politics aud cotton theology have caught tile
wind MS well as cotton sails. Why not cot
ton cordage? lf cotton cordagc is hal! as
good for hanging traitors as cotton theology
and cotton patriotism are for making them,
hemp ought to be suspended. Won't the
Union Commilte TRY IT? Some of them,
who have been the most intimate with cot
ton have suspended; but ought they not to
hang in suspense? Ii any of them have
mind TO try it, we will. intercude for the
other conveniences requisite, so that they
shall be at 10 expense. But every consld-
Grafton requires that they should Use cotton.
Judas tried hcmp, and the rope broke. We
trust that they will so far deviute from his
Interesting experiment of selling his master
at n bargain, as NOT to throw away the thirty
pieces of silver, and not to try hcmp. Give
us the money, for the relief of fugitive slaves,
aud take good COTTON for halters and, II
they love their country, DO let them take
cotton that won't BREAK!
As for ourselves, while we rcgnid rob
berry aud ordinary murder as in bad taste,
we begin to have II penchant for ireason.--
THAT is getting TO be gentlemnniy allur.
There. for example, nre the Irish traitors

the British Government, at one time, was rs
intent upon hanging as Our friends nt Wash

Syracuse traitors. Then, Poland has had
mullitudcs of traitors, aud the Car of Rus
sia has tucked them away by hundreds I'M

WE have no scruples in joining any process

prize the privilege of adding something To
the joy, or soothing the nobly borne and
heroic gricls of Louis kossnth, than of any
single man OF modern days! lie is a traitor,
quite to our conception of patriotism. \

of liberty which is MS strong as lie ITSELF
aud u Willingness to suffer- to labor aud ell

But we know that we are singular. II is
but frank to site that many of our most
venernted clcrgymen, WHO were ordained of
God TO teach men 10 ridicule Gods law
when it comes in conflict with mems laws
differ from us. Ofcoursc they will refuse
to take part in any ovation of Kossuth.

Now, let us suppose That n committee OF
