short speech in reply 10 the remarks Of
his colleague (Mr Ten Eyck, few
days since, in defense Of the right Of in
struction He expressed bis concurrence
with the recent conservative resolutions
of the Legislature of New Jersey.
Mr.. Ten Eyck responded in few re-
marks defending his COURSE, after which
the Presidents message was taken mp,
and Nj. Wigfall proceeded He said the
Senator IRON Tennessee seemed TO think
he had been the object Of special attack,
but he had not seen any such attack
The Senator now denies that he was ever
in favor OF coercion Hu, il was the eff
feet Of his extraordinary speech. He
{ Mr.. Wigfall) had too often seen South
ern men too weak in the knees, and such
men generally 20, their reward.
The Senator from Tennessee says the
secession movement was the work Of pol
i,ieans. But he would like to know
what the Senator was if not a politician
himself The Senator had the holiness
to say that even Seatl Carolina, if the
question had been presented % the peo-
pie, would not have seeded But The
people OF that Stat, had cried out en-
mqs@ for blood, and urged the authorities
to attack Fort Sumter that this dis
grace to their honor might be wiped out
The charge that the people of South
Carolina are not entitled TO suffrage is
entirely without foundation.
The Senator complains that his great
argument has not been answered. but
when did he make any great argument
He certainly had not heard it, The Sen.
ator from Louisiana (Mr Benjamin babe
us farewell the other day in tones which
must have touched the hear, Of every
man who had heart yet the Senator
from Tennessee considers it n farce.
This is the impression the disruption Of
the Union makes on his mind He talks
Of loving the Union, when he has done
as much as any other man 70 destroy the
Union The Senator pretends net 10 be a
politician, and yet he was guilty Of using
the expression that the people Of Lpuisi-
ana bad been bought with price az
chattles. /, il saia in the streets that
the Senator was in close conclave with
the Senator from New York MIR. Sew.
ard and the Senator from Massachusetts,
MIR Wilson
Mr. Johnson said there was no founda-
ton IN any such rHmor, and be did hot
think the senate n proper place into
which to briug sreh rnmors
Mr. Wicsall said "a, ,rp9i5ss ror ~
4ippiandum" lie thought /, VERY
proper place. But he thought it strange
that those who profess such love for the
black race have So little sympathy for
their own race. H. regard to the admis-
sion 0f Louisiana, the Senator from Ten
nessee has CARRIED the documents Mr.
W then referred 10 and read the ord.
ance admitting Louisiana into the Union
He contcndcd that the senator from Ten.
nessec had placed himself on the Repnb-
lceu platform and acnicd the equality
Of the States
4 mons'rous pcrvcrsiuu has been made
Of the documents of the great man
lJscksool who was shining lgh, to all
democracy. Naiionalism has been
charged upon him. and he proposed 10
defend him from that charge lie then

dresses 10 show that jackson never ad-
mitted chat the government was more
Than compact between the states.
