The Inteliigencer publishes Col Hunts speech
in fun to-day upon the Nebraska question
Perhaps no speech will be made upon this bill,s
certainly none has yet been, which will receive
. larger circulation or call forth warmer praise
than this Of your esteemed Representative The
Union sneers at it as ssrefined lberality + What,
to honorable men, or to mon Of ordinarymoral and
political perceptions. would be simply Just Or
fair to Coll Forney Zone Of the reputed editors
of the Unionl would appear, if It initiated
against his personal or party interest, as re
inement - something too nice for his blunted
sense Of right The mon who could urge an
other to get evidence for destroying woman's
reputation sud rosa, and by plying the unsus-
peat;nr marty with wine, can hardly be ex-
pected to possess the power to discern such
points of political question as involve the high
considerations Of faith and honor; these, to him,
would be n refnements." But Col. Hunt needs
no defense froh. attacks in such a quarter; he
has uttered such manly, national sentiments
upon a sectional question as have lifted him far
above the creeping, seryile politicians who pom
der to party and passion. If, in the future his
tory of this country, there is to come civil dis
cord, and wild anarchy, and bloodshed between
its different States it will be fortunate if there
he left in the North such men as Everett and
Fillmore to confer with such in the South Us
Bell and Hunt; the wise and good will not spurn
their counsel, but will remember their g re-
lined liberality.
& You have no doubt seen rumors that Marcy
would soon resign his seat In the Cabinet It
is eertain that he has not g room and verge"
enough where he is, and that he can make
nothing, politically, out Of this administration.
Hs did not give the instructions which led to the
Gadsden treaty, and he has been compelled to
yield larger discretion to Mr.. Buchanan than
was proper Or customary.
Mr.. Gwin withdrew the amendment to-day
which he yesterday offered in the Deficiency
Bill flor custom house appropriation at San
Francisco) rather than endanger the defeat Of
the bill in the House. The bill goes back to the
House, however, as usual, with an additional
load from the Senate.
\ Meanwhile the House has taken up the ordi-
nary Civil and Diplomatic appropriation bill,
which is another of Mr. Honston's blunders.
If this session is to last, as from present indica-
tons it will, until the leaves spread and wither,
the consequence Of introducing the regular APP
preparation bill at this period will be to make
the next Deficiency bill something like the an
nnal supply, instead Of merely bringing up ar
reafs. +
No legislation is in order now-the Gadsden
Treaty in the Senate-the Nebraska bill in the
House, stop the way. +
The weather has turned as cold as Lapland,

shooting with attempt to kill Edward Fuller.
