EF The theatrical company Of Mr.. Bridges
has left. This company although not as well
patronage az we had expected, gave most
hearty satisfaction to those VIII ,sc good fortune
it was to witness the performance. Mr.
Bridges is a rare comedian and was supportec
by talent, grace and beauty, which commanded
special admiration.
Indeed some OF our Galcna friends were SO
enraptured with this companies performances,
that they can,e all the way from that town, to
enjoy a feast of feeling.
The company have returned to Gaiena.-
They have our cords good wishes and we
trust our good friend Of the Jetfersonian, will
take them under his special editorial care and
give them that place in the public heart, which
they merit
We were sorry to lose them 8, soon, but the
best of friends must part; and while we bid them
good speed in their locomotion TO public favor,we
may be permitted to hope, that should they
visit our glorious West again, they will not for
get our City, and much less ourselves.

Iowa. lie is one OF the youngest men in che
Senate, but being indefatigablp in industry, and
possessing clear jud gmcnt, and strong mind
he IS fitted to cope with older Senators He
does not indulge in rhetorical ifourshes, but he
possesses much ofthe element oftrue eloquence.
There is a truthful earnestness in his manner
that convlnces you his sympathies are with
those he represents. His voice is fine his man,
ner agreeable, and he treats his opponents with
respectful Difference, which is an admirable qnal-
ity in Senator. In his speech there were
some beautiful touches. In speaking of the dis
position of the public domain in the Western
States, he says:
awe could bear much from Virginia, che has
given an empire to the Federal Government,
she is the mother of States, as well as States

is the following statement: The present Con-

that all men are born free and equal. This was
inserted, not merely as word orIpolitcal truth,
but with particular view to establish the liberia

it was. understood by the people at large"
In private letter from Rev. DIR. Lowell, he
states, have an honest pride in saying as

purpose above stated, and that on its adoption by
the Convention, he offered his services as a lawyer,
