"As The Tto;g is Bent."-Not many months

hundred miles from Boston, the rector of the
church was examining the children, after SER

asked, aMy children, Gao you tell me who

question, from'its extreme simplicity, puzzled
them. "Whaa' said the minister, ado you not

Secretary of State soon after the meeting OF
Congress, and there is no doubt that they are

understood to be Mr. Webster's organ in that

"With continuance of the perfect good
feeling, mutual confidence aud friendly regard
which have existed among all the members of
the Cabinet, from the commencement of Mr..
Fllmore's administration the official compan-

|
! The election of Gov. Jones, of Tennessee
| to the U. s. Senate, in the place of Hop l..
Turney, has produced much substantial salts
faction, even among the Democrats. That
he has beaten Trousdale is quite natural, and
is creditable to Tennessee, which is emphati-
caIly Il Union State. Mr.. Trousdale was tine
tured with Modification and secession senti-
ments, and his election to the U. s. Senate
from such State would have been mystlti-
cation of its loyalty and attachment to the
confederacy.
We have rumor that Mr.. Soule would re-
sign his seat in the Senate, having been fur
nished conclusive evidence that the sentiments
to which he gave vent in the Senate during the
last Congress are not those OF the citizens OF
his State. Ifhe does not resign, and contln-
ues his insane opposition to the compromise
measures, he will at least be deprived of the
power of doing mischief, by the fact be ng es-
tablished that he does not represent the fee
lings and views of Louisiana. Gen. Downs
will, of course, be greeted by every friend OF
the Union with affection and gratitude.
As to Gen. Foote, his entry into Washinton
will be triumphal one. He is most unques-
tionably s'the noblest Roman Of them all' that
did battle for the constitution and the c<untry.
And such battle!-placed between cross fires
all the time, and his opponent laying in ambush
for him and doubling all the time, like a hare
before hound fifteen hundred majority un.
der such circumstances are equal to fifteen
thousand in a common run.
Mr.. Clay is expected here on Saturday next,
from which time he has engaged rooms at the
National He will, no doubt, be a candidate
for the Presidency, with or without his consent
the electionsin New York having finished
Seward, and broken up the Scott organizations
in Albany and New York. Mr.. Webster is
shortly to be nominated in New York and
Massachusetts.
Understand that the New York and Penn
sylvania Free Soil Democrats, being complete
ly driven to the wall, will 60 into caucus for
the election of officers of the House; but wheth-
er they do or do not, they will not be felt in the
organization. The Union men will be so
powerful that they will be able to defy both
extreme factions, North and South, and keep
them out of the way of doing mischief.
