For Frederick Douglass' Paper.

WASHINGTON, April 6th, 1854.

MR. DOUGLASS:—Among the most pleasant and prompt speakers in the House of Representatives is Mr. Chandler of Philadelphia. As a scholar, and as a chaste and beautiful writer, he, probably, has no superior in that body.

Mr. Chandler and Gerrit Smith have become mutually interested in each other, and are often seen conversing together. In the speech which Mr. Chandler made yesterday, on the Nebraska bill, are the following lines: I send them to you, that you may know Mr. Chandler's appreciation of Mr. Smith.

"A brief experience in this House has taught me that a man who is a professed
Abolitionist may, nevertheless, be a hospitable gentleman, a ripe scholar, and a powerful orator, capable of masterly efforts, even on subjects not connected with his speciality."
