Root, the Ohio abo'itionist, denied that
the Missouri line was compact, in speech
the other day at Sandusky ...
"IIe wondered what had caused the wings
to get aroused at the Nebraska bill, after
swallowing a surrender to inevitable slavery
territory four times as large as Ohio by the
Fillmore administration, (by the adjustment
of 1860 without wincing or making a wry
face. But as they had given up their organi-
cation and come over body and soul to aboli-
tionism, he gave them the right hand of Eel
| lowship."

W no are the AgitntOrs I

The whole country is sick Of, and cries
cat against the present useless agitation OIL
the slavery question. The Nebraska bill is
charged as the cause o! it, and yet all admit
that it will never make or unmake slave
Then all the leading wing and free soil pt.
pers admit, and the whole democratic press
contend that the repeal ofthat bill is imprac-
tlcablc, and to insist on it would only pro-
long the useless and dangerous agitation
Yet jesse o. Norton is pledged to go to cor
gress and agitatc for repeal which is ad-
mtted to be impracticab'e; while John n.
Drake, the candidate ofthc democracy, is IN
favor of acquicsccnce and thus allaying the
agitation Who is the agitator? The one is
for continuing strife, cmhittering the north
against the south, dividing the Union by n
pcrnicious geographical line, sundering the
bon Is Of the cOnicdcracy; the other is for
allayins strife, promoting good feeling, obli-
Grating fatal geographical lines, and building
up, strengthening and pcrpctuatng our glo
rious Union. Choose ye between them!

The following extract from the Rev. DR.. 7. v.
Moore's Fourth Of July Grafton at Richmond
hits off in excellent style the difficulties under
which patriotic orators labor now a-days:
6 The situation of Fourth of July orator now
is like that of a man at the third table Of pub
lie dinner, who has left to him little more than
scraps and empty dishes. All the rhetoric and
logic Of the occasion have been used up, and
there is really not respectable metaphor left.
The American Eagle--a very respectable bird in
its way--has been so plucked and handled that
it has become as tame as barn yard fowl
The British Lion has been so belabored and be-
cudgeled by an indignant eloquence that he
roars as gently as q sucking dove. The Stars
and Stripes have been so yehemently fonrished
above admirpg crowds of patriotic citizens,
that there is hardly rhetorical shred left of
them, and even that is somewhat the worse for
handling. Even classic antiquity-He Hercules
and the serpent-Ju julius Csesar-De mosthenes-
Greece and Rome-haye SO long been compelled
to perform annual muster, that they have really
become exempt from military service. Even
patriotism is net in season, because it is not
near enough the election; and if it were, your
orator at least in this instance has no chance of
becoming q candidate. The Nebraska bill has
passed its nine days history, and the very
thought of Cuba, where it is July all the year
round is intolerable The very Union would
almost be dissolved by eulogzing it at such a
melting temperature as this Even sc the ladies'
have been deemed too exciting topic for the
Grafton on this heated occasion. and hence has
been monopolized by the committee on toasts,
where its exciting character may be tempered
by ice water and other cooling compounds. So.
it lis obvious that the path of Fourth of July
orator, on this occasion, is like that spoken Of
