The New Orleans Courier republishes 1--WE be
ieve from the Boston Postl a sketch of speecl
mace BY Senator Soule, in Faneuil Hall, Boston
Finding it in the recognized organ of the sena-
tors party, in this State, we presume it is cor
rect, and will note some rather curious things
in it. s,s H*g &" "-'f s..7
For Mr., Soule we have always had personal
respectand in consideration of what we thought
his daring boldness a politician, even some
thing like admiration, But this speech. We
must confess, is but little creditable to him, an6
impairs any reputation he may have for dignity
as q Senator, manliness as a Politician anG
good feeling as a man, tits decidedly the most
reckless and abusive effort of the canvass and
in the same degree the most absurd u &.
We quote from the Courier's publication:
Nature has ddcn in the depths Of every society two
great elements which, in this country have Transformed
themselves into two great parties, which now seine
ment. ,-esa
parties are generally known particular
or tendencies, butthe which distinguished fr its
utter disregard Of national or personal rights and its
giant crpdity claims to be the party of principle the
party of genius, the party of science looks down
the people, compounded of mischief prohgacy
and ignorance" ,., I". NJ ~
81, g US, the people" So, Mr.. Soule considers
that only the partisans who act with him are
" the people" and all others are not OF "the
people" Perhaps, it was not GO the people -
who elected Harrison and Taylor? When the
Hon. Senator charges upon a great national
party " utter disregard of national or personal
rights he charges upon them what could only
be said Of felons, pickpockets and Malay pirates
This is nice language to fall from the lips of an
United States Senator.
But Mr.. Soule can go even further than this
in his rancorous partsanship. Speaking of the
order of succession of our Presidents, he said
" He was succeeded by the younger Adams, who was
elected BY trick and whose power parayzed by the
very fact.n f7o
Effected by trick''-here is, thus strangely
and indecorousy, revived the pitiful SANDER Of
bargain and corruption on the part of Henry
Clay. Even the grave is no sanctuary, when
the rancorous venom of the partisan Senator is
to be discharged, and it falls upon the tomb of
him, who yesterday died, and left nation in
tears! 1t falls upon name, which, in the con
secration of death, is religion to every American
heart, upon the fame and memory of the dead
giant ofour nations Senate, the Pacifcator Of
the Union, the Patriot Sentinel who kept his
watch till death sealed his eyes, stilled his elo-
auent tongue, and withered up the strength of
m.ghty arm on which the Union had so often |
leaned for protection and support. It falls upon
new made grave, around which sorrowinr
na'aoh ye' stands IN the solemn and silent elo-
quence OF grief. 1t falls upon grave, of whose
great occupant it may we'll be said t

Every generous American heart will throb an
indignant rebuke to the revival by Mr. Soule,
ol such charge, in such an hour, and against
such man! We had never expected to see Mr..
