Mr.. Bayarj, who is a very excellent lawyer
and WHO, at the lime of his appointment by tn.
President as Minister to ST Petersburg, was .
member ofthe United States Senate, made nc
constitutional objection, such as has been sug-
gested by Mr.. Cores resolutions now before
the Senate. Are we to suppose that MIR. Bay
ard, so eminent for his legal information, 50
well known for his high mindcdness, would az
once betray the dignity of the body TO which
he belonged and sacrifice his reputation as n
lawyer. by accepting an Office which the Presi-
dent was not authorised to bestow upon him !
James A. IBayard is barristcr with whom it
would be ludicrous TO compare MIR. Gore, and
who is superior to AR. Rufus King, 49,
The following article appeared in the George
town tory print of the 10th inst.
+" MFR. King again delighted and astonished
the Senate by an uninterrupted stream Of splen
did eioquencs, in which were displayed wisdom
and patriotism Of the first order. The opinion
has become general. that SO great statesman
has never before sat in that body"
When we FIRST read the article, it brought to
'
'our mind the grazier's advertisement Of /" The
largest or eYer seen in this City ?" Mr.. Kings
friends turn him into ridicule. His elocution
is any thing else but splendid. He affects a
dignity Of manner unnatural to him, which, to
a close observer, makes him seem Affected. Il
is known that we are not partial to MIR. John
Randolph as a politician 2 But as an orator,
his pretensions are unrivalled. Mr.. Kings
claims, on that score. when compared to Mr..
Iiandolph's, sink into contempt. we will ven
ture to say that the worst thing that ever hap
Hpened to Mr.. King is his being in the Senate
of the United States. Many who thought high
ly of him before he took his seat there, have
since changed their opinions Of his intellectual
qualities VIVA observes particular attention
is what follows the passage quoted from the
Federal Republican /; it is there asserted that
An accomplished stenographer, ought to be
engaged, at any cost, to report the pro :eedings
and debates Of the Senate" Whyl Because
Rufus King is there. He wants speech pc.
isherit seems. One must be obtained I" at any
cost" but not cent voted to secure the
rights of the country.
