upon two absent gentlemen, and who, -
Senators, were entitled to Senatorial couyt-

nor myself thought it right to suffer such an
attack to pass with impuaity: but We did
not think, the floor Of the Senate the proper
place for replying to an attack made out OF
doors. The forum of our respective States

attention should not be raised by controver-

Of "defsetSOn" meant, and then carried the
war INTO Africa. He, charged him with his
designs against the Union for. twenty years
past, and supported what he said By an ar
ray of facts which could neither be ex-
planned away nor denied. That address Of
Houston's should be repnblished by the

This Is one of INV personal reasons for dwell

will now state. In the year 1874, as it will be
rendered, when my fifth election was coming
round there was an organization against me in
the State, supported by every Calhoun man, and
every Calhoun newspaper in the State, and IN
the United States. There was . condolences
