The late speech and vote OF Senator Toucey in favor OF

the btterest denunciaons of the aboltoniss of Con-
necticut portion of them have sought TO signalize
their magniy by the ofrepeaed and always dsgracefu
expedent Of hanging him in edigy Such outbreaks of
fanatical violence produce other effect than TO
cause all Of moderation and prudence to shun the
association of those capable Of offering such ndgnites
to able, honest, and brave public servant Senator
Toucey has for personal regret that he should
be thus made the mark OF fanatical insult He had the
courage to defy their assaults and their menaces when
be gave his support TO the great principle of non-nter
venton, and he now can have none other than feelings
OF contempt for an opposition which manifests such acts
Of harmless violence Let his enemies meet and
his arguments they This they have been unable to
do, and, with madness that acknowledges their nab-
ity they seek to enjoy the mean revenge of Offering
him personal indgnity. His equanimiiy is as far
above disturbance by such efforts his arguments
above their power of refu,ation 1t is trying
sions when danger stares him in the face, that the
true patriot proves his devotion 10 his country. When
the soldier bares his bosom to the storm of bullets
he shows his bravery and his love Of country. When
the statesman1 throws himself into the breach, and
plants himself upon his principles in the face Of
threatened denunciaion and insult, he proves himself
worthy of his position Senator Toucey is now going
through this ordeal, and most nobly and gaanuy has
be borne himself Calm self possessed, determined, and
fearless he has dared TO the hottest fires Of
abolition agitation. He has the nerve and the ability 10
win a signal triumph, and the lovers Of true courage
and genuine patriotism all the country will unite in
The congratulations which are soon 10 crown his final
triumph He uM triumph. He fights for the eternal
principle OF self.goyernment He stands upon the plat
form which our fathers fought for Independence. His
victory is certain that "uu,h crushed to earth will
rise again" The good and true of Connecticut will
rally 10 the standard which floats in living letters
THE OF THE PnoPLE-the good and ,rue men
throughout the Union will sustain and encourage him in

only reason urged by sensible against the appca

Judge Douglas proposes by his bill TO confer terrific

OF the Missouri Compromise Forgetting that the high
authorities in the land have pronounced the restric
