of my judgment and with every sentiment
OF my heart, and that they are to occupy
it with the standard lowered never an inch,
so far rs the strict construction of the con
stitution and the vindication Of the const-
tutional rights of every portion of the
Union are concerned. Much and Justly as
we admire the prtriotisln attainmcnts and
private virtues of our standard bearers,
there will be nothing like man worship in
this contest. Men become comparatively
Insignificant, except as instruments, when
great principles and the vast interests Of
country like ours are involved. There will
be, on your part, no appeal to unworthy
passions, no infammatory calls; for sec
ond Revolution, like those which are occa-
sionally reported as coming from men who
have received nothing at the hands of their
government but protection and political
blessings; no declaration Of resistance to the
laws OF the land, no invocation to the she'd
ding Of blood, by those who have had none to
shed when our countrymcn have stood face
to face with forei gn foes. But the issue
will summon you to realm, earnest strug-
gle for the constitution, and consequently
for the Union. You will bear yourselves
like men determined to cling to that sound
instrument as the only security from gen
eral wreck and the only refuge from uni
versal ruin. Men who fell and act with
you will cling to it with patriotic wisdom
and steady fortitude, and they will defend it, if
need be with, heroic valor against all as
saults from without or from within. That
a signal triumph awaits you in such cause
| entertain no doubt-lf, as fully believe,
our fathers were not only guarded and sus-
tanned through the changing scenes, and
struggles Of the Revolution, but were in
splred after its close TO devise and adopt
this constitution by Omnipotcnt Power, we
may reposc upon humble but unwavcring
faith that that Power will not permit the
madness Of their children to destroy it. Ac-
'cept, gentlemen, my best wishes for you,
collectively and Individually, and my thanks
for this gratifying call.

Proper Views.

In the Connecticut Legislature while the
resolutions ,denouncine MFR. Brooks were
under discussion, Mr.. Chapman, of Hart
ford, said:
l DO not regard freedom of speech as
meaning the right existing in one person to
SANDER and calun,niate an other without
the suffering party having right to call
him to account. TO so regard it, would be
making mockcry of all law. It would
90 to abolish the courtesics of lifc-to make
the gift Of language curse instead of q
blessing. The CUSTOM of giving utterance
to gross personalities in debate, is becoming
quite too cmmon in this country. 1t is out
OF place anywhere, but more particularly is
1t out of place in the United States Senate,
That ls the highest legislative BODY in
Our land, and if decorum of manner and
propricty of speech are to be observed any,
where, it certainly should be in that branch
of our National Congress. Tho walls ~
the Senate chamber have echoed bacI ,,a
voices OF the greatest men Of our land. In
te'iect has been opposed there to intellect.
and great minds have contended there foy
the mastery. The names Of men who4haye
ieglslated there for the best interests Of their
country are recorded, in history. Men Of
comprehensive minds; men not chained To
single ldeas, like the galley slave to an oar !;
men who dared to raise tIIeir eyes to from
their feet, and to act rs if there was some
other place OH earth beside the little ground
on which they stood; men who, disregard
ing worldly advantages and worldly gain.
regarding no locality and no section, have
str'vcn to preserve intact the union of the
States, and to bequeath to their children
the blessings that they themselves enioyed.
And now, shall those walls be no longer
llalowed ? Shall the only echo which,
comes to us be that Of words laden With
bitter calumny :.

Government had recently addressed a very,

DANISH government insisting that the latter
show a compliant and ready spirit in settling

represented as direct effort on the part Of

interference in established European mari.

did We not remember two things. The first.
Is, that since the peace was concluded the
Anglo French alliance has virtually ceased
with it. The second, and ,by far the most
important point is, tliat both France and
England are at present desirous of putting
