Read the following reminiscence of Gen. Foote,
from a correspondent of ihe St. Louis Times and
ask youroeir tbe question whether politically, be
is entitled to the least confidence of any honest
mau. Hit course reminds us of an old quotaiiou:
" He wires in and wires oat.
And leaves a body still in doubt,
Whether tbe anake that made the track,
Wae ioiogfurtk or coming back.”
For tbe cauee of trvtk aud justice permit me to
present tu your numerous readers a few rtmiuu-
cnees of Mr. Foote, iu order that they, of all par*
ties, may form io no opiuioit us to ihe value of
testimony from such a ** witness ’’
About ilia year 1829, he ritubliahed, or tvns
engaged iu u public press at Vicksburg, whose
course and |tolicy was to advocate the political
opinions of Hun. John G Calhoun. Tho extruv*
agance of bit advocacy of Mr. C. and hi* opinion*
a* the only «»fe means of preserving the cmistitu.
lion and the Union, i* well attested by tho history
of that time. In 1810 or '32, discovering that
Geu. Jackson was serious in bis breach wiib
now an English Peer. On tbe death of Lord
Newburgh, she succeeded to a handsome jointure,
hat of this she afterwards forfeited a great part
Ou her marriage with a Russian nnbletnan,
ihe Baron de Steuberg. With him the lived for
several years in great style in St. Petersburg. A
aon waa there born to her, who, while yet yonng,
accompanied her to Italy beforo tho death of
Chiappini, whom she still regarded as her lather.
This man. before hia death, addressed a letter to
her, which altered her whole destiny, > id troubled
the remainder of her days.
This letter carried her to Paris and engaged her
in a loog series of ridiculous intrignes to prove
that she. aud not Louis Philippe, was the true
heir of the Oilcans branch of the Bourbons.
Her story made a great noise, but nearly gaiued
her a domicile intbo mad house. Wo willlet M.
Michaud tell the conclusion of tbe tale for him*
sell:
Pecuniary temptations were presented to her In
tbe moat iuaidnout manner by Louis Pbillippe's
agents, bat she resisted all with a pride truly
worthy of royalty. Convinced that she was the
daughter of the Duko ol Orleans, nothing short
of n full recognition of her rights as such, would
satisfy her. Her statue, mien, and manners, oven
her voice, testified to this distinguished origen.
All impartial men listened with admiratiou to her
forcible assertion of lierclaims. It was scarcely
possible to listen without being persuaded of their
oatice. Sim boro a striking resemblance to
Madam Adelaide, Ihe Duke's sister, while the
features nf the latter vividly recalled to her her
reputed father, the jailer. It ia even said, that
on theorcasiuu, when she conducted her youth,
ful sou Edward to the picture gall erf, Ihe child,
observing a portrait of Louis Philippe, cried sev

Menaced Mr. Calhouu in a train more bitter aud

It is a strange fact that Louis XVIII and Charles

innnceuvres against tbe Baroness. Those Princes

Iu 1838 he was nominated and elected by tbe
Whig party a* a member to Ihe Legiilaturo from
Hinds county. He waa elected with the view
cbielly of abusing and villifyiog tbe Locoloco
parly. This pledge lie redeemed to tbe hearty
aaiisfartion of the Whigs.
Soon after this be was found in tbe Democratic
rooks.
Iu 1839 ho made a pilgrimage to Washington,
to obtain, as it was said and. not doubted by tbe
public, some office from Mr. Van Duron. Seeing
that Van and hia administration turned a cold
shoulder tn all of hi* sweet smiles aud caresses,
he returned to Mississippi, pouring out bis pa
triotic indignation against the President and hi*
prominent friends. Mr. Beiilou especially, was
tho object of hi* maledictions, couched iu lan
guage that would be offensive tu ordiuary de
cency. The street, hotels, and coffee-houses of
those regions, can well attest bis extravagance
aud abuse of Van Boren and his administration.
During the same year, 1830, at a Whig barbe
cue at Jackson, be made a speech (ib.- cacottkcs
lojurndi of the man is most astonishing) deuuuuc-
iug "Me powers’’ at Washington—poured out a
most fulsome eulogy uu Mr. Clay—advocated a
National Bauk, both at constitutional aud highly
expedient.
In 1840. by tbe queer evolutions of bis restless
ambition and untiring manenvres, be was selected
and run asoue of ihe Vau Bureu electors of that
S . I *.
As tn the advocacy of repudiation in 1841 and
'43. I will say nothing.
In Ihe view of the foregoing and innumerable
other iuitaiK.es of such consistency, it is o'ten
asked Irow did it bsppeu that Mr. Foote was
elected Senator?
To auawer tips intereating question I refer to
tho Senator himself, and to hi* former friend,
Roger Barton, Esq., of North Mississippi. It ia
notorious that Barton sud his friends, tbe Demo
crats of North Mississippi made him Senator.
And the sequel ul tbe joke was tbul Barton was
about tbe first man iu .lie State wbo met him in
1819 ou his return from Washington, and gave
h>m nun of the most sen thing rebuke* lliut was
ever iullicted on mortal man.
As to lii* preseut position with the Democratic
party of that State. I pretend not to kuow, but I
will venture an opinion that .95 per cent, of lb»t
party will be fouud to be firmly opposed to his
re-election to the United State* Semite.
And why may it be usked this sudden and
vast change of tbe Democracy in reference tu Ihe
Senator I
Waiving the fact that he never possessed any
genuine popularity in that Slate, it may be ru-
ineiiiberod that about the time a bill f <r the ad
mission of California was introduced, Senator
Foote with the whole delegation, wrote to Gov
ernor Quitman, representing that it was quite
probable, if nut certain, that wifli the obnoxious
constitution, she would be admitted as a State.
It denounced sucb admission ns e great outrage
upon the South, aud s'tcli un act a* should not lie
quietly .uhinitied to. Neveitheless, lie, wiih the
cithers, earnestly requested the Governor for hi*
adcice in I ho emergency—invoking him to nscer*
tarn the wishes of Ihe people aud of tbe Legis
lature as to their duty. The Governor promptly
replied, urging him. with the rest, tu oppose tue
admission of Culiforuiu, with her preseut aud then
couatilntiun, under any uud all circumstance*.
Tiie people, e*|iecially the Democrats, sud the
Legislature, sustained the Governor in bis view*.
The Legislature gave instructions to tbe acme
purpose.
Now. mark the seqnel. As soon a* this advice
which he had invoked, waa given and pressed upon
tbe representation of that Slate. Mr touleninde
another of those astounding summersets for which
bo is so famous. All ul the delegation of this
Stale have remained true to the wishes, espec
ially of the Democratic party of the people of this
State.
It ia notorious that in this late struggle, Mr.
Foote was the most rampant Hotspur that the
South contained. His attack upou the Northern
influence iu general, aud upon Mr. Hule in
which cumpassed tbeir destruction. Tbe fell of
Ihe elder Bourbous, and the succession of Lonis
Philipps to his good cousins, rendered the Baruu-
ess’s iHisition more than ever difficult. She was
moie 'ban once desired to return to England.
The intervention of the Amt aisador shielded her
from prosecution; but sbe was now alone. The
Baron de Sternberg bad conducted her favorite
son Edward to Russia, to that her courage aud
consciousness of the justice uf ber claim formed
her only protectiou agaiust the spies that sui-
rounded her. Her memoirs having been seized,
and tbe tribnnala of justice closed agaiust Iter by
tiie ruling powers, whose tool* they theta wero.
they ended by pronouncing her mad : tbe ouly
pretext for this calumny being a peculiar fancy
wliicli she had for feeding some birds which flew
tn her wiuduws from tbe gardens of the Tuilerie*.
We kuow, however, ou irrefragable testimony,
that to the last she returned full possession of her
reasoning faculties. She never abandoned ber
claims, but always subscribed herself Baroness
de Sternberg, bom Juioville. During the last
five years of her hfe, a fear of beiug arrested iu
the street caused Iter to coufioe herself to ber
own bouse, where she knew she was safe through
the protectiou uf tbe English Ambassador. On
the uight before ber death, iu 1845, happening to
bear the cannon atinouuce the opening of the
chambers, she called fur the public journal that
sbe might read the speech uf that brigaud. She
never spoke again.”

part of the work is that in which tbe author col

Louis Philippe was not a Bourbon. The story iu
briefisthis: that Philips Egslite. the reputed
father of L-uia Philippe, exchanged nu lufaut
daughter of hi*, for the lufanlsou ol a low jailer,
with tvho at he bad formed no acquaintance in Ita

We know that the greater pert of their fortune
consisted of demeuse* (appnrances.) tn hlcb falling

niul tliet at this very period the duchess, after hav

of Count end Countess de Joiuville, they spent

JACKSON. Butts Co., Mty6tb, 1851.
In pursuance of a call previouslay made, n meeting
uf the Southern Rights Republican party was held in
Jackson, and organized by calling Judge McDaniel
to the Chair, and appoint'ng J. R. Lyons, Secretary.
On motion, a committee of seven were appointed
consisting of Col D. J. Bsiley.J.C Key. Henry Hen
drick, sr.. A. J.Bennet, II.J.Grimmet J.W.Hark-
ness and John Goodman, to present two names to re
present the county in the approaching Gubernatorial
Convention to be held in Milledgeville.
The committee reported the names ofEdward Var
neraad Edward McDaniel, which report was nnani
moosly ratified.
Col. D. J. Bailey then offered the following pream
ble and resolutions, which were approved:
We cheerfully comply with the call made from ev
ery quarter of the State by the State Rights Demo
cratic Republicans to meet io Convention at Milledg-
vtlle in the present month, to nominate a candidate to
be voted for atthe ensuing October election for tbe
office of Governor.
And in view of the importance of the duty of such
selection, we trust to the patriotism and wisdom of
the Convention to present some one worthy the con
fidence and suffrages of the people for that office.
We deem it fitting to the occasion to express our
continued adherence tn those political principles em
braced in the admirable Virginia and Kentucky Res
olotions of 1798 and '99. as we believe that so long as
the federal government shall be conducted within tbe
boundary ofpowersprescribed by those resolves.tbe
federal constitution will not be violated in spirit or io
the letter, the rerer.vd right* of the sovereign States
will be secure and respected, and the Union of the
States will be preserved, and every true friend of ihe
Sooth will defend it as a political blessing above tbe
eitimateof earthly price.
No true patriot, no friend to well regulated liberty,
can or abonld aak n better form of government than
is found in the term* and provisions of the constitu
tion of ourconntry, and the highest patriotic devotion
that can be attained il to be found in the earnest
straggle to preserve it inviolate in the administra
tion of the federal government.
Wo contend that our federal constitution and fed
eral Union are correlative terms, sod one cannot ex
ist without, and independent of the other; and to
maintain the one. is to defend the other—hence we
have witnessed with tbe deepestsolicitude the strug
gle between the two sections of the Union (of the
slaveholding and non slmvebobbng) arising front the
acqnisition of territory in tbe recent conflict c>f our
country with Mexico.
The S iutli contended for. and joatly asked for,
equality in the favors of Government, and although
we believe the settlement of that question, has enac
ted detriment alone to Southern interest,yet ns Geor
gia in her sovereign capacity lias reviewed and given
it sanction by the ordinance of the Milledgeville Con
ventionin December last, duty demands of loyal citi
zeos. toyield obediently totha supreme power and
will of tiie State. But io doing so we solemnly pro
test sgainst the fraud and injustice of “measures"
called compromise which forbid tbe growth and ex
tension of Sonthern institutions others may be but in
those measures ire are insensible to any claims upon
onr “admiration and joy," posterity will look back to
the adjustment period with disgust, and scorn the
spirit of tame submission to measures which have
violently taken from the Southern States an Empire
of Territory and of wealth and power, which io all
time wool.! have defended Sootbern institutions, in
which there is social peace, happiness and honor.
The following resolves are therefore submitted:
Raioived That in the present critical position ofon r
national affairs, whenevery movement oftlie macliin
ery of Government proclaims its tendencies and par
poses of usurpation and consolidation, that there is
abundant cause for the most fearful apprehensions ol
danger and disaster to the venerated form of govern
ment under which we have so long and happily lived,
aud for which we entertain the liveliest concern and
most devoted attachment. In view of tbe probable
perils which await our future progress, it behooves
every loverofhi* country to renounce now and forover
the rancor of partisan strife, the jealousies of political
ambition and the insatiable cupidity of power which
hat so loog distracted our councils and paralized our
energies.anil make common cause lor the restoration
of those pure principles of Republican policy.
Resolved, That among those principles wo regard
first in importance, the well established troth thstthe
federal government is the creature of the Stales, aud
amenable to them forthe faithful and impartial exe
cutionofthe powers entrusted toil* control.
Resolved. That we care not under what political
party our principles may associate ns so that upon Us
banner are inscribed the principles of the constitution
in it* primitive pnrity.thatour motto sbali be meas
ures not men. principles not party.
Resolved. That we have aeen with entire satisfac
tion, the commonication from James Buchanan, the
distinguished statesman of Pennsylvania, to the South
ern Rights association of Richmond. Vn .in which he
reiterates hi* earnest appeals to his countrymen con
tending thstthe Federal Government can only be
sustained by a rigid adherence to the constitution
and by retornine to tbe enduring principles of tbe

[COMMUNICATED.1
I notice in the issue ofynnr valuable paper, of the
29th of April, the suggestion ofthe name or General
David E. Twice* aa a candidate for Governor. Al
low me to say, that I think the suggestion is timely
aud well made So far as tbe little circle of my ac
quaiotance extendi, I cao iu truth say,that no person
wl ose name has teen mentioned in connection with
that office, would be supported with more lervency
and zesl. than would tile tried patriot and brave old
soldier, David E. Twiggs. He who has time and
again, so manfully instnioedtne flag of his country,
will never quail under the glorions banner of South
ern Rights iu the day of trial. But I hare no rightto
forestall tbe action of the convention. R io its wis-
dwnthst body,shall see fit to nominate another per
son; tbe cause at stake, the glor-'ona cause of State
Rights; the sheet anchor of tbe South, will of itself be
sufficient to nnito all hands and hearts, and thereby
wipe, if possible, from off Georgia's escutcheon the
foal blot imposed recently, by the federal propensities
