The Senate listened with great attention 10 III
delivery. And there was hardly vacant seat
none perhaps unless those OF individuals who
were absent from the city.
His sllusion to his son-his youngest hope,-let
no heart unmoved. We were told, he SAID, 10 an
tcipafe peace that shall stanch the wounds o
war. prevent the farther efasion OF blood cut OF
these enormous expenses, and return our iriends

MIR WEBSTER was evidently deeply affected as h,
made the ell understood allusOn, and his emotion
seemed to be shared by every Senator present.
There was in his son the promise OF future dis
tinction. By bis virtues aud bis talents be haC
become deep rooted 70 his fathers heart add th'
abrupt eracination Of bis living presence thence
left many bleeding wound there.
Senate and audience sympsthized with his sim
pie and touching auusion. To many the like pre-
diction came TO recollection.
"Heu, misrande Puer 81 qua fata asPera rum

smiling face present-nor when he spoke OF office
holders, who do not
"turn on their god when he SETS,
The same face which they turned when he rose.'
If opinion here is 10 be depended upon. it wa
not bad speech. However your readers ha'
better Judge for themselves.
In the House to day, private bills, interestin.
only to persons who expect moneys from their pas
