After some comparisons had been made

that she had nowhere noticed such gem

Mr.. Webster, by his manner, appro-

her remark, and very briefly alluded To the
causes which produced SO welI-balanced Il
condition Of society-our free institutions,
comHlon school system. religions liberation
the pr~oftableness of labor, and tie houofs
awarded to intellectual advancement, were
delicately contrasted with the state Of
affairs under arbitrary government.
Miss Lind warmly expressed herself in
favor of universal education, as the first
instrumentality towards the freedom,
happiness and prosperity Of the people in
any country; and this train of CONVERSE
ton was confined between the distin-
guished parties for about tel minutes.

amount Of business rer1ainsd unfinished
at the close Of the last session, and those

should be speedily amended or repealed.

Incorporated the famous Communication tax
Of one dollar and fifty cents, are 4 Disgrace
to the statute book Of the chivalroos State
Of Louisiana. The levees on the banks
