The following communication relative to Mr. Brent's resolutions in the House of Delegates of the state of Maryland, has been in type for several days.

Mr. Brent's resolutions have passed the House of Delegates almost unanimously. Although the federalists opposed them with great warmth, in debate, when they were put upon the final passage, only five voted against them. The debate commenced on Thursday the 7th inst. and did not end until about 2 o'clock on Monday night. Both sides of the question were supported with talents and eloquence. In the opposition were Messrs. J. H. Thomas, Dorsey, Parnham, and Herbert. In support of the resolutions were Messrs. Brent, Spencer, Archer, Wetherington, and Tabbs. Owing to the late hour of the night, Mr. Bland feeling a wish not to press the debate further, and thinking the debate had already occupied too much time, declined saying any thing, else we have no doubt he would have added much to the support the resolutions met with. Mr. Brent was the conspicuous sentinel, and the faithful guardian of the cause of Republicanism. This young man is an ornament to the state, and one day will become an honor & an ornament to these U. States. Although a youth of not more than 24 years, and it being the first time he ever was in any legislative body, he displayed in the debate a knowledge of politics, and the real situation of this country and of Europe, which is seldom to be met with in old and great minds. As an orator he is great. His is the eloquence "that never tires the attentive ear." His delivery is graceful and manly—his language is glowing and enthusiastic—his style is pure and classical—his mind lofty and towering, and when patriotism or the injuries his country has received, is his theme, his feelings which at all times flash from his eyes, gives a tone to his expression and elocution, which plant "the scorpion sting of despair" in the breasts of the enemies of the administration and of the government of this country. As may be expected, he is beloved by the friends of republicanism here, and although the federalists cannot refrain from admiring his talents, they cannot forget the lashing he has given to their party, and the proper point of view he has placed their conduct in, of course he finds an enemy in every federalist. Mr. J. C. Spencer, in a firm strain of reasoning did justice to the resolutions. Mr. Archer has also displayed great talents and enthusiasm in the cause of republicanism. Mr. Wetherington promises to be great—his sarcasm and wit, combined with the soundness of his understanding, will, we trust, elevate him high in the confidence of his country. Mr. Tabbs has also distinguished himself. He has a command of language, and a glowing imagination, well calculated to make a great and eloquent advocate.
