gument much IN the style. However clever
Mir Sorrs and alr. Buchanan may appear IN conclu-
son. L venture 10 predict they viii fail under the
universal and irresistible powers of Mr. Writ. In
deed l perceive already, the mana gers have lost
every chance for fame in this pageantry. Tomorrow
an immense crowd will repair TO the Senate Chamber
to hear the great orator and advocate.
L have fallen into the common error, produced by
the statements IN many papers, that the notice to the
State OF Georgia, Of the writ of error in the of
Tassels accompanied by an Injunction of the ex-

Secretary of ate and he Vice resident and as an
earnest of the truce the latter was at the table
of he former last week. Be ween the Presi
dent and VicePresident there has as yet been
no exchange of compliments. The ostensi-
