reached every civilized nation of the earth
But now ! could hardly recall to mind the
names of half dozen who had achieved a
reputation sufficiently great to excite de
sire in my mind to lcok upon their faces.
Clay, Calhoun and Webster, and Benton,
Buchanan, Wright, and Ewing, are no longer
in the Senate, and the prestige which they
gave that body in public regard is sadly sha-
ken by an hours visit to the Senate Cham
Der.
The House of Representatives is without
organization, the members are, a large ma
jority Of them, entirely new and fresh hands,
and the parties are without acknowledged
leaders. We cannot, therefore, look for the
exhibition Of much dignity, ability or eff
cheney, in that branch of the Legislature.
Humphrey Marshall, who aspires to the
leadership of the Know Nothing section, is
one Of the ablest, if not the very ablest, man
in the House, and is possessed of rather II
good personal appearance, being a fair sized,
square built gentleman, of medium height
and weight, with fine, expressive counten-
ance.
Stephens, of Georgia, and Campbell, Of
Ohio, who appear to be leaders Of the other
sections of the House, are probably the
smallest men in it in their physical proper
tions. Campbell has regular features, is
good looking, and has the appearance of a
man of decided talent. Stephens is a queer and
eccentric looking little genius, far from at
,ractiYe in form or feature. and giving little
indication in his personal appearance Of ne
deyilish energy and brilliant talent which he
has so often exhibited in debate.
