In lht diaiance was to be ern lha city, it port t r.livmt d by merchant veaaela of Almoal every nMion, and btWfen ihfm and the Oatsrio. a number of Hiiuab, Kunoli, aad Uutoh abiusof war. On tha morning of iht find, the Kallant alotip wmh dreaaeed out with fl tt,' flying from rvery maal head, m honor of the Father of hia Coun try; and Captaio S wmt aabore iq tritnaACt buaineaa with the American Conaul, Mr. Oflley. leaving ordert for the cuatomary obaervancet of the dny. The first lieutmanl accor dinly directed that preparntiona ahould be niade for the birth day aalute, by drawing the ahot from gnns. In executing thia aervice, (he toutire ia to draw the ahoi and draw it alongaide of the gun; ao that the officer, in pAteing Along to gee thAt the duty hag been performed, observing the shot, is sAtinfiedof (he fact. On this occasion it happened that the cabin guns weie drawn first, and to avoid lumbering the oabin. were directed lobe carried away. One of the shot, it seems, from carelessness or hurry, was laid alongside one of the guns in the waist, before the uun Iiau been drawn; nnd to this slight circumstance were owing lha mist bancea of the day. 'While the aalute wa. ; firing, the attention of the first lieutenant was attracted by the repor. of one of the guns, and he immediately called out "Gunner! that gun had a shot in it." "No, sir," the gunner replied, "there U the ahot alongside the gun." "No matter for that," said the lieutenant, "I am satisfied from the sound, that the gun was shotted." "I do not think so, sir," rejoined the gunner, "but at any rate thegu.). Are so depressed that the shot could do no harm." lhe guns had been depressed to pi event demage to the neighboting abipping from the wadding. The salute was fired, and the first lieutenant had gone below, leaving the second tiuetenant in charge of the deck. While the officer was pacing the deck, unconscious of impending evil, he observed a boat putting off from a Dutch gun brig, their nearest neighbor and steering for tbe Ontario. She waa soon alongside, and a Dutch lieutenant stepped upon the deck, with strong symptoms of consternation in his demeanor. "Mein Got, sir," was the first saluUrion, "you fired a shot into us just now, which carried away our maim peam, and almost kilt a man." The American officer expressed his deep regret at the accident, and re quested, the Dutch offler to be seated while he communicated the circumstance to tha lieulanant. "H , do you know we've shot a Dutchman this morning ?" "Shut a Dutchmitn ! -impossible," cried the lieutenant. It's a fact here's and officer from the Dutch gun-brig on board of ua, and be tells me we've carried awav some of bis tackle and almost kilt a man" "Then for God'a sake, my dear fel low, get a boat, go on board, expuio the Accident, and m ike ev ry ptoper apology; ascertain what damage has been d oue, and ofler suitable reparalion." The officer went on board the Dutch brig and explained the accident to the captain, whom he found a very reasonable man find salUtied with the explanation lie gave him. The shot, it fee ins. had ricochelted. struck the surface of the wnler and glanced off paased over the Dutchmnn's poop and struck his main boom, or "peam." as the Dutch officer had it. The lieutaut inquired for the man who was

"almoet kilt." and was gratified to laarn that h "almost" meant that tha ahot had paaawd pratty near a young rtiddy who waa walk'iag on the poop at tha time, but had neither bit nor hart him. The Duioh oAptAin politely declined an offer to repair the brooken boom, and tba Amer loan lieutanant returned to bis ship. Ha had aaaroely fliished bit report to lha flratllfutcDAnt. whan a boat oame Alongside with an offiear from a French oorvetla whioh was lying beyond the Duteh brig. Wa may obaerva, by-the-way, that at tha time wa are speaking of, there wag much coolness aubaiating batwten (he American and Frenoh oflloers in (he afdi(erranean, growing out of the unfortunate fiaeaa whleh had aeearrad a short time bafora, at llahon between tome Ameri eaa and French aailors, ia which a Frenoh offloer And an American aal lor were killed. Tha Frenoh offloer oame on deck, and with a demeanor (hat waa anytMng but eonolltatory, atat.ni that a shot from tba Ontario had pasaad over Aha French king's oorvetta , carrying away soma of the rigging and a quantity of tea man 'a ohuhiog whioh had been bung out to dry. The offloer, stepping to (he companion way, oommunioatad this addition al misfortune to thw first lieutenant. "il 11 i, wa'ye shot a Frenchman!" "Shot a Franohmant" esolaimvd II . ia it poasible I Whan shall I hear lha laat of (hat infernal shot I(Joon hoard, mv dear , without

delay, and aaiiafy Monsieur that an aooidanl." Tba lieutenant accordingly went on board the Frenoh corvette, and rx plained to tha captain (ha elroutaneea expreaaing hia deep regret at (ha ao oideat, and offering to aend the prop ar persona from the Ontario, to rep -ir damagaa. Monaieur, howavnr, waa not in as plactble a mood as Mynheer; aa he declined lha offer to repair dam ages, but talked of informing his go? n.menl. and maintained a reserved and an ollended manner, until lha Anierin n officer's pativnoe began lo wear out ; aaauming aa stately a de. meanor as the Frenchman, ha gravely ohaerved. "Sir, 1 hav informed you of lha ciroumalanceg of thia accident, and made )ou every apology which in my opinion tha nature of the case re quin ! you will be p!east d to inform we whether you are satisfied ?" The French e iptatn immediately relaxed, "Oh, oui, Monaieur, eertainmeni, o'eat aaaei, e'eat bami." The American olfioer thereupon made his bow and relumed to the Ontario. The officers now indulged the hope that his unluckly shot had terminated its adventures wihout further mischief: but the circumstances being such as the first lieutenant thought should be immediately communicated to lhe captain, they remained or deck until hia return. Captain 8. oame on board about nine o'clock, and making a few observations, took the first lieutenant aside 'H ," said be "do you know ibat you fired a shot to-day?" "Yea, eir," said H , "I am perfectly aware of the fact; but how did you learn it, Captain S. ?" "Why, the ahot atrucb an Austrian "Struck an Austrian ?" echoed H . "Aye, struck an Austrian brig." replied the captain, "the Austrian captain brought the shot to Mr. OfBey's, while we were dining." '-Did ou actually gee the shot, Captain 8.T said H . "1 actually saw lhe shot; it was brought, aa 1 told you, by the Anstri an captain, to the consul's, while we were at dinner, and laid 00 the table. "Where is the shot now, sir?" "At Mr. Offley'g." "Was any one on board the Austrian ship?" inquired H . "No; but some damage is done to the vessel." "Thank God. then," cried H "that I've heard the last of that shot ! Never gun fired such a shot before; first, cut away a Dutchman'; spanker, next a Frenchman' a rigging, now it's hulled an Austrian ! But are you sure, Captain S. , that you saw the shot al Mr. Offley's ?" A boat was sent on board the Austrian vessel early the next morning. She proved to be a largo, new, strongbuilt brig, of about 340 tons a Black Sea trader. The bad, which, Alter it glanced from the water, bed passed the Dutch aud French vessels in an ascending course, began to descend before it struck the Austrian; and such was its impelus, that it drove through the thick, strong side of the vessel, carried away a henvy stanchion, and finally brought up on lhe opposite side of the brig's bold, Among a number of men who were At work, without hurting a mnn. The carpenter of the Ontario soon put all lo rights on board the Austrian, and thus ended "The Adventures of a Thirty-two Pound 8hot." The Menagerie. "Mr. Showman, what's (hat?" "That, my dear, ia tbe Rhynocery. He is couaing German or Dutch relative to the Unicorn.

WMtern Annoyanoet. Judge J , who has recently returned from a tour in the West, re I .tet an anecdote illustrating the hur rora lo which Iravelara in that region are expoaed. In his paaaago lo one o( the rivers, he fall In company with a talkative lady and gentleman, to whom he waa relating soma of his sufferings from mosquitoes. "Husband," said the lady, to the gentleman owning that tide, "you had better tell tba gentleman about the man wa met 'in Iowa.' " The bint was luffiolentt and "husband" proceeded in aay that, "In their travada further Wcaiward. they mitde acquaintance of a stalwart, rolickihg, Weslarn hoogier, one of the genius that could 'whip hia weight in wildcats;' but who possessed a fund of quiet humor. On one occasion they hud slopped at a hotel in the interior, nol of ill- most inviting appearand . They wi re shown to their rooms, the hooaier at one end, and ihn Indy and grullenian at tha other, of a lo hall About .midnight, ihn droway couple wtN llcih d by tbe report of fire arnta, ptoceading from lhe end of tita hall occupied by their traveling out..pa.tion. Both alartvd tip in ued. und began to spi'uulalti on lhe probable cause of this untimely alarm, when (hay heard a rushing of feet, and a confusion of voices in ibe hall. ,, going lo (he door, the gentleman lound thw whole househohl, deaden by the landlord, rushinH in the direr, tlon of the report. His curiosity I d him to join thin midnight prooeaaion, aud he arrived with the rest, in front of the booster's door. Tha landlord tried th'e latch, but found It fast, whereupon, in a loud voice, he dritiau ded instant admission. " 'What do you want?' roared the liooaier. " 'Want to coma inl' said ihn landlord. " 'Can't do id' waa the reapon from within . Mt't my room, and I'm is bed -can't 00111 in.' " 'Let ma inl' ahuuled lhe landluid, in a louder lone, al the same time shaking the door violently, 'or I'M break lha door down!' " 'Hold on I' exclaimed the voiee within. 'I'll open the door.' "The door was soon opened, when in ruahed the who'e parly, expeoting lo see lhe floor covered with blood -what was their surprise lo find everv

thing in its proper pi toe, and Iwa haw sier oalm and unconcerned. A re vol ver was lying carelessly upon the bed. " 'Who fired that pistol?' dcniuiuli d lhe landlord. "I did r was the reply. "What for?' "Tbe hoosier stepped to the bed. and, throwing down the covering, said, " 'Look here! Do you see this?' "The attetiiion of the party was at once directed to the point indicated, a.tu there, over the whole aurfaco ol the aheet, bed bugs were scampering in every direction, like a flock of tu p frightened by a dog. The landlord was chagrined and puxxled. and looked at the lodger for an explanation. I 'These,' began lhe hoosier, straightening up to his full height, and gesticulating with his right hand in n grandiloquent style, 'these are are my 1 1 i.nds 1 Live Milled an nrmiHticcwith ihem, and wu are on friendly terms; but on the window-sill there, just outside, you will find two infernal big fell, rs that I couldn't do anything with, and so I just put a bullet through 'em. But it's all light now, it's all understood between me nnd my friends here, and we shall gut along well enough now.' "It is needless to add, that the landlord retired to his own bed, visibly crest-fallen, while the spectators ,en joyed ahearty laugh." "Louder." A man lately went to the Post Office, and putting his mouth close up to the delivery box, cried out, "Louder!" The clerk supposing the man to b deaf, and lhal be was making a request for him to speak huder, so t&gJ he could hear, asked him in a loud tone, the name of the person fowhom ho wanted the letter. "Loudetl" cried the man. "W hat name?" yelled lhe cleik. "Louder!" again Lawled the man, who now supposed the clerk to be deaf. The clerk took a long breath, and with all his miithl again bellowed out in the man's face the same question, "what name?" This was done in so loud a tone that the echo seemed lo return from the far off hills. The man started back in alarm, shouting to the very top of his big lungs, "Louder, sir, Louder! I told you Louder! My name is nothing but Louder!" "Oh. ah! oh, ho!" said the clerk, "jour name is Louder, eh? Didn't think of that; here's your letter, Mr. Louder, here 'a your leller." Mr. "Louder" left. When Lieuienan' O'Brian ( who was called Skyrocket Jtck), w blown up at Spith-ad, in the Edgar, he was on the carriage of a gun, nnd when brouhgt to lhe Admiral, all black and wei, he said with pleasantry, "I hope, sir, you will excuse my appearance, for I came out of the ship in 0 great hurry, that Ihad not time to shift for myself." 'Wh.it is the cause of the po talo roi?" "It is attributed to the rot-ti-ttrv influence of the earth." "How was this ascertained?" "By consulting a grc-al many cornmi n-lalers." QT When is a man like the letter B! Aas. When he's in bed.

from Uta Haw Turk Tliaaa. The SlaTory Issue Nothing but Insanity can account for tha manner In which tha Pro-Hlavirv llltrslsts at the South moat tha Issues of the Banding canvass, They luaiatupon making il turn ou tha Intrinsic character ol Hlavery aa a social institution. They boldly pruclalin that Blavgry g right. that It la Justitiell by the law of God anil man, that It la a blessing to the country and (he world, ami that it Is the doty of aur FaJeral Gorerntnent to promote lie ex'anaiun and len.l.-r It per petual. The Riohmund Hmjuirtr and F.xitmt '', ihn two leading organs ol this Souths n eontlmsnt, declare that Hisvrry la the nitu al. moral and only frightful condition ol thn laboring camc every where, of whitaa as wall ao blanke, that (res society is a failure), and that sooner 1 r laler lha experiment Ol free labor must be everywhere abandoned, and Southern Hlavery become lha model and cxampla for tha whole world. Thny acout lha agnllment of Um early faihera ol the Republic, that Hist ery la an evil that il depruaaaa Industry, Iniuoverlaltea lhe anil, drgradca labor, a nd Injures fatally lhe society In which it lakea root.

They r re already railing lor alllanceg anil negotiations looking lo litis end. They are already acheming lor Cuba by purchase or conquest. They ara ihrritenleg Mexico with still further dajnirnioerrnent. They ara projecting trestles with Breill, with Spain, with Russia avtut. lo obtain aid and support In their determination to erect a vast Hlnve Km pirn on tha Westarn Continent The gig iutlr conspiracy by which 1 1 ey ara now seeking to poaaeas themselves of that vast territory lying weat of the Mlaslaalppi a territory larger than lha old thirtren Stales' large enough, if planted with Slavery, to give them control of (he Union for a century 10 come, is .hm tha initial step ol their grand design. W .mi but insanity, tha insanity thtt predii la and precedea destruction , can

prompt such achemea ae tneodl Theae men can know nothing of lha aga in which Ihey live, nothing ol lha luflueuere by which ihey are surrounded, nothing n! the infinencea by which they confront and which they must encounter, in the proaccutlon of their deaigna. They fo-get that Slavery everywhere and nlwnya haa heen thn growth of barbarian), -that it haa receded before civiligaliop, and that it haa alweys disspprtred before the light snd power of Chrtstisnlty. They might ss well hope to stop the sun In its course aa thua to turn buck the dial which marks the progreaaof the race. The conac.ieiice ol the great maaa of the peoplo of this coun.ry Morth snd South (ells them that Slavery ig an evil. that It ia lounded on injustice, that it curses all claaaea who arc implicit in t, and thnt the steady, constant, untiring endeavor of all ahould be to taka measures for it ultimate and peaceful removal. The people of the F iv Hiulea are enanimous in this conviction. Whatever ether opinions msy be uttered by iudividusls here snd there u tiler the pressure ol party necessitiee or of pecuniary interest, there is no mott in the Free States who will consent, in thn last resort, to the practical establiahineiit and recognition of lha doctrine that SI' vers is a blesaing, that it is the rightful condition of society, snd the laboring claaa everywhere should be slaves. The political parly now dominant at the South, and aiming at domination in the Union, proclaim ihis startling aud revolting doctrine. T 1 y aeek to give it practical eff-ct, by extending this "blesaing" into Knnsss, into sll free territory, into the Free States even, and by making ita law the law ol the whoio Republic. They must abandon the attempt, or they iituat perish in it. Whatever temporary success they msy suem te meet, whatever triumphs they msy achieve in Cong en or in Kansas, toey oaenot rrmsh ult'mate coaqaerors in auch s war. There ia a point beyond "Inch Fkeedom will not bt pushed. W lien: that point is, vvc aa y-'t do nol know. But the Slave Power is -eaolved to find it. A few years more of ita policy am. titer Adminislrstion like that wt ich is just expiring a bold push lor '1 Im. like the pre- it pesh for Ksnass, snd the South will find a spirit roused that will pay little heed to constitutions, or veau'd rights, or peculiar institutions of any sort. The events of the last two ye.tra have done mora to create a spirit of hostility to Slavery than the eve 1, Is of A il t T y US pre V ions. Tins l atiment is still held in check. It is slill held subordinate lo tho hope ol peace and harmony. The present Republican movement ia diiected quite ss much sgsinst the ullraism ol Abolition as sgainat the kindred ultrainm of Slavery. If it succieds, the thunder cloud may be dispersed. A timely check may be given to the aggressions of Slavery, which will prevent the occasion lor more direct collision. The Slave Oligarchy at tho South seems blind to all these portents. It is lushing with headlong fury upon issues which it should rather cnuko arty con1 li. a . . ... ceivaoie sarrincc io cvaue. II is in truth tsr more deeply interested in the eleclitti of Fremont, and in the estub liahmeut of the conservative policy he will inaugurate, lhau is the North The North has wealth, population, and Um power to protect its own interests, in the last reaurt; and it will, beyond all 1 queation, do so. It ia not at all disturbed by the menacea of the South, nor in I the least distrustful ol ila ability to maintain ila rights. In all the past its J supreme devotion to the Union has led to concesriona which meiit a far higher appreciation than has been accorded to ihem. It is still disposed to he at peace with Slavery, lo leave it, with all ila "blesainga" and all ila evila, to those who are afflicted with it. But it will never consent to its enthronement on the ruins of the Republic, nor will permit the South either to lorce il on Free States and Territories, or to break up the U niun in order to form a new confederacy where Slavery may reign supreme.

SOUTH SIDE VIEWS. What tht South gnint by thi Rtptal of Tht f Mtouri Cumpromitt. The repeal of thn Missouri restriction is vindicated by eveiy consideration of right and jastiee. But, there are persons of auch sordid impulses and narrow vision, that they appreciate a moaauie of public policy in proportion only to ita yield of visible, palpable and digjetable produet. In lha judgment of euch individuals, the Kansas NebraakA Bill It worth nothing aa an act of atonement to tha Constitution and reparation in lha South. They respect it not at all for the great principles whieh it enunoiAtes And Incorporates in tho polioy of tha Government. Insensible to the finer moral resulta which constitute the aim ol the highest and truest statesmanship, lha grosg appetites of theae politiotsna rejeot tho really preeioua advantages which tha South realties from the re peal of the Missouri restriction Bolls lor instance, apprecialas the true value of that measure about as much as Klagabulus would have relished the neotar and ambrosia of tha Olympian repast. Talk to him of vintiioatlng the integrity of the Constitution, of restoring the Mouth lo its pail vquali ty and dignity in the Union, and you simply provoke a contemptuous ehuekle wiili it 1 1 ymir fine phrasee. Luckily for lha aAtisfaotion, or the confutation, of suoh individuals as Mr. John Minor Bolts, tba Kansas Ne hraska aot is not destitute of ImmedU ate, visible and tangible advanlagt to the Internate of the South. The repeal of tht Missouri restriction, be aides offering atonement and reparation for an affront upon the South. Tim repeal of tha Missouri reairlodon, besides offering atonement and reparation for an affront upon the Sentit, opens the federal domain to tha free expanalou and development of Negro Slavery, Il ia manifest from tha history of the country, during the laat twenty year, that lhe Oonalittulion, in ill practical administration, ia utterly inadequate to the protection of the righta of the South. Indeed, tha powers of the oommon Government are perverted from their benifloient purpose, and are employed as the aolive agtnoies of oppression and spoliation against (he slave holding Stales l he I ,.uih, then, has no olher seeurily but its own capabilities of defence. It is esaen'ial tha proteolion of its rights that il should maintain a power iti lhe Uovornuent equivalent at least to a negative on oppressive, iniquitous and unconstitutional legislation. The Abolitionists have ever had control of a majority of the popular vole. They now hold indisputable ascendancy in the House of Representatives. In tba Senate even the South is in a minority of one Stale; though fortunately a conservative sentiment is still supreme in that branoh of the Federal Legislature. The day is not distant, however, when the six teen Free Stairs will be represented in the Sonate by the political associates of Wilson and Seward; and when Congress will be under the absolute eway of Abolitionism. The South may turn to the Executive but with a scarcely stronger hope of protection. Fremont may not be oleoted but the triumph of hia parly will be postponed only for a single term; unles, meanwhile, the South recover! ita power in the codfederacy, and establishes a counterpoise to the ascendency of Abolitionism This then is the only salvation for the South to recover a self-protect-ing power in the Senate. For, if left to its own impulse, Abolitionism will dejeend upon Slavery with increasing foroe and fury of atlaok; and will ultimately subjugate tbe South or expell it from the Union. How can the South porsess itself of this self-protection powor ? How recover ila ascendency in the Senate? Oregon, Washington, Minnesota and Nebraska, all Free States in embryo, will counterbalance the accession to the South by the division of Texas, even though the North should observe its obligation under the treaty of Annexation. Utah and New Mexico will in all probability send four Ami Sitvery votes to tbe Senate. So much on one side. The only present chance of acces sion to the strength of the South, is the admission of Kansas into the Union with a Pro-Slavery Constitution. In two years, at the farthest, lhat Territory will assume the sovereignty of a State, and in all probability will adopt the institutions of lhe South. Then the South will recover its equality in tho Senate, and will be competent lo the protection of its rigklA. Though incapable of directing the policy of the Government to the end of Slavery propagandises, (which the South desires only for the purposes of self-defence,) it will be fully ju il to the defeat of measures of Free Soil aggression. With Kansas to back it in the Senate, the South can compel the fulfillment f the Texas Treaty, by resisting the admission of other Free States. Wi'.h Kansas to back it in tbe Senate, the South can day the march of Abolitionism, and maintain its own rights and independence for aq indefinite period. But. Kansas would have been a Free State if the Missouri restriction had not been repealed; and instead of augmenting the power of the South, would have recruited the ranks of Abolitionism. Besides, then, the positive f tantage of an accession of strength which the South gains under the operation of the Kansas Nebraska Act, wi- must consider the evils averted as well as the wrongs redressed by the measure, if we would appreciate the full value of its service to Slaver; . In the one contingency the hopes of the patriot are flattered by the prospect of a sectional equilib

rium, and a consequent continuance of the Union. In inn order, he traces A rapid soocoesion of fearful af'eta, from ihn aggrandisement of (he anti-Slavery power to the ultimata aubjugalion of (he South or dinrup lion of tbe Confederaop. Ia ihia connection wa neod acarouly advert to that olhor vital moderation; that with Kansas as a Slave Stale (ha flank of tho South will be completely covered, frum the Gulf of Mexico (o the frontiers of Nebraska and Iowa, and lint thua the institution will be securu Iroin external attack and impregnable in its isolation; while, an the contrary, should Kansas be wrested from our grasp it will become the asylum of the missionaries of Free Soil, who will thence di root their efforts against Miasonrl with irresistible effect, and will ao props gale the poiaon of abolitionism and ao pin .1 '-nie lha buai agfgg of kidnapping, ihut within a very few years Ttunesaee will become a border S ale, an I the very centre of ihn SouiL rn colut in be pierced by the invading forces. It being thua a matter of supreme moment to tlm South that Kaasas shall enter the Union ae a Slave State, the South ahould not depreciate the repeal of the Mlaaourl restriction. In virtue of which lhe inesiii.iahle advantage ia aeourvd to Slavery of perfect protection nnd free development. Shall Tlolenoe Ktlgu. A few days einoe, the Reverend J. B. Finlev, one of tbe oideat Ministers of the Methodist Church and one id lhe beat known, w.ta knocked down at Lewisburg, Preble Co,, for aome pari he was supposed lo have taken in a Fremont meeting. We have seen no eharge lhat ha aald or did anything wrong lie waa simply a violins lo the spirit 0 outrage and- vlah-rce, perpetrated in (his piofessed land ol liberty by the supporters of the slave system. Lewisburg la a small, quiet plaeit, In a rural uounfy, and what happened there may happen ar y where. But, if there ware any nouhi of what spirit pervades tho pro-slavery party, we have it displayed In a hundred other qua (era. Oi Monday we published an account of the murder of two men, an aaaault un unprotected women and ohildrun, by a mob of Irishmen in a village of Indiana. The only oa.isa of this savage conduct was, that a wagon, filh-d mostly with women, was pas , ing along, on winch

Theru was nothing moru aggressive than is dono at'every politoal procession in this country. These are two of the moal recint examples of violence we havu recorded, but they arc only examples. The land is full of them, and far as we have observed, ihey are almost without 1 caption on one side. It is the proslavery side, which, enraged at the danger of failure, and excited by the experience of its wrongs, reaorts to insult, outrage nnd violence. We) had first the high precedent of n bul-1 Iv striking a Senator in the Senate 1 Hall. Then n hud rape, robbery,! murder and assassin aiion in Kansas Then we have buoksilltrs banished from Alabama, mechanics from Caro lina, and ciliiens from Virginia. And lastly, in this peaceful Ohio, in a quiet; country town, wo have a venerable minister of lit, Gospel bludgeoned. All this has one, and one only cause, ' that men have-dared to exercise free-1 dom of speech towards one of the great wrongs of the land ! Alheiguti have blasphemed the living God. and dark iniquities are daily committed, yet we hear of no one mobbed or j murdered on that account. It is only Slavery which claims 11 sacred immunity from all accountability ! Heaven - - - - j may be scoffed und laws derided, bul let no one dare to speak for freedom! The violence which now reigns in this sountry commenced in Congress, j when Herbert was allowed to shoot down a waiter and go unpunished, when Brooks could beat it Senator alums' to death ami be fe tsted, praised, and flatternd, for his act, and when such men as these could find what the world calls honorable Associate in Congress, then full play was given to the possession ol the rude and Violent. A half dozen intoxicated, swaggering bullies can bo found any-, where to club a decent man, or knock down a clergyman. When shall (his I cease ? Wu can tell when il will noli cease. Il will not seeae till freedom of speech is established everywhere' and anywhere in this land. The' American freeman is not made of such j soft stuff that he will yield lo bul l' s and swaggerers. Fret dom of speech, however, will never be fully established while slavery b lives it btaii prevail, till it is instituted within its own inn 1 its, the same spirit of intimidation will be continued. Our country was never filled with so much violence as it is now. Let 1 every man look At thn cause. Let1 him see where it belongs, who does it, lor whatpuipose, and be will have; btfore him one of tbe most perfect j pictures ever exhibited of the real; effect of great moral wrong in degr 1 ding the human character and ei tendiug its influences through all the convents of liberty. We have a class j of people who say, that il nothing is said about any of the great wrongs of' the world, nobealy will be offended. Of course not. The darkest sin ol human her. t is not offended when the conscience is asleep; when the world obstat ves it not; when no accuser calls it ia oueslion. "Let il alone" The lime for that policy is past. The moral controversies of mankind will io on. till the right prevails Itj is by the pre.valance of the right only that we can end the controversy and J produce peace. Let us then press on, j and if the victory comes not to-day, i t will coma belter and brighter to-morrow. Cin Gob.
