Mr.. WADE is fond of strong language and
sensation. He appeals on the slightest pro-
vocation, with the most profane energy, to the
ALMIGHTY, and combines His awful name
with the vindictve utterances Of partisan
warfare His special forte is personal abuse.
He pitches into Mr.. JOHNSON, now and then,
with fauatical yea and the most disgusting
vulgarity; but, weary of this, he has recently
taken up brace of dignitaries, and disposed
of them, in few words, very bitter and very
coarse
He speaks of these victims Of his vitupera-
tive eloquence with remorseless cruelty, and we
may expect, before long, to hear that Ma
PoLEoN has abdicated and MAMMALIAN taken
to his heels, in consequence of the indigna-
ton of the imperial WADE. The vulgarity
of the Senator's talk, is only equalled by its
stupidity, for he considers NAPOLEON regard
for his cis-Atlantic policy as greater than that
for his European The expIana ion of this
shall we call it eccentrcity of Mr. WADE's ?

expressions of indignant surprise at the ex-
traordinary proposition introduced in the

made by an honorable member, whose ideas

bust seem to be singularly muddled.
But the fact is, this speculative genius is
by no means alone in his ideas This Con-
gress has done several things quite as prepos-
ferrous as that which he proposes; for exam
pie, its establishment of a Great Clothing

as the other, and as between the two schemes,
