SPEECH OF THE VICE PRESIDENT,
JOHN c. BRECKENRIDGE,

DELIVERED ~ THE SENATE CHAMBER or THE UNITED
STATES JANUARY I. 1859. oN THE OCCASION OF THE
REMOVAL OF THE SENATE 10 THE New HALL.

A Majority ON the Wrong Side.

Several years ago, celebrated Methodist
min ister and revivalist, we'll known for his
eloquence and zeal in converting souls, was
preaching in Louisville. The feeling hat
got pretty we'll up, and one night after ,
"powerlul" sermon, he came down from th'
pulpit, for the purpose ofreceving mourners
whilst the good old hymn of
:sSwcet Canaan I'm bound for the land of Canaan
was struck, and chimed in by hundreds o.
voices. The hymn was concluded, but he
exhorted in vain-his words and appeals fell
upon the eors of his congregation without
exciting any emotion. At length he conclu
ded to make bold strike and follow it uT
with test, ard resuming the pulpit, after .
few words exhortation, he solemnly announ
ced that he would put question, upon which
he expected all to vote in view Of the esti
nation they placed on their souls. Will
his finger raised significantly and in a mos
solemn manner he announced
call those in favor Of Christ will please
arise to their feet"
Only some eight or ten responded to the
announcement, ard while the minister was
watching intensely to see them signify tteil
position by rising, a worthy member who
was on his feet, interfered and suggested that
"the reason might be that the disciples were
too modest to VOTE.
At this juncture loud voice was heard ir
the gallery -
81 say brother --, it's no use talking
or trying to force the vote-tbis congrega
ton is for the devil, by at least twenty-five
hundred majority"

Distinguished Females.

Calphurna, wife of Julius Cesar, was at
once the object of his love and admiration.
Her wit amused, her understanding charmed,
and and her sweetness captivnted the con.
queror of the world. Her mind had been
cultivated with the incest care, and her man.
ners were upon the most perfect model
Anxious to promote the happiness of her
people, she in fact became their idol and it
is difficult to say whether she was most ven-
Grated, loved, or esteemed. .,....
Plantina, wife TO the Emperor Trojan,
was as celebrated for the sweetness of her
manners as she was for the solidity of her
judgment and the refinement OF her under.
standing; and so thoroughly was the En-.
peror acquainted with the capability Of her
intellectual powers, that he always consult.
ed her on questions of importance. Yet this
fiattering compliment to her abilities neither
filled her with pride, nor puffed her up with
presumption for her humility was equal to
her penetration, and her afFability to her
judgment and so great was the ascendancy
that she obtained over the Emperor, that
historians oscribe many Of his noble acts to
the influence of her virtues.
Aggrapina, wife of Germunicus, was O
woman in whom were united great talents,
exalted virtues, and refined delcacy. Her
perfections were grounded on an innate
principle of virtue, which withstood the per.
nicious effects of bad example for her mo-
theirs character was as much disgraced by
censu-e as her own was adorned by praise.
Margaret Roper, the eldest daughter OF
the illustrious Chancellor, Sir Thomas More,
was wise and amiable lady. Her learning
was almost eclipsed by her virtues. She
corresponded in Latin with the great Eras
mus, who styled her the ornament oil Briton
After she has consoled her father in prison
had rushed through the guards to snatch
last embrace, had obtained the liberty O
paying him funeral bonors, and had purchas
ed his head with gold, she was herself load
ed with letters for two crimes--for having
kept the head of her father as a relic, and fol
having preserved his books and writings
She appeared before her judges with intre
pidity, justified herself with that eloquenct
which virtue bestows on injured merit, com
manded admiration and respect, and passe'
the rest Of her life in retirement, in melan
choly, and in study.

A Beautiful Picture.

The man who stands upon hie own soil,
who feels that by the laws of the land in
which he lives-by the laws of civilized ma
tions-he is the right'uI and exclusive own.
er Of the land which he tiIls, is, by the con-
stitution of our nature, under wholesome
influence not easily imbibed from any other
source. He feels-other things being equal
more strongly than another, the character
Of q man as lord Of an animated word-of
this great and wonderful sphere, which fash
ioned by the hand of God, and upheld by his
