Mr Foote. I would sp.y to inv colleague
that I c illed upon the li.imr.ible sen 'tor

Alabama originally introduced the resolution.
1 called upon another member of the iMilila-

expressed unless tne senator nas so.nt
niithoritv! do not see why lie should assume
that the whole world have the samo opinion
which he entorlains.
Nor do I find in any thing which I said
and to which he seemed very much to refer
n justificairo'- for his informing us that he is
inllucnccd by no prejudice. I made no ac-
cusation of that sort against any one. I did
ti.il suppo-o any fear fivor prejudice or
malice on the ptrt of any one. I addressed
invt-elfto what I believed to lie the :ncrit of
the resolution and upon that i hive not been
nnsvvercd. I stated epre.lv that 1 did not
consider tne senate a proper piare mr iiin.ii

inemlici s ofthe committee in reporting thi
resolution understood each other. Ih it its
merits alone should be considered and that
there would he ho personal controversy as to
the merits of individuals. Sucii has been my
course.
Mr. Smr.Las. Ifthc Senator will per-
mit me 1 will sav (h it I rpgret as much as
any Senator on this floor that any compari-
son has been drawn hitwecn those two great
di-tinguished Amerii nn geneiaN. 1 think
it is injurious to the reputation of both to
the reputation of the dead and to the reputa-
tion of the living. 1 am sorry that any gen-
tleman has done it. 1 cciUitily have not
done it.
Mr Dwis of Mississippi. Some twenty -three
1 believe may say some twenty seven
vean of Kind relations with the pre-ent com-
manding general of the army renders it per-
haps proper for mc to say on Ihis occasion
lest he should t ike the interpretation of oth-
ers for what I did say that I seek not to de-
prive him of anv military honor which we
i.roie-!v can confer u-in him. Few men
haie perhaps sp ken i .r iiequcritly or in
terms i higher pr u-"e of i. military attain-
ment? than msclf--f-w estimate lliein morr
highly I had some opportunity to know his
merit and some cause to remember Ihe kind
relations that navo always .iibsisted between
ni Tn it I might biro olnertinn to particu-
luracts of his is not invo'ved in the general
remirh whirh 1 mile I ehoosc thiK delili
cr.itely togirnd mvelf .iga.nst any misintcr
pretation by which he mignt suppose tint I
would wish to deprive h n of anv military
li'imrs that others mi. w -h to confer upon
lu:n i far as 1 believe it . v may be proper-
1 conferred Believ n ti s to be a depar
ture from our army system and believing it
to be an injurious departure. I resisted the
resolution. Vet I slated tint 1 would not
object to a proposition to create the grade of
n full general in the anny with the higher
Tank than that which it is now proposed tn
confer by the lower grade of lieutenant gen-
rral. So far then as I nm concerned I
have not sought to withhold the full measprc
of promotion from him who is now so worth
ily tho commanding general of the army of
the United States.
It is known to some members of the Sen-
ate thai I considered this iitic of licutcran
general as objectionable for many reasons;
nnd among others that I did not consider
it as corresponding with the organization
which obtains in companies and in regiments
while the grade of full general above that
of rrnjor general and brigadier general would
so correspond anil give us an equal number
of ge.nerals with the British service. 1 have
tlnught itpropt r lt-t there should be mis-
construction ol what I aave said to say this
luach
As to my constituents to whom my col-
league refers 1 would say that I picsumc
they care verv 'lttle whether 1 rote on one
side or the other of this question. 1 have
no idea that there is a man in the State of
vvl.ith 1 am a citizen who would think of
questioning me ns to responsibility for the
-vote which Ti shall give upon his proposition.
Though they might disapprove it I do not
think they would hold me responsible if my
" vote were the reverse of that which 1 propose
to give.
Mr. Foote. I hav e been so pointedly re
ferred to by the gentlemen who has just ta-
ken his scat that 1 will be excused for ma
king a very few remarks in response. My
colleaguo seems to think that 1 have misun-
derstood the history of this matter as much
as 1 have misunderstood tho history of other
matters of somewhat higher importance.
x nm is uis opinmn. ii is certainty entitled
to ft great oeai ct respect on the ground of. hesitate so to express myself; and I ventur-
aulhority but in as much as he has not made Cr3 to say in nddition.that the civilized world

sible showing of fatts I hope that it will be
in- my power yrt 'o stand up firmly and
calmly and maintain each position which I

understood the proposition no.v before us to

even the statement of my colleague hiiiHclf
supports me m this position. 1 am mdlllei-
cut as to the precise routine through which
the resolution in ly have been fated to travel
since its origination; but the main anu only
..-".. ii .i
material lact ol the case has been correctly
stated for the Senator from Alabama is enti-
tied to claim the paternity of this wnciiiciil.
I never saw the resolution myself cither in
print or in writing before this morning but
1 understood ftom the Senator fiom Alabama
that it was simply or at least mainly a tom

was proud very proud of two stage coarhes
(much laughter) which employed twelve
horses; that she was prouder still in ISO!) of
oft wenty-five stagec. oiches which employ id
one hundred horses; and that in 1817 these
twentv-five ccoihes had been multiplied into
two hundred and fifiy cinches mid omnibuses
employing one thousand -Ax hundred horses
without taking into account seven railways
which provided daily accommodation for
7000 passengers Von all know that as to
your schooN it is quite useless for me to
say a word about them after what just been
so well said by iny honorable friend u holms
preceded me (Ir Prescott Hall it would
also be superfluous in mc to launch out into
eulogy on that celebrated university the ge-
nial daughter of my own ".limn dialer' (ap

ous quarters of this great Confederation re-
sort and in which all as I understand are

In Ifiol there could only be found through-
out the whole of New England one miserable
witch by name Ann Ilibbins; and she was
old ugly and cross and therefore naturally
enough burnt (Laughter') on the plea that
she had g.iesstd a little too correctly that
her .11 deeds woids and looks were the sub-
ject of the maledictory comment of two
of her neighbors. Now in 18o0;gentlemen
there are in New England thousands of fe-
males notorious for their witchery and who
instead of being aged loathsome and repul-
sive are young lovely and attractive iv itch-
es who instead of being committed to the
flame go about iufl lining others; (laughter)
aid this with the most perfect impunity
though (hey are perfectly well aware that they
themselves and their charms are the daily.
houily constant subject of conversation to
all who have the pamfnl pleasure ol being
acquainted n itl. them. (L lughler.) But it
is not only forthu triumphs of beauty tint
New England is now famous. If the ivied
cl.aplet is still the classic meed of letters
may not Longfellow and Ticknor place it nn
their brow ? It the laurel belongs to those
who worthily narrate as well as to those
who perform great deeds has it not been
nobly gained by Sparks Bancroft and Pres-
cott? And if you gentlemen are all anx-
ious lo possess the portrait of the finished
gentleman and perfect Senator is there any
one more fit to sit for the picture than the de-sccnd.-iii
of that distinguished Governor who
enjoyed the double honor of having contribu
ted tn the fust school nnd furnished at bis
own expense the first bark which belonged
to that State of which your Winthrop our
Winthrop is the nctual representative?
And if I wish to discover a man whose young
imagination was ripene'd amongst the solitary
scenes of border life and whose manly judg-
ment was formed amidst the daily and active-
business of great communities can you not
point out to me such a man one whose elo-
quence is poetry held in chains by reason"
whose statesmanship is philosophy reduced to
practice? who stands second to none of Amer-
ica's children I should say superior to all.
if the tall and venerable figure of an absent
fiiend did not riic up before me whose star
shines from the vve-t as yours sir (bowing
to Mr. Webster) fills the eastern hemisphere
radiant on all sides with intellectual light.

SrLC.vp.D Vehicle tor the Wokld's
Fun Mr. George Watson coach-maker
of Philadelphia h is just completed one ot
the most cxquisilc pieces of woik which he
designs to send to the World's Fair in Lon-
don that has ever been accomplished in this
country. It is a buggy constructed entirely
of American materials nnd after original de
signs prepared expressly for it. The wood
iron silver plating silk lining leather and
I trimmings are all of Amencan manufac
ture.
The running part of the vehicle is of
American hickorv bc.uitifullv fitiNhed.
Thc body is of American walnut most
brilliantly polished am! finished aselc
jantlyas the choicest drawing-room fur-
niture. Tlic fore part of the coupling pre-
sents an American Eagle in full flight
exquisitely carved in hiekory. The pla-
ted ornaments about thc vehicle repre-
sent the American Eagle and firitish Li-
on in juxtaposition. The stitching which
is all done with the most perfect neatness
represents the device of hands overlooked
emblematic of thc cordial friendship exis-
ting between the two nations. There are
also ornaments representing the Ameri
can oak andjaurel intertwined with the
rose tho thistle and the shamrock and in
every part there is some pleasing; device
to remind the .spectator of the harmony!

Tin Philadelphia 'v- ' American gives
the following skctc .. the lecture of
Gen. Sam Houston on 'lie subject of the
''Trials and Difliculticsof a Frontier Set-
tlement as verilied in thc History of Tex-
as"' in that city lately.
The style of the speaker was at times
glowingly eloquent when depicting the
honors attendant upon thcTctas revolu-
tion and the desperation to which the
Te.xans were wrought by the conduct o
the Mexican soldiery and government.
t other times when vindicating thc
character of the. Texan population from
the imputation of being lugitives from
justice cut-throats fc. he was witty and
amr.sjng.
In this connection he stated it as a fact
that Texas was the first State in thc Union
to adopt laws protecting the property of
married women and exempting the home-
stead from seizure for debt. In tracing
the course of history from 1S23 to tho
present time lie paid a fervejit tribute to
Stephen F. Austin as the Father of Texas
and the cause of its settlement by emi-
grants from thc United S ates. lie also
gave Santa Anna credit for thc most su-
perior abilities as a gencal. He denied
that Great Britain had ever endeavored
to treat with Texas for annexation to her
own dominions and said that all she en-
deavored to do was to negotiate a treaty
of commerce and friendship by which she
proposed to guarantee thc independence
of Texas. Regarding annexation he said
that lie himself by his negociations and
exertions managed knowingly to throw
the question into the Presidential election
of 18 1 1 which lie said was the sole cause
of thc success of Mr. Polk in that con-
test. He said that during thc pendency of tho
annexation question he intentionally per-
mitted it to be asserted that lie was op-
posed to the measure knowing that an
anxiety on the part of the rulers oi Texas
for annexation was likely to operate
against the measure in thc United States
and added that although Gen. Jackson
repeatedly wrote to him on thc subject
desiring him to clear his skirts of thc as-
persion he did not explain. Asv regards
thc present progress of Texas he said that
:)000 emigrants entered it across thc
Sabine in the course of last year and that
during the present year the number
would lie doubled lie pointed with
pride to thc loyalty ol Texas as evinced
in her vote accepting the compromise and
said he had hard enough work to get in-
to the Union so that there need be no
fear of her desiring to get out of it.
Gen. Houston closed with a culogiunt
on thc Union which was responded to by
the meeting with three cheer.
