The. Senator informs us that he has VlcariousIy
suffered for the South monstrous fage!iations by
the tionsts-a,ta that he has endured TINS as
rstrabation for fercely assailing each and every
,of1hem whom he has encountered Buthas he NOT

: AIR. CaLuoUN-sB But as things now stand, ap-
apeal to the Senator from Mississippi, if he thinks
aWe. can remain in the Union on terms of equal
aity?"
MIR. FoorE-a We cannot, unless the question
ssettled, but in my opinion, the question may be
asettled, and honorably settled in less than ten
"day' 81 time"
Has it been settled Are not things worse than
they were! Can we, however, remain IN the
Union on. terms of equality! If he who thinks
wecannot remain in the Union be a traitor, men,
Nj Senator, you were, one on the 9th OF March,
1850. When and what new lights have broken
in on you?
Blu, It appears that the Senator, while reading
reoort of nv speech which lie has honored lh 50
MANY complimentary phrases, was greatly distress.
ed TO thiuk that he had never heard of the person,
or imagined that there might be some ono of the
precise name of him, wi ON Mr. Foote was endeav
orpg to render as absurd as himself. Well IN this
have the advantage of the Senator have heard
of him before now, aud have known him at least
in his public character, since he has been honored
by the State of Mississippi Perhaps it would be
wellfor Mr. Foote if he could be twItted with his
obscnrty, but he is in no such danger. He has
wide uotoriety. Iie has been too long the horn-
blower TO the several drivers of the late omnibus,
not 10 have had the whole country 10 enquire and
learn who made all that noise. Surely it would
be very needless now to enquire who this NOISY
Senator is. This very peculiar, and udlcrous
specimen of tbe genus homo. believe no nat
nra]st has written about il, but M soltaire audes
to The singular cress between the Monkey and
Tiger.
From his own account Faaguier County Va, has
the honor Of being his birth place. have great
reverence for Virginia. and is itpossbie that Sena-
tors Mason, Hunter aud Fnota are ol the same ma:
terni,y but snch things do sometimes happen.
remember that about the tne of The famous pistol
scene in the Senate, when The retou,able Senator
fI believe he is General too-he is certainly
very great; Siraienist) was adranciig by parallel
movements on bis adversary. heard his nativity
much discussed. and, Judging iron the evidence
furnished BY his vocabulary. it was concluded that
whereyershe was bern, he must surely have been
reared FROM aan aims basket ef refuse words.
Think the Senator may we'll calculate on his fame
for il he should Hail 1. reach remote posie e-i,y
through the richety contriyance OF his dlsJoIn ed
and uinbefea omnibus, he will no s,:onbt lind his
way through the history of those braPis by which
he has 40 much graced aid elevated the character
of the Senate of the Union.
Ihaye observed that The condescend,ng person
who bias given h,e a senatorial noOrlety IS some
times called General Fools shall not question his
military excelience; tho greater i be- the more
shall hope, that, Case mems souls are 10 be tried

recently illustrated both propositions; tho the lat

And now gentlemen, you will allow me for your
information, as well as my own account, to say
that the people OF South Carolina are not dsunion-
lists in any. proper sense Of the term. They are
willing 10 peril for the constitution, and 10 stand
by the Union under il. Nay srs, fol. myself, aud
believe it is The sentiment Of my co,mtrymen,
am wiIIipg to sacrifice much of every thing save
honor, to have tie aistracting questions that dis
tufb. the country. settled with permanent safety
and honor to the South. But we regard suine
things as worse than dsunion, we may have high
and difficult duties TO- peIffrm, we trust that the
necessity may not come, or coming may pass away,
but should it not then We trust that the entire
South is ready without hnching to discharge those
duties. Most respectfully
f'''y your ob't sery't.
