Evidently conscious that he was fairly swamP5d
hy the difficulties OF position from which the
airenoth Of an intellectual Hercules could not
have extricated him, he connected the whole
nroceedipg with burlesque laughing more heart

MIL ending abruptly, he was upon the point OF
draining into his seat, when he discovered jnss IN
time to save himself that his aeat was gone from
behind him, when, ptr0uette1nS around malt dozen
times. like a French dancing master, or lively
dog in full chase after his own tail, he finished by
ep,ting the whole Senate in lengthy chorus aud
by converting what had come well nigh tragedy
into low comedy or a farce. Mr. WINTHROP bore
himself throughout With great dignity and at
times, in the several replies be made to the anu
sive speeches OF Southern Senators, he rose with
the sublimity OF genuine eoquence, commanding
the most profound silence, and the most interested

to reduce the debate to its more Legitimate course
it reverted into the same channel. Nj SoULE led
off in handsome speech, considering the Wretcneo
cause be had to pie ad, in mrgat OF the verdlcs
of humanity against the laws of Louisiana sho@-

regular wal over the disposition of the North 70 De
forever assautng the Institutions OF the South, and
with savage onslaught upon MIR. WINTHROP lot
having read the letter of Capt. RUNLITT az all, al
though Mr.. WINTHROP had expressly stated that
he could not personally vouch for the accuracy OF
the statements contained in it. Mr. WINTHRoPs
reply was 90 G. bcorcher.
His showing up OF the whining about the North's
assailing the institutions OF the South, when the
very point under discussion, and the only point,
was barbaroua and outrageous assault upon me
institutions of the North, the institution OF
Freedom ITSELF on the part Of the South, by selzng
and impfigoning Northern ssilors for no crime ana
selling them, as the Algerlnes we're won 10 90
into perpetual slavery, was such as 20 ieaYe 10

clauses of the Constitution had proved ialures
the one intended 10 secure 70 tho cltizens OF the
different States ell the rights and privileges OF CIT
izens of all the States, and the other Intended to
secure the surrender of fugitive slaves After the
frank avowal OF Mr. BUTLER that this is true as
respects the first branch of the statement it might
be hoped tha, complaint would cease with regard
10 the truth OF the second branch.
