POSTSCRIPT.
Judge White replied to mr.. Barton in
much anger and bitterness Of spirit; and
concluded with the declaration, that he
had no explanation or apology TO make for
what he bad said, went over and sat near
mr. Barton.
Whereupon mr.. Barton rose and said
rise to explain to the Senator OF Tennessee;
for, unlike him, will both explain aud a
pologize, when think It proper, especially
now be has come over to our side Of the
House, where have long thought he
ought to be. Hope he will stay ill after
the Presidents powers ofremoyal from Of
fee shall be settled.
He has said he would not apply, "eUen
to the Senator from Missouri" the aphor-
ism, 'the CALLED jade wnces,' but will leave
me to be the exclusive Judge of It's applca-
ton. That's far. lagree to that. And
instead ofsome tart repartee, | proceed to
explain to him.

the subject Of the documents, as he suppos-
es but because / really thought, until
informed better by the Chair, that he had
made a regular and systematic attack upon
the motives and votes Of the minority in
that business.
But GO for peace, upon terms of per-
feet reciprocity; and in that spirit | will
not apply, epea to the Senator from East
Tennessee, my figure Of the whited Sc
pulchre, or my figure of the palace slave,
(both of which seem to have struck his
fancy, in his reply just now,) but will leave
him to be the exclusive Judge of their ap-
plication.
And as the senator doubts, whether
observe in practice those passages ofscrip
ture which | occasionally quote, | refer
that question to my Maker.

Him than one single account with any

THE LONG AGONY OVER, AND THE NO
MINATION OUT.

We delay this paper something beyond the
usual hour of publication, in order to lay before
our readers the important intelligence received,
Yesterday, from Downingvile. This we have
been able to accomplish. though not without eX-
traordiuary exertions ard extra help. But the
crisis is important, we had almost said appalling,
and demands of every patriotic cltizen OF Maine
the highest sacrifices in his power to make. The
important proceedings of the grand convention
at DowninSyille reached here by express about :!
before S O'Clock, p. NJ. having travelled the
whole distance, notwithstanding the extreme
hi-h temperature OF the weather, at the rate Of
thirteen and a half miles an hour. And but for
IN unfortunate occurrence, IT would undoubtedly
have reached here at least three hours earlier
Capt. John Downing, who, with MS Characters
tic magnanimity and patriotism, volunteered 10
bring the express the whole way. having taken a
very high spirited steed for the first 10 miles. was
unfortunately thrown to the ground in attempting
% leap barrier which lay across the road. Two
of his ribs were broken by the fall. and his right
arm so badly fractured that it is feared amputa.
ton must be resOrted to- besides several other Sc
-ere confusion. on various parts of the body
We are happy to hear, however, that Doctor Ia
chariah Owning, who on hearing the melancho-
" intelligence, verv promptly repaired to the
spot to offer his professional services, pronounces
the Captain out of dagger. and also that the Cap
tain bears his misfortune with his accustomed
forttude. expressly declaring that the only re-
gret feels on the occasion is the delay Of the ex
press. Here is patriotism, deyotedness to the
welfare of the country, and to genuine democra-
&c national republican principles worthy the days
OF the revolution.
Lieut.. Timothy Downing forwarded the ex-
press the remainder of the way with the utmost
despatch. having run down three horses, one of
which died on the road. But we keep our read
ers too long from the gratifying intelligence re-
ceived:
