The design Of the Washington Union is ap-

divided and defeated, the day for the triumph
of sectional policy in Congress, and sectional

Hence the violence with which the Ohio De-

are assaied by the factonsts, of which the
Washington Union is the organ.

The HOMESTEAD BILL has been under dis
cussion in the House of Representatives, and
has elected some excellent speeches in its favor
Amidst the wrangngs about party tactics, and
the adroit movements to induce the People to
adhere to effete organizations which have al
most lost their vitality, it is refreshing to hear
IA speech in which the man speaks out, and the
politician is lost sight Of at least for the mo-
ment On the 9th inst, Hon. c. L. Durham,
of Indiana, delivered his views on this aues-
ton, from which we make an extract After
answering objections to the bill, he said:
II believe, Mr. Chairman-I am, perhaps,
an enthusiast upon this subject-that we are
placed here for wise and glorious purposes
to restore poor, down-trodden humanity to its
long-lost dignity; to overthrow despots, and
shed abroad the genial influence of freedom;
to break the bonds of the oppressed, and bid
the captive go free; to liberate, to elevate, and
restore-not by going abroad, sword in hand,

LETTER FROM Mn WEBSTER on THE CON-
PRoMIsE.-The Hon. Daniel Webster in an
swer to a letter from G. A. Tavenner, Esq, of
Alexandria, Va, re-afirms his determination to
uphold all the Compromise measures partic-
ularly the Fugitive Slave Law, which he be-
ieves to be entirely constitutional, highly
proper, and absolutely essential to the peace o.
the country He is opposed to and will con.
tinue to oppose any effort to reopen agitation
or create dissatisfaction with the Compromise.
He also intimates that it is hardly necessary or
proper that Congress should be called upon to
affirm, by resolution, that rhich rs already the
er'aing lac Of The land This sentence refers
to the resolution, not then passed, declaring the
Compromise measures "a fnality" The re-
quirement of such resolution is IN evidence
of weakness. Other laws do not need such an
endorsement, They stand without a Congress

gitive Slave bill needed propping, and this device

WASHINGTON, March II.
DIR. B. A. Gould, of Cambridge, Mass, de-
livered on Monday night the Introductory lee
ture to the Course he intends giving at the
Smithsonian Institute. His theme will be "the
recent progress of Astronomy" These lee
lures, on subjects in every department of
science, so entertaining and Instructive, withal,
are becoming very popular. The chief design
Of the liberal founder of this Institute, was
"lhe diffusion of knowledge among men," and
it seems to be n matter of regret, that no posi-
tive provision has yet been made to extend to
the people generally, the benefits accruing
from the highly instructive discourses deli.
Vered from time to time, within the halls of the
Institute.
The residents of Washington, and strangers
visiting the city, alone seem to be the favored
ones; why not connect with the Institute a
publishing department or bureaul Let the
information and light evolved from these lee
lures, be widely disseminated, SO that he who
runs may read, and profit by the teachings
thereof.
Leutz's celebrated painting of"Washington
crossing the Delaware" is now on exhibition
in the rotunda of the capitol being no con-
noisseur in such matters, my opinion in re-
gard to its merits as d work of art, is of little
worth; those, however, who profess to play
the critic, pronounce both the design and exc
cution faultless.
l am happy to state that operations have re-
commenced on the Capitol extension. The
captious opposition by Senator Berland to the
House bill, appropriating 100000 for this
work, is not very creditable to his head or his
heart nor will his voice potential, defeat the
bill.
