AMUSING The Hartford Times tory a,
: quoted by the Democrat is Mortified that Mr.
Wise, the man who was concerned in the
Ciiiey duel as a second, should dare to dis
charge his duty as member of the House Of
Representatives and take part in the efforts
making TO expose the misconduct of the adj
I; ministration and its officers The party that
supported Gen. Jackson, who has been engog.
) ed in more rencontres than almost any Other
man in the countryside party who sent Ste
venson, the duellist, as our Minister 10 Eng
land-the party to aohich Ciley himself be-
ionged, who was principal in the same duel
with Wise,-yes, this party are filed with
horror at the very mention Of the name OF
Wise. And well they may be, for no man has
done more than he to expose them. Says the
Times, "It is too much for Mr. Wise to ex-
pect the moral and peaceful people Of New
England to forget at once that cool and dread
ful murder, that inhuman butchery, that worse
than midnight assassination of iona. Cilley."
Aye And who was Cilley who chose the
murderous rifle for the weapon, with which he
was well skilled, and who praetised necessarily
previous TO the due2 He was Loco Focos
And what if Cilley had been successful and
killed his antagonist, would the Times have
expected "the moral and peaceful people Of
New England TO forget it"2 We trow Mr..
Cilley's constituents would not have forgotten
it. We abhor dueling-but we despise hy-
pccricy And if the locos can find no better
antidote than such as the Times proposes, to
counteract the exposures Of Wise, we think
they will hardly succeed with the intelligent
people of New England eff by any chance
his brawling should cease, it would be for the
interest of our party to hire him to go on"
continues the Times. Why then oppose him
i Why be so sensitive under his lash. Men are
not icont TO be so iTritdted at that phich adj
RANGES their interest.
DTWe have not file of the Democrat for
reference, nor time TO make out the account
current which the editor speaks of; but il
would give us pleasure to see stated, the sub
stance Of his former articles in regard 10 the
Illinois election, side' by side with an account
Of the actual result, as proved from votes in
the Legislature. Delaware might also, il
agreeable, be included in the same article.
4 Mr.. ADAMS AND ABoLrTIoN.--It seems that
John Quincy Adams dsclaims being an abo-
litionist. See the Washington Conespon-
dence in another column. We hardly see
how he can reconcile his declaration in Con-
gress with his recent letter to the Rhode Island
abolitionists.
