ExCE1J,ENTi,Y DONE IA

Certain uneasy rascals in Boston, says the New
York Daily News-white, black and yellow-are
ptrpetuay getting up C lectures on slavery" to
which most persons who are supposed to itch after
notoriety, are, at some time other invited. The
object being, of course to get up and keep up as
much excitement upon the subject possible. Lat
terly, the Beechers and Fred Douglasses and Gar
risons, and Raymonds, and Greeltys, having pretty
well run out, and everybody being quite tired and
sick of hearing their eternal pirate, the idea has
struck the Lecture Committee of inviting persons
who do not participate in their fanatical views to
come and deliver themselves of their opinions in
the shape of lecture-and be Kissed down, of
course or otherwise insuted, by the parti-colored
mob of fools and pickpockets who attend the meet
ings. In pursuance of this plan, letters have been
sent to most public men, understand, in all parts
of the Union, and have generally been contemptu-
ously left unanswered-as the case, we were
lately informed with the invitation sent to distn
guished ex-Unitcd States Senator in this State
Some of the gentlemen insulted by the invitation,
have, however, fit to reply to it. and we copy
the following letters worthy of perusal, and as
embodyng pointed and well deserved rebukes to the
Committee" We find them in Boston papers, to
which, we believe, they were not communicated by
the " respectable cullud pussons of the Committee
BosToN, Aug. 2, 1856.

ter gives that arguments and opinions from

cated.

mont Temple in this city on evening, -,
or if that time will suit your engagements please

SHAMEFUL PRAcTICE.-We learn that Father Muir
ply, the respected and esteemed Pastor of the Ro-
man Catholic Church in this town, is subject to
noyances and insults, from boys of 10 or u years
of age, while peaceably passing the streets, in the
discharge of his pastoral duties. As he remarked
to us at is exceedingly painful to be thus treated
when going to coming from visitatons of the sick
and dying"
We think speak the language of the protestant
christian heart of this communicative language of
every citizen of character and feeling when say
that this grievance shond and must be remeded.-
We most respectfully urge and entreat the attention
of parents and guardians to this grave matter.

ment of Father Murphy much regretted by the

PRESIDENT PIERCE TO BE 1MPEACHED We learn
from The Buffalo Republic, Abolition newspaper,
having the Hatch ticket at its editorial head, that
there is some expectation that the next Congress
may impeach the President. That atrabilious news
paper says:
Another dispatch received last night, states that
the free State men had nominated Governor Rec der
for delegate to Congress, and that the election
appointed to be held one week later than that
dered by the spurious Legislature. The pro-slavery
party have nominated the present deegate-Whit
field. Both candidates will undoubtedly be elect
ed. and will apply for seats. This will bring the
legality of the whole proceedings before Congress,
and we very much doubt whether the House of
Representatives at all events will be prepared to
admit the claims of Atchison and Stringfellow. A
stormy time may be expected, and President Pierce
will be lucky if he escapes impeachment"
We clip the above from the New York Daily
News. The Buffalo Republic may as we'll be in
formed that President Pierce will be lucky if he is
impeached. Such course by his enemies would
do endear him to the hearts of all true men,
than any thing that has yet occurred
BY the way, it is alleged by the K. N. prints, by
Mr.. Rayner and Others that the Catholic vote was
cast for President Pierce D 1862 and that Judge
Campbell appointed Postmaster General in
pursuance ola bargain to that effect. If this be
true, President Pierce must have been party to
the bargain. If these prints and K. N. leaders be-
eUe aohat they sag, here is another opportunity for
impeachment .:.- g..

WE'LL AND MOLLY DONE.

We copy the following from the Dover, Delaware
Gazette of September 6th
owe learn from friend who was present at the
Democratic County meeting at Denton, on Tuesday
last that the Wings who were holding at the same
time in another part of the town, passed resolu-
ton to Join the Democratic party, and vote the
Democratic ticket at the November election after
which they formed into procession, AMI marched
andsse and with coors flying toward the place where
the Democrats were holding their meeting When
they had nearly reached the spot over which the
Democratic flag floating on the breeze their
spokesman advanced and, in substance, said:
"Gentlemen We wish to join the Democratic par
t and hereafter to battle under the glorious banner
of Democracy! Will you'receive us! A deafening
as they exclaimed eve will :" which succeeded
by cheering which might have been heard for miles
around and other exhibitions of the widest joy The
Wings then advanced under the flag, took off their
hats and gave three hearty cheers. Then such 9TH
err exhibitions of rejoicing, never before wit
messed in old Caroline County.
After the excitement had somewhat subsidized the
newmade Democrats gave their promise to vote the
Democratic ticket at the next election: and the meet
ing after ransacting the business and listening to
some able addresses, one of which was delivered by
the orator of the Wing meeting, adjourned under
the happiest auspices.
This is but one incident, but it exhibits in true
light the feeling now prevailing in the Wing ranks
over the whole country. We read in the Maryland
papers mum arous instances of the Wings uniting on
the same platform with the Democracy, to overthrow
that insdious and hideous monster, Know Nothing
ism so Disguised have they become with its iniqui-
ties"

of the dying, cannot exist without mutual help.

TuE DODGERS CAUGHT.

The Know Nothngs say that they do not desire
the aid of the government in adopting religious
test that is, that they will not make the test con-
stitutionaz one but that they will effect it as ind
vi luals-as citizens. Judge Berren, of Georgia, in
late Know Nothing letter, holds the following lam
guage, which we believe expresses the sentiments of
his party in their attempt to dodge the constitu-
ton
at aoould be qorong in the Gore1nment to make
this religious test exercise Of diScrett0n rhlch
tile people haCe not entrusted to them. Thus tint
acAich could be acrong the Government is the right
and duty of the citizen"
That is as good higher law doctrine ever Mr..
Seward preached and the principle of that doctrine
would be approved by every abolitionst in abolition
dom. Let's see how the rule would work in some
other matters The constitution provides for the
delivery of runaway slaves to their masters, and
therefore it would be wrong in the Government"
to say they should not be delivered up, being mat
ter which the people have not entrusted to them
but Seward, Greedy, Garrison and all the host OF
that ilk would shake hands with Judge Berrien and
other Southern Know Nothngs and say: &" Thus
that which would be wrong in the government (the
prevention of the return of fugitive slaves IS the
right and duty of the citizen" And what answer
could Judge Berren any other Know Nothing
make to this language? Entangled in the meshes of
their own net, they would have to hang their heads
in silence or say, "you right-go aheadl"
Such are some of the difficulties of attempting to
do, as citizens, what the constitution says shall not
be done. What cannot be effected by the cons.itu-
ton and laws should not be attempted at all.

NORTHERN SENTIMENT.

v-a call the attention of our readers to the able
d liberal article in the Standard, to-day, copied
som the Pennsylvania, headed "Slavery has it's
n,nofts." The Pennsylvania is one of the organs
af the Northern Democracy-it speaks the senti-
u,onts of large majority of them and these senti-
n,onts, as will be by careful perusal of this
--+;,c are as sound in themselves and as Just to-
ards the South as any reasonable man among us
could desire.
We also inYite attention in this connect ion to the
sowing sensible and patriotic article from another
nsmocratic print, the New York Day Book:
.NoRruERN DEMocRAcY.-Don't be too fast gen.
a,nrn. The North is not altogether against you,
W. * il against the Nebraska bill. There is no ne
Dsty of your being frightened into casting cannon
cbsrncning swords manufacturing gunpowder
snf We of the North will take care of our own
!acope We not all fanatics and shall not be
fontroed by fanatics, so do not get off half cooked
nor kick out of the traces yet awhile. We have
lived under the Constitution of our fathers some
serenty odd years. and you have had equal protec-
ton with the rest of us. Stick to that, and we will.
Never fear that there is not good Constitution low
inr citizens enough in the North to keep down the
nI7tters against you and your institutions.
When, gentlemen, did the Democracy Of the North
desert y6u refuse to stond Jy y0w? Ne0er. 1T
ARE u6m President Polk and Terds and 1t GAGE gou
fEs Fugitice SloUe Aao, and it gaUe you President

ask? We readily admit that these y0ur rights

rights.
Why, then, desert it or talk about fighting the
whole North? Stand by those who have stood by
yor, and You will never have reason to complain
You should make some allowance for Northern hab.
its and Northern prejudice, and not expect all our
people to think just you do on the subject of
slavery; that is not possible. But you have always
found the Democratic party to deal justly with you,
an! you may rely upon it to do justly hereafter no
matter what the people think about slavery
Don't leave the Democratic party, men of the
SOUTH until it leaves you, and you will have nothing
to fear from Northern fanaticism.

expressions of sentiment from Northern Democratic
journals, and with proceedings of Northern Demo-
