The APPEAL OF this morning in an
able leader, urges the prOpriety OF a

Old man FoOte, Hon. Henry ). FoOte,
once q resident OF the State of Missis-
sippi, more recently 3 representative in
the Confederate congress from our own
State, but now sojourning in Washing
ton, has again unbOttled his wrath, and
poured it out with 3 liberality bordering
upon extravaganza upon the devoted
head of Andrew Johnson, late alderman
Of 6ireeneville. He writes a cOlumn.for
the Washington Chronicle, which, for
unvsrnished epithet and blood-curdiing
charges, has scarcely ever been excelled
in the English language. He presents a
picture Of the ex-President which is any
thing but pleasant TO look upon. 1t
must he admitted thar FOote is a wOrdy
old man, and that he knows how to pre-
sent complaints in their most telling
form. 1t is possible, however, that he
OverdOes matters sometimes, and it
would be nothing strange if he should
improve JOhns0n's chances for the SEN
ate by his abuse of him. There is such
q thing as furnishing even bad boy so
severely as TO create sympathy for him.
