4 difficulty arose Yesterday in front OF the
Intelliccnccr office between SclE,tor footc and

subject. Mr.. Footc dropped few words about
"scryile followers" of Mr. Calhoun, which Mr..

moment the blow was struck, perceived himself
the extreme impropricty and ungcncronsne>s OF
his conduct, and apologizcd for it sincc in a
manner which alone could atone for his rash
conduct.
The occurrence is the more to be regretted,

in one of the liberty conventions, declaring that
every person who took an oath to support the

Webstcr's views are highly approved by all the
