Let it be recollected that the Sub

some of the Southern States, secured
the vote of the people by such protes-

they were hollow-hearted! Does 1t
not convince every rejecting man that
the leaders of the Democratic party,
have, by every means under Heaven,
been insidiously endeavor!ng to obtain
power for the purpose of producing a
separation of the Union! Does it not
appear clear that Mr.. Van Buren, like
Aaron Burr, has for long time been
wishing for a separation of the Free
and Slave States for the purpose Of
setting up himself as Emperor OF the
North? The North hate our lnstltu-

serted on the ha91r of Congress that a
large majority of the people would 500

than to see another slave State added
to the confederacy. Who are in a

The Van Buren, Democrats. Is it not
therefore apparent, that it is the Van

OF a Sub-Ire0sury amounts to Dotbino

Well, | have attended no less than
three "talks" red and white to day,
and will forthwith proceed to give you
the substance of the paIe-face, reSer-
wing that of the rcdbrethren" for an
other occasion.
ImprimuS.-The House, which for
the last week has been turned into
mandatory OF speeches calculated
from the meridian of each orators con-
stituency, is yet engaged on the install
ment Bill, in spite of the remonstran-
0OO Of M. Cow hrnleng. who in vain
attempts every day to have TINS nnan-
cial fabric fairly launched and in full
operation. 1t is not unlikely that an
other week will be consumed in its dis
cussion, for most of the bigguns Of the
House have not yet opened fire upon it,
The most interesting part of the de-
Lberations in this part of the Capitol
to-day was that arising from Wise's re-
solution in relation to the Florida war,
which every day ushers in the dulness
OF the Especial Order" with an ex-
Ploslon of party feeling.-When first
told you of this subject being brought
before the House, l said that its discus
sion was attended with so much mere
partisan warfare, that l would not
dwell upon its particulars; but it has
now assumed so belligerent an aspect,
and will consequently bemuch bruited,
that | would prove a careless chroni.
cler did omit to notice it now. In my
letter Of Thursday | stated that while
Mr.. Wise was insisting upon the JUS
tlce of having the select committee for
which his resolution calls, appointed by
ballot, he took occasion to allude to a
scene that occurred in the notorious
Investigating Committee oflasj session.
as illustrating the impropriety ofhaving
a committee appointed by the Chair.
lie was very severe in his remarks up
on Mr.. Pearce, one of its members.
The scene as sketched by Mr.. Wise
was certainly extraordinary, and dis
creditable to the American Congress.
Mr.. Gholson of ofMississippi, who. ac-
cording to many, frequently comments
: upon Mr.. Wise's remarks in a very
pointed manner, as though intending to
annoy him, passed some structures ON
the manner in which Mr.. Wise had
portrayed the conduct of the Investi-
eating Committee, declaring that the
scenes in it were disgracefuI to the
House, the Committee and the Nation
Mr. Wise to-day alluded to Gholson's
remarks, saying that he took none of
that gentleman's structures to himself
as being Chairman of the Committee.
SAID ne, "if any one says that |, or nv
trlsnd (Bahe Peyton, then also a mem.
berO have incurred any disgrace bv ifs

Every one knew that this was meant

remarks upon the Committee might he
taken personally by Mr.. Wise if he
choose; dlsclaiming any assertion that
Mr.. Peyton had incurred disgrace

Mr.. PRENTISS, SPEECH.

On Saturday last, the Hon. S. S. Prem
tlss, ss,addressed large number ofthe citi.
zens of Lowndes county. The day, as
well as the one previous, was very raj
ny, and hundreds of our country friends
were unable to be present. OF the
speech we cannot praise it in too high
terms. The brilliant flashes of wit and
eloquence, with which it abounded,
kept the audience as it were SPELL
bound; and the able and mastery
manner with which he exhibited the
ruinous measures of the last and pre-
sent administration ofthe General Co
vernment-the complete humbuggery
and the danger of the Sub-Treasury
scheme, and the lucid manner in which
he exhibited the advantages of a Ma
tional Bank at this time in restoring the
currency to its former sound state,
were such as to convince the hearer,
| that Mr.. Prentiss was correct in his
views, and that such a man would be
the ornament and pride of Mississippi
in Congress. We have no time
to say more on the subject of his
speech in our paper to-day. We may,
