Playing the Clown.

Mr.. Salisbury has again been amusing and
disgusting the U. S. Senate with sample of
his skill in debate. In the Senate, on Friday,
while the expediency of enlarging the powers
of the Freedman'S Bureau was being discussed.
the tblegraphc report says =" ,~..ss
Mr.. Trdmbull was interrupted by Mr., Sauls-
bury, who said his State was the first to enter
the Union dnder the Constitution, and the last
to disObey that Constitution He was glad to
say that she was the last slavehOlding State,
and ne was the last STAKEHOLDER init. Laugh
ter in the galleries.
"A Washington correspondent says, Mr..
Saulsbury's ambition seemed fully gratifed
whan his remarks called forth general merri-
ment ON the floor and in the galleries It
may have boon chat he was slightly demented
with some strong beverage, but. if such were
the case, it only enabled him to speak his real
sentiments all the more freely; his drunken
speeches are his sober convictions Mr. Trum-
bull quietly replied that he
Had no doubt that as Delaware had ohcycd
the Constitution She would obey the amend
lnent to i hy aboIishin% slavery. Applause
in the galleries.
1t is said that the Senate always, when Mr..
! Salisbury rises, expects To hear this expires
sion: the irN to adopt the Constitution,
etc. He pins his whole claim to loyalty to this
expression, and constantly LUrcs the Senate
with lis repetition.
These slavery loving individuals die hard
Having failed in fair argument and armed force
to maintain the Divine institution" they
now take delight in showing that though
scotched, they are not killed; that they ar,
still determined to advocate its blessings
They seem to take great pleasure in shown!
that they wont be convinced, and resort t
SOME strange methods to maintain their posi-
ton. Hon. Garrct Davis, of Ky, amused tn,
Senate one day last week by the following con
vincing argument:
" He held, says the report, {" that the Cir
cassian was the highest and the Negro the low
est of the races and all attempts to clevat
the race only ended i'll their degradation. Gu
yer, the great naturalist has described tn
African, but he ought to have added that
