ABOLITION HATRED OF POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY


The aboli,ioniss and their associates, the northern
wings affect greatly surprised that Senator Ioucey
of Connecticut who was instructed against the Nebraska
bill by the reasonable majority Of the recent Legislature OF
that State should not have obeyed these instructions
resigned his This suggestion originated with the
new shorterm senator from Connecticut Mr. Gillette
whose hatred of the constitution of his country recently be-
trayed him into an exhibition OF malignant mendacity du
ring debate on the resolutions of the Connecticut legisla
ture which would have dsgraced the most prohigate and
public hreling of the enemy. He said and his
echoes saw that Senator Touceys refusal to obey the in
tructions of his Legislature showed his contempt of the
doctrine Of popular sovereignty This is the first time
that we have ever heard the instructions OF fanati-
cal legislature cited popular sovereignty The fact
that abolition has been enabled 10 triumph in New Eng
land alone by inducing the wings to surrender to reck
less minority and that this expeden has been esorted to
for years shows the innate contempt which this coalition
enertans for the popular rule Senator Gillette hlnlse
comes here the representative of most contemplate mi
nortya minority only in the legislature but in the
State Of Connecticut He has been the candidate of bis
confederates several occasions in Connecticut and gen.
orally received about twenty-five hundred votes out of sixty
thousand The present wing governor or Connecticut
who was defeated ten thousand votes by the demo-
cratic candidate the last election elected because
no one person had majority Of all the votes by that very
legislature which nsructs Mr. Toucey to follow its
infamous and abhorren example That he refused to con-
sent to this degradatonha he scorned and secuted the
invitation become party to criminal conspiracy
against the American Union-was not only his duty but
his pleasing duty Wretches who assa the constitution
utter having with perjured lips sworn to support it
Anayes who glory in demng the character of the Amer
lean governmen-can have just claim upon the for
earance the generosity of any sincere friend of his
country; and when they seek their infamous doc
trnes by quoting the very authority and the very prn
cipc they most studously defy, it is right that they
should be rebuked in of manly defiance and ndig
ration.

Is N. r. Willis =" Dangerously HI =,

A story has been going the rounds Of the
papers, pathetically declaring that Willis was
" waiting to die at Idlewild,' but if We are TO
believe correspondent of the New York Mir
,or, the truth is just the reverse. Hear what
he says:
A ridiculous story is just now current
along the road. Willis, you know, c:ccls in
the p4;.intive species Of composition, and can
not exist without large daily doses of sympa-
thy and admiration. Consequently, he keeps
himself diligently at the point of death The
story is, that thc Brigadier (Niorris) short
time since, was actually taken in himself by
this pont-ofalcath humbug. Reading in u
Boston paper that his beloved partner was
really in u bad way and no mistake, he rushed
up to ldlewid in great alarm. The Erigadicr
you are aware, never writes much for his pa
per, and depends upon Willis for the greater
part of his weekly supply of matter. Ofcourse
if n. Parker W. should happen to he seriously
unwcl, the Brigad;er would be in an extreme
" awkward prcdicamcnt. BrcathlesS and anX.

NIOMu Tnent Of Sills Wright.

The editor of the Syracuse Standard wri.es
for his paper from Middlcbury, Vermont, as
follows
Three miles from here, in Weybrlge is
the monument OF Silas Wright. 1t is situat-
ed in the centre of Il little hamlet, at the forks
Of the public highway. The monument is a
plain, square shat of Vermont maj BILE, thirty
feet in height standing on n granite base. At
"A proper height is Il likeness Of Mr.. Wright, in
bas-relicf, cut ont of pure white marble. I'm
der this are the words "Sias Wright cut in
heavy block letters. The shaft is elevated on
a mound sixty or eighty feet in diameter, and
is enclosed by Il plain, substantial iron railing
The gate is left open for tho free cgrcss of the
public. 1t will be remembered that Mr.. w.
was brought TO Weybridge when child. 1t
was here thai he spent his youth, and gave
promise of that distinguished and honorable
future that lay before him. The farm OH which
his father settled lies about one mile from the
monument on the Middlebury road. The
house is now ruin-therc being nothing left
of it except a portion of the timbcrs, which
are rapidly going to decay; soon there will be
nothing to mark the spot but cunp of apple
trees"

On the trial, young man named Barnes
was called to the stand by the defense, who
testified that he had himself repeatedly been a
party to everything necessary to justify the
Sian .er. But rs We are informed, the manner
and character of this evidence was such that
the large audience present (many Of whom
knew all the partics) considered his testimony
perjury; and their Indignation was 50 Intense
that nolhin. but the fact that he escorted two
ladies, enabled the witness to escape personal
violence as he passed from the court room to
the StanwlX Hall hotel 1t was with difficulty
the landlord could he prevailed upon to admit
him. Soon all immense crowd gathered about
the house, Il bonfire was built, and he was
burnt in eifigy. We are also told that a coat

guards kept about the house to prevent his
getting away but he was lowered from Il rear
