Hnr IOHN RELL,

One of the best speeches delivered during the
late session of Congress, was delivered By Sen
ator BELL, the substance in part, OF which we
copv from the Nashville Wing, into our paper
of this week. We need not request our readers to
give it an attentive perusal; occupying the posi-
ton in National Politics he does, anything from
him will be read with interest.
Mr.. Bell occupies an enviable position not
only as Politician, bu: as Statesman. He
islooked upon by conservatives of all parties, as
one of the most enlightened and reliable States
men in the Union. His opinions are received
by the Senate, with veneraton and respect, on
account of his personal integrity and the thor
ough investigation he gives to every subject
upon which he attempts to speak.
1t is known that Mr.. Bells Senatorial term
will soon expire, and that the seat at present
occupied by him, will have to be filed by the
choice of the next Legislature. But the time
has not yet arrived to discuss the claims of in
dividuals for that honorable position. We can
not elect ang Wing, unless zoe first secDre a
Whig Legislature.

THE BRIDGE.

Our readers will be pleased to learn that this
work is progressing more rapidly as the wealth
er becomes more favorable. The foundation for
the Abutment on the opposite side of the River
is being laid, and so soon as the River becomes
sufficiently low, the foundations will be laid in
the river. Mr.. PRICE, who has the entire con-
tract for the Masonry, is experienced, and will
push the work along as fast as possible. He
will soon have an additional number of hands
TO place upon the work.
Messrs. Maxwell Hall, & Co., contractors for
the wood work, seem also, to be making good
progress. The Iron to be used in the construc-
ton of the Bridge has already arrived at this
