SPEECH OF .VR.JIOU.XT. 1
lit reply Id Mr. Calhcarl,on a motion to rescind
a resolution censuring- the Hon. John Tipton. Mr. President: The manner in which 1 have been noticed by the Senator from Laporte makes it incumbent on me to give a history of the transactions to which the gentleman's pending resolution refers. On my return from a visit to my family during the adjournment in the hollidays, last winter, I happened to be in company with the representative from Cass county, who in
formed me, that on a ccrti.in day about one hundred families from Logansport and its vi-

git te following authentic story ot the woo-1 in aaJ winning and becoming the.lawful posjjiiorof a young guiltless heart, carries in its deftiliinore matters of interest than any love affair that has come to" our knowledge, and ffe nil! now give it to our readers as brief Ir as
ire can. ojidc nuie uunug uie ti summer; French gentleman, a member of a wealthy! mercantile firm in New Orleans, came on hithtr to spend a few months in rest and recreates, until the subsidence of the heat, and maykip, diseases of his city residence, should induce him to return to his home. As almost al! other strangers do, he often strayed from hi, place of sojourn, at the Carlton House, to spend a pleasant hour ia promonade on the battery, to inhale the pure breezes that came
ia whispering coolness from the ocean, and gaz upon the galaxy of beauty that tripped o fury-like along the gravel walks of that odi-
ferous retreat. There as the afternoon shad
es were lengthening, also came a beautiful
riH of nineteen, named Mary , a domes
tic ia the family of Mr. ,a wealthy merchant, whose lovely children she had charge of, aad which she every day couducted to the
Battery for air, exercise and indulgence, in
their iuaorcnt gambols, la the discharge of
this duty oae day Mary was met by the r rench gentleman from New Orleans. lie was attracted by her beauty her perfect neatness of appearance her artless inno
cence, and he.- devotion to the wants and com
fort of the ycung children committed to her care. Soon he made bold to engage her in conversation of the chasest kind, and as lie
conversed from day to day, became insensi-
b!r, deeply enamored with the lovely Wary
, and resolved, if possible, to make her
kii bride. He learnt troai her lips, that she
wis of Irish parentage, was an orphan, with
tale if any education, and was dependant a-
bac tor support, upon the wages sue received
iron the merchant, in whose house she was
emobved as a domestic. After repeated in
. t j r
temewt, lie miae Known ins passion, ana ottered Mary his hand, telling her if she would
wrry hiui, that she should become the mistress of his splendid house and heart in New

He must have been apprised of Mr. Tipton's opposition to Mr. Smith's amendment, as he so well describes the paper marked with black lines, olluded to in the discussion. I think it a little strange that the gentleman was so passive under Mr. Colerick's severity when he charged .Mr. Tipton with being indirectly engaged in the speculation alluded to, and when the Senator from Delaware charged him openly on this flvor with travelling home after the
ratification of Iftt treaty in a shorter lime by some days, than ha ever before had done.

over this matter, and Mr. Tipton's character has to ba zchikaasfud." Probably some Indian claims aie to be, or have been adjusted lately of some Indian treaty negotiated, in which it may have become the mutual inter

Michael Gregorio Gherundaxi, whose troop amounted to between 1,400 and 1,500 men. She painted in glowing terms the charms ot iheir errant, and adventurous life, and urged Ismacl to ioin them. He pretended to
yield to her entreaties ?nd then learnt farther
from her that lcr uncle would hold a general

The wily Muatapha collected his troops, surrounded the assembled freebooters, and as
they refused to surrender, attacked them with r . . . :
all his forces. Tne greatest numoer oi on-:
eands fell on the spot, preferring death in the
field to capture and ignominious execution.
A few escaped tor the moment, out tney were taken, and are now waiting a trial, in the citadel of Thessalonica. Among the dead were
found the chief, Gherundaxi, whose head was
cloven by a stroke from a sabre, and the young .a as
lieutenant, Ismeal whose breast naa occn pen

introduced the following resolution :-Je5o-crf,
That the committee on waj s and means be

representatives in Congrcse, to use their in

minimum pricr, to the lands lately acquired
of the Miami Indians, to aid and assist in her

I also received from air. Smith a copy oi tne privileges of this House, of an offence against

Mr. Jenifer, ho spoke with remarkable

author to an equality with men of honor.
uuncan brazened cut the affair, at first, by long and vapid speech, bv which all hi
Loco Foco friends were grievously mortified for the i of it was that he considered himself grossly insulted both by Mr. Stanly and
f ooumgaie ana ne ascertained from some publications in papers within his own
District, .that certain editors thought so too. Therefore he had concocted the publication
in question; and he defied any one to say it was worse than what had been said against him. Here is chivalry with a vengeaucc.--Ile holds himself up as repelling insult with vituperative language! irtd yet talks of hcuor!! Why, the merest tyro in knowledge of that code knows that no retort however severe is held to be a sufficient answer to an insult first given. These remarks called forlb m
general laugh of derision and contempt from
the House and the galleries. It will be remembered that in his publication he imputes
to two of the most noble-hearted and chival-
ric members of the House, cowardice for not
challenging him, after having been insulted
yet, lo-uay, he made an elaborate argu
ment to prove that he was the one who rc- " ceived the first iusuli,and that his columns of vituperation were only in answer to that in-
suit.
M r. Gray, of N. Y. endeavored to have the hole subject laid on the table. but the mo
tion was lost ayes S3, nays 91.
I hen came the speech of Mr. Memfoc,
which is pronounced by all whom 1 have
icard speak of it, lo be cue of the most ad
mirable and fleclie ever heard in Congress.
He literally beat into atoms the last lingering reed of self complacency on which the Defendor of the Administration rested. The
people iu the galleiies could not refrain from
testifying their admiration and sympathy by
clapping their hands und other manifestations of applause.
lhis discussion was continued with the ut
most animation until six o clock, when the
House adjourned. A second motion was aiade to lay the subject on the table, but it
was rejected.
In the course of the debate, Air. 1 hemp-
son of S. Carolina, moved to amend the mo.
lion of Mr. Prentiss,' by striking cut and substituting the following:
Resolved, i hbt Alexauder Duncan, a mem
ber of this House, having avowed himself the author of an aiticle published in the Globe of
the 10th inst., grossly libellous ol honorable members of this body ; that the said Alexander Duncan be reprimanded by the Speaker in the presence of the Iiouse.
Before the question was taken on this pro. posed amendment, the House adjourned; and the subject comes up first, as the unfinished
business to-morrow.

strong native powers of mind, and the repub

ling fashionables from one of our cities. When the hour of dinner, arrived, Mrs. Chittenden, to the astonishment of her lady guests, went out and blew the tin horn for the workmen, who soon arrived; when, to the still greater surprise, aud even horror, of these
fair cits, the whole company, oovcropr, iu

to sit down to the substantial meal which had.

themselves, one of the guests thought she
would geplly take Mrs. ChiUendcn to wsk for this monstrous violation of city gentility,
to which she had been, as she thought, so un. courteously made a victim.
