This gentleman belongs to the party who hold
as one Of their cardinal principles the obedience Of
the Representative to the opinions Of his consti.
tuents II is fair to Judge him by his own stand
ard, to Try him in his own tribunal and by his owr
iavorts principles. The great majority Of the PEG
pie Of this State are in favor Of the Compromise
Ofthis fact we think no reasonable man can doubt
Not single paper has taken sides against it The

Mr.. Soule from his solitary shirt, to his eloquen
peroration, has not openly approved Of his oppos
ton to that measure while the other presses
have expressed dsapproval Of his course, and com
mended the conduct Of his colleague. Is Mr.. Soule
a faithful representative, according to his own
creed Does his series Of votes against the Com
PROMISE represent the views and express the wishes
of Louisiana? If so, Mr.. Downs betrayed his
trust, tor he voted in direct opposition to MI
Soule throughout. We concetSe to Mr. Soule SUI
perior oratorical and theatrical powers Before
French jury Of his own selection, in criminal case
he is unrivalled. As civilian, he is highly res
pectable. But as an American statesman, he falls
far below the level of ordinary American politicians
The nature Of our complicated Government; the
delicate relations between the State and Federal
powers, like the dioms accent Of language, can
never be acquired by the foreigner. No two minds
are more unlike than those Of Calhoun and Soule
The American was subtle reasoner, who, if be
had directed his powers to metaphysics, woult
have produced works to rank with Kant, or Reid
or Stewart He never INDUCED smile, or an
illustration. His speeches are among the best spe
cimens Of severe logic in the language.
The Frenchman on the other hand, deals in finery
and splendor. His speeches remind one of fancy
shop IN Ohartres street, gltterng but gllded, very
pretty and very cheap. 1t is beautiful defamation
not close reasoning. He is familiar with the com
mentaries on the French Codes he is not master o
