while all the Fillmore submissionlsts oil the most

morning of Saturday last, and In the evening was
compietely demolished in argument and routed Dy

question, we learn was acknowledged by Mr.. Foote
himself to have been one of the best he had ever u.s.

Wednesday last. The able and eloquent NC Willie
met him. and delivered speech over two hours In
length, in which he took bold and firm ground IN IA
yor of resistance. Mr. Foote followed, and upon his
heels came Melville again, who exposed IN most
triumphant style, the absurd and conflicting positions
which, in his very scattering speech, Mr.. Foote as
srmed. Hoa franklin Smith, in style of patriotic
Indignation, completely riddled MIR. Foote, and de-
nounced him traitor to the State and desecratlng
his seat in the United States Senate.

Mr.. MELVILLE concluded his scathing attack Mr..
Foote'S next stopping place is said to be at San ia

and very much disapponts the people who expected
Mr. Foote to discuss the Southern question Win MS
colleague, Col. Jeff. Davis, as agreed upon ny mem
at Washington. We suppose that Col. Davis Is
ready to meet Mr.. Foote at any time.

MELVILLE would differ but little from Foote.
COL MELVILLE remarked that Senator Foote had

Mr.. Fillmore. He (McWillie) had no comnun 1I

Melville was sorely felt by Mr. Foote.
Hon. franklin Smith followed in speech OF gfed'
power. We understand that he denounced MI
Foote traitor, and desecratng his seat IN Tic

The people became so exasperated. in the course oil
the evening, that Mr.. Foote was hung IN engy.

and Col. Melville addressed them for about TWO
hours in an able and effective speech the slavery
question He took the ground, very distinctly ana
explicitly, that the time had come for the SCUM 10
resist. That though he was attached 10 Inc Y mon
of the Constitution the Union formed by our lore
fathers he felt no reverence for and owed no alleg
ance to Union which had ceased to secure Inc oo-
jects for which it framed, and existed only 10
Cypress the South. That he scorned the doctrines
non-resisance and passive obedience, that lie was
prepared ITO tread no step backward, that he con-
