Litchfield Enquirer

Mr. Wirt.—The Senate Chamber, on Monday, presented an interesting spectacle. From a desire to hear Mr. Wirt's continuation of his speech in defence of Judge Peck before the Court of Impeachment, the galleries were thronged at an early hour with an array of all the beauty of the fairer sex, to the exclusion almost of all the male auditors. The double row of Senators on each hand of the presiding officers, whilst the galleries beamed with radiant lustre, above them, beheld the area of the Chamber and the lobbies literally filled to overflowing with members of the other House, strangers and gentlemen of distinction. Hundreds of persons who attempted to obtain entrance had to return home disappointed.

Mr. Wirt cannot but have been gratified (unless entirely weaned of vanity,) with these proofs of the high esteem in which both his character and his abilities are held by those of his fellow citizens to whom he is best known.
