JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ.


am gratified TO find, that you have in this city,
visilant sentinel to herald every important move-
ment 1t is by this means, that your paper cons.i-
tutes the great social link Of the country, by
which the electric power Of public thought is COM
muncated. An instance has been afforded in the
letter published in the Herald of yesterday, in
which the just pretensions OF L. Collins Lee TO the
office of U. s. Senator, have been so forcibly
stated But while this is city Of "tall monu-
men's, II Is also city Of "tall men," and lofty
and eminent IN the great public square OF patrio-
tlsm, stands the towering figure of Joseph l. Speed
The citlzens OF London and Paris have looked ad-
mlrlngly on this proud column OF public faith, and
then have leaned confidingly upon it, when the
dark and howlIng storm Of reputation shook the
world There he stands, the observed OF all OBJ
servers" with those letters Of which he is the
author, unfolding lessons OF public morality, which
establish his fame as the Cato OF the age.


Place him in the Senate Chamber, and you give
hostage to the nations for the fufment of everv
republicanpledge, be it tor honor for money! And
when a crisis comes, in which an appeal can be
made TO mind, and reason be courted by the pow
er of intellectual argument the President Of the
Senate will only have to put pen In the hand Of
Joseph |. Speed, and vine-cOvered France and
"seagirt England shall bow to our supremacy.
Mandarins OF China nod approvingly TO our action
-and then, when gcntlerfeelings are to be invoked
and the soft persuasions o pathetic eloquence to
be. employed, who dare enter the arena, with the
gifted author Ot that essay on " Maternal Love"
which has shed upon the domestic relations Of our
city the mamma OF its blessedness?


We do not mean TO dlsparage other names, but
who can so well defend the Union OF the Country,
gritty, and with the other held his glorious shield,
10 protect and secure our private blessings am
sure you will answer "no one I" Let such be the
response, from the great Wigwam at Annapolis.
