The n. Y Herald says of this event:
4 LovING PAIR.-Gcrrit Smith aud Joshua
Il. Giddings--ho one the guardian of Fred.
Douglass; the other the particular terror Of
Horace Greeley, but both rank uboitionists,
Will form striking feature of the nexl Con
gress. II is due to Gerril, however, to say
that he is II practical phianthrOpist, uotwilh-
standing his crazy crolcheis of nboiIionism,
free farms, free properly, womcn's rights,
socialism, and the Maine liquor law. Gerril
is fanatic, but Joshua is a demagogue.-
Smith has been fleeccd hy his kind friends
of his money and his lands; but Gdlings
makes his constituents pny the piper. There
Is great 'lissimilarily between Ihemi but
they will form leading pair in Congress.
