more To say OF this in my morning letter
He was called upon 10 dispute with fearful odds
For the air OF the gentleman yesterday showed
that be thought himself the Sir Oracle OF the Sen
ate Is it for wha, have done here that he has
poured out his seven walls Of wrath on my devoted
head 7
the Honorable Senator has any sour feelings
from the past, and no bow of promise for the future
| would advise him to keep his temper and not 10
abuse humble individuals like myself.
He thought the Nation bad right to complain.
That the Senator had made him the butt OF his wrath
and of his tremendous sarcasm 1t is painful 10 be
held up to ridicule, particularly by him.
He then took up the assertion OF Mr.. Webster
about the sale of his mir Dickinsonsl suggested
work on Truth, works OF Punch, &c. which was re-
ceivel with great laughter.

but said that the speeches sent To Broome County
would ell barn, and poor fodder too. How keen
the wit how gOdiike the conception (Laughter

Washington treaty in several respec,s-including
the Caroline affair-and that OF Mcleod. II was

Regiment Bill, several speeches were made but no
determination mad upon il. The lateness OF the
Senates adjournment leaves little time to write.
