oroanization of his proposed meeting OF 'nir-
teen members, to settle all aei's''hs que'
,ion,. After passing an eulogium upon MI
Calhoun he read that portion OF that Seaa'o'
.,secb. in which he alluded TO some amend
want of the constitution restoring TO the South
=. equilibrium as necessary to the settlement
of The question. He denied that sucn al
amendment would be Indispensable 10 such
..,lement. He had desired 10 settle these
agitating questions at once, and not 10 wai'
an amendment of the constitution for that
,,rnose. He had thought that the strong
Ground of the South was, that she asks no'h-
inu but what the constitution gives her-ou'
here was proposition not to MAINTAIN wna'
oh, Sopth has under the constitution as II is,
hu, what she would have If that instrument
be amended in particular way
MIR. Calhoun here entered the Senate
chamber and took his seat.
Mr.. Foote proceeded with some remarks
in reply 10 Mr.. Calhoun's attack upon the
North. As whole, there were IN the norm
many lovers Of the Union, who had ever ana
always would stand up in behalf OF the con-
sti,u,ional rights Of the South. Even now
The na,rio,ism of the North was being aroused
in behalf of the South and, for one, he could
no, sit in his seat and hear the language oil
general decrial in which his friend from South
Carolina indulged.
Mr. Butler said he had not understood his
colleague to state an amendment OF the Con
.,itu,ion. 1t would be sine qno non Oh d
,e,tlement He did not understand nm 10
express the opinion, that if the Union was 10
h. nernetuated, some measure ought 70 be
taken, which would give the South mol only
their rights, bu. sense OF security IN 'he
Union.
MIR. Calhoun arose, much agitated, and oo'
iected 10 Mr.. Foote'S having called up 'hiS
waiter in his absence He did not even
know what the Senator had charged MN
with. Had he charged him with diSunioh'
or intimated il?
Mr.. Foo,e explained that he had carefully
.vo;daa any intention 10 cast such imputatIon'
He repeated his first remarks, and IN concur
aim dan;ed tha, Mr. Calhoun was his leader
He stood bv and for himself. He, too, rep
resented sovereign State 1t was proper
for him 40 TO do. and he would fulfil his duty
a. such, fearlessly and without iavor' lie
would brow-beai, menace, threaten, Insult Vi
hector no man, and would allow no man to
brow.beat, menace, insult or hector HIM
u. and the Senator differed, and his (Foote's)
constituents would not sustain the Union ad-
vances made by Mr. Calhoun in the par'leu-
lar alluded TO.
Mr.. Calhoun denied that he had ever pro-
posed 10 be leader OF any man, or OF any
party. He did not profess even 10 belong 10
any party. He spoke for himself only, ana
wanted his views 10 go out to the country as
thew were in themselves. He has stated no
sine cua non, nor alluded to any ho had
said that if the Union was 10 be preserved
i, must be done by conceding to the Sou'h
her righ,s. He had said that the great OBJ
iect of his speech was to show that great dis
content prevailed at the South, and its cause
mus, be removed before peace and harmony
c,n,d be restored. He did not assume 10
name any sine qua non Of settlement, ou' ne
would saw that as things now stood, the Sou'h
could not remain with safety in the onIon'
and he appealed TO Mr.. Foote TO say whe'her
she could do so without some additional guar
.utee were given her. Could she remain
with no equality and no means OF protecting
herself.
Mr.. Foote replied, expressing his belief
tha, the South could honorabiy and safely re-
main in the Union, under compromise sucr
4. hs believed could be made in ten days
and without any amendment Of the Cons'l'u
tion.
Mr.. Calhoun admitted that the difference
wa. one of opinion, aud he denied that hi
had decried the North as mass.
MIR. Foote, (interposiug) read the passas'
in Mr.. Calhoun's speech, in which he says
"every portion of the North enteftains view
or feelings more or less hostile" lie de
sired simply to say, that he did moi agFe
with him on that point.
Mr.. Calhoun insisted upon the accuracy Q
hi. assertion. He must Judge men py thei
acts, not their professions. 1t was idle for
man to profess to love the Union, while h
failed 10 observe the Constitutional slipula
lions He referred 10 the irregular manne
in which MIR. Fsole had brought up this maj
fer as unkind.
Mr.. Foote denied any unkind feeling or ii
tenton. He had only desired to take tn
opportunity TO make the explanation DeloF
the speech Of the Senator had created an
fixed wrong impression Oh the public min'
1t surely was not unfriendly TO differ IN oplr
ion upon the controyer:ed question
