aWhat must the members of the Supreme
Court Of the United States say to such lam
guage!"
If gross misrepresentation were libel, they
would say that the editor Of the Union was
guilty Of a fragrant libel The whole Of this
invective of MIR. Sumner is directed against the
"SLAvE HUNTER and not against the man
"judge or magistrate o--called upon to execute
the law. This the Union, il it read the speech
from which it quotes, mnst have known.
We transoribe the passage entire, as il stands
in volume I'd, page 40S, of the same edition Of
Summers Orations and Speeches from which
the Union Processes to quote
1From humane, just and religious people,
shall spring Public Opinion, to keep perpet-
ual guard over tho liberties Of all within our
borders. Nay, more, the flaming sword Of the
cherubim at the gates of Paradise, turning on
every side, it shall prevent any SLAVE
HUNTER from ever setting foot in this Com
mcnwealth. Elsewhere he may pursue his hui
man prey; he may employ his congenial blood
hounds, and exult in his successful game. But
into Massackus he must not come And
yet again say counsel no violence. would
not touch his person. Not with whips and
thongs would scourge him from the land; tho
contempt, the indignation, the adherence OF
the community, shall BIO our weapons OF offence
Wherever he moves, he shall find no house to
receive him-no table spread to nourish him
no welcome to cheer him. The dismal lot OF
the Roman exile shall be his. He shall be
wanderer, without roof fire, or water. Men
shall point at him on the streets and on the
highways.
Sleep shall neither night nor day
Hang upon his penthouse lid
He shall live man forbid
Weary seven nights nine times nine
Shall he dwindle, peak, and pine"
The villages towns, and cities, shall refuse
to receive the monster; they shall vomit him
forth, never again to disturb the repose of the
community
From all which it appears, that Mr..
Sumner has not much more liking for SldUe
Hunter than many Southern gentlemen. Rec
ollect, all this invectiye is directed against
the S'aue Hunter--the words in the volume
being printed in large capitals--and yet the
Union suppresses this fact, omits the portion
Of the extract in which Siaus Hunter is ex-
pressly named, and says explicitly that Mr.
Sumner is speaking Of " the man called upon
to execute the law, whether he be Judge or
magistrate I"
The very next paragraph to this invective
shows 90 olasrly the meaning Of Mr.. Sumner,
that it seems impossible to excuse the Union
on the score Of ignorance. The feelings" be
says, with which we regard the Slave Hunt
or, will soon be extended also TO all mercenary
agents and hcartless minions who, rithoM
any positive obligation Of lai0, become part
of his pack. They are volunteers, and as
such, should share the ignominy Of tho Chief
Hunter
No one can fail to see that the subjects OF
denuneiation in both passages arc, not those
who are under positive obligation Of law I"
to interfere but mere volunteer slave-catchers
But to exclude all cavil and expose fully the
grossness Of the Misrepresentation Of the
Union, we extract from the same speech, from
page 4O5 of the same volume precisely what
MIR. Sumner did say Of those called upon to
execute the law, whether judge or magistrate "
@Did the same spirt which inspired the Ia
theirs inspire our country now, tho msrshals---
and every magistrate who regarded this law
as having any constitutional sanction--i0o'ad
resign, rather than presume to execute II.
This however, is too much to expect from all
at present But wiH not Judge them. To
their own conscieness piH ieaue them. Sure
", no person Of humane feelings and with
any true sense Of justice-livng in land
where bells have tolled to church. whatever
may be the apology Of public station, can fail
to recoil from such sorvice.o
Now, remember, tho Union, in full view OF
this discrimination, which MIR. Sumner draws
between those who are called, and those who
are not called upon to execute the laws-be-
tween the Magistrate and the Slave Hunter
represents the vehement invective hurled
against the latter, as having been aimed at the
former, carefully emitting from Its quotations
anything which would lead to knowledge, or
even suspicion Of the Truth asit is!
THE MuRDERous ASSAULT by the Police Of
Cincinnati lately, upon German procession,
while attempting TO manifest their indignation
against M. Bedini, is severely condemned in
all quarters. The Germans arrested, as stated
by our Telegraphic dispatches yesterday, have
