THE SPEAKING ON WEDNESDAY
Messrs Foote and Davis, locofoco electors
were with US on Wednesday last. The
former gertle man opened the discussion IN
a speech of some two hours and halt.
made up Of the most scurrilous abuse of the
Wing party. He even proceeded so far as
TO charge the wings and especially Mr.
Clay, with favoring the views Of The Nor,
them Abolilionists. aud abetting their ef-
forts TO undermine ouI domestic institutions
He charged IAe wings win being faction
destitute of any principles and walring only
with the hope of spois. He omitted entire
ly to notice the tariff. Bank, distribution and
other measures OF the whig party. and occ u.
pied most of his time in detail o. Mexican
and Texas history. We will concede that
he fully understands the history of the lat
ter country. but he signaIly failed in pro-
wing either the necessity for, or the justice OF,
its annexation to our Union We have not
heard more than one loco who did not ex
press disappointment N the gen!leman's Ell
fort. All expected to hear an eloquent spea-
ker and able debateI. but were disappointed
in both.
Mr.. Walter replied to Gen. Foote. in
short, but able and argumenlative speech
He showed how the tariff tended TO reduce
the price of goods, and convinced all, that
facts could convince, of the absolute necess-
ty of Tariff. TO protect American labor
from the pauper labor of Europe
After Mr.. Walter had concluded, Mr.
Davis, locofoco elector, made a speech oi
one and a half or two hours length. which
was entirely clear ofthe abusive epithe.s SO
literally heaped upon the wings by most
of the loud-mouthed speakers of the locofo-
CO party.

Mr.. EDITOR Il occasionally meet an
old associate in the doctrines ofnul ification,
who e.deavor. (vainly) to persuade me that
mY advocacy of the claims of FL. Clay is
inconsistent with old espoused principles,
while they eulogise the pretensions of Mr..
Polk. 1t is very strange they are not dis
posed to reflect upon Inconsistencies in
themselves; but like the man IN the log.
they believe every one surrounded by dark

a gauntlet throucm out) how it happens that

advocates of the Proclamation and Force
Bill, and themselves, are so Intimately con-

for consistency Have they forgotten that
