Sea-am to the wiiid turn to the sun his eye!

From promontory tall and prairie wide.
..Where she ha'.h been till now so deified!
Listen how Europe rings from land m land
With jeer and .laugh and hitler biting corn!
Ij. kings mi smiling vvhila the red right hand
Of treason vaes above a country torn
Willi strife and tumult sin! their armies stand
fte-idy to darken our yel breaking morn
Iiiding.i:u'ir aid to this unhallowed strife
So latelj sprung of Terror into life
Li'ok on the future with prophetic rye.

An mist collecting when the storm is nigh
And such a storm! Along the hill side cling
The light horse and the swift patrolling spy
Jlorers in front like birds willi restleis wingr
While here the riflemen moves sure hul swift;
And there the musketeers unbroken drift.

secession voted down by a tmiotity of more
than seven to one. (Applause 'oud and long
continued.) 1 hive addressed other meetings
one oi which was in Natchez in the negl.b-ir-hood
of which tho Governor of Ihe State had
resided the last twenty years. I spoke freely
in condemnation of his messagr denounced
it as a treasonable document. (Applause
and three cheers for Foote.) His friends
were present his relatives were present
gentlemen accomplished intellectual and
patriotic his partner in the practice of law
tbr more than twenty-five years was present
and sat with me on the stand which I cc:u-
picd on the occasion. What do you suppose
was the result? Al the close of the meeting
I called for the sereders to show themselves
but it was like calling spirits from the vasty
deep (laughter) they did not come when I
did call for them. There was not one man
in that meeting who had the effiontery to rise
and say he would support the Governor in the
course he is pursuing in this cnsis of the
country. (A-pplausc')
TherAvill be another opperlunity of tes-
ting public opinion in the State jn the Con
vention which is to ass-emble there; and I
beg of you to note what I say that w hilt-
Georgia has only three counties represen-
ted by seceders in her Condition the State
if Mississippi will not have "one" county thus
represented. (Great applause ) I know
that all ihe oHici.il influence of' the State
nnd the Legislature are against Union;' but
union will notwithstanding that be triumph-
ant in Mississippi nnd that State will nobly
vindicate hers-elf front the suspicion of trea-l
sou wuieli has arisen in men's minds in con-
.equeiice ofgross misrepresentation on the
subject. ( 1 remendous applause.)
And even in tho State of South Carolina
patriotic voices have lately burst forth in
support of the Uuion and the constitution
Mr. Grayson formerly a member of Con-
gress has published a pimphlelin tavor of
the constitution which has been circulated
throughout the State ttrnl which has produc
ed nn extraordinary sensation thvre. Mc
Poinsett and Gen. Hamilton have spoken
out on the subject in the boldest' rnifgungc.
Can vou doubt that these voices raised 111
support of the i'nst it niton's of our fathers will
arouse n patriotic response in South Cafo-
hna? 1 cannot doubt it. Do you recol-
lect an insfan'ce which occured in the past
history of ruf country with which Joel R.
Poinsett tvas identified: A few years ago'
whcn'h'a' represented 'this country in Mexico
his house was surfouuded by a mob and
its demolition vvas- threatened. He kept
quiet nndshnpiy hung out the American
flag tiie s'.sts act strijms. What was the
mtfn or a A'adt'snn at least so far as it
deil '.villi the slaver Question. He i
detprmined to stand by the laws and rpcom-
mnds no alteration" in their prorWona.
This will enn'ent the South: and let tho
Vorth net up to the rpeommenrlations of tha
President nnd the Union s ne.
I will not detain vou much longer; but I feel
hntin.l to remark for a moment" on the procee.'fn2
or the. Committee nf Thirteen. Tl e distingnihed
gentleman who addrescd us on this occasion (Og-
.len Hoffman Esq.) his referred to ihe action of
that committee and. not having been one of that
enmmittee riikpwis can srea'; in terms of com
mendation of its la'x rs. The gentlemen who corr-no-ed
tint committee did risp above party influence;
thfiy did forgot ttieir party absorbed as they were
in patriotic solicitude for thrir country's welfare
ind honor. Yes. and I will give you an anecdotn
:ihistrative-of the spirit in which these m n acted.
It vvas said on a certain occasion to my old friend
General Cass by some gentleman three cheers for
General Cass who vvas consulting party policy a.
tittle more than ihe interests of the eoOntry that if
the plan of adjustment was carried outV Henry
Clay might become Presidents Now- General
Cas had nominated Mr.'CIay as chairman oflEar
committee; and whtf was the reply of the old pa-
triot! I will state the reply bcsa-.se perhaps yoa
will hear it from no one else.' When" he replied
that honest face ofhis became refulgent with the'
truesp'rit of a pa'roV. He renrvrked "Thea so-
be it. If Clay's noble conduct at the head of our
-ommittee in rescuing his count ty lrom present
langer should conduct hfm to the Presidency no
"man-in tho int.on will more cordially ratify his
e'ection than mystslf." rfere followed an ru-
hursi of applause which-nrulc die portraits on thn
wal's of the Governor's room dance a jig. I
challenge you to point out lo me such another ir-
stance of patriotic devotion and self sacrifice. .Vr.d
that was the leelingjiredorninsat among the fiiend
of the adjustment inboth houics of Congress. I
'w ill not speak- oT those ttho'hcliT a subordinate po
sition hl:a iny?elf; but I will say that tiny thrra

settlement Clay Cass and Vebster proved them
