-, of MIR. Foote has not been changed

Ne aIwars read what Mr.. Foote says, upon the

nose Of amusement The latest display MIR.
Foote has made was in a debate upon mo-

I'll IF NJ. Foote'S oppositiion. The great and
d;stinct;xa element Of Mr.. Foote'S greatness is
impudence. of that kind vulgarly called brass.
HIS morals are all graded (degraded) upon the
NIississipni basis, which rcpudiates the old
fs,hioncd notions of debt paving, and embraces
the more convenient one of never paying.
In his speech on the Ten Regiment Bill, he
undertook TO demonstrate that it was perfectly
right and proper for this nation to steal as
much CT Mexico as ii pleased, because Mexico
WIS too weak to successfully resist And in
the debate upon Mr.. Hale's notion in the Sem
ate. on the 20th instant, Mr.. Foote gives his
views upon mob or Lynch law, which he OPEN
" endorses and defends. lie doubtless be-
leves that he would be unworthy to represent
such thigh spirited and gallant State if he
did no: fully sccord with the wisdom and jus
flee of this part OF her Judiciary system. We
quote from the Daily Union. Speaking of
Mr. Hale, Mr.. Foote SAYS =
If he really wishes glory, and to be regard
cd as the great iberator Of the blacks-if he
wishes to be particularly distinguished in this
cause of emancipation, as it IS caled-let him,
instead of remgning here in the Senate of the
United States, or instead of secreting himself

lie may possibly escape theSust Indignation Of

Like Ic'i .4ndre, IN Quentin Durward, whom
l5y the way he strongly resembles, nothing
would give HIM SO great pleasure Is to have :;

The SenRte will soon lose that hold which j.

the nation, if such champions ofmob violence

RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY.-Th,
following is an extract from letter from
the City of Mexico, dated March Both, il
the New Orleans Crescent:
There is all acknowledgment in the
Monitor, of the Withdrawal of few Dep
utles from Queretaro, who have stated
that they will not return, and give as theiI
reason, that they do not wish TO vote fnI
peace. If this is so, and the Monitor is
very good authority, ii argues to me that
breach will open between the members
. Of Congress that it will be difficult for Pens
and Rosa 70 heal. The withdrawal o.
one or two members, und such pretext
will open the road for others 70 bolt; and
as those who have retired urged patriotism
as the incentive TO the act, | much fear il
will be caught at by many others who
have been searching for some excuse TO e.
wade vote on the questions Of peace ol
war. With the masses, peace is not ovel
popular, Notwithstanding the well-informec
people are so anxious for it; and it is the
masses that these Deputies fear; and Sc
fearing them, many of them will catch a
any excuse to avoid an expression on thu
issue"
