Douglas and Corwin.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "a, 1860.

Resorting to his usual clap trap, Sena-
tor Douglas caused it to be announced,
or at least known, a week beforehand.
that he would speak yesterday. And
under the decisive idea that whenever he
took the floor there was to be running.
raking fire between the gallant man-of-
war, Squstter Sovereignty. and the
"long, low. black, piratical-looking
schooner" the African Slave Trade,
there was tremendous outpouring of the
population Of this vicinity to the Senate
Chamber to see the sport.
But there was q general disappoint-
ment in the result. Senator Douglas is
no longer the "game cock" of the
Western prairies. He is no longer the
little Buffalo bull. with tail erect and d.
lated nostril and fiery eye. securing the
plain and clearing it of adversaries.-
The great sea-fght did not come off,
The man Of war hauled down his I'm
ion jack" and Fed before the long, low,
black, piratical y craft that is healing
for Charleston, and nothing bat a craven
stern-chsse toward that port rewarded the
curiosity of the anxious thousands in the
Senate galleries. l trust you will be
able to read the meaning of Douglas
display Of himself yesterday, under this
6gHrative description. There is absolute
need of some piqueancy of illustration to
redeem my notice of it from the stale
ness and stupidity Of the speech itself.
A noted Missouri politician, of the
National Democratic faith. predicted to
me yesterday morning, before Douglas
spoke, the exact character and aim of his
speech. He said that Douglas had al
ready obtained the delegates Of ten
Northern States to the Charleston Con-
vention in his favor, and that he had
nothing more to expect from that quar-
ter and nothing to fear; and that now his
purpose was to court the South and
humble himself to its behests, and so
propitiate Southern Democrats to his
nomination. OF course the Missourisn
thought it shallow game, and enc that
could not win. In which opinion nearly
everybody in Washington agrees.
The speech of Mr.. Corwin. in the
House. was far more profitable and
amusing than the Senatorial effort. and
if the packed crowds in the Senate
Chamber had known what was going on
in the other wing of the Capitol. front
seats would have besn at q discount be-
fore the Illinois Senator had been twenty
minutes on the floor. Mr.. Corwin is
reckoned at Washington, the very fore
most man in Congress. He is national
in his sentiments. clear and very strong
in his arguments. Astounding in happy
illustr ltions. and so brimfull Of good hu-
NOR and delightful wit, that he is per-
fectly irresistible a. q debater. BE fair
" took the lid of the Disunionists Of the
House yesterday, and let their fires evsp-
crate till they cooled down to state Of

The rampant warriors and champions of
the South, who have been for weeks past

and piercing and heaping up whole hee-
stombs of craven hearted Northern VIC

die skirts, smoothed their wrinkied

sinking into silencs that reached the re-

The Southern members hsd the good
sense. and the good taste, to let Mr.. Cor.

course. McClsrnand and Vallandigham
illustrated their readiness to do tourney
work " for their Southern masters by
persistent efforts to interrupt him, after
he had explicitly requested them to let
him alone. A protrsctsd demand for
(" order" finally brought them to their
senses and their seats. ,..--....... ...
There were exceptionable passages in
this extraordinary speech. 1t PROFOUND
ed some doctrines which the Republican
party will repudiste, and which Gov.
Corwin himself, on calm reflection, will
no doubt qualify. if not reject altogether.
But, as . whole. it was splendid per-
fsrmance, and has oblitsrated here at the
capitol, the last trace Of a suspicion that
the Tom Corwin of 1860 has absted one
iota in intellectual vigor from the Tom
Corwin who won enduring laurels in the
memorable campaigns Of 1910 and 1874.
1t was a refreshing contrast to the mana
ties, the platitudes, the rhodomontade,
the secondhand fustian. which make up
the common staple Of Congressional ora
tory, rearing its head above the wishy-
washy food poured ont by Southern Rep
resentatives for the last seven weeks, like
Giberaltar or Tenerifs.
But, though remarkable intellectual
effort, its chief value arises from the fact
that it was an exposition and vindication
of Republican doctrines, delivered in the
presence and hearing of the Southern
members, who felt its power, and are at
q loss for arguments to answer it and
men to deliver them.
While Gov. Corwin was holding his
intellectual levee in the House, Toombs

Mr.. Corwin is = large-bodied and well
conditioned man, about five feet ten

brunette complexion; heavy gray eye
brOWs which have the faculty of rising

head very high and full in the upper re-
gion, but rather deficient in breadth
across its base; large and strong animal
features. with a well-shspsd mouth to
match; double chin. thick throat, great
variety Of expression. and deep. silvery
voice. which is too much addicted to
tragic whispers and stage aside, render
ing it difficult for him to be heard with
distinctness in so large q room. As =
retailer in anecdotes, Mr.. Corwin is with
out an equal in Congress-perhaps in the
country. His powers as an actor are OF
the highest order, and he is too often
tempted, by his irresistible success as q
humorist, to branch off into little illus
trativs stories, which rather mar the gen.
eral eject of his serious elocution. An
accomplished classical scholar and stu
dent, the Ohio wagon-boy used to read
Virgirs BUcolies while driving his team,
thirty years ago, over the prairies; and
since that time. every step in his upward
course has been made use Of as afording

to the Ohio politician. One son had
yellow skin and almond shaped eyes;
another had q woolly head and q flat

as striking. Corwin thought that so to-

not frequently happen in life. And the
fact that the sons of Ham had once held
their whittier brethren in bondage in
Egypt for four hundred years, "until the
