WILLIAM H. HAYwooD's REASONS

For resgning his post in the Senate of the
United States, at the very nick of time, is given
in the Union of Tuesday night occupying eleven
columns of close print, in that paper, mostly made
up OF extracts culled from ancient and venerated
men, and wrested from the context, and made to
mean different from their known opinions---bu,
Inc most important part is the three appen-
dIces. in which all the federal testimony in his
behalf is incorporated. The only reason he has
given for his course is because the action of the
bill was not postponed until the 4th of March
next, and because lie was told the bill would PASS
without his vote. Mr.. Haywood evidently thinks
he will be heard for his much speaking"-bu,
we doubt whether he will be able TO null much
wool over peoples eyes.
