number one, that politics is a great trade
On referring 70 the debate you VIII hnd
that Mr.. GIpp1NGs turned upon the member
from New-York, and damned his hat down over
his ewes without even saying "by your leave.

for he did not do any such thing but soon dropped
his subject.
The second evidence that politics Is great
trade. was seen in the maiden demonstration OF
Mr. Ban,oul. He. too would vote for the Kos
suth Committee But he would do 1t because
the kossuth doctrine was the great bulwark Of
slavery in this country Kessuth was the cham

list of State Rights. Slavery champions. Verify,
politics is great trade.
Several new members, proitlng by the occa-
sion. and lifted by the excitement OF debate got
the floor and broke the ice for future swim
when another good flood tide shall offer. Two
of them, Mr. EWING OF Kentucky and MI lN'Ek-
sol. of Connecticut. struck out pretty handsome

did not amount to much but 1t is something to
he able TO round out few periods at hrst go oil
without stumbling. 1t is not bad preparation
for future race to be able to go round the course
the first time without being distanced. Among
the numerous gentlemen who tried 10 get the
floor. but could not, was Mr.. WAsHBURN,
Wing member from one Of the many Loco-Foco
districts in Maine He was very earnest to let
into some of the gentlemen Of the minority who
were provokingly thwarting the will OF the
House, and he would have done 1t with effect If

ture Of DIR. Kane, of the Grinnell Arctic Expedi-
ton 1t was an elegant performance throughout,
but its tints were mostly too delicate 10 be appre
cated by a promiscuous audience. There was
not enough OF salient point, or OF rough and
tumble matter, to make what is called " sensa-
ton" The Doctor is no kind OF humbug, and
not being possessed of striking oratorlcal gifts,
would never figure therefore as a snowy popular
lecturer But he will always be sure OF the
SURFACES of the discerning few. That he is pol

.istic in description, the readers of The Tribune
well know Indeed, unless a man has unim.
peachable powers in this respect, he would never
think of making a very long story of sail up
against the Polar ice and back again. The
American Arctic Expedition is peculiarly fortu-

Mr. CLAWS condition does not materially vary.
Propped by pillows, he reclines at length upon a
lounge considerable part of each day, often
with his eyes closed, listening TO the reports OF
the doings in Congress and to the reading Of
whatever else interests him. He sees only a
few intimate friends, who go and come without
ceremony, and who measure the frequency and
length of their visits by their own sense OF pro-
piety OF course they trouble him as little as
possible He says "Say to all my friends, it is
of no use for them to send their cards, for must
beg to be excused from seeing them"
