Hon HENRY VI. FULLER. OF PA-Tha
gentleman whose name heads this article
has Just made great speech in Congress,
and so much were his friends pleased with it,
they have ordered 10000 copies of it for
circulation
Mr.. Fuller had previously. by his course
in the Speakers election. entitled himself
to place in that glorious band of conserva-
tive Northe.n men who have, whenever &C.
casion called, with patriotism that their
country cannot too much honor. thrown
themselves into the imminent deadly
breach" for the constitutional rights of the
South. and for the defence of the Union
against the fanatics of both sections, The
foremost amongst these is Millard Fillmore
and We predict that Henry NJ Fuller, after
the heat of party and the prejudices of the
times have worn away from the public mind,
will be mentioned in the same category by
the side of Fillmore, Webster, DickensOn,
Everett and Choate

We have never had any fears that the
monument would not be ultimately reared
to the proposed height. and be fully compile
ted according to its design. Although it
would be creditabe to our own immediate
day and generation to present it complete
and finished to posterity. yet there has ever
been in our minds something in the consid-

Come Cutters from the Foul Party.

1t is now part of the miserable policy
Of the Hindoo party, to seek to attach
shame and disgrace to those conscientious
persons who have had the noble 1ndepen-
dence and admirable moral courage to
break down the doors of, and make their
egress from, dark, gloomy and disgrace

suaded by the seductive promises and in
famous lies of black-hearted party, whose
first requirement of its members was

sacrilegious nature Knocked like hend

awful solemnity of high heaven I! &c.
Democrat of yesterday.
If it is "a part of the miserable policy
of the Hindoo party to seek to attach
shame and disgrace to those conscientious
persons" &C., our somewhat excitable
neighbors of the Democrat must have an
opinion of the policy of the leaders OF
the party whose banner they bear,
somewhat similar to the opinion in which
it would seem they are disposed to
hold the policy of the Handoo party
The rant ano fustian which you get off,
neighbors, about the Hindoo party, is a
very good way of trying to hide the nausea
occasioned by that "pill'' Gen. Hampstead
gave portion of your party to swallow.
Keep cool, neighbors, and tell us whether
the undisgaised and sneering terms in
which the come-outers were alluded to by
General Hampstead, was not, to some ex-
tent, rather hard dose. We agree with
you, neighbors, In view of the great ne
ce~sity for assistance which exists in your
ranks at this time, that it is decidedly
polite in your party to open the doors of
your philanthropic home and take back
the Wandered "the returning prodigal -
but is it not double-dyed hypocrisy to
pretend, while doing this thing, that all
past errors, as you seem to consider the
fact of an individuals joining the Amer
lean Party, are forgiven, and secretly in
your hearts to loathe the embrace of the
prodigal, openly in conclave to hiss the
applicant for admission to the ranks, and
publicly to denounce, as unworthy of con-
fdence, the seeker after "absolution ?'-
All these things have been done; and
we are certain, from unmistakable ev-
licences in the premises, that the writer in
the Democrat does not reflect the senti-
ments of the party whose ever-shiftine
doctrines he advocates with so little regard
for the courtesies which should mark the
intercourse between friendly disputants
For ourselves, and for the party whose
principles We are proud of, we have only
to say, that we hurl back with defiant and
contemptuous seorn, the epithets, which
the editors of the Democrat see fit to ap.
ply to men who consider their principles.
