Senator Soule.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Tribune thus describes this gentleman:
ave do not think of anybody in the Senate,
now that Mr.. Clay and MIR Webster are out
with whom Mr.. Soule need fear to break lance
We should be inclined to back him against the
field for logical or an oratorical bout
:. The audience who listened yesterday were
generally in state Of great admiration Of the
speech and the man. Yet Mr.. Soule will
have to content himself with a secondary po-
sition as an orator. He is keen, close, tho
rough, and powerful in argument strong and
precise in diction, magnetic in action, and
dramatic, energetic, almost fierce in delivery.
But he does not mount easily, nor has he felici-
tous flow. He is lawyer and spins fine. lie is ar-
tistic rather than great He wins but he struggles
hard. He does not 90 over the course at full round
pace. Yet he feels his power, and ordinarily has
no doubt about his being match for anybody.
With all his graciousness Of demeanor Che is every
inch Frenchman in this he has haughtiness
Of nature that prompts him to contemn his
rivals. OF all mediocrity he is very impatient.
Emulous Of distinction, ambitious Of glory, he is
yet inclined to demand it as his due rather than
receive it as a voluntary tribute Such a man
may command the judgments Of his hearers in
his favor, but he will never captivate their hearts.

an incident occurred in which am sure you will

made TO purchase it, which was very promptly
assented to by all present. A probable price
was liked upon, and it was determined that a
company of eight or a dozen should unite in
the purchase. w. W. Corcoran was to become
| one of the number, and so were Messrs. Thayer,
Wetmore, Appleton, and others. Abbott Law

another State, and took himself wife. On his
return home, and .on the rcsuming the editorial
chair he thus discourses:
"And in announcing the fact OF our return
home with rib, We cannot refrain from expires
sing our profound disgust Of bachelorism and
bacheiors-and we expect to be dissusted with
both-eevoral weeks We are veil aware tbst II,
time gone by, We occasionally made ourselves
ridiculous in the eyes Of sensible men. by m
holding the bachelor stste as the only life of
happiness, independence, and earthly glory.
but we were young and green then, and Of course
knew but one side of the subject Now stand
up, here, you conssrned ugly picters of human
lty, rejoicing IN the name of bachelors. and an
| swer us a few questions.
What are you fit for in this worIds What are
you doing for posterity? What interest ha,,
you in the generations yet unborn YOU read
OF where will you be when old men, IL your
vile habits ever permit you to arrive at q good
old age? Won't you be like lonely, seard and
unscathed trees standing in big clearing with
ut companion, and your life unprotected from
| the frosts by young saplings and shrubs at your
feet! Or won't you be ike pumpkins in a corn
heid, more prominent because Of your prodigi-
Gus ugliness, than the stalks at your side, laden
with golden grain? Hold your heads up, and
talk like men, whether you can act SO or not
Now don't you feel ashamed of yourselves
Look at the girls about you, all smiling and su-
gar-hearts overdowing with love ready to be
spIlling on the first good fellow that can touch
their sympathies- feelings rich as cream, which
by a kindred spirit can soon be worked into
butter, and spread over your life till you are as
happy as the birds Of spring. Look at 'em, and
feel the disgusting position you occupy in the
| cabbage garden of humanity! What are you
| holding back for? Now, just reform-put on
your best looks and your other coat-visit the
girls ice cream them talk to them prettily, drive
them, walk them, please them-then propose,
get accepted, marry,-and-the country will
rely on you as faithful and well DISPOSED cit
