Benton'S Commentary on the Oregon ProriSo.
The Lynchburg Vrginian supplies one more
authority on the subject of Col. Joseph Johnson's
vote on the Oregon bill with the Wlmot Proviso.

cy formerly delighted 10 honour. If he is now
on the Northern side of the sectional controversy,
his declarations are at least to be received as
gave to the Northern party, and what advantage
it allowed them to claim that they had secured in
the contest:
In speech made BY him at Lexington, Missouri
the 7th day OF July 1919, Senator BENTON used the
following language: "The clause in the Oregon sc

subject that had ever been made and this MIR. Cal

mise, no concession no equivalent to the South He
told them that it passed 10 assert the unlimited

Of Joseph Johnson, who voted for this bill passed TO
assert the unlimited power OF Congress over the sub

naked, absolute, unconditional exercise Of the un-

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUs
AMERICANS
Dagueueotypes by Brady--Engraved b
D'Avignon

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty-iour Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
lusrious in the service Of the country Every por-
ton of the work win receive the most careful aten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render II worthy
mad enduring monument TO the great OF the Re
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, ~ collecting Portraits National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed TO be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the Accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His dagueueotypes are in the
highest sense the works ot art glowing with the soul
of the living couptenance
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will he on
the finest imperial folio paper l6 by 20 inches made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope II
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names OF those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de
partmonts of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended TO be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men OF the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend of glorious Union, viii respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable an
undertaking. that its publication may make an era in
he progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
instrous men OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of most Of our citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore.

HUGH X. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
Ii Is designed to make ii equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virgnians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceve the encouragement of their felIow-ctizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprIze, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence OF Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that il has been
warm unremilting, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least
know it TO be impossible

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
~ The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution Of
that body, " to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the CAPITOL and to al
low premium OF five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings Of the two Houses of Congress, f"
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary OF the Senate on or be-
fore the first day of December next
IL is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Cspitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, or by the
erection of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure to the east of the building
The committee do not desire TO prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete
Although but one plan can be adopted the COM
mittee reserve TO themselves the right TO form such
plan by the adoption of parts of different plans
submitted, should such course be found necessary, in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
TO their own judgment, the amount Of premium 10
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
importance and merit OF each part adopted
