GEN T II uAMKaSn


Mn. EDIron II send you for publication tic fol.
lowing wcll-merited tribute to Gov. HAMMOND. from
tlc Washington Correspondence Of the New Orleans
Cre4cem. 1t will be observed he draws contrast
striking indeed between the dignity of the sentiments
given utterance to by our Senator and "thc garish
flashes of hasty resentment made use of by DoGG-
LAS, TooMBs SEWARD, HALE and others. These
few well. timed remarks Of Senator HAMMOND reclaim
for while the ancient reputation Of the American
Senate, md light up for moment, in rcsIlcnlent
col.rs, the memory Of the duys when the Senate
House resounded with the clash of such ntellccts
CALHOUN, LOwyDEs, McDrprIE, CLAYa and WEBSTER;
md throw shade Of insgnilicance over the low bids
for popular favor always induscd in ny the leaders
Of turbulent fnction.
"The war movement in the Senate brought out
Senator Hammond in shurt speech, the most sens-
bic Of any yet mado. He thought it ridiculous to be
smusglcl into war which would change tho face Of
human uffairs, by I'M amendment to M amendment.
4" Let throw with due sulcmnity the bloody spear.
How statesmanlikc this calm speech compared
with the BOmbasus Turioso efforts Of Seward, Wnde
and Douglas OIL Saturday-each Of whom strained
himself TO he furious than the other, md not
ono Of whom (except perhaps old Wade, dirty
coarse hrutc) would fight determined tadpOle in u
single combat. Hammond has not one grain Of the
deuagusue in him. He would make glorious Prcsi-
dent. Ii VIC are to have y Democrat next time,
am not sure that would not prefer Hammond to
Hunter. lie has Hunters wisdom, without Hunters

grunble so much about other things, if they could
only get good shoes aud good luctr matches. Among
the goods Of life there few things necessary
to comfort and good humor, than good shocs und

TERRIBLE AFFAIR IN FLORIDA.

We received, Yesterday, the following letter
from Tampa, in which is recorded one OF the
greatest outrages that ever d,sgraced country
of law. We have no personal knowledge Of the
writer, and the reader will form his own opinion OF
its reliability. From recent indications from that
quarter, We entertain but little doubt Of the cor
rectness of his statements. We cannot believe,
however, that mere political hostility is sufficient
to drive men to such desperate extremit:es.
Touching the appeal OF the writer for protec.
ton, we can only refer him to the Governor OF
Florida, whose duty it is to crush out, by aid ot
the military if necessary, all such diabocal pro-
ceedings and their authors.
TAMPA, Fla, June 9th.
EDITOR REpUDLlcAN-Dear Sir: The existence

doubtless, known to you; and, rs law-abiding
citizen OF this city, feel it to be my duty to
state certain facts to the world with reference to
said committee, and ask . place i'll your columns
tor the publication of them, as our little paper
here, and in fact every paper in this portion OF
the State is either iu league or fear OF their vigil
lance and tyranny.
This morning four of our most prominent
men, to wit: john J. Early, Dewitt Lucian,
Jerome Baker, and Col. J. Alfonso Crockett,
were found hung to as many trees in the suburbs
Of our city. Intense excitement exists, and
many of orr citizens are now under arms, for
the protection Of law.abiding citizens, who dare
to raise their hands against these midnight as.
sissins.
Another remarkable feature i, this, every one
Of these men were members Of the American
Party Is it 4 prescription? Col. Crockett and
Mr. Early leave Interesting families to deplo:e
their loss, while the death Of all has cast gloom
over this community, from which it will not
shortly recover.
They were followed to the grave by about two
hundred persons, and remarkable 10 say, there
were but two democrats in the concourse, one of
whom was the sexton.
You may rely upon this being strictly correct; /;
and my excuse for thus addressing q stranger,
is but that "naked truths might come to lght," !"
and these damnable assassius may receive their
just merits.
AS the friend of Americans, ask that you
make All appeal to the General Government, for
protection, or ut least deinsnd'a an investigation.

A BoUNTEoUs SEASON.

Within the last day or two this vicinity has been
blessed with profuso showers. The land has been
thoroughly soaked, and the early corn may be pro-
nounced safe There now remains but little doubt
that this crop in Edsefeld will be most abundant
one perhaps une1ampled in the history of the district
From al parts the reports highly favorable to this
conclusion and these latter rains, general as they
seem to have been must render the calculation next
to certain. An old farmers saying i.: "if your
ground is too wet to plow ON the 4th Of July look
out for fine yield Of corn" Such is tho case now.
Let us then praise His who greth sll things
literally, and Look forward with thankfulness to the
good time coming And let our coru-sccrs sacken
