The Madisonian. (Canton, Miss.) 1850-1855, 1850-10-31

which you tricked him out. He views
things from a dizzy hight. The Vice
Presidency begins TO loom up before his
Imagination. Already lie contemplates
attaching himself 10 Clay or cass-those
ancient petitioners upon the Federal trea-
sury-as a yawl to asteamboat. lfbe can
thus manage, by his mountebank tricks, to
clutch the second Office IN the gift of the
people, he will have no further use for Mis-
sissipPi. lie would glory in his treason TO
you, if his allegiance to Clay or Cass ena-
bles hin to preside over that body, which
he has SO often disgraced. But, thank
God, Gea. Foote is in the condition Of
that crazy German, who sold himself to the
devil and failed TO get the price. He stands
about as much chance Of reaching the
Vice Presidency, as his satanic majesty
does Of reaching the New Jerusalem.
The atmosphere of Washington has pro-
duced many strange effects, since it has
been the seat Of government; but none
more remarkable than that which has been
effected in the case Of General Foote. He
has become a perfect Rip Van Winkle.-
He has walked up under the wrong regime.
He seems ignorant of the fact, thatgrass is
growing over the political graves of Clay
and Cass; so lar at least as we ofthe South
are concerned. He appears not to know
that Yankee misrule, Yankee purposes,
Yankee frauds, aud Yankee inroads upon
our rights, have obliterated all party dis
tinctions among us-tbat whiggery and de
mocracy are now unmeaning terms. He
talks to US as aippantIy about Caes, as if
this were AS, instead Of 80. We have
long since forgotten the Jesuitical authrr Of
the Nicholson letter. AS he has, in his
own elegant phraseology, been struck with
judicial blindness, and gone after the flesh
pots of Egypt, we have no further use for
him. And let me inform our Senator,
that if we are not righted before the next
Presidential election, the man who acts as
tail to Clay OF Cass must go into other re-
gions for support, far North of this. We
wash our hands of and detach ourselves
from all pensioners on the Tfeasury-all
train. bands, and Swiss guards.
Fellow citizens, it is really marvellous to
sce,how a few trips to Washington city has
turned Foot's head? There is arhodomon-
tade 10 his speech, a certain afecta4ion OF
m~agnifcence In his bearing, a wrapping
up in the robes Of Senatorial dignity,
and a kind of boxing down on men as
if on meaner things OF earth. What
is the meaning Of all this? Upon
what meats doth this our Cesar feed, that
he has grown SO great?" lie has found
foreign cooks, and has grown fat on the
praises Of the pfess-gang at the North!-
There is his h%eart--there is his treasure
there are his hopes of future preferment.
He is evidently ashamed Of you, of your
swamps, o your obscure valleys, OF your
cotton fields, your humble dwellings and
your negroes! He thinks you beyond the
pale Of civilization. From the marvellous
accounts he gives Of himself, he certainly
don't know that the newspapers reach you.
He don't know you read of n%ights-that
while he is haunting levees and dancing at.
tendence in " the perfumed chambers Of
the great" carrying on his extended cor
respondence in the Northern cities, his
constituents iii you be SUCH are and have
been constantly engaged for the last two
years in weighing, examining, critically
analising his every act, word, quirk, and
turn, so far as the chroniclers of Washing
ton have noted them or given them to the
world. Let no member Of Congress put
the Aattering JUNCTION tohis soul, that he
can vote one way and speak another, and
escape detection here. Let him not hope
that Boosting Of his high associations and
the cloud Of perfumes and aattery, which
The fashionable rabble and genteel vaga-
bonds Of the northern cities have showered
upon him,is to weigh a leather with'the free
men otthe south. Gen ,Foote has already had
his reward. The Northern press, from the
Boston Courier to tho Cincinnati Gazette,
have given his name to all the Immortality
they can bestow; and his lludations have
been sung from Maine to Illinois. Lcthim
not be to yoracious OF immortal embalming.
Having reaped all the laurels over the
whole field of a national reputation, he
ought to be content. Let him not come
to Mississippi, and hope 10 add your prais-
es to those, which have been showered
upon him for betraying you. Let him not
add insult to injury; nor expect to argue
