arrival of Gen. Foote and late news from

day-after Sunday day of rest very
agreeable to Senator Foote after his
stumping in his own State and fatigues
of travel-the Union City Committee
received the illustrious strangers at the
City Hall, in the midst of large con.
course of citzens-the Mayor presiding.
Ogden Hoffman (our silver voiced orator.
welco med Senators Foote and Downs in
most impressive manner. Foote's reply
is worthy Of heing handed down to pos.
terty AS an example of American oratory.
How true it is that great occasions and
opportunities develop the man. Foote
always knew he had it in him (as Sheri-
dan used to say,) bat until lately there
was no great thing to figure about. Con-
sequently, Tor long time to the peril of
his good name he was the man of action
IN trlftes. Now, in a crisis, he has noby
redeemed himself. The conclusion of his
speech subjoin. The orator really look.

it, and even Ogden Hoffman could scarce.

from immediate u,terance.
''Aristdes and Themistocles lived and
died rivals. Cesar drove Cato from
Rome. and he was compelled 10 rescue
himself from the tyrant by resor, to
suicide Cicero also became the victim
OF the malevolelce of the tyrant who
called Antony husband. Pitt and Fox
were rivals in England throughout their
whole lives and never became reconciled
up to the moment of the death OF the
latter. Burke and Fox had a quarrel,
which terminated the friendship of many
years; but Clay, Cass and Webster on
the altar of their country's happiness,
sacrificed everything like personal rivalry.

The Message Of President Fillmore

creditable o him as a statesman and
nan-contaIns more in it that we can

worded, plain, business like State paper,

cases boldly.
After taking the bod measure Of form
lug his Cabinet by placing Mr.. Webster
at its head, it is not strange he should
now have come out in a bold. tiattooted
approval Of the adjustment scheme. 1t

from it; the language Of the message
means this or it has no meaning. Ills
calm, quiet, decisive words Ill favor OF
maintaining the law--of preserving the
integrity of the Constitution-cann
but have their effect on the contrary;
while his language is as decisive against

up to the expectations OF those who are
opposed to further political slavery aglt-
