MEDLEY OF CaARAcTERs IN CoSeREss.-
First and foremost in the list Of those who
will make their impress is Old Bullion, who
is not inaptly called the RoaringaLion of the
west.
Next on the list is Joshua R. Giddings,
who will probably second Mr.. Bullion in
most, If not all his movements.
Gerritt Smith, the eccentric head and
front OF the extreme wing of the Abolition
lists, will, no doubt, also. side in the main
with Messrs. Benton and Giddings, and star.
tie the hot blood of the South, by radical
anti-slavery propositions.
John Wentworth, known as Long John,
Is another character, who, after an absence
of one term, returns from the Chicago Dis.
trict, will be likely TO make as much mis-
chief as he can.
Caleb Lyon, an cratic Poet and Politi-
clan, Philosopher and Statesman, who
comes from one ofthe New York Districts,
as an Independent Democrat, and is one Of
the great champions Of the Land Reformers,
will also figure conspicuously.
Jose Manuel Gallcgos. the Delegate from
New Mexico, comes endorsed as a good Lo-
%coroco, but he does not understand a word
Of English, and his speeches, will, therefore
be Greek to most Of the members.
Mike Walsh, of New York City, appears
on the national stage, and that as the very
hardest OF the Hard Shell Democracy of the
Empire State. Ofhim we need not speak.
The eccentric VIM. r Smith, of Alabama,
who is Doctor, Lawyer, Preacher, Professor,
and we know not what elseji is another char
acter returned to the next Congress as a
Hard Shell, Democrat. He it was, who, du.
ring the last Congress made q move to have
Kossuth indicted for high treason.
