An Abolitionist Rebuking Freedom of
Snaech.

We publish to-day one Of the most amusing
debates that ever occurred on the floors OF Con
gress. Giddngs, the mighty Abolitlonist, aftel
making all the noise and doing all the harm hi
could during the great Fugitive Slave excite
ment in Boston, comes back to the House ano
oasrs resolution for the expulsion Of the pub
lie printer and all his reporters, because said
public printer had published an article IN his
paper showing up the great Abolition champion
in his true colers While in Boston, Giddngs
had awaited himself of the opportunity to " let
out a link or two He did not care 80 much
for the question then Immediately under con-
sideration as he did for the privilege it afforded
of an onslaught upon his hostile colleagues
without the possibility of denial or answer Of
any kind.
He launched forth his thunders; he preached
sedition, he advocated Instruction, he endeav-
ored to stir the multitude up to violence and
mufder, and finally sought to cast the respon.
sibility Of the anarchy which he was endeavor-
ing to bring about upon Congress, by charging
the passage of the Nebra ka bill to the influence
of bribery and corruption. Thus far it cannot
be said that the Honorable gentleman's conduct
was at all unreasonable or in the least incon-
sistent with his usual course. Nor will we pre-
tend to say he was far wrong in his charges.
But when an article appeared in the Union,
showing his conduct up in proper light and
calling things by their right names, he became
excessively enraged or frightened, he refused tc
say which, and called upon the House to vindi-
cate its dignity by extending its protection over
him and Furnishing his assailant.
After launching the most foul mouthed ana
themas against all portions Of the Constitution
and laws which in any manner countenance the
institution of slavery, and charging q majority
of his fellow members with having sold them.
selves to bribery and corruption, he sneaks back
and claims the protection Of the laws he hat
ahjured and the sympathy of his colleagues
whom he has denounced and slandered.
Such is the spirit of the Abolition fanaticism.
1t does not hesitate to incur the heavy response
bility of riot and murder, but it dares not abide
the consequences of its own wickedness Gid
dngs had denounced the laws and endeayored
to excite rebellion against them and after
wards invoked the protection of the House
against newspaper article which he declared
had pronounced himself and others without the
pale of human society and fit subjects for the
assassin's knife Every sensible person will be
well pleased to learn that his appeal and his
pretended solicitude for the dignity of the House
were treated with the ridcue and derision they

SAD AFFAIR AT ST.. JoHN, N Considerable
excitement has existed here for the last fort
night, in consequence of the sudden disappear
ance of a young lady, the daughter of Aaron
Eaton, ESQ.,, of the firm of Eaton & Ray, ship
owners Miss Eaton was about eighteen years Of
age. 1t appears that about twelve months ago
she had violent attack of fever, which caused
mental alteration.
About two months since her reason returned
when parents and friends began to cherish hope
of perfect restoration. On the evening of her
disappearance, about half-past eight o'clock, she
was sitting with her sister at home, apparently
in the happiest spirits joking and laughing, and
enjoying round of merrment, when the hall
door announced visitor. She arose {not caring
since her illness to see any triends) and retired
telling her sister that she was going 10 her room
for the night. 1t appears she did proceed to
her apartment, drew on her rubbers, threw q
shawl over her shoulders, placed her bonnet on,
and secretly made her exit from the house. One
half hour had not been allowed to pass before
she was missed friends and relations were hasti-
ly alarmed, and dllgent search was Immediate
ly made, but without success.
In the morning large rewards were offered for
her recovery, and parties of three or four hun
bred secured the city and woods in the vicinity
of the city four or five successive days and
nights, but no tidings of the missing one could
be obtained The search was abandoned, and
frenzy almost sliced the heart siekened and
grieving parents, whose only solace seemed to
exist in the belief that in the cunning of insan-
ity she had concealed herself, and that in n
little while she would appear to them Thus
days wore on, when on the morning of Sunday
last, (ten days from the time of her disappear
auce,) as some parties were saunterng along
the beach of Courtney bay, they Suddenly came
upon the lifeless body of the lost girl llel
countenance evnced that, unconscious of agony
she had died. Her bonnet was clutched in one
hand, while the other laid upon her breast, as
though she was slumbering, while upon her lip
