The Senate and the Ladies.—One mark
ed feature of the present session of Congress
has been, end is, tho assiduous ultendaneo of
tUo non-voting portion of the community ; the
members of society who aro supposed to take
ho iqterest or share io politieul discussions, be
cause thfoy exerc iso no direct or ostensible in
fluence on political arrangements. Every nar
rator or doscriber of events at Washington, tho
past winter, bos remurked upon the fidelity of
the ladies in resorting to the Senato Chamber;
and tho fact has even elicited remark from dis
tinguished Senutors, which has figured in the
published reports of tho Senate proceedings.
The phenomenon, thorefora, comes legiti
mately within the range of public observation ;
mid there is propriety in discussion of its mean
ing and its consequences. Wo givo place, ac
cordingly, to a significant essay on the subject,
from the Richmond Republican:
A Beautiful Spectacle.—Tho Washington
correspondent of tho Boston Courier says that
Mr. Clay, while “being delivered’’of his Inst
great speech, had ri “coponot of laurels over and
around his head,’’ and lhat ho was “imbedded
in a nest of the fair sex." “No Senator could
get across the ehnmber without thrusting his
head under a bonnet."
This is really a most captivating picture; and
one which animates us never to despair of the
Republic. Tho Indies are, to a man, the en
emies of disunion. We do not wish to inti
mate that they are more in favor of union than
the other sex—we do not think they are; but
when the knot is tied, they are infinitely more
true and loyal. They aro more patient, more
kind, moro enduring than man. When St.
Raul described chanty, lie drew tho picture of
a good woman yoked to a bad husband. “Char
ity sufforteh long and is kind; Charity beareth
ull things, believeth all things, hopetii all things,
endureth all things." But we are wandering
from our text, which was the American Senate,
and tho dames and damsels congregated therein.
Some of our gotempftlrurics, led on by Sena
tor Pearce of Maryland, are in favor of ex
cluding these fair creatures front the Senate, on
the ground that they divert tho attention of
Senators from their proper duties, and tempt
them to become too discursive and flighty in
thoir harangues. Unfortunately, however, most
of out public men speak for Buncombe, nt any
rate, so that there is no probability of making
their oratory more diflbse than it is at present.
• In the existing temper of Congress, the presence
of tho ladies Will havo a beneficial eflect. It
wdl sooth the irritated nerves of tho old gen
tlemen in the Senate, and load thoir thoughts
from the contemplation of annoying subjects-
to the days of their youth, when they went “a
courting," and rumbled along green lanes and
uinid beautiful flower gardens, in company with
a neat little cottage bonnet, a pair of very be
witching eyes, and a very small foot oncased in
a fascinating gaiter boot, like that which enp-
(K-ated tho juvenile) Winkle. “Alt,” thinks
some old Senator, as lie yields to these reflec
tions and rubs his withered brow, “time has
made sad changes since that hour. Can yonder
•Lit .woman be the spirit of my youthful droarns 1
Can this wbrmeaten heart and shrunken shank
belong to the gay stripling who wooed .and won
her? Can I be myself!” This seems a very
absurd inquiry; yet from every deep wrinkle,
from every gray,, hair, fyoni every trembling
nerve; from every feeble pulsation of tho aged
bosom, a melancholy voice answers, NO.
Our Senator has become philosophic, plii-
lnnthwtpic, even rdmantic. His icy old soul is
rapidly thawing under tho bland and Spring
like rays of youth and beuuty. If he rises to
make a few remarks, it is done in tho courtly
manner of tho be-wigged, he queued ond be-
powdered statesman of two centuries ago. Ho
cannot be rude, discourteous or vulgar in tho
presence of woman. The novels which he read
when he was a boy represented tho brnvost
'knights «S most gentlo, most deferential to
the fair sox. What a transformation bus been
wrought in this eminent public functionary! It
is like that effected upon Halbert Glendinning
liy the mysterious Ladv of Aven'd. An hour
stneo ho Was turbulent in manner, coarse in
speech, imperious, provoking a personal con
troversy with every,Word ; ntnv he is a model
of quiet dignity, regarding himself with calm
selt-rospocl, and n.it to booutdono even by Sir
1‘iercio Shafton in polished courtesy. *
Our Senator, exhausted with his effort, sits
down tfnd wipes his brow. Tho ladies look
with rcspoct and udmiratio!) upon tho kind
and intelligent countenance of tho good old
man. These reverential glances increase the
benignity and tenderness of his spirit. Instead
of the fire-eater that ho was but a short time a-
go, ho becomes in his own imagination a sort
of patriarch, with flocks and heards, and quite
a number of wives. Ho foels softened, benev
olent, and even loving. He wonders that
pooplein this world ever quarrel, and, most of
all, that those bound together in matrimony ev
er fall out with each other. His mind recurs
with great sensibility to the married relation.
A man and his wife are bound together, ho ru
minates, for better for worse. Destiny has
made them one, and to “bear and forbear” is
their highest wisdom as well as duty.—What
God hath joined together, let not man put u-
BUiider.” Verily the presence of women has
worked a miracle. It has struck the rocky
heart of an old politician, and Io ! St,rearns of
penitence, poetry and piety gush forth.
But her influence does not stop here; By no
means. The venerable convert is not only pi
ous, penitent and poetical,but ho turns his new
acquisitions- to a practical purpose. Women
remind him,of marriage—ntorriugo of the Un-
ion of thosp mighty sovereignties, one of which
ho represents iu the- Senate, and whoso slave
controversy now absorbs the attention of all
public men. . He thinks of those great states
which pledged thoii youthfal vows to each oth
er at Bunker Hill and Yorktown ; whoso ear
ly affection was purified and made more fervid
by the fires of common sorrows, but the glories
of whose bright day of wedlock have cast into
the shade the memories of.former sufferings,
pile sees them alienated, distrustful, almost pre
pared to. dissolve the matrimonial bonds, and
pursue each a seporate path through life. Tho
thojghtri* loo much for our b*movgkut Senu-
oi'fptfToby, when ho swore
ier should not. die, tho old
gentleman vows that this in on shall not be
dissolved. lie Will interpose; ho will offer »
compromise; he will speak soothingly to
every body around; ho will make any sacri
fices ; yea, if there bo no one 61so to pay the
Curtius, he will throw himself, with his ivory-
headed cane, his broad-brimmed lint, his enpa-
cious umbrella, into the yawning abyss. Ho is
an old man. He 1m* given to ambition t ie
kernel. It is not too much to givo his countiy
the shell. Ho is the “last leaf upon the tine.
What matter though ho yield himself now o
the breeze! A few more blasts, nt any in e,
must simp him from the withered stem, am
ncml him down that arrowy tide of tune w nc i
knows no return. , r .
Admit tiro women, by nil mean* • .
tho groat civilizers of tlm ngc- They enter the
political arena, and the wild beasts of party
crouch in tendernoss and awe at then foot.
They soften and humanize even ferocious
fanatics, making the... decent, gentle accessi
ble to reason. Admit them, and their veiy
presence will banish harshness, acrimony and
estrangement, Grim old greybeards, who re
present inflexible old sovereignties, will learn to
temper thoir fierce valor with a kindly ond for
giving spirit. And states, once joined together
by hooks of steel, but almost parted now, will
return to a sisterly embruce r and clasping hand
in hand exclaim, in tho language of loyalty
and love that once fell from the lips of a noble
woman, “Whither thou goest l will go; and
where thou lodgest I will lodge ; thy people
slmll be my people, and thy God mv God.
Whero thou dicst will I die, and there will I be
buried; the Lord do so to me, and more also,
if aught but doath part thee and mo.”
Another writer attributes to the ladies who
attend the chambers of the Capitol very differ
ent motives from those of humanizing the boor-
gnrdens of Congress. Ho says:
Tho greut object to be achieved in Wash
ington, hy young ladies, is to get a husband.
They Hvq here, und come here, for no other
purpose. A young lady who has ‘spoons’ can
take her pick among the male sex who are un
married. But, a very lnrgo portion of the
young ladies one meets with in Washington,
nro us poor ns church mice. If they have
beauty, they aim high. When they first camo
out, they set their caps for a secreturv or se
nator. The second session, they jwould take
any decent member of Congress. The third
vear, they nro somewhat discouraged, and arc
willing to throw their charms into the arms of
the army or navy. The font th year, they will
consent to marry a twelve hundred, or even a
thousand dollar clerk. After that, they.are en
tirely dependent, for a matrimonial offer, upon
outside strangers. A visit to the cupitol ar.d
a winter in Washington, aro of immense survice
to many sweet girls front country portions of
the different States. They learn a lesson that
lasls them for life. They find that “all is not
gold that glitters," and that, men whose fame
hus rung through the section from whence they
came, are hut men. They find them, in real
life, a different bet of gentlemen from what

Carlyle’s New Literary Enterprise.-
Mr. Carlyle has ugain appeared before tho En
glish public in the first of a series of papers,
which, under the ominous name of “Lutter
Day Pamphlets," are to appear monthly. He
takes ns his subject “Tho Present Time,” which
ho choractorises as “days of endless calamity,
disruption, dislocation, confusion worse con
founded,” and declares his persuasion that if
they bo not also days of endless hope, “then
they are days of utter despair.”
Tho revolutionary uttompts of past years are
examined and condemned as worthless—in
capable of effecting any amelioration of the
condition of mankind. At Democracy he
launches many scathing bolts: universal suf
frage, vote by bullet, and all tho several parts
that go to make up the perfect machine of re
presentative governments, “can answer no oth
er end than to make the phantasm-governors
and governed go harmoniously together to
perdition." America is thus whimsically char
acterised :
“Cease to brag to mo of America, and its
model institutions and constitutions. To men
in their sleep there is nothing granted in this
world : nothing, or as good as nothing, to men
that sit idly caucusing and ballot-boxing on the
graves of their heroic ancestors, saying, ‘It is
well, it is well!’ Corn and bucon are granted :
not a very sublime boon, on such condition ; a
boon moreover which, on such conditions, can
not last! No! America too will have to strain
its energies in quite another fashion than this ;
to crack its sinews, and all but break its heart,
as tho test of us hnve had to do, in thousandfold
wrestle with the Pythons and mud-demons be

following recapitulate of the contents of the

partially accomplish the object in view, amt
perhaps lead to tho unravelling of this terrible
mystery.
The document commences by stating that
“the friends of tho unfortunate lady who disap

the 26th Nov. last, and who was supposed tohart
committed suicide, have, for more than three
months beer, in painful uncertainty, and in still

fate. They havo further ascertained, with
precision, that a young man calling himself
