Messrs. Holmes, Winthrop and vcna
ble. of the House, have been invited by
the Senate committee to accompany
them to South Carolina, with the rem ins
of Mr.. Calhoun, and they have accepted
the office. Mr.. Clarke. of Rhode Island
has tcen appointed to fill Mr.. Wcbster's
place on tie Senate committee. Thev
expect to leave Washington Monday
week. sg ~ So
Mr.. Benton's recent course has not
discourage ordisorgsnized the friends of
conciiation and compromise, but has SER
we'd TO unite as wcllas tn determine them.
He Is now ranked with Mr.. Seward and
Mr. Root, and, indeed, is looked upon as
the leader of TIE Free Soil parry. He re-
siSts any arrangement by which the pres

his influence here is somewhat impai ed.
1t has therefore happened that vigo.
rous and successful rally Of Southern
members Of the House. md Northern
conservative democrats has taken plrce
in favor of concilAtion and compromise.
Some of the Southern men, who baye
heretofore been opposed to The atlm sion

out the IVilmnt proviSo. Thirty oriorty
Northern men are believed to he prepsr-
ed for the measure, and thus IFS success
is ensured. No one has any doubt that
the Sena G Will coml inc th,se me- sues
