Needless Denunciation.

The editor of the Bangor Gazette says that
he has received, occasionally, letters, inquiring
why he does not write such pungent and Sc
we're articles on the subject of slavery as ap-
pear in some of the nti-slavery papers, and
that he hears that some Of his fastest friends,
and the conductors of some of the other lib
erty papers, suspect him of wavelng. He
defends himself by saying that he writes ''not
to punish men for their SINS" nor "merely to
crafty those who see, in strong light, the
crimes and misdemeanors of shareholders and
doughfaces." He admits that such deserve
severe reproach, and that it gives sort of
pleasure ''to throw them on the rack; )" but he
asks, "what is the uses' He says
I'VE write to persuade-to convince-to
win men to embrace the truth in relation to
this great question: and to unite for the reno
val of this monstrous evil. The
man who deals with children must remember
how he felt as child; so he that deals with
prejudiced men, must remember how he felt
when under the same dominion. This we en-
deavor to do; and we are quite sure the pub
lie mind is better reached, and more effectually
moved by arguments and facts, than by decla
nation and invective.'
There is a good deal of truth in what the
Gazette says Invective and severe denunci-
alton are sometimes necessary, but it does not
follow that the man who deals the most in
these, is the greatest enemy to the evil he
processes to oppose, or the warmest friend of
~ bo, - ~
men that always do the most to advance a
cause. They may do something perhaps a
great deal. but after all, the men who go calm
ly to work, and keep continually at work, are
the men who, on the whole, will do the most
Such men, at times, may be accused of want
ing soul, or of being heartless towards the
cause, by those who make flaming speeches
and bitter denunciations the test of sincerity,
but in the time of apathy on the subject, they
will show that if their feelings are not so ar
dent they are at least deeper, and their course
more consistent. Such men, it is true, will
sometimes use the most severe language, but
it will be used when reason shows that it is
absolutely needed, when other means are like
ly to fall but they know how to temper their
remarks so as to accomplish the object they
have in view. They see when the lance will
do more good than the plaster, and they apply
it with a steady and determined hand but
they do n OF Unfortunately bleed every pa
tient that comes under their care, nor the same
patient under all stages of his disease. At
one time it may be necessary to denounce a
man in the warmest terms, in order to arouse
him and then it may be necessary to speak
in manner that shall show him that, while
you detest his course, you bear him no per-
sonal malice, but are willing to welcome him
as a friend, as soon as he shall have renowned
his evil ways. Such was the course pursued
in many places, by the Washingtcnian Re-
formers, and in such places the cause has pros
pered the best.

Debate in the House on the War.

Debate in the House on the War.
We give below a somewhat fuller report of
the debate in the House, on the Dist, as it is
of considerable interest:
After the transaction of some unimportant
business, the House resumed tie consideration
of the special order of the day, viz:-the
resolution of Mr.. w. A. Richardson, of
Illinois, proposing that the prosecution of the
war in Mexico be continued.
Mr.. Stevens, of Georgia, offered substitute,
proposing that the troops of the United
States Army be withdrawn from Mexico; and
that negotiations on the subject of indemnity,
such as had been suggested by Mr.. Clay, in
his late speech, at Lexington. be opened with
Mexico
The substitute was warmly debated by
Messrs. Bolts, of Va, Toombs, of Ga, and
other speakers
Mr.. Bolts spoke at length in support of the
resolution which had been proposed as a sub
stitute, and argued with much earnestness
against the war, WIllcil ne ueclarSu W oe uu-
lust and uncalled for-and that it was such a
war as had been provoked by American ag-
erosion, being brought about by the un-
authorized acts of President Polk. In the
course of his remarks, Mr.. B. took occasion to
denounce with much severity the course pur-
sued by the President in relation to the prose-
cution of the war, which he severely scruti-
nized and condemned.
Mr.. Thompson, of Indiana, in the course of
the debate, proposed that negotiations should
be entered into with Mexico, in relation to
Upper California, Monterey, the bay of San
Francisco, and that final measures should be
adopted, with view to determine and mark
out the boundaries between Mexico and the
United States-such boundaries as would Sc
cure full indemnity to the United States, by
the acquisition of territory and that would
remain a permanent boundary between the
two countries.
Mr.. Toombs, of Georgia, was opposed to all
territorial acquisitions or conquest, of any
portion of Mexico. He argued that the
movements of the American army, directed by
the President resulted in producing the war,
and after some further discussion, the whole
subject was laid over.
