Mir. Burks, ow, ing to the bodness and vigor of his pen in behalf of democratic principles, is per haps as odious to federalism as any man in America. Nothing but the demand of their constituents for the result of his in- vestigations, the urgent and pressing demand, has induced the whigs to vote so solid a testimonial of the value of his ser vices as public officer.
 Calhoun is fairly in the enemys camp gone over bag and baggage, but, as the vote on the ten regiment bill yesterday shows, without a sigh from one of his late adherents. No further proof of the fact, that he has fairly enlisted under the whig banner, is needed, than to find him, as on the day before yesterday, preaching views on constitutional questions involved in the war issues between the parties, with which Webster was so pleased as to be continually interruptng him with c2- clamation of "good,'' "good p
 The best general summary of that speech that I can give your readers, is to
