rambling sketch down to the eve of that great
est of all events in this protraeted struggle, the
overthrow of the Missouri Compromise. We
will pause here a moment, to refresh our own
recollection of the rich scene in the House. in
the winter of l848, when Wilmot gave Father
Richie, then editor of the Union, a terrible
Aaying, for attempting to read him out of the
Democratic party, for moving as an amend.
ment to o money bill his Proviso of immortal
memory. AS the rudy, robust representative
of the free hills of old Bradford was making the
Hall ring with the blows he was levelling at the
sallow, lank Virginian, the latter was fitting
around the lobby, lodging behind this column,
peering nervously through that Granny in the
screen, and looking for all the world ike lost
spirit, struggling to escape from purgatory.
But enough, aye, too much, of this. At some
future time, should opportunity occur, we may
sketch the incidents in that recent contest al
luded to, still fresh in the recolection-yea, and
still going ON, though its din will no more dis
turb the solemn repose of the old Hall which
witnessed its opening scenes. Those yet un.
psrslleled Congressional contests-that of 1920,
which resulted in adopting the Missouri Com.
promise, and that of 1854, which ended in it's re-
peal both transporting within this celebrated
Chamber-would afford rare subjects for the
pencil of the painter, the Tyre of the poet, and
the pen Of the historian. So, too, would many
incidents in that ever-changipg drama, which
opened with the defence CT the Rights of the
Union by John Quincy Adams in 1885, and
which, twenty years thereafter, saw the closing
scene of its first act in the GROWING glory of
eevating Nathaniel p. Banks to the Speaker
chair.
Thirty eight years ago, the Representatives
of eighteen States, led by Henry Clay, of i'm
perishable fame, took their seats in this historic
Hall. During that period, what changes has it
seen at home and abroad | Thirty.one States
