Genera Hayne, Of South Carolina, Z. the
U. S. Senate, on Mr.. Foots Resolution, Jan.
uary, l83o,--and Mr.. Webster's speech in
reply TO it. Gen. Hayne was an eloquent
debater, and fine specimen Of Carolina
chivalry and genllemanly bearing. On The
occasion in question, he stood forth ostensi.
bly, as the champion of the South, and ven.
lured to break a lance with the intellectual
giant Of The North. That he was wors.ed
in the contest is unanimously conceded, ye,
! ihe speech is Of interest as "reminiscences
Of a period of high political excitement and
acrmony; and is, moreover, necessary 10
competent understanding Of Mr.. Websier's
reply. This, it is generally known, has
ever been regarded and spoken of as "ihe
great speech" Of the Massachusetts states.
man; as profound and luminous exposition
of fundamental principles Of the Federal
Constitution. Had he never delivered an
other speech, this alone would have trans.
miued his name to the latest periods oil the
Republic.

death Of one Of these distinguished orators,
and we have no doubt will be eagerly sought

US. With large class Of American readers,
this Review has become favorile. 1t pro.

iicles in The present number is entitled "The

there is therefore itile wonder that the &C.
