The next question is "the distinction between poll
teal and legal or judiciary rights" That such queS
ton should have been propounded by Ldoyer' 10 az
most incredible of belief. The difference between
Political and Legal rights Innumerable answers at
once suggest themselves, and they are some common
place. that we dare not encroach upon the Intelligence
of our readers in enumerating them. If an answer
aoain pressed we shall decline sheerng the ignorance
of those who PROFOUND it, by remaining silent
The last question is "what is meant by the last re-
sortn" We answer, ''secede," secession or WIN
drawing from fellowship, which ever you please. Al
ter having exhausted all legitimate remedies OF
the .last resort" is secession-separatlon
We have now answered every question with but one
exception propounded We shall shun no question III
its legitimate place. coming up in the order OF discuss
ion It is our desire to throw light on the doctrine OF
secession and it will afford pleasure, to explain any
nont answer any question, at that point IN our arg-
ment where either are legitimate We cannot be pro-
voked into rambling discussion. We move from the
beonning and bring historical facts and arguments
down step by STEP side by side that he who runneh
NAV read and understand
The questions we have propounded, and again re-
publish to-day presented in order to obtain an atr
nance or denial History decides upon FIVE of them
and the SIXTH with its coroary, is the mere defining of
the word State 1t is often used in the various
forms indicated andwe wished arbitrary adop
ted at the outset that verbal qubbng about its
true Specification could happen hereafter.
Again the denial or admission of each of the first
five propositions at some point of the controversy is
inevitable, and opponent can gain nothing by de-
clining to answer them now, by simple denial
affirmance His declining to answerleaves without
any knowledge of what have to PROVE because we
do not know what he will affirm or what he will deny.
We both may affirm, deny the same proposition, and
it will be seen by all readers that little credit is
due either. The first five propositions historically
true or they not historically rue-f true they
be proved So not true they cannot be proved-his
tory decides the point if should disagree, and who
can sag zoe shall.
refusal to the propositions will be regard
ed by every intelligent man. inglorious retreat
from the field of controversy retreat without paa
ton or respectable excuse of any kind. We shall
wait response to the propositions, with the confident
belief that opponent will take less narrow view of
the subject matter before our readers.

Foote step by step through his Senatorial career and
he has delivered speech which appeared in the Con.

how he said it, and how long he abided by what he had
sad and how often he had called upon his God to wit
the sincerity of his purpose. But this lastspeech
the great speech as it has been announced by one
of his admirers is simply, taking it whole, TAX
ing it by passages, without parallel the contemp
tible and ridiculous affair have ever seen from him.
He devotes two days to prove that Mr. Rhett of S. c.,
is disunionist. How ridiculous Mr.. Rhett Soes
not deny it, that know He has announced his
positions frequently to the world, and yet Senator
Foote occupies the time the Senate, and squanders
