came to his end by violence. It was to.

broke from the ceunseIs aud influence OF
Mr.. Davis, and became, with Mr.. Henry

will be remembered, had returned from
an unsuccessful mission to Europe, and
was representing Alabama in the Cons

The question OF navy was under
discussion in secret session. The de-
: bate ranged beyond the parliamentary
limits, and Messrs. Yancey and Hill be-
came animated over the abstract doc
trines of State rights and the divinity
of slavery. High words passed, and
finally the lie was given by Mr.. Hill.
