Quilted 10 order" In other words, Mr.
Calhoun would have acted towards me, as
he did not act towards Mr.. Randolph -
The fact is, Mr.. Dlckerson submitted to a
gross indignity. and he is anxious Ia throw
u I,.tl In H., G'.,Ib.,n,, j.,
order TO lessen the odium which attaches
to his tame submission to a gross insult. 1t
is to his advantage that the Vice Pres-
dent should be- exonerated from censnre
for, IN proportion as he is censured for II
failure To perform his duty, will Mr. Dick
prson he for failure to exact the same
measure of severity for others which had
been dealt out to him. Thus stands the
matter and. therefore, If Mr.. DiclkersOn' $
evidence were even more positive than ii
IL, II should be received with much allow
ance. He participates in the censue, in
an equal degree with Mr.. Calhoun
But another reason has been found jus
'6c.ti'e of Mr.. Calhoun by some of his
zealous friends, which the ingenuity of
Mr.. Dickerson failed to exc out, and thai
is, that the rules Of the Senate do not au-
th"rize its presiding ,tIicpr To cali he mem

Ihr last man whom we should have rxpec-

recent events had nat pl1ced him in situa-
ton To demonstrate most conclusive ely, that
h. is a very blu4hing Adonis! He SAYS him

Mr.. Randolph did not call Mr..
Clay a rascal" says the Washington Tel

did he not say something very Ike it,
something which, without much torturine,
