Why Don't they Fxpel Herbert.


ply this. Herbert. the member of Con
eress who killed the Irish waiter is arabic
Know Nothing.
The majority in the House, where h,
power to expel rests, is composed o
Black Republicans and Know Nothings
They don't like TO get up a family quar-
rel, while the billing and cooling is go
ing on between their leaders in refer
ence TO a union upon Presidential candi
dates.
They charge that Herbert is a Loco.
foco member of Congress, and cite The
murder, to prove the dislike of foreign.

Herbert who killed Heating is the Know
Kothing candidate for Presidential Elec

as well as tricky.-PlGindeGlc,.
The above from the PlGiade7ler /:

last week, and we transfer the whole o.

posing the contemplate recklessness
with which the BUCCANEERS make then
false assertions.
Everybody who reads the news knows
that the Administration party in the
House voted sold against eren investiga-
ting The murder by Herbert, and by the
aid of three or four d~oughface votes,
managed to defeat the attempt to invcs-
tigste tie matter and eIpel the mur,
derer. The Republicans in the House
voted in a body for The investigation and
consequent expulsion, and had not the
Democrats been aided by three or four
shutting renegades we should have had
the rufian expelled.
The editor of the Democrat knows
these facts /; lie knows that it was his
party which preventative william Herbert
from receiving the due punishment of his
crimes /; he knows that the Republicans
voted for investigation and punishment,
yet he has the ~efirontery to retail such
deliberate falsifcations as the above; We
leave it for candid men to judge what is
to be expected from a party which needs
such q mode Of defence, we leave it for
them to judge how far such statements
are consistent with common honesty, to
say nothing of that Christian morality
which we understand the editor of the
Democrat to profess.
This same Share &C ratio party which
defeated the expulsion of Herbert on the
ground hat Irish walters, like negroes,
were made to be beaten and shot down
by any upstart a~rislocrat who may have
the shamelessness TO call himself a Dem
OcrGt, has arrayed itself against the in
vestgation of the Brooks outrage also.
with the only difference that in the case
Of Herbert the party began to fear that
the Irish citizens whom they have SO
long gulled wOuldhave their eyes opened
to the hypocrisy of tie party's pretended
love for the Ii boring man. while in the
case of Brooks there is no one but a
Senator of Massachusetts half butch
cred.
These considerations have moved the
Buchanier press TO such truthful attempts
as the above 10 saddle the responsibility
Of The Herbert murder upon other Shout
ders han their OWN.
The crime and the responsibility for it
are fastened upon than, and no hardi-
hood of lying viii now be able to shake
it off.
As to Herbert's being a Know Moth
ing, we neither know nor cafe. We
know that he is a Border Rufian, and
has supported the Pierce and Douglas
party straight through the present sess-
ion of Congress, acting with the admin
istration just as regularly and faithfully
as Orr of South Carolina or Richardson
CT Illinois. This shows what party he
belongs to. But still further, we have
seen it asserted in the press, and it re
mains uncontradicted, that he was a
delegate in the Cincinnati Convention
and held a prominent place on a prOmi-
nent committee.
This matter is only of consequence
because it is a part of The regular pro-
gramme of the BUCCANEERS. at the
North they are afraid Of the influence of
the Keaiing murder upon the Irish citi-
zens, and so are forced to lie themselves
ont of the responsibility, but we venture
the prediction that between the Bucha-
nier courts in the District of Columbia,
and the Presidential power of pardon,
Herber. will not receive the punishment
which any common man would suffer for
a murdtr of equal atrocity.
The protection given free speech by
those courts is shown in the paltry fine
of three hundred dollars imposed upon
Bully Brooks for his attempt to kill Mr..
Sumner in the Senate Chamber ; the
spirit of the Baehanier party will be fur
Their shown when the yeas and nays upon
his expulsion are published.
1t is in vain to attempt TO cover these
up the free men and honest
working men are talking about them
and their voice will be heard in NOEem-
Der.
