Ehe Hon. MIR. Clin.man.

This is tie celebrated gentleman, who
not only voted with John Q Adams for
The abolition of the rule which prohibited
me reception of abolition petitions i'll I'll"
House of Representatives. hu; actually
made speech in favor of said abolition
at the last session of Congress. And he.
too. representative of avehoding North
Carolina !! Well, this same said Mr.
Cllngman, some days ago. being, as we
supposed, overcharged with genius and
-- steam, got up to make speech ON
the Texas question, but instead of so do
ing, he consumed his hour the time allow
ed for speaking, by the rules of The House)
in foul and abusive TRADE against the
Democratic party, East, West, North and
Soulh-about the election frauds Which
the Democrats rarIised-lhe lies they told
the votes they manufactured. &c, not
forgetting to lug in the Onsl"w'' affair,
When he got through, Mr.. Yancey OBJ
tanned the floor. The way Mr.. Yancey
excorlated the hero of the western re-
serve,' was curious. How we should like
to have heard it. We give that portion OF
Mr.. Yancey's remarks, which were drec.
ted to the gentleman from North Caro-.
lma.' We know our readers will peruse
them with interest. We learn from our
exchange papers, that Mr.. Clngman thinks
the remarks personal, and has called for an
explanation.
The correspondent of the Charleston
Courier says. that both of these gentlemen
had taken the cars at Washington. for Bal
'lmore. with view TO fight duel. We
don't know. but we predict there will be
no "powder burnt The following is
the extract of the speech:
We form our estimate sir, of persons We
nave never seen; and [ was not, therefore
astonlshed at this expose of the head and hear
OF the representative from North Carolina
In the country represent, he is looked upor
as' 6etrayer of the trust reposed in his hands
bnt DO confess to some establishment, when
heard that representative eXulting in his tri.
umph over those brother representatives from
the South, whose most strenuous efforts could
not retain the 25th rule, and attributing TO hei,
SILENCE on its repeal motives which every hon.
orable man among them spurns with scorn
and which could only have found prompting
In the heart of one who had given a stab tc
the institutions of his own land, and wears
The garb OF It's enemy. Such an exuiting cry
over our failure to retain one barrier erected
Tor the preservation of our property and insti.
tntions, is an insult to US in our defeat, which
merits the scorn and execration of every hon.
est heart In the South. And even with the
estimate of that representative which had,
was somewhat surprised to hear him re-
count, with such apparent glee, what he term
ed the dishonesty of the Senate of North Car
DINA. Upon the merits of the case can pass
no verdict. But if it was as represe.. ted,
would not truly honorable heart and high
toned intellect, have. shrunk from dragging
unnecessarily, and with such apparent gnsto,
the disgrace of his native State, which he in
part represented, before the assembled wis

deer OF the West, will turn and gore woun-
ded companion to death. But it is brutal
instinct; and man shrinks from LAYING bare
the fallings Of his family. And what does
such conduct deserve? will not determine,

reads such book) to that portion of the BIZ
