WASHINGTON, Feb. l, 1851.
i Political celebrities fockng in upon us. No one
has ask why this is so. Where the carcass is there
will the vultures be lowering. The times cut OF

The master spr are brooding the chaos of De-
mocracy great calm hangs over their labors.-
Mighty policies are breeding in the corruption OF
their brains. The incubation approaches its term
Big events will break loose. New light will
shine upon the path of Democracy. "A full vent will be
opened for the putrid exhaations of Hunkerdom The
hopes of the faithful will get new life FImkc, ism

close. Benton battles the Committee Bill with untirinp
tenacity of purpose. His efforts will not be without
success, for the bill will undergo some modification
Benton battles for the Calfornian-the native--the
man who has been conquered, abused overwhelmed
Benton finds little favor, for the Senate seems to think
1t owes its first duty to the horde of Yankee wretches
who have gone out there spread over the land like
an army of ocusts. Soule has made good speech on

and done so smoothly, too. This protege of the militia
ny power, led by the Hero of Vera Cruz and Mexico
will have to be nursed awhile longer. The people are
not yet quite ready for the destructive desposm of

practical legislation of Congress If such should be the
case the auocratc bearing ofthe Compromises will be
illustrated more atrociously than has yet BEEN The
slight debate the adoption of the resolution in this

main there) he spoke of and TO Mr.. Hale personally
and in the singular number. Hae's retort was gori-
ous Publish the debate, and let your readers see the
complexion of the Senate. There is only one redeem
ing feature in these spurgcs and spasms of the Compro
