For the Washington Sentinel.

We had the pleasure of hearing, on Satur-
day, the able and eloquent speech of Mr.. Dixon,
of Kentucky, in support Of the Nebraska bill.
Mr.. Dixon came to the Senate with a great
reputation as an able statesman and debater.
His speech on Saturday has added much to
that great reputation.
Hc announced, boldly and plainly, that he
was for the repeal of the Missouri compromise,
and declared it to be unconstitutional. His
position on the slavery question is above all
party. He is Kentucky whig--a true Ken
tucky whig, of the Henry Clay stamp.
He loves his party, but he loves his country
better, and he esteems the sacred principles of
Constitution far above any mere party con-
siderations.
AS a debater, Mr.. Dixon deservedly stands
high. He discusses upon principle, discarding
all considerations Of mere expediency. His
conclusions are logically stated, and defy refu-
tation.
His language is terse, emphatic, and to the
point. His motions are graceful and eminently
diigni6ed. His style of oratory is not impas-
stoned, but it has an earnestness, firmness, a
decision, that is far more effective.
Than Mr.. Dixon no man is truer to the Con-
stitution and to the country.
