The special malignity exhibited by Pierce and
Gushing against Freedom is something monstrous.
Ii is natural enough in Gushing, who, being
wealthy, aristOcratic, and ambitious, never had or
protested any sympathy with the rights of the
people. The love of distinction and power being
his only inspiring motives, it has been all the
same to him upon whose head he could rest his
heel if he could only elevate himself. With Pierce
the case is different. He used to be a kind of
sentimental Democrat in theory, but without any
particular force of talent or character In his
annual Message and his recent proclamation against
permitting Freedom in Kansas, he simply exhibits
himself as mad for a denomination. The mistake
which these two New-England twin Apostles Of
Slavery are just now making the one from his
weakness the other from his instincts, is this:
They both imagine that legal wrong is stronger
tlan Right standing by itself They declare that
the acts of the Missouri villains who extempOrized
the Kansas Legislature, possess more virtue than
the acts of the solid and honest men of the Terri
tory. They soy there isyirtue in successful fraud;
that successful crime is better than unsuccessful
honesty; that the triumphant use of bOwieknives
we contend there is only one way of meeting such
doctrine as this, whether it emanates from high
places or low and this is by resistance. We say
to this worthy pair of New England adventures
that they are premature in preaching the doctrine
that Might 10 better and greater than Right And
we tell them in return that the only honest and
manly way to treat such scOundres as their friends
and prOteges, the Border Rufians, is to pay them
in kind None but men who are slaves in grain
will submit to such infamous outrages as they have
been guilty Of the chief of which is the establish
ment Of that fraudulent Legislature, the legality
of whose acts President Pierce defends. The only
way to treat such wrong as that, is TO destroy it
by force since il can be reached in no other way.
To talk about the proprety and necessity of SUBJ
hitting 10 the rule of cut Threats, because they
have got honest men by the neck, is to talk like
cut-throat. Violence being the order of the day,
it must be resisted by the same instruments as
those by which it seeks to accomplish its purpose.
And until it il fully understood that it will be
done, there will be no rest from the Ruffans But
when it is known that revolver will be met by
revolver, and rife by rifle, the difficulty will be
ended and We shall have lasting peace on the
Slavery question. But if the Free States consent
to be bullied by the shareholders, and inundated
by the Ruffians or their hackers, an honest man
cannot live in the country five years hence. Let
the doctrines Of Pierce & Co., advanced in the
Kansas Message be resisted then at all hazards and
let the motto be- Fair play for Kansas.

They have, we observe, bill pending in the
Virginia Legislature " oallow one Thomas Jones, q
" free coored man of Culpepper County, to ensave
himself" This is all very we'll if Thomas Jones
desires it; but we think the Legislature ought, in
fairness, to add another section allowing all col
ored persons now held in Culpepper County as
slaves, and who may desire it, to emancipate
themselves. This would be to hold the balance
even, and to do the fair thing. Certainly a mans
desires for liberty are as much entitled to be
pratifcd as his desire to be made slave.

mR. L.. ID. CAmPRELL's APOLOGY

MANY correspondents writing from Washington,
and many editors commenting upon the proceedings
there, have not hesitated to hold up Mr. Lewis d.
Campbell Of Ohio as responsible in no incOnsdera-
BILE degree for the delay that has taken place in the
choice Of a Speaker. These comments are felt by
Mr.. Campbell, and in a letter to The National In
seligeneer, which We give in another column, he
undertakes to justify himself so far as his refusal
30 vote for the plurality rule is concerned
With respect to the cOnstitutionality of choosing
a Speaker by a plurality vote, il is TO be observed
that there are notable cases in our history in
which not merely doubts to the cOnsttutionality
Of certain course Of action but positive con-
yictions that il was unconstitutional have been
ruled BY tho necessity of the case. Thus Mr.. Jefer
son and the whole Democratic party in Congress
concurred in the appropriation of the 1000, 900
for which France had agreed to cede Louisiana to
us. with the full conviction on Mr.. Jeersons part,
freely expressed in his private correspondence, that
the whole proceeding the annexation and the voi-
ing the money, was unconstitutional but still i'm
peratye, there being time to wait for an amend
ment TO the Constitution and Louisiana, so neces-
sary TO the Union, being accessible then or never.
lively requires that the House should have a
Speaker. Without Speaker the House can do
nothing. This is the first and essential thing, to
which the manner of choosing the Speaker is but
subordinate. As to that point, all that the Consti-
tuition prescribes is, that the Speaker shall be
chosen BY the House. II the House, then, seeing
the absolute impossibiity OF choosing Speaker by
majority vote, shall agree to choose him b.
plurality vote, we should imagine that the neces-
sity of the case might the conscientious Mr..
Campbell for submitting to q choice by plurality
As Mr.. Campbell appears in this matter to give
20 much weight to the constitutional opinions OF

zion Of his political guide, philosopher and friend"
lit might be well for him perhaps TO consult afr~h

of which be makes the basis of his argument Those
resolutions appear to us to be pointed rather agains.
the suppression of debate than to be intended as
positive assertion of the unconstitutionality of
choice by plurality
As to Mr. Campbels opinion that the adoption
of the plurality vote would very likely give the
organization of the House to the friends of the
Nebraska act we can only say that such result Is
possible; but that does not seem to be sufficient
reason for not adopting the rule. The House is
to be organized and its organization by the friends
of the Nebraska act can hardly be more injurious
10 the cause of Freedom than the spirit exhibited
by some of those who bosst their hostility to that
act and whose refusal to cooperate with the great
body Of lite opponents or their seeming cooperation
while secretly they intrigue to defeat Mr.. Banks,

alone makes it necessaytO resort to choice BY
plurality.
Let us say in conclusion to Mr.. Campbell that
he ia perhaps in more danger from within than
from without. It's in vain that be bids defiance
to outsiders and to newspapers, if at the same time
he is betrayed by vanity Or veKatiOn of spirit to
become o puppet in the hands Of the Nebraska men,

To light our earth ere the daylight die
When the red glow Of twilight is settling arouha
On the cloud-capped mount, on the dewy ground

How do you t ink Of me. dearest

Sorrow and JOY can both imPart;
Who can wreathe the lip with sunbright smile
Tho the heart be cIouded o'er the while,
Who loves you SO wildly that nought can be
Life, joy or beauty without thee
Do you think Of me thus
Where do you think of me, hearts darling
Where do you think Of met

Careless and heartless, is passing along;
Not where light hearts circle round,
With joyous laugher's welcome sound;
In silence, dear lors, alone, in prayer,
