divisions that have er1sued IN the party
Instead of going and treacherously whisper
ing his design not to support Hovey III Den
by, ears, why did he not, in a firm and
manly manner, declare it to Hovey on the
spot, and threaten him with an open opposi-
ton? Judge Law, by his own showing, has
betrayed, not only Hovcy, but the Demo-
cratic party, by introducing bitter schisms
and hatred into it by his vascilating and
hypocritical course. On him rests the
blame, and on his shaky head and shoulders
will all the responsibility and the curses Of
both parties deceived.
Judge Law still avows himself an ultra
anti-Lecomptonite and an extrayagant adj
mirer of Douglas. His laudations of the
little Giant were but a little less fulsome and
extravagant than Gen. 10. Lanes pane
gyric of Buchanan. Here are two old
worthless in the Lecompton cause, one falling
down on his knees and worshipping Bu-
chanan rs his lord and master-the dis
penser-in his eyes-of all worldly blessings;
and the other turns to Douglas, his rival
and bitter antagonist, and bends his head in
alteration to the rising sun. They adore
antagonis:ic deities, and yet profess the same
creed and labor in the same work. Lanes
course is consistent and logical he defends
the men and their principles and measures.
Law condemns all their measures and prin-
eiples as abllorrent and still upholds the
men. r..
On Saturday night he insulted the in
telligence and common sense ofhis audience
by weak attempt to show the anti-Le-
compton Democrats tina. they would sustain
their anti-Lecompton principles and the
Democratic platform by following his tortu-
Gus course, and voting for Niblack, the man
who had betrayed and misrepresentcd
them; and who still persists III juStifying
his treachery.
In making such appeals, Judge Law must
think the perceptions of those whom he ad-
dresses, are very blunt, that their principles
hang as loosely about them as a tattercd
shirt. For such insults to the honest mass
es, there is but one rcbukc for such aristo-
cratic sophiStS that they can be made to
feel, and that is, to repudiate their leader.
