Mr.. Senator Foote, of Miss. on the 9th instant,
alluded the late antiwer and ant-American letter
of Judge Mclean in the following justly severe
style:
Sir, one of the judges of the supreme court has
lately taken il upon HIMSELF whilst the country was
engaged In with neighboring nation, TO
throw the whole weight of his personal character
and official influence against his own government,
and in favor of the public enemy. He has declared
the war with Mexico UNJUST cruel and unchrlstlan.
He has done more; he has undertaken to dictate to
Congress to the Legislation proper to be adopted in
relation to this war and has recommended measures
such would have disgraced the nation, and which
no friend to his country in either house of Con-
gress could ever have sanctioned. He has urged that
no supplies should be granted for the support OF our
army in Mexico-that no authority should be given
to Congress for the issuance of treasury notes,
that the government might be compelled, it the war
should be continued, to resort to the most grinding
taxation and thus by the influence of serious suffer-
ing upon our people, TO consran them to demand OF
the President the recall of brave troops from
Mexico, and the termination of the war, without such
indemnify for the past and security for the future
alone the national honor. Sir, have
words strong enough to express the contempt which
feel for such sentiments this judicial func;ionary
has dared to avow. | know not which most to
denim, the unpatriOtic views which he has promuged,
bis unbushing audacity in attempting TO dictate to
Congress the proper be pursued at this
delicate and difficult juncture of our affairs. 1t is
certain that he has been guilty of high offence
against public decency-that he has expressed senti
ments which, if acted out, would consign him to the
scafold traitor to his country-that he has soil
ed. and deeply soiled, the pure ermine OF justice,
with which he stands invested-that he has shown
himself anything but true American in heart and
a wretched deyotee TO faction in its worst and most
accused form. will not say that his conduct has
been precisely bad that of the notorious Arnold;
but do say that public councils have been pro-
famed by nsidous harangues that Lucius Catalina
himself would have been ashamed TO pronounce; and
the high tribunal where a Marshall was once
seen to preside with a majestic dignity which
knowedged no affinity with the low feeling of parti-
warfare, mas been discredited by presidency
seeking official. that neither gentleman patriot
consent hereafter to be elevated to the nobest and
sacred Office in the republic. without feeling that
he is dsgraced even by the attempt to advance him.

in which Mr.. Clay has been placed BY his friends in
relation to the pending canvass for the presidency,
will unavoidably attach too much of partisan char
acter to your festival TO permit me to participate in
it consistently with my views of propriety. The rule

duce me TO decline an Invitation given under like cir
cumstances by my political friends.
do not, however, regret that your politeness has
made 1t proper for me to say, that you do no more
than justice to my feelings in assuming that appre-
cate they deserve the commanding talent and
ly frankness which have often been displayed by
your distinguished friend in the councils of the

to recognize those characteristics in political oppo
nent. To you who understand the matter, it would be
superfuous to speak of the very wide difference Of
opinion which for many years existed, and does
still exist, between Mr.. Clay and myself, in regard
to almost every political question. But fortu-
nately too liberal to suffer such differences TO affect
inuriously personal relations. II would essen

opposed to me. To embitter the few enjoyments
which public life affords by indulgence in sentl-
ment contracted and ilberal, is a weakness which
it is my happiness to believe have been free from
as the inrmities of nature will permit. My personal
