A LISTENER.
1t appears that Irishmen begin to re-
+ gard the murder and those who defend
it. in the proper light The Irish
american of New York city, strong
democratic paper, uses the following en-
phatic laaguage
If an honest hard working Irishman is
shot down in cold blood By one of those
| foul things, vomited forth from the ruff
fanism of rum holes and stutiing of bal
lot b5xes and if the foul thing is to be
upheld by the democratic party, though
we have always been On that side, we
emphotieally, earnestly, and most sin
eerely do we recommend Mcssrs. Bu-
chanan rnd Breckenridge, and their
friends and supporters, to repudiate the
scoundrel in the most unmistakeablc
form or we shall be obliged in the cxer-
else of solemn duty, to advise those
who believe in US either not to vote at
all in the coming Presidential election,
or to cast their votes for the enemy.
An open friend may prove a curse;
Bat 4 pretended friend is worse.
Whether our Irish fellow citizens vii
endorse the murder of Heating and the
party which approves it, by voting for
Buchanan and Breckenridge remains to
be seen. We will not believe It,
The friends of freedom and of consti-
tutional liberty in the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes have been defeated The Ar
my Bill has passed without the Kansas
Pr7sis $50 The President OF the United
States has now ample resources, and can
harry. shoot, hang and harass the poor
emigrants at his own savage will. God
only knows how soon Federal bayonets
will be piercing Republican bosoms--
how suon Federal bullets will be driven
into Republican hearts! The House
has substantially said to the President,
that he may use the arms of the United
States for purposes sbherrcat to the spir-
it Of the Constitution Of the United
States. Franklin Pierce is not man
to neglect such opportunities; and the
savage ann of Gen. Smith is now
| str7ngthe.ed for deeds of rapinc, cruel
" and oppression. We have from the
| beginning anticipated this result, and
we have expressed our iorcbodings-
The lesson which this defeat teaches us
IS, that under Republican government.
the strength, the hope and the safety OF
the people must be in an honest. incor-
ruptibIe and daGntless House of Repre-.
.eHtatives. We have had no such House
III the present struggle Gentlemen who
heart and soul, through defeat and vic
tory, at all times. and With perfect single
ness oil purpose, sustain constitutional
liberty i'll the House, are in a minority,
and have been so during the session.
Mr.. Banks was elected, not by the spon-
taneoqs devotion of members to freedom.
but by combination of circumstances,
into the details of which it is not neces-
sary, at the present time to enter. The
Republican members have battled nobly;
bnt they have throughout been subject
ed to great discopragements and imped
ed by important obstacles. On the test
question of the session, they have been
overcome; but this should not and sh,ll
not prevent us from saying that they
have fought good fight, and are fairly
entitled to the honor aai confidence of
their constituents. And now it is for
the people of the North to say whether
they will use the power which the Com
stitution clearly gives to them; and
whether the low Intrigue, the unscrupu-
lous seltishness and the personal ambi
ton exhibited in the present House.
shall be repeated in the next We want
Representatives who cannot be frighten-
ed by the tricks of a harlequin Presi-
dent; by the unnecessary discharge from
employment of few operatives by the
stale and ridiculous accusation of ..block-
ing the wheels Of government. Shall
we have such: People of Vermont!
You speak first. Shall We have such:
People of Maine. You speak next.
Shall we have House of Representa-
tives worthy of the honest and liberty
loving masses Boston Atlas.
SURGICAL OPER.rIoS.-We,were shown, in
DIR. Sanger's Office, large cancerous tumor
removed from the neck of Deacon Springer's
wife of Franklin, by DR.. Rich aided by DR.,
Sanger and DR.. Lewis. The tumor extend
ed under the jaw, and deep into the neck
and had to be carefully dissected from the
nerves, veins, and arteries of the part, the
pricking of which, would have set life's rud-
dy current ebbing. She was under the inau-
ence of chloric-ether, for more than fifty
minutes, and came to consciousness, with the
agreeable surprise, that the tumor was gone,
through the skill of surgeons who had cut
within hairs bredth Of life.
