Brown, to talk about the next day,
business !; but under it and over it all
it was very plain to be seen that '3some
thing involving the peace and dignity
the present and future prosperity d
the great sugar bowl Of the Union
was to be done.
| Ay, more than this, it might have
been discovered by the amiable smiles
Of the multitude, then and there gath
cred, that something even Of more inn
portance than the destiny Of the I'm
ion itself was involved. The distribu-
ton Of fees, perquisita extra compep-
sation, and the pap, always allowed ito
the party in place, for rewards and re-
prisals to the faithful plough horses of
the party.
In the very agreeable party at the
Exchange on Sunday night we missed
the smiles Of some Of our worthy city
friends, VINO generally visit us, if not
to stay for the Session, to show the
new members how to open the House.
We recollect that this information cost
the last Senate $500 We didn't
meet those familiar faces, nor have we
had the pleasure so far, Of meeting
that regular visitor at this season, who
talked Of bringing an action against
the last house, for drinking his i'm
ported Sazerac, under false pretences.
However, their Aon-appearance is fully
compensated, by the presence Of a host
Of others, equally as patriotic, as true,
as honorable, as honest, and as deeply
interested in the "exchequer" as they
have been.
There is no dramatic performance
on the stage Of life more agreeable to
witness, than a promiscuous multitude
of hard visaged fellows, doing the
agreeable to one another. There is
the forced air Of familiarity by fellows !
the affected smile, degenerating into
a hypocritical grin-the forced laugh |
at pointless jokes, all this to the man
in the corner, is fully appreciated

If the fashion were known, and there
