Summing up.
In the Senate to-day, Mr. Benton spoke lu
favor of his amendment TO the deficiency bill,
for full minister 10 Rome. IL is suspected that
this is movement on the part OF Old Bullion, TO
win over the Catholics and Bishop Hughes to the
barnburners.
Mr.. Badger opposed the provision both for the
Minister and the Charge to Rome He was
evidently suspicious that it was political specu-
lation. The amendment 10 not disposed OF I; and
there W Ill be some further talk upon it ; and 1t
ID not altogether certain that there will be even
q. Charge TO the Pope but we shall see. Bishop
hughes ought to be here.
Mr.. Calhoun took strong ground AGAINST tho
ten regiments and in the Mexican contributions
declared that the President had transcribed the
constitution and the laws. A bold man in the
declaration OF ms opinions IS that same John
q, Calhoun II Gen Cass had not persisted in
forcing this bill upon the Senate, Mr. Calhoun
said he would have spared the Executive We'll,
well; let us hope for The best, any how
We think that Senators may talk as they
please, now that peace is so nearly secured II
we get peace, the people will be grateful enough
to forgive the Pres dent, and Tom Corwin and
Henry Clay, and Gen. Cass, and Mr.. Calhoun
and all OF MS. The people OF the United States,
God bless them, are generous people. They
forgive and forget. God bless the people.
There will be great effort tomorrow to pass
the ten regiments, so that Mr. Sewer may carry
that drop Of comfort with his treaty of peace to
Mexico. We regret TO hear that Mr.. Sewer is
sick to-day, amt seriously sick, though it 10
