APOLoGlsING FOR THE INSULT.

The Federal papers at the east under the
influence of the British party, have become
alarmed, N consequence ofths evidences of
popular Indignation which spontaneously fol-.
lowed the perpetra'iOn ofihe deliberate insult
offered TO The American people, and their n a.
tional institutions, at the Ashburton dinner.
Bu'. after The avowals that had been made, The
attempt TO appologise only ADDS 10 the insult.
Better stick to the Truth, as first admitted, than
10 say now, that il was merely an accidenll-
that the neglect Of the company 10 notice the

constructor you can put this version is, that
when their own country was Dsmed. that name

captain DOffy's letter, giving hs views Of The


late conspiracy:
H'All the o'd offences, and nlllhe former fol-
lies and iDcoIsistencles Of the discordsnt
mass, have been swallowed upIn the deyel-
opemenIs of few months past. The leaders,
by their recent movements, have fully exposed
themselves 10 the merled od,unl OF the peo-
pie, and to the indignant contempt Of every
patriotic man in their ranks. If nothing had
previously occurred. do maintain, that The
late conduct Of The Wing members ofIhe Leg
islaIHe, is of itself sufficient cause for the
withdrawal Of Of every man from oil connec-
ton with their party, who is at heart repub-
ican, or who desires the perpeinly Of our
free institutions, or who has the commoQ sense
10 discern what would be The consequences of
such a dsstardly revolutionary trick, if ever il
should be sanctioned by the people Their
proceedings have been cailed revolutionary
and so they were; but stN, there wanted even
that revolutionary dignity, that show Of lear
lessness, and and that plea of justices which
has alone s4nch6ed the term.
This wasindeed q trick Of body Of disap-
pointed and silly minded school boyp, about TO
be subjected, Hs they may have feared, to
some new and wholesome discipline, under
the TlHUltul duluuINyptNH NoItutuiy w nun "

who had the lesst,regard for his reputation as

feeIiDg--no man, in fine who aspred 10 the
responsible and honorable station Of repre-
sentative Of aftee people and who, say, un-
dsrstood his duties as such uuder the consti-
tuiou, could have been guilty Of trick, at once
go eubversive Of conventional and legislative
proprety, and go debasing and humlialing 10
blmsef as an individual. 10 my opinion. it
was dastardy and silly contirsance Of the
whip leaders at which no man should be alarm
ed, for all may remember 10 have seen many
nearly similar efforts OF mighty wing genluses
,before, and also 10 have seen them ell over
turned by the wisdom and independence Of the
people. But do contend that the course Of
The Wings al the late extra session, and the
conduct OF the party, in their efforts to sustain
that course, is saffcicient 10 induce all men
who love their country and her institutions,
more than The love faction and factous leaders.

Mr.. Duffy edited the Ohio Freeman, which
supported Henry Clay for the Presidency, with
great ability. We hear every day Of Trom-

BURGLARY AND PROBABLE MURDER In NEW BRUINS
wloK.--We understand that three negroes entered
the residence of Mr.. John Monfort, about mile
and half from New Brunswick, N. j., on Saturday
night last, and after beating MIR. M. until they be-
ieved him dead, succeeded in robbng the house of
a small amount of money, with which they de-
camped. The villains first barbarousy attacked
Mrs. Monfort, who fortunately leaped out of win
dow, and with difficulty escaped to neighbours.
The scoundrels were subsequently traced to their
haunts in the suburbs of the town, and upon being
arrested yesterday, Mrs. M. instantly srecognized
one Of them, who thereupon Immediately confessed
the deed. 1t was rumored that Mr.. M had died OF
the wounds received
