To-day, at the CAPITOL IN the Hall OF the House
of Representatives, the Rev Dr. Hawks, OF New
York, delivered an historical lecture on the Union
of these United States, be ginning with the be-
ginning of the Anglo-Saxon race-that stalwart
and word-subduing amslgamation of the Euro.
pean pirates and barbarans of the North-and
closing with most splendid eulogium upon the
inesnmable value, glory, power, and bene6cenoe
Of tins sublime ana glorious confederation
as it now stands before the admiring
world The audience were electrified AT
the close of the address, X. J. Coke, Esq, rose
and proposed vote of thanks TO DIR. Hawkes., and
that he be requested to furnish copy of his noble
discourse for publication, which motion was
adopted unanimously We shall, therefore, wait
the authe nucated publication of this very beautiful
ana eloquent lecture as prefer able TO any curtaIled
report. There was numerous and distinguished
audience present; and visible, and venerable, and
idoized, and glorious in his strong old age .. the
chief among thousand" was Harry Clay-the
galan, Harry Clay
"His very name inspires our souls
Hurrah for Harry Clay
There was a large proportion of members of both
houses present, OF the Supreme Court, NC. Tbs
audience was worthy the occasion, and the orator
PROVED himself worthy OF MS audience.
Changing the subject, the trial of Com. Jones
trags on; II may last month longer-but the brave
old IaIs who compose the court express the hope
that II cannot possibly last longer than two weeks,
while il Is possible they may close il in week.
We count upon the election 10 the Senate, from
missouri, OF Geyer, whig, and not Grer or Greyer,
as the telegraph has tive say that we count upon
his election II any one is elected al this sessioa of
the Missouri Legislature. Some of the friends of
Col. Benton expect that the Taylor wings will
come TO his support, as preferable to the election
OF Clay wing; but there has been no Indication
Of tha sort OF thing, while there's some evidence
that the anti Benton democrats are going over 10
the wing nominee.
We believe that if the friends of cheap post
age IN the Senate undertake II, they can carry the
cheap postage bill, Just as il passed the House.
which Is The surest way OF securing anything IT
tins session.
Upon the same plan exactly, we believe. the
friends OF the branch mint in the House can carry
the ball of the Senate safely through But if they
20 10 amending, they endanger the measure itself
Let the bill be taken just the Senate passed il.
and after we have the law, II can be amended, II
necessary. And the same OF cheap hostages
Take the bills without tinkenng, and we have
them both.
