CASE OF LIEUTENANT HOOE.

Mr.. Tallaferro were prompted in the cours
they have pursued by a regard to the loci
laws or personal rights Of the South, whic
they maintain have been violated in th
person of Lieutenant Hooe.
1t was intended to answer the purpose O
political calumny and misrepresentation
and having attained their object, these faith

attempt to settle the question they hav,
themselves raised, would place them at ISSUE
(: witir their friends and allies, the Abolitionists
are now voting with that faction to smothe
all further proceedings on the subject, in tn.
hope that, having now made all the use they
ever intended TO make oft, the whole sub

sion may ariset make it again the subject
of an attack on the President.
But we are determined the subject shall
not drop thus into the grave. We are de-

South shall see: the conduct of these pretend.

true colors. and for this purpose now pro.

IafIon to this matter.
On that occasion Mr.. Chapman Of Alabama
offered the following resolution:
"ReSofred, That the committee on the
Judiciary, TO which was referred the case of
Lieutenant Hooe, be required TO report forth
with to this House who are legal witnesses
under the existing laws. before courts martial
in the navy of the United States; and furth-

ed as witness in trials before such courts"
Mr.. Mitchell, the member from New York
who signalized himself so greatly in the
negotiation for securing the profits of the
public printing to the National Intelligencer.
objected. Mr. Chapman. moved a suspension
Of the rules. and demanded the yeas and
nays. "He was determined" he said, ..o
press the matter home, now it was begun.
and to bring other gentlemen TO the bull.
ring" A call of the House was ordered.
and the question then recurring on the mo-
ton to suspend the rules for the purpose of
submitting the resolution, was decided by
yeas and nays, as follows-yeas 100, nays
Will not the good people of Virginia and
the South take it for granted that their great
champions, Messrs Bolts and Taliaferro, vo-
ted with those who were DESTROYS of bring.
ing the question involved in the case of Lieu.
tenant Hooe, to a speedy issue? That they
would press the subject on the House, and
distinguish themselves above all others, in a
cause of which they have affected to be the
leadersi But no such thing. Among the
opponents Of Mr.. C~hapman's resolution, side
BY side, in loving communion, we find Messrs
Bolts and 'Taliaferro voting with Messrs
Gates, !. c. Clark, Evans. Hunt, Calhoun
of Massachusetts, and the rest of the most
confirmed and rancorous enemies to the in
stitutions of the South.
Yes! there they are. their names cheek by
jcwl by the side of the Abolition leaders, and
reinforced by all the rabid Wings, among whom
we hnd those apt personifications Of the feel.
lngs and interests Of the South. who are
identified with a faction aiming at the over.
throw of their Institutions.
Messrs. Bolts and Taliaferro, the booted,
belted, spurred champions of the South, The
in denouncing the evil, are seen
among the foremost in opposing the remedy.
ihey voted IN conjunction with the Adolf
ton leaders against snspending the rules to
pass the resolution of Mr.. Chapman-"That

required TO report Dho are the legal w,tness.

Here the question is freely presented, and
he issue met in the very teeth. Will not

Messrs Bolts and Taliaferro as foremost in e

1t will be seen in yesterdays proceedings. d
wen in. another colun, that Mr.. CHAIRMAN g
! Alabama put Mr.. Bolts and his northern o
nd Southern Federal friends to another e
eyere test. He proposed to exclude by law
