WELL TURNED COMPLIMENT TO THE
LADIEs.-Mr. Pearce, of Mary land, oppos-
ed the admission Of The ladies to the foo,
Of the Senate in the following we'll turned
compliment.
Mr.. Foo,e said he wished to make his
usual motion TO introduce the ladies into
the chamber of the Senate.
Mr.. Pearce. Mr. President, there is du-

court of love and beauty Senators are no,
troubadours and ballad singers; and we

be admitted to hear him. (Laugh,er)
Mr. Pearce is right, with defence 10 the
