CASE or Mol.EoD.--fhe "son of Mir. Van Bite rens Secretary of State" is not the only person who disagrees with the delicate "soh" of some yankee God knows who-in his estimate of the disgrace ful concessions made by Mir. Webster to the domI- neering nsoehee of the British Governmen'. Our views upon the subject were formed solely from the perusal of the correspondence-Mr. Fox to MT Webster-the reply of the latter, and above all the degrading instructions of the latter to the Attorney General of the United States When we wrote, we had not seen single democratic comment upon the papers. We afterwards saw the comments ol the Charleston Mercury and Savannah Georgian, pro nounced Mir. Websters course satisfactory, and were amazed such opinion, particularly from the Mef- cury the most sensitive of State Rrighs papers, and the most keeny alive to the rufianism of John Bulls diplomatic policy. These views did not change our own opnion. We were soon after sustained in them by the able editor of the Evening Post, the Washing ton Globe and now by the convincing speeches of Sen ators Buchanan, Calhoun and Benton. They present some features of the in worse light even than we had supposed. Mir. Buchanan states that those in sructons to the Attorney General, so derogatory to the character and dignity of the nation, devoid of true American spirit were precipitated three days after the threatening letter of Mir. Fox, while Mir. Webster's long and able argument embeished with patriotic fourshes as salvos for American feelings, was written forty days afterwards. And thus while the substance had been conceded to Great Britain, almost on the instant of it's imperious demand, the patriotic letter fn of empty fourshes comes lagglng six weeks behind hand. Mir. Buchanan concludes his very able argument with the following paragraph We shall endeayor to lay the whole speech before our reders:
 therefore believe that the Secretary of State was as far wrong in his view of international law in his haste to appease the British Government, in the face of direct threat, by his instructions to Mr. Crtten den. The communication of those instructions to that Government, we know, had the desired effect. They went out immediately to England, and no were they known that side of the water, than in moment all was calm and tranquil The storm, DOT tending war, passed away, and tranquil peace once more ieturned and smiled over the scene. Sir, the British Government must have been hardhearted, in deed persa of those instructions did not soften them, and afford them the most ample satisfaction. This amiabe temper will be ruiied in the slightest degree by the perusa of Mir. Websters let ter to Mir. Fox within six weeks afterwards. The matter had all been virtually ended before its date.
 In the views have expressed may be wrong; but, as an American Senator without any feeling my part but such as think every Amerran Senator ought to cherish, am constrained to say that can approve of the pursued by the Secretary of State in this matter while, at the same time hope and that other occasion may arise to demand from me similar criticism the official conduct of that gentleman.
