| into the outstretched arms Of the abolition
ists-whose apparent martyr and semi deihed
leader he at once became. 1t was a cute
dodge" that; yet it was SO bald and bare
| faced that, under the circumstances of his
previous record, the indisputable truth of the
charges against him, and the selfevident recti-
tude and justice of the action of the Presi-
dent in the premises, all comprehend that his
present struggle for freedom in Kansas
means only an effort to kick up a dust about
Kansas affairs, that shall hide from the popu-
lar gaze the facts involved in his fall as
public man. -.....
Burton Craige.-The point of order raised
by this gentleman on the day before yesterday
tempted to be bounded down by the Republi-
cans, was appropriate, legitimate, correctly
timed under the rules, and just in every par
tioular. The act of daring to interfere, under
such circumstances, with that gentleman's,
or any other members right to do as he did,
was an atrocious violation of all parliamen-
tary law, and every thing like Justice OF pro-
priety in the conduct of the business of the
House. 1t was, in fact, a glaring revolution
airy movement thus to attempt to interfere
with his exercise of his right as a member;
the more gross and glaring because essayed
by some fifty members acting in concert, as it
were, no one of whom would have dared to
take the responsibility of SO doing singly, and
all Of whom are being boasted of by the New
York Tribune and other sympathising jour-
nails, as gentlemen who are setting, in their
conduct in the Hall, the properest possible
example to the alleged rowdies who represent
pro-Nebraska bill constituencies.
The Tr,5nne's boast has been that no anti
Nebraska member had " drop in his eye" in
the course of the nights session that occurred
some weeks since. Yet, on the day before
yesterday, as though by concert, they did
that in attempting to hound down an honora-
BILE gentleman, who was simply exercising a
clear and undeniable right to raise point of
order, for doing which, for their regulations
sake, as members who know their duties, OBJ
serve the ordinary courteses of legislative life
and set proper value on the legal and con-
stitutional rights Of their position, it would
be fortunate if they could offer the poor sx-
cuse that their senses were, for the time be-
ing, stolen away by too free resort to the
ardent.
