Yesterday was an interestin and an ex. citing day in the SO i rV?.ALL.ACE of (1tur state having obned t floor in the House the day preceding, I stepped into that side to near him. but found that his op itgaE boing heard was precluded un til next week, in conseciuence of Friday's being assigned to the consideration 'of -? privalte bi'Is. Monday being also set apart for "motions," he will probably not be able toobtain the floor until Tuesday iext. A streng energetic and able argument may be aiicipated from him, for ai more fcarless nvrepresentative' of Southern rights, and a more stanuniulupholder of the imterests of his section, cannot be found on that floor. * A btronog intellect, vcTgent reasoning, and a scortf) ajuterfuge aypocrisy, einrac te- iUtteraritis'f Mr. VA1.LAcr, a, all times and all places; for lie is thorouirl .*.y.l"honest man; ns well axsa faithful rep. resentative of the District which las ob tilid'the services of so tiziunch and true a Sethrohbin wo'd and in aet. - Our Delega tion in the House have hitherto been sileit, tfqr any want of zeal, or enth6siasm in the cause, but .solely' for the reason that N.eir tend' s apposed the enemy might ';operve'rt their support a'nd advocacy of the jneasures proposed to factions ends, and gain color from their avowals of the pre ended origin and ends of this agitation. .1t labor of love on the part of Lhe Ad rhinhtrAtii organs at the Nort h. and their s iymp thisbra at theSouth, has been to piro A5 ce the impression.that this, controversy. now; w1aritir between the sections, is but. a revival of the old Nullification quarrel, and our Representatives have held their peace thus far to disprove so foolish and frivolous an imputationi-as groundless as it is ab-urd. The tne haiis arrived, hownever, when it is neaeswiry for every oi todeline his posi tion, aid Mr. W"ar.sm:. will 4pe. tI hail h 'the*.South Cirohaiv lclemation-to be dlowe'd, miost rrbl:y,y by Mr. Onu, aid T Mr. Co.coK, it a proper interval, both of thepO'gent!emoI having vainly enuhdavored to obtain the floor for soce timae p-ast. Nowoe doubts the positioni of South Car lina, nor her readiness or desire to "take a place in the picture;" yet her Representa tives feel- bound to give a forimal assurancO 9', the fact a body that seeis incredui!ouls of the existevnce of Southern spirit or Sou i er intelligence-jud-ig from the toie and tenor of its proceedines. Finding that nothing wiis to he done in the Iouise. I adjourned to the Senate, in '-time-to'hear the speech of Mr. Siaci.is, which was as thorough a Free-soil a pro duction, as HALF or SEWARD could have givenbirth to. This speech (to tie whole of which, I listened most attentivelv-think ing of that sword all the while,) confirmed most conclusively the suggestions as to the -.opinions of this gentleman, made in the Telegraph last suiniier, and at that tine so positively contradicted, on the authority of some of his friends, who werx doubtless not fully "posted up" as to his sentinients, for lie - not only declared that the instructions of his State required him to vote for attaching the Wilmot proviso to all Territorial bills, but - em hatically added his own conviction of the propriety of such a procedure. lie went even furthcr,and assailed the in stitution on ioral grounds, declaring it to he against natural rights, and used ve'rv uncom pliPe ntary terms relativo to OIw _etser'al sui. jeeL -In short, the General treated u.,n as w. btter than Mo icans-though lyi~jid . t b laor oi .wiiCa pro<tU'~ st he mera'~ v.*. much pparenit uinction. A~fter hearinJg bhn thro:gh, ti.o conclutsionl i reed upoii nmy *miittwas, that the Genera,/could figure bet tet'nt the head of a forlotfi hiope-or as a re cruit to a storming party--...tharn as a mnembier of a dolibera~tive body, or aConistituttional sig-adr.His symipathis may be with thpSouth-but this mnode of m ifeiisa"tinis al'betion is very .striki ur--to say the heasto His speech however wa prefced by a comaplitment to the mueinorv of M~lr. Cau~ts ors --suggested by thle proeediigs of thme flast lay's sessions. T1ho feelings of the pirivate mani may lean towards the peopille who have so higly hoinored him--hnt this pubilic iianifestation of his policy and opiinions would certaiinly not iisucre himii anorther -tiumphanl reception in Sottth-arolia.
