The manner Of Men thew are.

On Saturday evening last, the lecture of The
odore Parker was suddenly interrupted, and the
audience startled by the report of cannon in
close proximity to the church building where
the lecture was held, aud from the time of the
first discharge until the close of the lecture, the
firing was continued as rapidly as thepiece could
be loaded.
We should be glad to believe that there was
no design ON the part of our Democratic breth-
rem to disturb and interrupt Mr. Parker in his
discourse, but as it was a spot where to our
knowledge cannon was never before fred, and
as those who directed it, were no doubt aware
that the lecture was proceeding, there is no
room whatever for a charitable conclusion in the
premises.
| Nor there a particle of prov ocation for it.
Mr. Parker had not said a word on the subject of
slavery at the time the first gun was irod and
we presume would net have done So had he not
been aware of the evident intention of these who
thus attacked him, and we are glad, as we pre-
sumo were tho audience, that he gave the up
holders and supporters of slavery, a Roland for
| their Oliver under the provocation.
We are the last one to make complaint of any
rejoicing on the part of our opponents for real
or supposed victories, but we have a right to
complain OF the insult thus offered to a distin-
guished stranger for the first time among u.s.
and the Insult to our own people, who were in
terestsd in his discourse.
Ii should open the eyes of our people to what
they may expect under the triumph of the Bor-
der-ruflan principle struggling for complete as
cendancy in the nation. 1t is the natural foe of
Literature, Of Science, and Of Art and as it in
stinctiyely snuifed danger i'll Literary lecture
ON Saturday night and sought to disturb and
break it up, we can safely calculate that in its
triumph it win not rest while its foes of Schools
and Literature are tolerated in the land.

We notice by the Madison papers, that Sur
veyors are already starting to lay out the routes
of the roads indicated in The act. We notice
also that the papers of Madison which most vi
olently opposed the disposition made of the
Grant, are congratuiating themselves upon its
securing the very advantages which they at
first contcnded it would fail to secure. We
have 10 doubt the disposition made of the grant
will insure all the advantages to the State which
any disposition of it could have done, and will
more certainly and more speedily secure the
completion Of the work,
