MIR. EAYLY's DEFENCE.

MR. EAYI.Y'S DEFENCE.
Tho courage Of the representative of the Accomac Distrc
bay, seen objected 10 BY some Of his constituents nc ha
come forward in sefGeence, 10 give an account o. III
Stewardship He casts blame on those who voted DIT
fereny from himself under the suggestions Of patFioH'
duty-but simply proceeds TO vndcae his own course ae
frankly appeal constituency who never have deserted
him. As Judge e. and ourselves occupy exactly the SAINT
position on this question: and as our course mas Dech
Cd eouoy with his own we take occasion to adopt the de
fence which he has put forth II will be seen that he places
tho question ON very strong and in respects orgna
ground The Texas bill he shows 10 be not only no INJURY
10 the South, but an actual gain, in removing tie anil
,vc,v restriction from Ill the territory north OF 81 So over
which previously extended by The resolutions OF texas
onreyntion The California bill is properly condclnned-bu
tina, act should not be made the canse OF c!ssolvnS inc
rniona step which, without nfordns redress to the Sou'
i coue the institutions of the only Republic in the wofe
10 20 down in blood, and will clohc in sackcloh anu
ashes the friends of free government throughout inc
world But no comments are necessary 10 cohi'ehu ''e
views Of Judge B. the Virginia reader. lie discusses e
question calmly and reasonably and leaves tie decision TO
the people OF Virginia by whose verict he properly pledges
himself 10 stand.
Soon after reading Judge BIS circular we saw in the New
York Evening Post long letter from Mnthu'n ioHpShs'
prominent free soer which ercely denounces the Demo-
cratic Convention of thai State for having I'VE qno'e '
language of their resoluon Congratulated the country
unon the recent settlement by Congress Of the questions
which have unhappy divided the people Of these States
We make nm extract from Mr.. Us letter II will be seen
that he bitterly amens the discontinue and defeat oil the
free sellers in Congressby the passage of these measures
The whole fee soil party The North take the same view,
and their united and malignant dcnunciaon should furnish
some evidence that the South has not lost every thing o
the recent measures Of adjustment.
The mDemocracy" to whom he refers, ara tho Barno"5n
ers who supported Martin Van Buren, in l9ls:
~ wish TO know what of congratulaton tho De
mocracy of this State can find in the settlement alluded TO-
other tho admission OF California as Stao Oh s
Union Is BE- found in the passage OF the different Ter
ritosial bills without the Jelersonian Proviso

immense oil territory and The people Of this country

Of Congress- an who have sustained discontinue and de-
feat Were not such discontinue and defeat sufficiently
grevous Should they have been spared the insult con
veycd in this congrla!ory resolution In vain may ife
democracy seek for ot congratnaton unless tiey
seek for IL the passage of The Fugitive Slave BILL IL
must have been in anticipation Of the final pnssage OF ths
democratic BILL that tho Convention found such great cause
for congraua.ion. That the democratic relation between
master and slave is be severed by short endurance
By the slave da.i-dsmG ra state OF liberty, was no
doubt considered By tho convention asa great CON
graduation. But probably this was not the on cause We
democrats be congratulated on The privilege we 3D.
