Fifth District.

We trust that there is occasion for say a word
to the electors of this District to induce them give
hearty decided, and trust, triumphant support to
! JUDGE ALLEN. In times like these, we want more
such in the councils of the nation. Able fearless
! decided, and uncompromsng, all questions of prin-
cple he is nevertheless his Opponents and
by his conscientious rectitude he their conf
dence and respect. We assured that such has been
emnently the case, during the exciting scenes of the
last session. In him. too, have true champion for
FREEDOM and the RIGHT in whom all repose the
most implicit reliance,
We regret that the speech made by Judge Allen, on
the slavery questions, reported, because it is
pronounced by those who heard it, one of great ptnq
ency and power, and the omission to publish it, has
been seized upon by of the hunhcrs as a means
of disparaging his efforts in the cause. When the
debate published in the Globe, full abstracts
of the other speeches given, but of Judge
Aliens it said that it would be published entire
in few days. Such is the custom of that paper
in relation to the leading speeches in such Debates
The speech, however, published To an
inquiry of the publishers of the Globe, why it was not
published, the answer given, that from the method
ica arrangement and careful consideration and construc
ton of the speech, the reporter supposed it was one
which had been written out and committed as is the
practice with Winthrop and Others and he there
fore omitted to make report, intending rely on Judge
Allen for copy. But Judge Allen never prepares
his speeches in that way and would not attempt to write
out from recollection, and give the actually
spoken no report ever published. Judge Allen was
fully prepared to speak the fugitive slave bill, and
would have done it, but for the gag which prevented any
discussion of that measure.

parison between Judge Allen and Judge Barton and to
show that the latter right in his predictions

the former. Aside from any special pleading in the
matter the very clear, and requires argument
Judge Allen predicted disastrous consequences the
of freedom and free soil from the abandonment of
its principles by the Wing party in The nomination of
Gen. Taylor instead of Northern man. Have not all
his fears in that respect, bean more than realized!
When, and under what administration, has slavery ever
made such fearful encroachments under the present
Judge Barton the other hand, made all fair weather,
and predicted the successful results to the of
freedom from the election of the Wing ticket and was
going to have good protective tariff thrown into boot
Have his predictions been realzedi On the contrary,
after the South had used the Wings in Congress
ry their slave measures, they snubbed them off very
summary on the tariff question, voting il down thout
the least ceremony.
As TO any comparison between Judge Allen and JUDGE
Barton, to their relative qualifications and fitness r
the office, shall not undertake it. 1t is require
1t is the last thing that Judge Barton or his friends
would wish to have done, and from the really kind fee-
ngs which entertain towards him, it is the last thing
that, under existing circumstances, should think Of
doing. The wings have nominated him as compile
ment for his abors in AS and for the purpose of
having candidate to throw away their votes upon,
without the remotes idea Of eecting him. He will an
swer that purpose as well as any other man, and SO we
let him pass
