Wright ON NlayeYy.


Gov Wright's late speech in South
Bend seems to have gone far in advance
of all his former services in behalf OF
the South. The burden of his speech
seems 10 have been On effort 10 justify
the introduction Of Slavery into Kansas.
on the ground that the people have the
right, in any part of the Union TO choose
without question or hinderance wha,
kindiof "seruantsr,they will have, wheth-
er white or black. They of the South,
says the Governor Of the free State oil
Indiana, "have their black servants. and
we Of the North have our Thite ser
wants." and If Southern gentleman GO.
ing into Kansas prefers to retain his
black rather than exchange him for o
white. whose business is it,
1t is impossible FOR a man. protesting
to be freeman. protesting to be an in.
telligent man. and claiming to be an hon.
orable man. TO fall lower than this in
contemplate servility to the slave pow
er, and retain any prctentions to COM
mon patriotism or common sense. There
is only one other possible degree Of deg
radiation, and that is to hold out his
limbs to be chained. and then take his
place on Southern rice field under the
whip Of those who ol1n him now, as eff.
fectually as any African is owned. We
are ashamed OF him as brother man;
we are ashamed of him as q prolessed
freeman; we are asha med Of him as the
Governor Of q sovereign free State, nine
teen twentieths of whose hoHora bic and
intelligent citizens are Of that class
the laboring class-whom their own
Governor puts on level with the abjecl
Southern slave, and intimates should be
owned and used in like manner. 1t is
the language and spirit of the Southern
sldNe-uIlNeIS-iS BORROWED IrOm tQem;
and is in strict keeping with the senli-
ment of late article in the Richmond,
Virginia. Enquirer, WEIGH says that STA
uery is not based on color. but on con.
Gition. and that the South must insist on
this defense Of their system. namely,
that SO long as society is composed OF
various grades. The poor must of necessi-
ty be the servants Of the rich. Cover
nor Wright adopts this sentiment and
disgraces himself and his office, and in
suits his fellow citizens. who earn their
bread by the sweat Of their brows. by
putting forth these horrible arguments
in a speech advocating the election OF
James Buchanan. If such are the argu-
ments Of party. what must We expect
their action 10 be, If retained in favor?-
answer in November.

The ARMY BILL PAssED.-By the ope-
ration of some influence executive whee-
ding, physical exhaustion. secret lreach-
cry. or the motive power of yellow gold;
the House of Representatives has failed
to meet the high expectations of the peo-
pie. who with throbbing but apprehen-
sive hearts were watching in admiration
the firm stand Of their Representatives
in Withholding military supplies for the
enforcement of Kansas tyranny and the
arming of Missouri rufians to rob and
murder the honest farmers of that Terri
tory because they prefer their own labor
to the labor of slaves. The bill has
passed with the proviso cut off. And now
once more we shall hear the shout Of tri-
umph from The hoarse, blasphemous throat
Of slavery, echoed by all its minions
from Maine to Texas. But it is a lri-
umph only as proving the unrelia BILE
character of the House as now constitu-
ted, in any action of sufficient impor-
lance to warrant the application, on tie
part of the slave power. Of oil those
corrupting influences which it always has
at command. This struggle on the Ar
my bill was By no means final and
conclusive one. 1t was only one of the
side skirmishes which precede the great
Battle. and will prove useful by showing
the friends of freedom just how far they
can depend upon the present House of
Representatives,, and the indispensable
necessity Of sending up there reinforce
ment Of MEN-men. who like a large ma
jority Of the noble hearted Republicans
already there, are made of stuff that can
stand fire. and are proof against both bul
lets and bullion. And this. we have no
doabt, will be one Of the sure results
The defeat of the Army Bill Proviso is
another good thrust by the slave power
into the sensitive sides of the Free
North which will be sure TO rouse the
anti slavery spirit to more vigorous and
efficient action, No thanks for the de-
feat, but thanks for the leason it teachesl

From east to western ocean,
With Fremont's name the welkin rings.

But safely through each darksome pass,
Will lead his hardy "rangers.'

will willingly shift the battle on &c
that ground.
! Heretofore the North and South botl
have recognized in The Constitution nc
warrant for the extension of Slavery
and whenever it has been extended into
free territory. it has been done at The
special request of the South. as a spe

STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS IN 1649,-Tho

early society Of Kansas. is q profoundly
important and interesting consideration.
For nearly half century this pregnant
centre was consecra.ed in peIpetuity by
Il sole mn act of legislation TO freedom.
an act which, as Mr.. Douglas said in his
Springfield speech of IS49, received the
sanction of oil parties in every section Of
the Union" 1T had its origin" as he
continues in the hearts of all patriotic
men who desired to preserve and perpelu-
ate the blessings OF our glorious Union
AN origin akin TO that of the Constitu.
ton Of the United States, conceived in
the same spirit Of fraternal affection and
calculated 10 remove forevever the only
danger which seemed to threaten at some
distant day to sever the social bond Of
Union. All the evidences Of public
opinion at that day seemed to indicats
that this compromise had become cam
nonized in the hearts of the American
people, as q sacred thing which no ruth
less hand would be ever reckless enough
to disturb"
But in 1854 that ruthless hand" was
raised. Although il w6s no, hernandez BY
any exigency OF State. uncalled for by .
single voice among the people, il was
recklessly raised By Mr.. Douglas him
self, in the lowest spirit of .dema goguery.
