A GLANCE AT THE U. s. SENATE.


ing interesting description of some OF the grea
men in the United States Senate. Il will be read
The active but heavily built gentleman passn,
through the rotunda, with rapid step, and pack
age ofpapers In hand-a face besming with intel
iigence and heaJth-a person clad in suit Of CLOS
sy hlack-is no less apersohage than Lewis Cass
Of Michigan. He stops to talk with gen,lemal
nne, and who listens intently to the short duicl
sentences addressed to him. That is Daniel S
Dickinson, Of New York; not neatly 80 large ia
stature % one would expect, considering the noise
be has made in the country, and the ability he ha.
exhibited. There is in Dickinson's manner, a.
irresistible humor, and cool and placid equan.
Unity, that make him an ugly customer in discus.
sion. The Senate y soon to meet; for Governor
Seward is goingin. How much younger be look.
than you expected to see him. lie seems alnos,
boyish At distance; but % you get nearer, you
will see that time and care have done their work
What . strange face he has. On first sight il
seems little like John Tylers; but soon wear.
of, and the craft and adrotness Of the politician
are written on every lineament. Mr.. Seward j.
an able and industrious legislator; but bis Senate
career has thus far been failure, owing to the
extreme doctrines be has advocated. Now lei
US step up to the gallery Of the Senate; for has
not yet been called TO order. Do you know the
slow moving man, whose head rises and falls in
answer 10 bis thoughts as he PAGES along, and
who carries under his arms bundle of ofdocnments? ?
That is Thos. Hart Benton, Of Missouri. 1t is
