GOV. McDowELL's SPEECH.

To crafty the eager curiosity on the subject
and do an &C, OF justice 10 VireiniaD, whose
splendid Grafton has commanded universal admi.
ration, and reflected luslfe On his native Stale.
we publish this great speech Some portions oil it
are mastery; his review OF The past and exposure
OF the outrage ard mischief OF excluding the
South from equality with The rest OF The Union,
presented with great power-and his perora-
lion glowing with beauty and thrilling in its ap.
peals. w lille VIC do not agree with Governor
Mcdowell in his advocacy OF Mr.. Preslons bill,
with which he himself was not satisfied, we feel
assured that this speech will exert beneficial
influence upon the Northern masses The Penn
sylvanian, whence we repubsh The speech, gives
il warm praise, as follows:
"GOV. McDOWELL'S GREAT SPEECH.
We give the whole OF this fne production this
morning (says The Philadelphia Pennsylvania }
No American can read il without feeling proud
OF the patriotism that peTvades, and the eoquence
that enforces it. 1t is the fort OF a Citizen ncl
oi The South, but OF the Union. II is The voice,
not oil Virsinian, but of An American-no, of
a parlizan, but OF patriot. How immeasura-
bly, beneath this thrilling and diSinteresed ap.
peal, are all the rhapsodies OF impraclcable vi
sionaries and revengeiul fanatics! What asso-
Citations OF The Past The venerable orator calls
around him! What visions of The Future he
brings before US! How ralpably he depiclures
the National Duty, and how utterly he masters
The enemies OF the Constitution. We do not
wonder that, during The delivery Of this great
speech, party animosilieS were sllled, nor that
even those violent and rash men who seek 10 en-.
courage the ioul fend Of Oisunion, caught their
Tears answering TO The trumpet tones OF the i'm
passioned Virginian. The effort is equal 10 any
that has ever been made in Congress, and will
live in History as one OF The noblest intellectual
achievements OF our age"

Every day serves TO confirm our impression
that the present administration will be proscrp-

have seen, is 10 the N. York Mirror an original

lection is purely POLITICAL" We give its article,
with the single remark, that the failure TO reap
point an officer when his commission expires, is
as much prescription, a. his expulsion from Of
fee, his commission pending:
"Thus far the Cabinet has been busiiy occu-
pied in filling vacancies. There have been, as
vet no removals, and there will be none until al
Ter the Senate adjourns. Ii the President should
remove one officer and appoint another, while The
Senate is in session, he would be obliged 10 send

A CAPITAL. HIT

Messrs. Lee and Bolts pulled each others
hair savagely in Chesterfield on Thursday
Mr.. Seldom did not speak; but the Wing records
an excellent retort on his part We hear from
other sources that it was received with thun-
ders Of applause. The Wing says:
"Mr. Seldom, whom we would moi forget. is
reported to have said smart thing TO the I'm
mortal. The latter was aluding to the sails.
faction Mr.. Seddon was experiencing from the
discussions in the Wing ranks, and begged 10
remind Mr. Seldom that there were discussions
in The Democratic ranks two years ago. "Yes,
(interposed Mr.. Seldom and HEALED THEM BY
RETIRING"
From the Wing also we learn that "Mr.
Lee submitted another proposition of compro-
mise 10 Mr.. Bolts, to the effect, that each of
them should select two friends from each county,
who should settle the terms upon which fair
convention should be hcld-the decision of
which TO be final. Mr.. Bolts rejected The pro-
position, and was in very bad humor, and re-
affirmed all the charges he had ever made
against the Wing party. In five or six years,
should his Immortality survive so long, he will
swear with General Bayly, THAT He NEVER WAS
