DUFF GREEN ON LEcoMPToS.-Duf
Green, the war-horse of Southern Calhoun
Democracy, is out in the States in denun-
citation of Lecompton. He says:
Bishop Butler once said, i was con-
sidering whether, as individuals go mad.
whole nations may not also go mad
and adds 1t will be seen that men
may act en- nlasse as much in contradie
ton to common sense, to common inter
ests and experience, as if they were mis-
taking crowns Of straw for crowns OF
jewels and that millions of men may be
as easily dipped, cheated, and plundsred.
as the simplest dreamer, of waking
dreams, who takes counters for guinsa'.
and canvas for cloth of gold
am now an old man have sesn
much of the madness of party Leaders
but | have seen nothing. in all my expe-
renee. which so forcibly illustrates the
truth of this saying of Bishop Butler. IS
the proceedings Of the South on tie Ksn-
sas question.
Is there no member from the South who
has the intelligence to see this question IN
its deformity, with the Independents to
speak, and the nerve to act, as the repre-
sentative Of an intelligent, patriotic, and
honorable constituency should act, ans
in his place, denounce the filthy thing!
"Let one single. heightened SOutheru

and his constituents, for him IS Their

tiers now in Issue in the Kansas question

an honorable man should do. and sspa-
rate himself from the iniquity. II OHe

ScAxDALous. We have never seen
anything half Is scandslous IS the pro-
ceedings (a portion Of which We this
week publish) of the recent Convention
of Free Lover. Spiritualists, and Adolf
tionists, at Rutland, Vt. What is stran-
gest of all, is the fact that these fanatics
were permitted to carry on their disgrace
full proceedings until they saw st to stop.
without any hindrsnce from the legal au-
tborities. A bawdy house or lottery
would have been broken up instanter, and
the authorities would have pursued the
offenders to the utmost extent of the law;
but these male and female fanatics could
meet, and outrage all decency, morality.
and religion, strike at the foundation Of
society, plaspheme the name Of God, and
defy the laws of the land, and not an
effort was made to put them down, be-
cause. forsOoth, they called it the freedom
of speech. Yet this freedom of thought
and speech is destroying the peace Of
families. setting people crazy, and break
ing down all moral law. This same
Rutland Convention has had worse effect
upon society, and will result in more real
injury to society, than all the houses of
ill-fame, lotteries. gambling bells, robbers
dens and doggeries in the Eve largest cities
in the Union!
