New Hampshire had good cause TO be
ashamed Of her Charles Gag Alherton, bat
she has more cause 10 he ashamed Of her CO.
lionel CiIley for the latter, while making
heaven-high professions Of his love for Free
dom aud his reverence for Constitutions
rights, %tramples both into the dust. The
longer that party exists OF which Colonel
Cilley is worthy member, the more fully is
it developing its corruption and rottenness Of
heart.
One of the petitions which the Liberty
party Senator rejected has been sent 10 Thos.
Corwin of Ohio, another to John c.. Calhoun
Of South Carolina and it yet remains to be
seen whether the representative OF the Wings
of Ohio, and the leader of the South Carroll
ma Nullifers, and defender of slavery, will
treat the petitioners with as lille respect as
the representative Of Liberty party--with less
they cannot.
Or The Boston Olive Branch, in an arti-
Gle respecting a meeting of the Disunionists,
thus remarks upon the speakers in attendance
in particular and the Dlsunionists in gene
raj:
elf treason consists in endeavoring to stir
up a community 10 rebellion against the laws
and the government, why are not these lead
ers indicted for the offence of treason? In
the judgment of law and good sense they are
guilty, and should be dealt with accordingly,
and we sincerely hope that the powers that
be- will make it their business to drive from
our midst such an intolerable nuisance. Such
kind of meetings are a libel upon the princi-
plies of abclitionism; there is no aboli,ionism
in them. IN these meetings. speakers or ra-
ther ranterS gather together for no other pur-
pose but TO assail the public ears with their
blackguardism, and TO rail against and libel
our laws and our Constitution. They have
long been borne with TO reason with them
is ont of the question; they have been made
the subjects OF satire, and still they persist
now as a last resort, and the only way in
which their treas Jnable course can he arrest
ed, we say, let them he indicted! Who Sc
conds our motion !"
Aye, indeed who seconds the motion
Who votes for indicting the Disunionists
Arguments are bullet proof, swords cannot
cut logic, nor can indictments overthrow the
truth. The editor Of the Branch must have
to imagine that in them is invested all thu
rights which belong to humanity, that theI
are Gods vicegerenis upon earth. He say
"They (rhe Disunionists) have long bee
borne with" just as if they had not as goo,
"a right freely to express their opinion as h
has to give utterance to his. ITO reasol
with them is out of the question" Glad h
rightly appreciates the weakness Of his argu
mcnts and The strength Of ours. "They hav
been made The subjects of satire, and still
they persist" This surely is very unrea
sonable, and they must be great i%gnoramuse
not to know that when the editor of the DIV
Branch s~atirizes them they should immedi
ately drop their arms and cry for quarters
} Strange that men who cannot be foiled by al
gument should not yield to satire, but si
= persist in their reasonable course; but thank
S to the Spirit of Domination, there is yet a
alternative, there remains a last resort,
f dietment for treason! This he declares is III
only way they can be successfully met. Ii
: the experiment be made, and the editor wi
find that those who have the right in an argl
menl, who cannot be driven from their pos
: ton by satire, will not be very likely to
frightened by an indictment.
