We give thn following graphic skotch of part of
the Speech of the Han. John M, NiVs, delivered in

dry sarcastic humor which pervades it and his
description of the Iocofoco lleigm is. both truthful I
and comic. Tho triumphal cavalcade of Cass an I
his followers through New York, Albany, Sir, with
the incident at Cleveland, amid the "noise and

If the Senator is ambitieiw of leaving this Hal!
with the high honor and glory of having been as
sai'cJ by die, and to tell the country that I am a
do-srrtcr from the Democratic party, so be it, I
shall care very little about it. 1 intend to do jus.
tice to that Senator now, and 1 hope 1 always shall.
I cannot say what I may do, but 1 feel anxious that

; But, not discouraged by their poor success at
Gotham, they went on to headquarters, and under
took to make the same proclamation there. They
got up an immense cencourseat Medina, or Albany
or some point near the termination of this flight,
where again the honorable Senator from Ohio was
the mouthpiece to proclaim tins now creed, put
forth in that new decree called the Nicholson letter.
On that occasion the honorable Senator, I believe,
Went back a great ways, and entered into a pro
found historical argument, in which lis attempted
to explain to the people the origin of the two great
pirties of this country. lie went back, I believe,

now elements into the public: niind ; and although and name of p irties down to the very mcmcnt at
not very ambitious, Rtill I know I have a little' of J viich ho was then speaking. The people listened
that weakness, and who is there who would' nut be I to .the honorable gentleman 's arguments and his
protu),en in the humble capacity of an historian, j forical reminiscences with admirable f atience for
of distinguishing his name by chronicling the i'diw- j SOMo time, but at lust they became wearied, and
designed as it is as a means of affecting the insti
tution of slavery in the States, a gainst w hich it is,,
aimed as a blow, should be resisted on the part of
the-South by whatever means are best adapted to
the protection of the constitution, the defence of
herself, and the preservation of the Uliici."
We regard this as the most sensible resolution
npon this subject we have yet iseen, , The idea
that a dissolution of the Union, itself the very worst
of evils, can be regarded as a remedy for any grie
vance, is, to use the words of our contemporary of
the BiUiinore American, " analagous to that w hich
prompts tho morbid mind to contemplate suicide as
a means of deliverance fran the trouble of the
world." The fanatics of the North are greatly
chagrined at the waiit of unanimity ut the South
in support of Mr. Calhoun's ultra measures. . They
see, plainly enough, that agitation in this quarter,
would beget, or keep alive, agitation there and
they hopo to succeed in. tlie avowej design of dis
solving the'Uuion only by ineauB of agitation.
The r.odertitocoiinie'ls ol the majority of tlie South
ern Delegation, by no moan answer their pur
poses, and they praiso Mr Calhoun because they
ihiuk hu is aiming at the sameobjoct' with thein-
Richmond Whig.

There is rpy friend from Oiiio (Mf. Allen,) on

formed memorable feats upon the kattle-tields of
hi State, Why, sir, Ohio has been tlie Flanders
of this country iu the ward which have bpeji car
ried on for tee last twenty years. Many and-desperate
have been the battle-fialds there, snd many
and desperate have been the battles fought upon
those fields. . Laughter. And I believe both of
the honorable Senators who now represent that
State in llii body have been field marshal iu those

who bore conspicuous part in them, wliose gen

men marched deliberately forth, aud with a self-de-yotioa
scarcely paralleled in the . world's history,
exposed themselves to all the dangers, fearful as
they were, of those conflicts, where man met mau
front to front, assaulting and assaulted with that
terrible Instrumcnt.tbe sword of the tongue. Laugh

the people," continued to trace matters along down,
khowing what had been the position of such a par
ty at 6iich a time, and what had been the position
of such and such individuals at such and such times;
overhauling the United States Bank question, rear-
guing the aubtreasury scheme, extolling the Mexi
can war and the acts of the Administration, till, at
last, the-people would stand it no longer, and they
cried out again, M These are stale matters ; what
have you to eay on the question of tho proviso ?"
Laughter. Still there was no response to this
very reasonable inquiry. Then there was ft re
mark made by some one, " Jackson we know, and
Van Buren we know j but who are ye ?" Re
newed laughter. This occasioned a general shout
and brought matters pretty much to a close, and
the affair was tennina'ed in this lame and Impotent
manner. The people did not recognize the mission
or tho, doctrines ofuiy hororablo friend. They
were heretics, and had not become indoctrinated
into the faith of litis new creed, which had been
set up by (his new prophet, and therefore did they

Mr. President, these matters will come out a
