The debate on Mr. Foote's resolution in relation
TO the COMPROMISE was not continued on Tuesday
as 7uficiDafed in consequence Of the anxiety 0l
the Kos5utb resoutionists to ride their hobby for
which thew secured the precedence. Consequently
the Thcrsites of the Senate escaped any further ex
coriatioD but the act of Justice thOurh DELAYED
will surely be visited uDou him. 1t is understood
that Mr. Butler will first reoin to Mr. Foote's re-
sponse to him, after which, Mr. Rhett viii also
reply. If his accidency of Mississippi be not made
to play the part of shuttlecock (for which he Is 50
admirably adapted both by specific leVity and
toughness) between those two strong arms, then
public expectation will be greatly Disappointed
In the short space OF time that has elapsed since
the meeting of Congress, this piebald politician
has contrved TO render mmseII universally odlous,
