SPECIAL DIsPATcBrs TO The n. TRisusE.
From Our or, Co,respondent
WASHINGTON Saturday, March 20, 1853.
Mr. Fcote Of Vermont has made most abls aud
eloquent speech against LecomptOn. 1t was de-
liyered without notes, and in very animated, im-
pressye manner, and gave vivid picture of the out
RACES Which the people of Kansas had had perpe-
trated upon them. He warmly indicated them
from the Presidents charge Of rebellion. IL they
we're rebels the men of 76 were rebels. He
glCried in such rebellions and hoped the men of
Kansas would stand firm in defense of their rights,
making no unworthy concessions, and preferring to
die martyrs rather thaa live slaves. He gave an
admirably clear exposition Of the pretended sub
mission Of the Slavery question TO the Popuar vote,
pronouDcing it a deliberate swindle, and declaring
that the President insulted the intelligence of the
American people by saying that il had been sub
mitted. Thanks to Gov. W Walker, the people sub
sequenty had an opportunity to vote upon Lee
compton, and had rejected if by an overwhelming
majority.
Dir. Green here undertook to question some Of
Mr. Foote's statements. but was promptly silenced
BY the evidence.

He could not sit silent while the working class was
| reyiled and msrepresented. He eloquently de-
scribed the maniness thrift good conduct and iu-
te)lgence of the working men of the North, and
showed, by an overwhelming array of evidence,
that tLer condition was superior to that of the
non ssveholding whites at the South, and even to
that of the majority of shareholders.

Mr.. Colfax immediately took the floor and replied
with great 'gor for an hour, in speech containing
more new point. than any yet made in the Discus

other spe.kers. His analysis of the Objectionable
features Of the LecomptOn Constitution itself wa
peculiarly striking.
