SENSIBLE VIEWS.

We are gratifed to find that there are calm-think-
ing journalists in every portion of the country who
feel that there is higher and nobler duty to per-
form than that of mere partisanship; who can find
something of more interest to the public than a
perpetual party or sectional strife who can acknow-
lodge some merit in an adversary, and tolerate
difference of opinion natural to different sections
and to men differently educated. The st. Louis
Intelligencer is journal of that description, and
the following brief views worthy of consideration
Referring to the ultra and impracticable objects
of some Of the agitators, it says
Long before any action favorable to the repeal of the
Nebraska bill could be had in Congress the whole ques
tion far as Kansas and Nebraska concerned, will
be decided by the lawful action of the people settling there
Let those men, then who love peace and truth stand
firm by the old landmarks Of the old party From tu
multi, agitation and excitement good can come from
sectional animostes nothing but the most deadly evil
II the slavery question is to be set at rest will not
be by the efforts of who approach it with the wild
fanatcism of party leaders, but by the cool discussion of
the matter its real merits II this is to be had
matter of such decacy the utmost caution must be
used not to make its decision matter involving the
tnued existence of the Union upon whose
depends the future prosperity Of every State of which it
is composed the Of the experiment ofrepubican
ism, and the existence Of social and political liberty not
indeed for few blacks happily rescued from the horrors
of savage fe but for the millions Of white through
out the world, and millions yet unborn"

A writer Of the last century, during the period
when the age of authority was struggling against
revolutionary innovation, said that "unorganized
masses never act wisely, judiciously, or justly"
Whether the remark be true in all its extent we
will not undertake to decide but experience fur
nishes many examples of the fact. We have been
reminded of the saying by the recent case at Chi.
cago of the refusal of the mass of citizens to per-
NIT Senator DOUGLAS to address the people in de-
fence of his official conduct. Without any refer
ence to the merits of Judge DOUGLAS or his de-
fence, we concur with Wing contemporary in the
annexed remarks on the arbitrary treatment he re-
ceved at the hands of his felowcitizens of Chicago
There never more pressing need for politician
to do his best towards vindcating himself than now
weighs upon Mr.. DOUGLAS He should have had every
facility. If it desirable to have given Mr. Douglas
token of the sapprobation of his constituents in Chi
cago that object could have been effected in much
regular and respectable way by first granting him full
hearing and them by resolution in other form,
pronounce calm judgment upon the case. rebuke
under such circumstances would have derived weight
from orderly deliberation.
I" An important principle is involved here and not
only that but substantial practical benefit. 1t is for
the interest of both representative and constituent that
the communication between them should be rs frequent
and free possible. Whatever light the repre-
sentative gains by his experience in Washington should
be impaired to those whose servant he Isl and they, in
turn should neglect no suitable opportunity to make
known their and their convictions. But, to make
this intimacy of relation between representative and con-
suen productive of its proper mutual advantage, both
should observe the frest treatment and not only per-
NIT, but invite the freest interchange Of opinion"
The chief injustice committed in this case, it
appears u.s. consisted in the refusal of those who
did not desire to hear the Senator to allow those
who wished to hear him an opportunity of doing so.
