WASHINGTON. Monday, Dec 10, ls53.
To-day has been spent by the two Houses OF ON
cress in listening TO eul0ces upon tie character OF the
late Senator Atherton. Of New-Hampshire The ex-
pense Of this ceremony TO the people IS about tWen

Nothing else could have induced such general acqul-

the opposite side; and as We have seen above, the
Harls are committed by their organ, to the exclusion
Of slavery by maintaining the Missouri COMPROMISE
Mr. Benton and bis friends will stand on the same
ground and urge the same arguments in support OF H.

General Nh CritteEden, gave an opinion in DIR
Bailey's favor The law gives the advertising to The
three papers having the largest circulation without
naming daies or weeklies and it is most arbitrary
and unwarrantable construction, which has excluded
