The Yazoo Democrat., 1852-01-07

AS there is in many quarters curious
notions regarding National parties, we
have thought it proper to give few
National items as they fall in our way
not so much, however, to prove that
the Northern Democracy is sound, as
to show that this great Union ConStitu-
tional party headed by Foote, Freeman
& Co, is a most wretched humbug, or
is so considered at Washington. Here
is an item:
FOote, Baily & Co. are very much
eXaSperated that the Democrats in their
caucus on Saturday night, refused to
say that they cheetfitlEy acquieSced in
the Compromise, and would adhere to
it as it stood. The Southern Rights men
opposed it, and the Northwestern Dem
OcratS have anaIyZed with astonishing
accuracy the composition OF the States
Rights men in the South, and say that
they have come to the conclusion that
at least four-fIfths of the Southern
Rights men are old line Democrats, and
that they have determined to draw no
line which will exclude their former
friends from acting with them. The
resolution endorsing the Compromise
was got up by Foote, who is here, and
who took his seat il the Senate yester-
day, and the object of it is to save him
self, Clements and Cobb, from the po-
liticdl death which awaits them, since
they have abandoned old friends and
are mainly supported in theil reSpec-
tive States by wings, who will make
each of them walk the plank when
they have no further use for them.
For the present this matter Foote's
resolution rendering the hoSpitalitieS
of America to KoSSuth) lies over, but
it will have to be pressed very soon,
since Mr. Foote's term will expire (by
his own Imitation in four or five
weeks time. 1t is Shrewdly suspected
that he only came on to glority-get
back his place in the Democratic par
ty, and draw his mileage--the latter
consideration probably being first. His
brother agitator, Hale, took occasion on
the introduction of Mr.. Foote's reso-
luton relative to KoSSuth, to drive his
wedge in, by adding general declara-
ton of the sympathy of this Govern
ment for the victims of oppression ev-
cry where. From any one else the
enunciation of this broad principle
would have meant nothing, though ut
terly irrevelent to the resolution, but
ceming from Senator Hale, the latent
object, and meaning were fully appar-
ent. Accordingly the old question was
lugged in as appropoS to it by Mr.. Foote
and dilated upon in his usual vein
Hale responded, and the spectators o1
the scenes of the stormy long session
might have supposed himself thrown
back into the midst of that war oi
!, yoWels and conSonantS. Mr.. Foote wa.
VERY f1erce-Mr. Hale very cool-anC
/, the whole controversy conducted il
very bad taste, but very good temper
on both sides.
Both Houses have pursued the ever
tenor of their way since their organiza
tion, and the apparent, though decep
tive quiet which characterized the
opening of the session, still continue
to keep the surface unagitated. The
J only attempts at a renewal of agitation
at this early day on the Vexed question
! have been made in the Senate by it!
J two greatest demagogues, Foote anc
; Hale-the one attempting to make cap
: ital South, the other North. " Arcade
: ambo" are they indeed, and had the,
} but Glanced to have changed sections
would have changed SOlcS as well. MI
