Mr.. C0fhoMn, in reply to MIR. Webster, SAID, that 1t
lie possessed the the author Of Hudbas, which
the Senator had quoted. he certainly would moi think
of using il on this solemn occasion. The Senator had
minated that the Remuneration against the b was n-
tended TO forestai public sentiment. That, said Dir.

Carolina herself for the provisions OF the bill with the
exception Of the LIST section. Well might he except
the fret section, which contained the essence of this
worse than bill of abomnaiioa. But the Senator mis-
takes in supposng that he will have such authority in
favor OF this hill. He may indeed ind the names OF
her represe natives in favor of measures containing
