! WASHINGTON, March 10, 1853.
| Two decided Lecomptonites, one the Hon. Mr..
| Keitt of South Carolina, ard the other the Hon.
Mr Philips of Pennsylvania, followed each other
in quick succession yesterday, sDging: to the
Administration, and clarifying especially the baad
work of John Calhoua's Convention. They agreed
very happily until they reached the turning point
! aud then they agreed to disagree. For members
of the same h,ppy and harmonious family they
we're little unfortunate in their differences a. ex

how these Democratic doctors hook side by side, sor
il is only by such parallels Shat their respective
| merits can be fully appreciated.

In almost the same number of words these dis.
tinguisaed DOctOre contradict each other point.
blank and they are doubtless both right after thu
Democratic fashion-that is to say, Keltt is right
for his constituents in South Carolina and Phillips
for his in Pennsylvania. Though both freetraders,
they both concur in protecting this sort Of American
industry.
Mr. Stephens made demonstration upon the
House this morning to bring his majority report
but got fOiled by prompt objections from Mr. Sher-
man and others. Fortunately Mr. Harriss reso-
luton vi inquiry did not provide that the Commit
tee should report whenever ready, so that Mr. Orr's
packing only served to the extent of controlling the
proceedings by partisan majority. The rules
which were originally designed for despotic dOmna-
ton have in this instance, returned to plague the
inventors.
Finding himself thus tlwarted, Mr.. Stephens
gave notice that he would take the responsibility Of
fall 1 IN
astonish the House. Atterward the Kansas discus
zion was resumed, for every bill has to shoulder
hat burden, and Mr.. Taylor. of Brooklyn, re-
ieyed himself Of load of LecOmptOnism, which
his constituents will find rather heavy to carry,
notwithstanding the aid Of the Navy Yard.
But Mr.. Haskin was the great gun Of the day, and
kept bis piece in active motion, dscharglng little
more grape, and reloading and firing with a rapdy
aud precision that would have done honor to the
best field practice. Sticking up the FreeSollers of
l84S as his target within good range, he rddled 1t
within the allotted hour, and the Dixes, Van
Burens, COchranes, and other usrious ''apOstates'
of that era I'd to take the hot shot it came scat
terng and scourgng from the aim OF this dlstn-
guished sharp-shOOter. Haskln would not be read
out of the party by renegades who had not yet
purged Themselves of recent treachery; and the
spectacle was most melancholy to his Democratic
eyes and sympathes 10 such factiOnists aspiring
to leadership under an Administration claiming 10
follow in the footsteps Of Jackson and Jefferson.
The South squirmed very uncOmtortably under the
picture presented Of their new allies, and poor

The elect of the Senate are much exercised at
losing the Marshalship of this District and, taken
in connection with the removal of Col. Berret from
the Post Office are rather dispOsed to be resentu
toward the incumbent of the White House. They
protest that old Mr.. Seldeu having reached the re-
spectacle dignity of threescore and ten, and held
Office for the Lord knows how many years ought to
be retired and satisfied The cotere OF bon rirdntS
composed of Sldell Bright, Benz amin, Bayard and
that set which includes COrcOran-whO has just
got his brotherinaw the Post Office-decded that
Ould Of Georgetown should get the rich dripplngs
Of this Office but they defeated by the outside
pressure of the unterrifed, who took the White
House by escalade, and began to cry out Ia Ian
erne in French fashion, which brought - His Ex-
celency" to terms. The silk stockings are in dud
geon that these white slaves" should poach on
their manor and threaten retaliation on somebody
else for his concession These District nominations
will be well ventilated before they are confirmed
for there is party screw to be frightened as IN
Cooks case yesterday. Selden's appointment was
procured by Mr. Mason, who was shrewd enough
10 take advantage of the local quarrel and step IN at
the fortunate moment to recommend his old client
a fact which will not recommend him much to the
Senate since Mr. Mason has no popularity TO
snare even On his Owl side of the chamber.
