""" The Richmond Palladium La, forcearly thirty ,enT tattled for almost the same identic! princii Ie which now cctstitnte the platform of the crest Republican party, with how much ability lad consistency, the old friend of freedom, and the enemies of political cortsptioo in the democratic parly, can testify. During the comitg jear, great political evente are to transpire; we tre to elect a President and Tice President of the United States, which it-volves tie success of the great irincipIeatF00 wticb tU rj i8tfccce f our govertmect is baaed. Upon the result of it w to rest tLesupicmacy.of haman rights and the free and ertn! government of our people. It will determine nhet'atr as oligarchy of slaveholders, constitutim lesa than cce Sfteenth part of cur j opulation are to control the rights of our pccple, or whether 25 000,000 of people are capable of governing the .EVii.s of the country in toch a maimer to secure to every cit'zen his constitutional and natural rights. It is to determine wLether freedom or slavery is to be the great and ruling idea in our boasted land of freedom. How important U it, then, that every hgitimate and honorable means rhould be adopted to carry forward the great work which in the coining contest rests upon every friend of our country and ita free institutions. We have also to elect next jear, a Governor, a State Legislature, and officers of State. Upcn the Legislature will devolve the important duly of determining whether our State bLallhereriter be misrepretented in the Senate of the United States, or whether Indiana thall there tpeak forth the tree sentiments of a free people whether Indiana shall then bow down in slave like subservien cy to the powers that be, or proudly stand to the rights of her people. If the democratic party fcbou'd elect its candidate for Governor, and a legislature which thall prove as reckless as the laat, Indiana may again feel herself weighed down by State debt, and the re-asumption of the ownership of the Wabash and Krie Canal. To secure the bonds of Indiana ior 5, ,000,0t0, the present j owners of the Canal could well afford to expend j 2,000,000 in bribing members of the Legislature, j and who can vouch that that sum would not bay j np scch a legislature its the democracy would I elect if they had the power. We believe the at-; terr.pt will be mude, if the same rec kle ss men who constituted the last legislature are agaiu electyd, j a r.d that they will succeed in that attempt to place an iccrtace of $7,000,000 to our present j State debt Money and powerare the controlling j ibtluttices with the present leaders of the deuic j cratic p irty, and to secure this they would sacri- , Ece the rights of any people. j A mpmher of Congress for this District, is also to be elected next year. lie should be the representative of the mind and heart, and the great interests of our people. Important County officers are to be elected iu October next, and they should be liepublicaus, good and true. Ia view, then, of the important and exciting po- j litical even's which are to transpire the coining year, ail must Fee the ncccs-ity for the general d;f- J fusion cf political light and knowledge. All! . -u., i And in deciding the question, what papers) ought to be circulated by oar party, we think ' there generally can be but one opir.ion as to the importance of giving the first and principal sup-' port to their home paper?.

Under an invitation from the Junior Sons of America, Mr. Giddings delivered a lecture ! in Starr 1111 on Friday evening last, on the t Power and Duties of Human Government." i The Hall was crowded on the floor and gal-; lery, and we have never seen so large an au-' dience so atteutlvc as was this. Oa enter-! ing the Hall and wueu he aose to speak he was received with an applause which indica-j ted the partiality of political friends, and ad- ' mircrs. He dis.ussed io a masterly man-' ner the fundamental principles of govern-1 ment, as laid down in the declaration of American Independence and as sustained by' the fathers of our constitution. His text was that -all men are entitled to life, liberty ' and the pursuit f happiness," and enforced' the troth of the text by soma logical reason-' ing and eloquent illustrations.

There is no evidence that a Speaker will 1 ... i ; be elected in Congress within the next ten days, and perhaps we might say ten months; i . , -i -m .i but we have fa.th that fcherman will yet be elected.

The tr:eat absorbing topic of conversatiun has , been, for the last six or eight weeks, the Har--per'8 Ferry tragedy. It ia a subject uniergoing i debu'e in our school houses; and in ail cases' which have come under my observation, I find that there is but one side to the question iu public opinion. In other wordj, the Virginia side of the question has to select speakers, from the lack ot volunteer? this shows how the public pul vibrates fur old John Lrown. I John Brown well, having passed many j davs acJ Lights iu his company, and I have a wa' coa9j jerej Lim an extraordtr.ary maa. There U no character in history which so well j tiortraV'i the characteristics of John Brown as ; 1; ron:well. Xh09e who have rtacharacter since his imprisor.isent at liar- : pers Ferry, can form a just estimate cf his renl man.

John Brown and h:B family have done moch for Kansas, lliamemm remeu.brauce by thousands as the Trund cf freedom. a:;d the ck-jil y er.emy of human oppression. Those who knew ltrowo niofi ii.timatelv, are those who most regret his sudden exit, un") the fully or attempting the liar- j p. r's Firry enterprise. I heard the old tuau ( ahO'it one yearsluce. j isr as he was leaving our territory remark that he did not expect to die a natur.d death, hut when thn time did come, he expected to die with a sword in his tight hand From this and like remarks I of co use concluded that the old maa was uot done wilh the slave . power, but inteuded to devote the remainder of ; his lifts to the cause of the slave. ; I must tive you one remark, which fell from j the lips of John" Urown. us it gives, as I believe, a . coireet view of his character; and of coure cor.- : I trudicts the statement so frequently made thro' ' 1 the public press, viz: that he ww actuated by the ; -psrir of rrrrn.ee In tlm full or 158 it. was re- ! irtd that Martin White ("who killed his eon; Fieileriek in cold blood) was shot in Missouri j Yt, I see it so reported; it is uot so, and I feel j sorrv'to think tiial people -would for a moment , believe that I would seek revenge ou Martiu ' White he is a bad man, but sinco he has left j our territory and gone home to his fa:ri!y ; I J would not sro oti; rod to hurt a single hair of his j hf-al; 1 Jo not harbor the epirit of revenge.

Oi.e word on Brown's insanity. Mr opinion from eis .nal observation aud knowledge, is that John !rown was a man of i.)nud mind. That he wea an cnthnsiastic on the subject of human rights, I hubt not.

Branch, declining the offer to decide bv single combat tho difference between them, will do him honor wherever it j is reaa. Among me ii' which prevail in that part oi our country i where one race of men hold another in bjndae, is that of oing out to fight by the way of bringing a quarrel to a conclusion usiu tiv.iral means to terminate a difierence ol nat'ure. It is not at all surprising that, in those places where farce is the motive by which oue half of tho population are made to render obedience and service to the other, force should bo held in such respect that it is called in to arbitrate iu disputes, as i done among savages. Here, iu the free States, we take a different view of the matter, and our people are educated to detest the custom of duelling as barbarous, immoral and anti christian. When men of the North are sent as representatives of the Free States to Washington, we should requiie them to behate as representatives ot the North in all respects- -they should represent what is right in our morals as well a what is liuht in our politics; that they should not allow themselves to be seduced into any connivance at practices which their education aud the concurrent testimony of cm, od men of all countries and their own consciences teaoli them are wrong. They should not permit themselves to be barbar ized by their associations with any class oi men whom they may tiud at the seat of government.
