Scraps from History.

We are not the first have fallen under the proscrp
tive ban of the Senate. The hand that has lifted
the axe for immoaton, raised in 1882, against
one of the purest and best in the land; then the
representative of his country at foreign court and al
ways its ornament and PRIDE whether at home or abroad
Not his eminent public services in the councils of his
tive State and Of the natonno his unsullied purity
patriot, his distinguished powers staesman-no
the excellence of his private life, the brancy of his
public careernot his consistent devotion to the great
truths of repubcanism, his answering loyalty to
the Unon--nor his regard for the rights of the
South-not all combined, could exempt him from the
fiery tempest OF luminosity and ambition By the fiat
(the casting vote) of single man-that (and we
deepv regret it, the same who has assisted in this paly
crusade against ourselves--ths patriot recalled
from his foreign MISSION and passion Haunted itself
in the fact that it had impaed and crucied an OPP
ponent.
Little however did the senatorial umpire suspect that
the mark OF his vengeance, instead of resulting in the
destruction of his victim would prove and speedy
passport to popular favor Little did the opponent
imagine that the hated would be elevated above
and beyond him. Little did the reecter dream that the
ected would so soon become the of the build
ing Little did the digger of the pit anticipate that he
himself to fall therein Looking only the imme-
date immoation of victim, such was the phrenzy of
the execuoner, that he paused to inquire
whether it might not be his neck that graced the
block
Another senatorial anathema whicd the same hand
now raised against us, helped the then Federal
leader TO launch, crowds into our remembrance. Even
the hero OF New Oreans-who had pered his
life in defence of his country, and who whether
in vanqushng foreign, or detecno q domesfjc suerou
was alike successfu-did not escape it. Even against
him-the terrible in battle and the wise in council-was
the hand that has condescended to strike at u.s. upfed
He was pronounced, by the deliberate and recorded udg
ment of the Senate surper and Uoiator of the con-
stituon of his country Most short-sighed and impo
tent persecution
Where, now, are the fruits of that disgraceul drama
