the passions of the country, setting precc

Il needed none. It's eulcgy was written l.:
the past. Ilc then replied to the statements
Of Hammond arranging his remarks under
three distinct heads. First, the faith Of the
South, and the manner in which she kept IT,.
Second, the capacity of the South for sepa-
rate and distinc, government. Third, the
character Of the ,aboiing masses OF the
North. lie said thai in speaking TO these
points he should be comrelled to use the term

SExAIE.--In reviewing the history Of the
admission of Texas into the Union. he said
shat State was admitted TN the basis Of the
Missouri Compromise, without which il could
not have been admitted, The North was in
duced TO vote for it because il WAS declared
that north of So 50 there was y Territory in
which she could have three free States. The
South obliterated that line in 1854; and WAS
that good faith! Analysing the character OF
the present Democratic party, he said it was
now in the leading strings OF a prominent
Southern man. South Caroliua ruled out
MrCulhoun's resolutions offered in the days OF
the Compromise, but secuted from the Senate

of Southern writers, including Hammon'
himself. lie next passed TO the consideration

borers OF the North werc slaves. He saiC
