Non Italia AuXiliO.

We have been mortified, grieved and dlsgusteu'
at the attempt of the organs OF the old jackson
party to participate ln or rather 10 turn 10 lnei
narfv account the risings of correct sentiment I'D
,he community towards Henry Clay, as duellst
Il s a subject which does not belong to thenl' anu
their meddng with it does no good but hurt
Mr.. Kendall has recently put forth two tracts on
the subject, dwelling strongly on the lmmorality
of dueng, and the consequent unhthess OF auue!-
list to receive the sutfrages OF VirtuouS couilul
~ And vet, Mr. Kendall was always support
er of Gen. jackson, who was not only duel'5t
int had killed man, which Mr.. Clay never did;
to be sure he tried and could not. And he is now
publishing Il life Of Gen. Jackson, IN when ne
dwells, with vast complacency upon the Generais
success and frmness in that deed OF bood' ny
which the wife of Dickinson was made WHO"
and his children orphans. ;.o,,-
The democratic papers of the North are crou
lating these things, and trying to gain by deh1uH-
cling Mr.. CLAY, although it is in evidence that tnelr
leaders had trained CilIey for the DUEL III Iul eA
incarnation that he would kill Graves, instead OF
Graves killing him. And the whole party are out
in full cry against Mr.. Clay for his duellng, when
it is well known that the democrats VIII g1ye tleli
votes for Vice president either to Polk or hlhg Oh
Stevenson-ALL DUELLISTS!
Now, this is like Daniel Webster's PREACHING
before the Supreme Court in defence OF the Chrls
tan reigon-an offence against decency as WEI
as good fathas disgusting to taste as 1t is snock
ing to morality. 1t does hurt. hey ouSnt u
let this matter alone. The public sense revots a
it, and the whole tendency of it is to produce re
action in favor of Clay. If Clay gets the vote
single New England State, it will be IN cohse
ouence of this impcrtinence of that party, IN mea
ding with what does not belong to them:
ProcMi Oprocul! This is our question. Du
cling is at once the support Of slavery, ana sup
ported bv slavery. The moral influence that ma
driven dueng clear out of the free States has no
made the slightest impression upon it IN the slaV
States The law of duelling is just as absolu ~
there now, as it was when Simons fell, ana MI
Dufie put on his wadded silk cloak to hght Col
Cummings. Why? Because slaveholdlng' lse
system of violence, sustalns the spirit OF V'olehc'
and because the readiness to take lie Is an esSeL
tial element acknowledging society.
Even the Wings have sense enough TO see III;
this is our question. And hence, in all their pr
pers, they make controversy on this subject ON
with the democrats. They cannot meet the LII
erty Party on this point. And If the democ[at
papers will let it alone, and thus compel the W NJ
papers to meet the Liberty Party IN clear mel
we can, by Gods blessing, do something TO reco
er the moral sense Of the North to the old Stal
dard of Beecher's and Humphreys sermons; b
we cannot consent to recognize as fellow lahore
a man like Amos Kendall, who has Just pubilsn'
his admiration of Gen. Jackson for his duel WI
Dickinson, nor any others who adhere to par
that sustains and designs to elevate whole rost
of duelists Non tall auXilio. We shall nave
such help. The Liberty Party, having men
pure from dueIling as they are from slavery, u
cause of dueIling is alone called and alone htted
this warfare Morning Chronicle
