1t is true. that Mr.. Callum. he CIeik u The
House. resides 10 the South, and, Se pre-
sumo, he is Stakeholder; bat. in the con
test which resulted ia the repeal sf the Mis-.
souri, Compromise, be was almost the only
Southern man, in Congress, who opposed
th at iniquitous measure. He made speech
in opposition to the Nebraska bill, and yo-
against its passage; and, for daring TO do
what he believed TO be his duty, he was
sacrificed BY the Slave propagandists.
For the enoble stand taken by M. CRllum,
in opposition to that monstrOus Outrage
for daring TO do right in opposition TO the
will OF Slavehelding constituency, he de-
served the appreciation of Ihs anti Nebraska
patty It-was that act which made him
the Republican candidate for Clerk Of hsi
House of Representatives. Republican
We are not surprised at Mr.. Bingham's
conduct. neither are we annoyed at it, IL
is Just such as would be expected from the
members ola party without principle, and
whose sole object is the "spOiIs"--wbose
pretended principle is made mere stalking
horse, upon which to ride into Office. Anti
Slavery was the cry--oppositlon to all slave
holders--slaEe propagsndists, &C.; but when
it became necessary, in order to attain the
"spois. that cry could be easily smothered
and the Republican party performs ''nO6ls
Duty" IN voting for, and electing asLAvS
HOLDER and real Stare propaganda and a
l2th aecton Know Nothing Clerk of the
House. This party Of all 'Isms," like the
Toad wears yet precious jewel in its head"
and that jewel is" consistency
But ''a proper explanation" may recon,
ce us even to this. We will be reconciled
without any explanation at all, and there
fore proper explanation would be ve.y
gratifying indeed. But we cannot consent
to take the above paragraph as "proper
explanation"
1t is true that Mr.. Cullum opposed the
! Nebraska Bill, and made speech against
it-opposed the great Democratic princip e
contained in it," That to the people of every
organized State and territory, belongs lhf
| right to manage all their domestic institu
tions"--a principle that will live and II
cherished in the hearts of the American
} people, as long as truth shall have a votary
or free institutions an advocate. 1t is true
Thai he spoke against the repeal Of what i
called the Missouri mpromise--talket
about "plighted faith" and made the usua
amount Of falsifying in reference to it. Blu
e this was o aggravate the North and &c
5 their votes against the Bill.

would deserve some credit, who should b
