Front the Knickerbocker. PEEP AT. WASHINGTON: LEAF FROM THE JOURNAL OF AN AMERICAN TOURIST. " come toetch you to the Capitol:9 Julias Ciesar. Undoubtedly, the point to which all eyes are turned, during a certain portion of the year, is the city of

Washington. l"e D1S gul, vi v uuou are m-rc anj there we have batteries of eloquence, and oratorical thunder, and, in these high times, flashes of lightning. 1 came, this session, to take a survey of the war-erround to look at the generals, and the colonels, the sergeants, and the corporals, the drummajors, and the nfers . I was dropped at Gadby's. It was yet morning and the flags, with their stars, were waving over both wings of the majestic capitol, indicating that Congress was now under full way. I ascended the hill, whence proceeds much noise, and smoke, and confusion, and law. My heart beat high at the prospect of beholding the assembled wisdom of the nation: and I did not long pause to look at the magnificent grounds around the capitol the strcng-built terrace nor the naval monument, floating, as it were, in an artificial reservoir, supplied by an everrunning fountain. I hurried, out of breath, up the etc jps of stairs, threaded the corridors and rocky mazes, until I found myself under the canopy of the huge dome that arches the rotunda. Every foot-fall echoed and re-echoed, and each whisper reverberated, from a thousand quarters. The groups peeping at this thing and that the sculpture in the niches of the wall and the paintings that half encircled i the area, detained my eye but a moment for my j cicerone hurried me on, amid mazes and galleries yet more confined, until I found myself overlooking j the Representatives of the Nation. I was in the i Ladies' Gallerv, amid a sea of tossing heads among . c belles from the sunny South, with their sallow faces, and the blooming girls of the Northern and Middle States; some bleached by the fogs of New England; such as prevails at Newport, Rhode Island, and along the cast of Maine; and others, grown pale amid the swamps of Georgia and the Carolina?, but making up in spirit, life, and conversation, all that was lacking in the rosv cheek and lip. A long hall was before me. A portrait of La Fayette and the flag of the Union were at my left in front, a large circular gallery for "the people," supported by huge columns, of surpassing grandeur. "And is Mis," said I, "the House of Representatives! Those men, there with hats on, buzzing and chatting, whispering and laughing reading newspapers, hemming and coughing are thct the lawmakers of our twenty-four States'?" A member is speaking, but nobody hears him: and the louder he talks, the louder the buzzing. 'Sir,' he says; 'sir,' again, in a jet louder tone; 'Sir a voice, like 'the wry-necked fife. and now in The Speaker pricks up and yields his ears: 'Sir, I call the attention of the House to the important fact, .' by this time, unless the orator is a favorite, the Speaker's head is again dropped, and the yawning members, it may be, have fallen into a quiet sleep. 1 borrowed a glass--for one can see but little with unaided eyes athwart the wide extended hall -to take my peep at a few of the talked-of, the written about 'the Lions.' 'There,' said my cicerone, 'is Mr. Adams, the Ex-President, in his faded frock-coat, and white woollen stockings, plodding and plodding, ever plodding. He is always in his seat, perpetually at wprk; keeping a journal, it may be, or writing poetry n a young lady's album; perhaps studying to ascertain whether Hesiod is an older poet than Homer "knowing every thing, interested in every thing; a busy spirit, clogged in cold clay; a small Vesuvius, with a peak of snow, with a heart of fire and a hand of ice.' 'And who,' I inquired, 'is this other unquiet, slow, moping, head-dropping body, who seems to live by himself, and commune with himself and feed on his own thoughts?' 'That is George .VDiJie,' answered my cicerone. 'You have hit him off to the life. When he opens his mouth, this noisy House is as silent as a sepulchre. Political friends and foes are alike still; every whisper is hushed, every head erect, every eye-open. You have no idea of the sensation that little fellow can create. He rolls out his words, and bites them iff, and thrashes and slashes as did old Horatins Coclcs, when, with his battle-axe, he stood upon the bridge, and with his single arm defended Rome.' That stout built man, a little to the right of M'DufKe, with a snowy head and a Roman nose, is Barges, the 'Bald Eagle of the House,' as he has been called; a man adroit at all sorts of weapons. He resembles one of the old soldiers; he fights on foot or on horse, with heavy or light arms, a battle-axe or a spear. In modern warfare, he is at home in' the artillery or the infantry, the cavalry or the engineers: a broad-sword or a pistol, a kings-arm or a spade, are equally familiar to his hand. There is Johnson, the gallant colonel the Indian killer. He has a fine head, and a good countenance. He is writing kind things to his constituents. He has half a dozen messenger-boys at his side, trotting at a wink, eanding his letters, folding them, or hurrying away to stamp them with tlie 'U. S.' seal. There is Edward Everett t the accomplished scholar, the fine writer! Indeed, you might as well throw the muse of History into a caravan, or put him on a "broad horn" on the Mississippi, with a huge pine for a rudder, and a cane-brake for a bundle of quills. Crockett, there, is a better Neptune, and holds a steadier trident. And when a man can grin, and fight; flog a steamboat, and whip his weight in wildcats, what is the use of reading and writing? There i3 Wayne, an accomplished man, and Wilde, a fine scholar, a poet, and as civil a Georgian, too. Bin7iey '& there, a grave looking man, a mighty logicchopper. But I must pause for what a mass of representatives there are here! What singular samples of our vast country: liere sits a l ennesseau, and j . . . - . .-. , i

there a Missounan, educated among buffaloes, and 00tt at every thing. I have never heard such a nurtured in the forest as intimate with the passes voice. It is equally distinct and clear, whether at ofthe Rocky Mountains, as the cit with Broadway; ! -ts highest key or lowest whisper rich, musical, who lives where hunters and trappers have vexed ! captivating. His action is the spontaneous offspring every hill, and who cares no more for a Pawnee j ofthe passing thought. He gesticulates all over. than a professed beau for a bright-plumed belle, j The nodding of his head, hung on a long neck, his Here is a man from the prairies and there another arms, hands, fingers, feet, and even his spectacles from the swamps and morasses, whose blood the j ar,d pocket-handkerchief, aid him in debate. He muskctoes have utterly stolen away. There is a steps forward and backward, and from the right to sallow face from the rice-grounds, and here the the left, with effect. Every feature speaks. The flushed cheek from the mountains; 'and by his side ! whole body has its story to tell, a man from the pine grounds; the land of tar and ! There is Forsyth, with his arms a-kimbo, head turpentine. hat a people we are! "What a coun- thrown back, spectacles on, laughing at what sometry is this of ours! How wide in extent how rich j body has to say, who is speaking over the way. I in production how various in beauty! I have ask- I cannot describe his figure, but it is a handsome one.

ea m my iraveis, ior the est, in the streets of the Queen of -the W , -nj, vmjcu out as yesterday was a wilderness. They smiled at my inquiry, and said it was among the -hoosier' of Indiana or the Muckers' of Illinois. Then I journeyed Ion"-! I crossed great rivers and broad prairies, and again I asked for the West. They said it was in Missouri. I arrived at its capitol. They complained that they were "too far down east." 4'But go," they said, "if you would see the West, days and days, and hundreds of miles up the Missouri;" farther than from us to New England, and beyond the llockv Mountains, and among the Snake Indians of the Oregon, and you may find it." It was the work of a dozen years to find the West, and I turned about in dispair. Indeed, I have found no bounds to my country. I have searched for them for months, in almost every clime; under the torrid zone of Louia--lana, the land of the orange and the olive, and beneath the co Id sky of Maine. I have seen the riceplanter gathering rich treasures from a bountiful the ' ?t fisjiefman- c0Tg Kb little bark on the rocky island, dropping his hook as carefully as if the ocean were full of pearls, and not of mack erel. I have seen the mill-man sawing wood in all variety of forms, on the farthest soil of New England; and I have beheld the same wood floating down the Savannah, or the beautiful Alabama, it

the strangest metaniorphoses: it may be, in a clock, regularly ticking off the time; in a pail perchance in a button; and for aught I know, in a tasteless ham, or an unfragrant nutmeg! I have never been offthe soil of my own country; and yet I have seen the sun go down, a ball of fire, without a moment's twilight, flino-ing over rich, alluvial lands, blooming with magnolias and orange tree., a robe of gold; and again I have stood upon the bare rocks of colder climes, and when the trees were pinched by the early frost, I have marked the same vanishing rays reflected from the leaves, as if a thousand birds of paradise were resting in the branches: and when the clouds, streaming with red, and purple, and blue; tinged and tipped by the pencil of Beauty, were floating

afar, like rainbows in motion, as if broken from their confinement; how mingling and interlacing their dyes, and glittering arches, and anon sprinkled over, and mellowing the whole heaven; then I have fancied that I was indeed in a fairy land, where the very forests danced in golden robes; responding to the setting sun, as the statue of the fabled Mcmnon gave forth its welcoming notes, as the rays of the morning played upon its summit. I have been where the dog-star rages, scattering pestilence in its train; where the long moss hangs from the trees; where the pale faces and sad countenances give admonition, that this is the region of death. I have stood by the wide prairie, and beheld the green billows rise and fall, and the undulations, chequered with sun-light and shadow, chasing one after the other, afar over the wide expanse. And I have gone amid the storms of winter, over the high hill, upon the loud-cracking crust, amid the music ofthe merry sleigh-bells. And here are tiie Representatives from all these regions here in one grand council all speaking one language all impelled by one law! Oh, my Country, my Country! If our destiny be always linked as one if the same flag, with its glorious stars and stripes, is always the flag of our Union; rever unfurled or defended but by fuekmen; then Poetry and Prophecy, stretching to their utmost, cannot pre-announce its destiny! But to return from our digression. We have rcthreaded the cork-screw galleries, and are in the Senate chamber. Here is a different body from the one we have just left. The Senators seem older than the Representatives; but so many of these bald seniors exchange gray heads for black ones, that it is difficult to determine. They sat with their hats off that looks better. They bustle about less that is more agreeable, if you would hear a speaker. 'Show me the lions,' said I to my cicerone: 'Where is Van Burcn, where is Clay, and Webster, and Calhoun!' My first query was answered by pointing to the Yice President's chair. I should have much to say of Mr. Van Buren; but they have elevated him to a high olfico, which, like all offices, has its draw-backs and disadvantages. 'He cannot figure,' said my guide, 'in debate; his mouth is shut, unless opened to say, 'the aye3 have it,' or 'the memorial is referred, or something ofthe like.' His manner is calm and bland, and he presides with ease and dignity. And there he sits, with no opportunity for display thumping with his mallet, when the galleries are out of order, having occasion only to remark, now and then, that 'the question is so and so,' etc. The newspapers talk of his shrinking, cowering, blushing. This is all the veriest romance in the world. He lives in the Senate like an embodied abstraction. He takes Clay's jibes, and Webster's thrusts, as the ghost of Creueie received the embraces cf -Eneas. He heeds them not. He leans back his head piles one leg upon the other and sits as if he were a pleasant sculptured image, destined for that niche all his life. That massive forehead those prodigious eyes those heavy shoulders that iron-built frame, point out Webster. How like Satan himself he can look, and what a malicious smile! He talks as if he were telling a plain story; not enthusiastic, but concise and clear. His arm comes up, as if lifted by a spring. He speaks like one from the grave so solemn and so severe. Anon the lion is roused. What a voice! The sentences leap into life with well-timed metaphor, skilfully interwoven all perfectly wrought out. Yet Webster is a man of no imagination. He has a well disciplined taste; and give him a clue to a figure, and he will trace it out with force and beauty. That slender-built man, apparently about fifty years of age, in a blue coat, with bright buttons, a frizzly head, and an eye like a hawk, erect and earnest, with mouth partly open that is Calhoun. He is not an orator yet few command so much attention none more. His voice is bad. His gesticulation is without grace. He is zealous and enthusiastic, but without being frantic. His apparent candor, earnestness, and sincerity command attention. His voice struggles in his throat, and you almost understand the thoughts swelling there, and they soon rush out as fast as words can convey them. He speaks, in debate, as a farmer, in earnest, would talk to his boys, or a merchant to his clerks. He steps about, elands here and there, looks at this man and that and if a man looks inquiringly at him, he asks 'I am right, am I not!' 'But as I was saying, this conservative principle.' 'It hurts me to talk to-day; I've got a cold,' etc. This is much the manner of Mr. Calhoun. If an idea comes into his head, out it comes, without regard to rhetorical polish. Mr. Calhoun's power is in colloquy animated conversation. Men are willing to listen to a man who talks well, whose declamation might be insufferable. Calhoun links words.togef.her bites offthe last syllables, and oftentimes eats up, as it were, whole sentences, in the rapidity of enunciation. That tall, well-formed man, with a wide mouth, and a countenance indicating every change of tho't within, is Clay. He has been so often described, that I shall dwell upon him briefly, here. Nature made him an orator to figure in a free government. In a despotism, his head would have reached the l i at : i i . c i ujuck, ior nnpuuence, oeicre ne was tnirty. lie is block, for impudence, before he was thirty. He is all ease and composure; is never thrown off his guard. He ls.cver ready, and the less prepared the better, for the fight. He eludes with the utmost skill, all manner of weapons. No member of Congress is better at the reconnoitering and skirmishing ofdebate. That tall, red-headed man. with a larsre. manlv figure, and full face, is Preston, the new member irom rsouth Carolina. He looks as n he had long lived under the rays of a Southern sun. Preston is sui generis. He talks poetry, all in rich array, and gorgeous sentences. When there is a storm in the Senate, they hang him out as a rainbow; and altho' the rough clouds often darken his glittering hues, before the storm is hushed, yet tempers are cooled, and spirits are softened, by the dazzling arch, and the rich interfacings of its bow. His is unpremeditated eloquence. He does not, like Sheridan, mark, in his orations, the place to introduce "Good God! Mr. Speaker." The incidents of debate suggest all his fine sentences. His gestures are admirable. No American orator is more graceful few have more art; and yet few understand so well the "art above arts." Such a man was necessary in the Senate. All the kinds of eloquence that Cicero describes, are now exemplified and illustrated in that body, no two are formed on the same model, Felix Grundy is a happy man. There is not a

more jovial, benevolent face in Chi-tendom, than he wears. He was au actor upon the stage of public life, long before, my remembrance. His head is now all gray, and his step begins to falter, and bear the marks of age, but his mind has lost nothing of its vigor, and he none of his humor. He is happy at a retort, skilful at a thrust, and good humored, even in the angriest debate. He has a mind happily tempered for political warfare. Leigh is a new-comer from Virginia; a round, thick-built man, with a little sharp eye, that snaps at times like a spark of fire. He is something of a lion in the National Menagerie. Perhaps my metaphors might seem objectionable, were it not that we 'Republicans' have a right to talk of our 'Servants,' as we please. Wright has a fine person and countenance. No one exhibits more calmness and dignity, or more narrowly watches the progress ofdebate. I would tarry here, had I time and space, to serve

up the stout-framed Benton, and give you a touch of i, his manner of speaking, so odd to Northern eye and J ear, but doubtless the mode in his Missouri, where i his heart unquestionably is. I would have some- j thing to say of Senator Smithy who in his dress con-j nects this age with the days of our fathers and grand- j fathers of Porter, with his Irish face and Irish elo quence, a worthy son ofthe green isle of Erin and of Wilkins, too, who hates a joke; but I must pause. And here let me remark, that I should like the Sou - ate better, if it were not such a prodigious snuff-box, ; aud the snuff-takers were less numerous. 'Give me j your snuff-box,' says Clay to Prentiss; and 'yours,' and 'yours; and thus a snuff-box runs a journey for! a day, from Senator to Senator, without ten minutes ! re st. And, by the way, in a long day's session, let ' e add, the hungry Representatives bring in crack- j s and cheese, and gingerbread, into the House,' me er: and spread them out, as for a dinner, upon their ma hegany desks! If I had the pen of a Trollope, how I would lash them! And, Indeed, why umv I not undertake the reform, before some Hamilton comes in among us, and murders us all, for the sins ofthe; few, who, having been but recently caught, we have i nut. iuiu iimt; 10 civilize, so wen as we sunn vy inu i time another session comes round! "Off with your! legs, then, gentlemen, not from your bodies, but from your desks! Off with your gingerbread, your j crackers and cheese! Cease your snoring and sleep- ! ing in your scats! Up from the sofas, and no longer I .. K.,l i: li I 11 l ii repose there, sprawled out like leviathans!

A drab-dressed, ! brad-brimmed-hat Quaker, here; a modem belle ! there; a thick-built German, a happy Irishman, a i chattering Frenchman, a proud Castilian, jabbering I all sorts of tongues, from that ofthe wild Indian, to j the double-relined and patent English; the easy dash; i the mouth wide open, and head erect take all in j all, in such a current, and my word for it, such a collection cannot be toundupon the l ice ot tiie earth, But parties and balls are pretty much the eainj in W aslnngton as any where else. Etiquette, it may be, is severer here the art of curd-in g is carried to sublimer perfection. Yet, the chief distinction is, i the line minds, the distinguished men, among whom ; you are thrown.

Talent nowhere finds more, who can appreciate its worth no matter whether it be the mind that thunders in the forum, or the foot that trips it gracefully in the lively dance. This is our court; an odd court, indeed, it is but the only difference between us and our brethren over the water, is, that they have courtj dresses, and rules of etiquette, and we all sorts of dresses, and do as we please. There is no Parisian ! milliner in our dcyninions who can spread her wand I over our whole Union nor French Perurjuicr who is monarch over the externals ofthe head, making every lock tremble at his bidding. As we are singular in government, so we are singular in fashions. In such an assemblage, therefore, from so many quarters, costumes necessarily partake ofthe varie ty of tastes and fashions.
