Gentlemen: At ten O'Clock on yes, srday, the
galleries and 'ohbes OF the House OF Representa-
tlves were ,hronscd with brilliant ass,mhlage Of
ladies' end an esger crowd OF gentlemen, to witness
the reply of MIR Marshall OF Kentucky, to the
speech Of Mr. Wise, delivered on Saturday. when
Mr. Marshal rose, he appealed to MIR Turney, the
Loco Foco member fiom Tennessee, who had made
the motion to strike out the eaactns clause of the
bill before the committee, as described in my last
letter, to withdraw It, with the view, no doubt, that
he might nave The same opportunity OF discussion
which had been afforded TO Mr. Wise But will
you credit It when | say he rcfuscdl What higher
compliment could have been paid 70 the genius OF
Mr. Marsha.l} They were afraid him. and hence
they refused to let hum have the same time which
had been allowed to Mr. Wise. Mr. Turney, turn
Ing deaf ear 10 the eutreates Of Mr. Marshall. he
vas compelled to crowd his reply To MIR wise's two
hours speech into one. am happy, however, to
say that MIR Wise was no party to this you
may I'll. up the hidtUS as you choose. MIR Wise was
willing aud anxious that Ms NJ. should have n fair
chance.
