FoorE AND BENrox.--The animositv bo
tween Foote, of Mississippi, and Benton, of
Missouri, was we'll known. It is a matter
iof record, and there can be no want of
delfcacy in ailuding to historical fact.
Ga. the last night of that session which
closed the Senatorial career of those gen.
tleman respectively, Foote obtained tue
floor and occupied the final hour. with .
bitter aud eloquent review of the life and
acts Of his old enemy. Benton sat un.
moxed; his massive features BETRAYED NO
sign Of anxiety; yeR would have thought
him asleep but for the regular motion Of
his sye>llds. As the hand on the clock
pointed to midnight, he quietly remarked
to a bystander:
bleave the Senate Of the United States.
iootefout Of it; footed out Of it, sir; but not
kicked out! :.
Foote had said that he would write
little book in which Benton would figure
very largely. Benton heard of sthis. and
replied in his characteristic way to the in.
formant:
Tell Fooie that I will write a vssx large
book, in which he shall not figure at all.

THERE seems to be great deal more i'm

has been talked of and promised for many
years. But the signs Of its approach are no
more promising or threatening today than
they have been any time within the memory
of man.
revolution in Ireland under present cir
cumsiances is impracticable. The Fenian
organization, which has in charge the revolu-
tion in Ireland, has fallen under the ban OF
the Roman Catholic Church, and the people
OF Ireland are so devoted to the church that
it Is out of the question to enlist them in a
revolution under the auspices of the Fenian
Brotherhood.
We don't remember of single instance
in which the Roman Catholic Church. has ia.
Yored revolution, in the interest of freedom.
for the last three hundred years, and to do 50
would be in direct contravention of her prin-
ciples and policy. And there are no people
on the face of the earth who are so character.

ers of despotism in Church and State as the
Irish
In the wars of Europe, for three hundred
years past, you viii find thousands of them
volunteering on the side of despotism. but
none on the liberal side. They volunteered
10 defend the despotism of the Pope, in Eu-
Fope aud in America they are the most vio-
lent supporters Of slavery and of the Copper
head party. The Irish are not at all imbued
with the principles of civil and religious free
dom but have, on the contrary, settled hos
tility to the ideas which have prompted all
such revolutionists in modern times. And
until there shall be revolution in the ideas
and principles of the Irish on the subject of
civil and religious freedom, we need not look
for any revolution in Ireland. And as the
matter now stands, without the countenance
of the church, it is not likely that there will
be even a national insurrection in the interests
.ot Popish despotism, which is the only thing
practicable with the Irish Catholics of the
Emerald Isle
