..;n,sr Mr.. Charles Biddle Of Nashville, was
.a,o;n,ted to the Senate by the President, for a
I~dgpshp in Florida. His nomination was re.
led. Mr. Grundy voted to approve under the
F,IIowiug circumstances, A. alleged by the Ken
tresy Reporter. That paper says:
:. Tennessee Senator.-Letters from Nash
Vile inform Us, that Mr.. Eaton is out as candi
late for Senator from that state in the pla ce of
AZ Grundy, whose term of service expires the
Ih March next. Mr.. Eaton is the candidate Of
Che Hero, and it is thought that he will be elected.
There has been much management. counting of
votes, &c. on the part Of Messrs GRUMPY. Eat
m and others, and also much contention between
hem. as to which is the most devoted Jackson
man. Mr.. Grundy, to prove that he was the
most thorough going " whole hog" Of any Of the
Candidates for the office, stated to the Speaker
Of the Tennessee House of Representatives, that
:, he rofei for the confirmation of Mr.. Biddle's
suuoin,rnsat. phen he kneac hin, TO be totally u,-
omuIfsd for the Offices" this is authentic and may
5e relied en-"
This has drawn from Mr.. Biddle the following
card in the Nashville Republican Of the Goth
September
"Mr Grundy has been pleased. either jocu-
.,rh or in earnest, to do me a material and un-
proyoked wrong. Whist the assault made BY
Kim was confined to the circle of this community,
felt content to wait for proper time to show
N uhat the injury consisted, and to present him
20 the public in the attitude which his conduct
towards me entitled him to be considered. l was
| aware, however. that every thing which might be
said upon this subject, would afford pretext for
him and his friends to utter the cry Of persecution
have determined. therefore, to wait until the
election is over, and will then present him to
! the public from documentary proofs in light
which hi. best friends may not be pleased to see
/ hun. "Yyur ob't serve
""' CHARLES BIDDLE."
The war of character which is likely to ensue,
!, NAV be painful TO witness; but it must be con-
ceJed that If the Kentucky Reporter IS correct
N It's statement Of the fact-and Mr.. Biddle
seems 10 establish it, BY admitting his previous
knowledge OF it from other sources--it must be
conceded we say, that 50 proHisate an avowal, Of
Of So profigate an act, deserves no light repre-
hensiOn. The obligations of Senator OF the U.
States, are as weighty as the majesty Of the Con-
Situuon can make, and as solemn as oaths can
render them. The Senator who makes the wish
es OF the President his inducement to do what his
duty and his oath forbade; who unblushinsly
avOws the motive, aud urges the act, as recon-
mendation for renewed public confidence and
trust, trumpets his own dishonor to the world
Il any thing could add to the degradation. the
state Of the relations subsistisg between the Pre-
sident and Senator Grundy, would have that ef-
feet; for this base concession was made to man
whom the Senator neither trusted or loved, In
terest could alone haze prompted it.

SseeSSion Those who have lately become
such sticklers for the Union, hold up Secession
as sort Of merit-they seem as much as to say,
have nothing to do with Notification; no. nos
am guiltiess Of that sin; my remedy is Seces-
bion!-as il Secession was something particular
y healing and uniting in its tendency! 1t re-
minds Us Of the consolation which Don Quixotte
Undertook to administer to Sancho, when he
told him, that grievious as were the bruises in
iicted by the slaves of the Yanguesian Carriers,
hey could not terminate in any thing worse than
Heath! Judge Barbour, and all the new converts
would console US for the mischief Of Notification,
BY telling Us We have the right of Secession! A
special recipe for keeping dry, by Jumping into
the river.-I6id.
