Mr. Breckinridge's speech.

--From the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, we learn that the speech of Hon. J. C. Breckinridge, in the Senate, Tuesday, was bold, fearless, and severely denunciatory of the Administration. As an oratorical effort it was fine, attracting an audience far exceeding the capacities of the Senate Chamber.--The unconstitutional acts of the President were the burden of his remarks. He proclaimed his opposition to the war and his belief in the propriety of the ultimate destruction of this system of Government.
