FiftI, District.

We trust that there is no occasion forus say word
to the electors Of this District, induce them to 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 uncompromsing all questions of prin-
cpe he is nevertheless courteous to his opponents and
by his Conscientious tctitude, he secures their conf
dence and respect We assured that such has been
emineny the case, during the exciting scenes of the
last session In him, too we 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

ency and power, and the omission to publish it, has
been seized upon by some Of the hunxers, as means
Of disparaging his efforts in the cause. When the
debate was published in the Globe, full abstracts
OF the other speeches were 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, never published. To an
inquiry OF the publishers Of the Globe why it was not
published, the answer was giyen that from the method
zeal arrangement and careful consideration and consruc-
ton OF the speech, the reporter supposed it was one
which had been written out and committed. as il the
