have all been very well, and enjoyed ourselves

cold weather. We put up while in this region Of

Mr.. BURT, of South Carolina, in the
course Of the debate in the House Of Rep
resentatives on Friday, on the bill provid-
ing for the increase Of the army, alluded
in terms of Just commentator to the War
Department and its efficient management.
"He would say, in justice to the Secreta-
ry of War;" 1--WE quote from the abstract
report of Fridays proceedings in the
House, "that there was no man at the
head of the Department who had made
more judicious and prompt disposition of
the troops than he had. He was no po-
litical friend of the Secretary, but he
would not be silent when such remarks
were made as to the officers of the Gov.
eminent. He would not withhold an eX-
preston Of his appreciation towards gen
tleman who had performed his duty"
This worthy tribute of acknowledgment
from an honorable man, political oppo-
nent, reflects as much credit as it confers.
1t stands well in contrast, too, with that
spirit of indiscriminate hostility too often
characteristic of political warfare-a spirit
which blinds the partisan to all perception
Of worth or patriotism in any who are not
of his faction, and which, unfortunately,
sometimes impairs the sentiment and feel
ing of courtesy and propriety. While
there are SO many examples of the wrong
kind, it is pleasing to acknowledge one of
the better sort.
1t may be proper to add, that the gentle
man who was understood by Mr.. BURT to
have made remark rejecting upon the
Government, disclaimed any such intent
or meaning.

tional misfortune that any thing has oc-
Cured to disturb the unity Of sentiment
which then prevailed in regard to it.
We desire il to be understood, that it is
not our purpose to indulge in reproaches
towards any one, least of all to the dis
tinguished Senator from Kentucky. In
pursuing the course which he has pursued,
he has but obeyed the law Of his nature,
and yielded to the memorable coercion of
circumstances. In leaving the tranquil
shades Of Ashland, to reappear upon the
stormy theatre of public affairs at time
like this, the veteran statesman and re-
nowned orator did not, it is to be pre-
sumed, propose to play subordinate
part. He did not propose that his sena-
torial achievements now should be less
distinguished than those of the past. He
came to lead, not to follow. He came TO
originate measures Of compromise and pa
cifcation, not to adopt such as others
might recommend. Already distinguished
as the author Of two Compromises" which
had pacified the country at periods of
great trouble and difficulty, we conceive
that we do him no injustice when we sup
pose that he came hither at the present
crisis with the natural and laudable ambi-
ton Of appropriating to himself the glory
Of third compromise. In saying this,
it is not our purpose to impute unworthy
motives to the distinguished Senator. On
! the contrary, we regard such ambition in
him, under the circumstances, as both nat
ural and laudable; but, if we are right in
our conclusions, they account, in some de-
gree at least, for the absence, if such be
! the fact, of that esprit of peace and con-
cord, and of mutual confidence and co-ope-
ration, which ought to animate the differ
ent departments of the Government" and
which the Senator adverted to in his
speech on Tuesday last.
