superior numbers, must be his reliance. ~
The debates in Congress have not been Of
much interest of late. The discussion of
MIR. Foote'S Compromise resolution drags
along very slowly in the Senate. Mr.. Nc
Rea did not speak so soon as We had anti
cipated, owing to indisposition and other
causes. He opened his speech on Friday
last, but gave way to q motion for adjourn
ment before concluding. He acquitted
himself remarkably well, and spoke effect
lively as well as ably. He is to conclude
to-day. The first portion of his speech
was devoted to very skilful dissection of
the resolution, and exposure of the incon-
gruity of its parts. The latter and most
interesting portion was an exposition of
the real position taken by himself and his
party in Mississippi, past and future. The
concluding portion to-day will probably be
more Interesting still, as It will be devoted
to the great question now before the coun-
try-the true theory of States Rights
MIR. McRea although very young man,
has made his mark at home and in tho Sc
nate, and will occupy a prominent position
in the co"nsels of the country, if he perse-
veres in the path he has chosen.

Oh HarhioiiN rs 10 the piatfOrm which shall
be taken and every day eomplicates mat
tiers more and more. The recent move
ments in the States of Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi have also tended to exas-
perate and increase these divisions, becom-
ing more irreconcileable. Nobody can
pretend to believe that the Southern Rights
and Union Democrats of the South will
even make a show of Cooperation, and the
adoption of either wing Of the Democratic
party at large viii inevitably amount to a
repudiation of the other. The proceedings
OF the Union party fell like bor.Iu shells in
TO this political camp, for hitherto it has
been believed that they would fall back in
to the lines OF their previous parties, as
soon as their elections were over. This
hope having proved fallacious, and the
two Southern parties having now assumed
attitudes Of decided and unrelaxinc hostil-
ity, the calculation Of the leaders here have
been greatly confounded, and the chances
ofthe candidates respectively reversed in
many respects. One day the star of Cass
seems TO predominate--the next Buchan-
an rises higher-then Douglass seems the
iayorite--superseded again by Butler
The last b probably the most prominent at
the present moment, owing TO the singular
coincidence Of being supported at one and
the same time, by the slayeholdine Ken
tucky, and the slave hating CLIQUE Of Ben
ton, Blair and the Van Burens. ON the
Whig side Mr.. Fillmore's intimation of his
readiness TO run again, has nipped in the
bud the hopes ofthe Webster men, while
IL enhances the prospects Of Gen. Scott,
who Is undoubtedly the first choice Of the
greater proportion Of his party. He viii

The wards are kept very neat There is a spacious

intendence Of Mr. Frey. The clothes are all washed
by machinery, worked by steam; and when washed,
they are placed in metal tub, perforated like a
cullender, and turned by the same steam apparatus
with such velocity that they dried in few
minutes; they are then placed on clothes horses,
which run on rollers into a room. on the floor Of
which are heated pipes and in short space of time
they are taken out ready for use.
