Speeches.

Generally speaking, congressional speeches
arc dreary reading, and we feel like taking
credit rather than blame to ourselves for in
flicting so little of them upon our readers.
Yet occasionally the Senate or House is electri-
fed by speech which, though trivial in it's
immediate influence there, is far reaching and
weighty in its results, its sound reaching away
beyond the harrow halls in which it is deliv-
cred, and its thunders reverberating to the
most distant hamlet in the land. Such a
speech was the one delivered in the Senate on
the 23d ult by Senator Doolittlc, of Wiscon-
sin, against the latest edition OF the recon-
struction monstrosity in Congress; and such
speech was that of Senator Hendricks, OF
Indiana, delivered in the same body on the
3Oth ult., Oh the same subject. Both speeches
arc quite lengthy, and beyond our limits for in
sertion, yet we cannot foregO the pleasure Of
enriching our columns with extracts from
them.
