Mt Dickinson here took pinch Of snuff from Mr..

NJ. WEBSTER then tried TO enlighten Mr.. CAss,

Some of the criticisms Of Nj DICKINSON on Mr.
WEBsTEas speech, were exceedingly silly Ia re-
ferring TO Mr.. WEBsTERs expression that. when be
found the Negotiation, It was as pretty piece Of
Diplomatic com pcaiion any would wish 10

srER did not ell what Summer. or wha; day in the
Sumner il appeared so. This is absolutely pet
" fair specimen OF Mr.. DIcKIssoS's whole rejoinder
Mr. DfcKISsoS stated thai Mr.. Van Buren, could
be excused for not demanding repara,on from Eng
land for the burning Of the Caroline, because it
could not be done in day.
Mr. WEBSTER said that 1t occurred rear the com
mencement of Mr. Van Burcn's administration. and
he thought it might have been settled in less than
over three years, during which, he was in power
after il occurred.
Mr. DICKINSON went on to excuse Mr. Y al Buren,.
Il occurred in Dec ls35.
Mr. WEBSTER suggested Dec 1887
Mr. DICKINSON said the Senator is mistaken, or
| am.
Mr. WEBSTER said, that is pretty evident
Mr. Dickinson, looking round. and finding no.
body to second l-37, said that it 1887, but thai
was only small mistake.

Mr.. DIcKISsoS said that he saw that The Senator
was thankful for small tavors.
Yes. said Mr. WEBSTER, from q small quarter.
Mr. Dckinson's fairness will be seen from this.
He excuses Mr. Van Buren, for not acting in nearly
four years for want OF time TO carry pond
euce. and yet accuses Gen. Harrisons cabinet for
settling in the four reeks which that President
lived or in the short time Mr.. Webster held on 10

Mr. Dickinson then proceeded 20 examine ano
Their point He said that Mr.. WEBsrERs letter TO
Gov SEWARD. about Mcleod. was dated March Il,
while Mr.. Foxs letter on the same subject was
dated the 18th or 18th OF The same month. After
drawing grea, many deductions from those dates,
tie said they proved among other things. that the
Secretary was more attentive the interest o. Brit
i-h subjects than 10 the welfare of American ci;i
zcns.
Mr. WEBSTER, jumping 10 his seat and mis- eyes
burning keyoung suns, asked w hat does the Sc
major say
DICKINSON seemed 10 look unGeT MS desk lOr
a hole through which TO escape to the next floor.
Sir. said MIR. WEBSTER, l ask the gentleman 10
repeat that assertion.
Mr. DICKINSON suffered out some, thing, but
seemed TO swallow his own words, and refused 10
cast them up again.
Sir. said Mr.. WEBSTER, addressing the Chair, |
demand that the Senator repeat that assertion, |
and ask that the Secretary take it down. un-
dcrs,and him to say that preferred another coun
Try TO my own, and want 10 see if he will dare 10
repeat ii, that his words may be taken down.
The Chair said that the language was applied TO
he Secretary not 10 the Senator, and under this mis-
,rable pretext the accuser crawled Oft and Mr. |
ebs,er with look of disgust and disdain for such
,owardly insnuations, sat down. Had the language
1een repeated there would have been such re
.ponse from Mr.. WEBSTER as would have excelled |
any thing he ever uttered. The shrinking OF theec-
,user robbed the world Of one of its richest gems of
,loquence.
But what threw the accusations into such utter
was the fact which Mr.. Dickinson had ,
o acknowledge before the whole Senate. that the
late which he took from the Union, and which was
he llth, should have been, and was, in the original
he 18th, and Mr.. DICKINSON was forced publicly 10
say. The differences drawn from the dates, of
course. all fail 10 the ground.
