II is so seldom that the South receives justice

North, that when one from tina! section has the
boldness and patriotism 10 maintain proper

the guarantees Of the Constitution in defiance
of the known wishes of bis constituents to

ment in California, we'll deserved the thanks Of
every Soulherner, for his noble and manly de.
fence Of Southern rgbfs-and for the timely
and severe rebuke hs administered 10 the agi.
ta,ors of The North.
His speech was one Of the ablest Of the

fine imagery, and withering sarcasm, and above
all, for honest devotion to the Constitution, and
a fearless advocacy Of its guarantees, it marks
him, one of the first orators and purest states.

dose 10 bis constituents. whose agitations en-.
dangered The existence Of our glorious Union,
and their restless jealousy was reubked with
just Indignation and severity when he said

blessings with which he was laden, because
Mordeca the Jew was permitted TO sit at the

whom all these blessings avail nothing. so long
as portion OF the States continue, under the
guarantees Of The Constitution, that which ex.

There is vein Of withering rebuke running
through the whole speech up"n his colleague.

the South, and the lash of sarcasm 10 piled
severely upon him for bis course in reference
to The question under discussion. No stroke Of
