The animo>ity between Foote, of Mis-
sissippi, and Benton, of Missouri, was
we'll known. 1t is n matter OF record
and there can be no want OF delicacv in
al!udung to IA historical fact
On the last III 9ht OF that session which
closed the senatorial career of those gen
t!cmen respectively, Foote obtained the
floor, and occupied the final hour with
bitter and eloquent review OF the lie and
acts OF old enemy. Mr. Benton sat un-
moved: his massive features betrayed no
signs OF anger or anxiety you would have
thought him asleep, but for the regular
motion Of his eyelids. As the hands on
the clock pointed to midnight, he quietly
remarked To a bystander-
." | leave the Senate of the United States
footed out Of it; toottd out of it, sir, but
not kTcked OUT
Mr. Foote had said that he would write
a little book in which Mr. Benton should
figure very largely. Mr.. B. heard of this,
and replied, in his characteristic way, to
the infcrmant-
'Ieil Mr. Foote that | will write n very
large book in which he will not figure at
all
The Thirty Years will show how faith
fully the promise was kept.
