The time has been when higher morality than

tcles Of the most influential organs of the Wing
Party but the aPOsacy of the leaders, has corrupted
the satellites; and it is not 10 be wondered at, that

unfortunately for these maligners of Mr.. Thompson
and his motives, the speech which he had intended
to have given, was written down beforehand, aad

We copy few brief exstracts from the speech as
published, without any revision from the author and
ask our readers canddIy to Judge if for the utter
of such sentiments as these the threat of the
New York Express should be carried out, and s'the
country made too hot to hold the man who utters
them
Mr. Thompson is speaking of the political institu
lions of his oUn country, and says:
Sour system is fetid dunghil, out of which
springs with frlghlGul luxurance, under the warm
sun of every general election, all kinds of rank
weeds and poisonous plants. 1t is stagnant resel-
vor OF patrld water, breeding from year to year ey-
cry perniclous exhaaton, and all sorts of noxious
reptiles TO find their way at every election INTO the
regions OF pollution and niquity, and which are al
ways to be traced by the htiy ''''f0 'Hcy eave be-
| hind them -
This sounds very much like the language of
feed agent of the British Government, it must be
confessed. He refers to Miss chusetts and to Mr.
Webster, as follows:
Massachusetts has not forgotten the Col that
guided the Mayfower to Plymouth rock-anl thopgh
1 the peerless intellect of Massachusetts NAV sufar
from the stroke of Southern SUM- the heart of the
Old Bay State is soun, and still beats responsive to
the instincts Of nature, the dictates of humanity.
and the claims of the trembling outcast who asks a
shelter her soi''
Relative to bis advocacy of slavery emancipation
here, he speaks as follows
''lf II be imputed to me that have identified
myself with those who held in slavery on this
SOIL and have sought TO promuIgae the doctrines of
emancipation, acknowledge the Justice of the i'm
parchment, and plead guilty. My offence reaches
TAR beyond the limits Of The United Suites. NV as
plratons for freedom wide as the soil polluted
by the footprints of a tyrant In advocating the
rights OF humanity, know of no geographical foan-
danes walk upon Gods earth, among Gods
chlldren and wherever | see one of them smitten
down, will denounce the aggressor, and demand
the deliverance of the captive.''
lie makes an extract from the speech of Mr..
Webster at the Hungarian dinner, reIatiye 10 Kos
suh and the Austrian Government, and substituting
Crafts for Kossuth and the South for Austria nakes
it read as follows:
81 see that the South demands of Massachusetts
that the noble Crafts and bis equally noble compan
ION should be gwen up, and see that this demand
Is IN derlsion of the established law of nations
Gentlemen, there Is something on earth greater than
arbitrary or despotic power. The lightning has its
power, and the whliwnd has It's power but there ia
something among men more capable of shaking des-

That Is the threatened Indignation of the whole
civilized word.''
