Y GU positively declined having any arms on

vile, and therefore would not attempt an
authentic history of all that transpired. And
as my attention has been desired to one fact
only, state that, Gov. Quitman and your
! self were engaged in combat but few mo-
ments, whenyou were separated, and urged
by your friends, for the sake of peace, to re-
tire from the ground.

This is to certify that we were present at
the debate between Gen. Foote and Gov.
Quitman at Pamela. on Thursday last, and
we are of opinion that the speeches of Gen.
Foote on that occasion, did, in no respect
whatever, exceed the limits of legitimate de-
bate. He was courteous and respectful to
his opponent, from the beginning to the end,
and cautiously avoided saying anything oi
nature to give personal offence.

Hon. II. S. FooTE Dear sir:-In an
sBer to your inquiry Of this morning, I would
say that, / was present at every discussion
that took place between yourself and Gov,
Quitman, from Yazoo City to Charleston,
Tallahatchie Co, and that your language
towards that gentleman was courteous, gem
tlemanly, and strictly in accordance with
the rules Of debate. It is true, your criti-
cism on his public acts were, at times, Sc
we're, but you always RETAINED from any per-
sonalities, and diselaimed, at all times any
intention to impeach his motives as a gen
tleman or patriot. At Yazoo City when
Gov. Quitman introduced the Cuban affair,
you begged him to let it rest, saying that 1t
had nothing to do with the question at issue,
and that it was a delicate affair and one
which you hoped would not be brought in
for discussion. You never did, to my knowl-
edge introduce this subject in your opening
speech. Yours Respectfully,
II. V. BARR.

The whole idea Of present Intervention in the
affairs OF Europe is one Of the veriest Quixotsms,
a political insanity which is born and dies in the
hurrat Of the mob. Things are ripening TO their
results and our peaceful prosperity is Of more
potency in shaping the progress and growth of
nations than aught else. Why should not the
young al ID growing giant bide his time, wait till
his sren 9Th full and bis stature completed. before
he risks all upon untimely contests Suppose
Hungary, suppose Ireland, suppose Germany, are
oppressed. They have made their demonstration,
and it shows that the republican spirit is abroad
among their people, and it is spirit which grows
and dies not, because it is born of convictions.
But the carise of liberty will profit nothing by
an agitation (such as Kossuth proposes) of a free
people against their own free government True
Republicanism respects law and order, and knows
| those cauno, exist without a government a gov
| eminent which, with us, rises and falls with
leeitimately, regularly ascertained public senti-
