These remarks drew out a repetition
OF former discussions upon the neccss;.
~ OF compromising the questions in ae-
itntion. in the course of which NJ.
Foot tr'umphantly announced the de.
feat. death, burial, md determination Of
Free Soilism, and predicts tho speedy
settlement Of all the controvcr,ed uucs.
tons OF the day, and the overthrow and
destruction Of demagocucs by thousands.
Mr.. Hale, of New Hampshire. respon.

his sincere thanks to Mr. Footc. for hay.
ing come out fairly and squarcly. and de-
clared that he would not 20 for this moa.
ure, if he supposed it would add a foa Of
free soil.
Mr. Dawson went into castigation Of
MIR Hale, intimating that he had mounted
the Free Soil hobby for intcsestcd purpc
scs, and reading from letter published
several years ago, by Rev. Mr.. Storcr. in
a paper called the Star, for the purpose Of
showing that MIR Hale at that time took
decided ground against abclitionism $50.
The letter states that Mr.. Hale, at the
close OF an address by Mr.. Storcr, arose
and denounced aboli,icnism in no meas
urcd terms, as well as declared blacks to
he beasts in human form, unfit TO 1.-Two
irec. lie also read an editorial from tho
Dover On. III. Gazette. which, he init.
mated, was then under the control of Mr.
Hale, in which, also, the aboGt;onst. arc
handled with severity, and an abolition
lecturer, named Thompson, is threatened
with a law found inside of pine and ont
side of goose or. in other terms. a Goa.
OF tar and feathers. Mr. Dawson thought
the position taken by Mr. Hale at that
time, honorable, creditablc, and worthy
of the good heart which no knew he pos
sesscd. He only alluded to this history
now for the purpose Of suggesting TO tho
Senator that having once held such views.
and changed lis own sentiments, he should
have more consideration and charity for
those who then thought with him and
whose views had not changed. A.,
MIR Hale admitted tho general accuracy
OF the statement made by the Rev. Mr..
Storcr, and that within fifteen years his
sentiments had changed, and proceeded
TO defend himself with considerable force
against the aspersions upon his course.
After which tho Senate adjourned.
