Mr.. BUTLER's SPEECH.-The Boston Courier,
an independent paper, opposed to Mr. Buffers
principles, says:
1--WE re-publsh to-day from the pamphlet edi-
ton, the speech of Mr.. Butler, of South Caroline,
delivered in the Senate of the United States March
5th, 1856. We have preferred to give it entire,
instead of portions, which we have been repeat.
edy requested to publish in order that our readers
may have ample means of forming their own judg-
ments in regard to it. We have read this speech
with no little surprise, after hearing 80 much of
that Southern denunciation which it has been said
provoked Mr.. Summers retort. As to the political
opinions of Mr.. Butler, rs developed In the speech
it is unnecessary for US to say anything. Apart
from these, no honest mind could help admring the
genuse ability displayed, the patriotic sentiment
svinced, and the truly gentlemanly tone and tenor
Of the entire performance We have been at
loss to discover in it anything calculated to give
personal offence to any one unless it be in the use
of the terms fanatic 'fsnaticism,' &c, which
have been so commonly applied to that wing ofthe
Free Soilers represented by Messrs. Sumner, VIII
son, &c, as hardly to warrant any particular out
cry at this moment. In a word, the speech of
Senator Butler is Il statesmanlike and practical
production, not a mere piece of rhetoric though
rsing sometimes, will be seen, into the highest
regions of orstory, and is in fact real bona Gde
argument of that description, which is so address
ed TO the minds of men to be likely to have
its due effect upon them"

repeatedly al that city. making himself so-

directing the construction of Notifications

In one of these visits he became &c.
quainted with the young Marquis de La
tayette, who had recently arrived from
France in Company. with a number of
French, German and Polish officers,
among whom was Baron de Kaib. The
Marquis was not quite twenty years of
age; he had already been married to a
lady of rank and fortune Full of the
romance OF liberty, he had torn himself
from his youthful bride, turned his back
upon the gaye.ies and splendors of
court, and, in defiance Of ilnpediments and
difficulties multiplied in his path, had made
bis way to America to join its hazardous
fortunes.
He sent in his letter OF recommendation
TO Mr.. Lo: ell, chairman of the committee
of foreign affairs. and applied the mex,
day at the door of Congress to know his
success. Mr.. Lowell answered that Con.
gress was embarrassed by a number of
foreign applications, many without merit.
