,vould be upgenerous perhaps to push the par

Eth and Kin. But some things that are ungener
QUE are true

Another Important figure il the group on the
lef, Of the Senate Chamber at the beginning of tho
aetsop, not there at tho end OF il, was Tom Cor
win-tbe modern Menus. Menus must have beeR
fat, for he sh the ribs and jovlaty have assoca

not bis only good quality, &c is honest aud dis

straight cut, which might be the death Of them
Out Of mercy therefore 70 the Senate and the
country, SIS be couo Mt lie, he kept still Oorwin ia
{" chuck full OF genius. He wants cultivation and
good taste.
OF the men who have taken the places OF the
great men who have been named, the first is Mr.
WINTHROP, Of patriciap, that's, believe,
efemolog ideally, man who has father. He is
man of decided talent but the unfortunate victim Of
respectabli,y, Such men never lead though they
may BIO as the head. THos EWING is simply a
man of great good sepse; what the w estern poo
pie cali horse sense" he does his own thinking
butthihkE pretty much in the beaten tracks. Mr.
CALHOUN successo also died, and OF has successor
am Lot bound to SPEAK.
There 10 no man In the senate n0y, who il more
observed listened 70 by strangers in tho galleries
than HALE of New. b npshire With the excep'
Elon perhaps of Mr. CLAY himself, be >s tho rea'
