Correspoidesce of the Itepolkean Compiler WASIIINGTON, MAY 14, 185 C The speech of Mr. Cass upon. the Kansas question, concluded yesterday, is conceded to, be a masterly effort of that distinguished statesma,n., In - reviewing the causes which have led to the excitement in relation to the affairs of the Territory, Mr. Cass dwelt at considerable length on the general subject of '- Slavery, and discussed it with' that spirit of liberality and justice which is the distinguish ing trait of that great man's character, lie defended the. Administration against the re cent attack of Senator Seward, and showed, conclusively, the absurdity of that gentleman's extraordinary_ reasoning. The speech will be read with interest by every one who-takes : an interest in the political questions-of the day. The Agricultural Department of the Patent Office receives from Congress that recognition . and fostering care to which its growing im portance . and usefulness entitles it.

This report is unus ually full and interesting. It has been pre pared with great care, and I congratulate tho farmers that so much valuable inh3rmation is to 'be thus widely disseminated. The appro priation for the Department this session will be 560,000. The reception of Mr. Buchanan in this city has been in entire consonance with the feel jugs of a truly great man.
