This great and patriotic speech
delivered in the Senate Of the United
States by North Carolina's gallant
and ablo Senator in February last,
OH the Louisiana cmbroelio, has been
published in pamphlet form, making
sixty-cight pages Of closely printed
matter. 1t is tho speech, not only
Of statesman and patriot. but Of II
gentleman and scholar. We viii it
could be read by every one North aud
South. The argument is conclusive,
aud the style Ciceronian. The
sentiments are worthy Of gallant
soldier and an honorable man. They
do credit to tho old North State and
tho whole South, as we'll as the high
est honor to the noble Senator who
uttered them. Well may North
Carolina be proud of her accomplish

Another Exposure of Radical Rascality
in Louisiana.

The impeachment Of Charles Clin.
ton, the Auditor of Louisiana, is the
result Of al examination or his ac-
counts, made by joint committee
Of the Legislature, which sets forth
his dslinqu encios at great length.
This report ssys that not only have
his books been kept in an irregular
manner, but that in many instances
the Auditor has, seemingly with in
tention, tranSgressed the law, while
the arrangement Of his accounts is
such that it IS quite impracticable
to ascertain what the actual or
equitable debt of the State is, either
bonded or floating, and equally in.
possible to find out from them what
is duo to tho State. The report
further shows that the Auditor has
been in tho habit'of making unwar.
rautcd settlements with defaultirg
tax collectors; that he has mis.ap.
propriated the State funds that he
has issued warrants for many more
legislative empl yeos than tho law
allows; that in ono instance war;
rants to the amout Of over $4,000
had been issued to pretended firm,
which had no actual existence, and
that in single item thero was found
an s'error' Of moro than 100000.
In short, this report, which is signed
BY some of the most prominent Re.
! publicsns in tho Legislature, elbows
that his accounts are not only incor.
rect, buttl,at they have been inten.
tionally falsifed. Clinton, the im.'
pea,hed Auditor, has been oDo Of the
most conspicuous officials Of the Kcl.
! logg government, and he is q carpet
|bsgger.and Christian statesman Of
tho uQst nreAooneed typo, having
been distinguished for his profession
Of piaty,
