Ticknor & Fields upon it, but we do not
think it gives evidence OF their superior

in every particular, except in his cough and
voice, which grow worse. He has resigned

THE WAY TO SToP DUELLING.--if every
State in the Union would but follow the
example of Illinois, the time would soon
come when such tragedies as that in which
Senator Broderick lost his life would be
unknown. The Chicago Press and Tribune
revives the history of the first duel that was
ever fought in that State. In the year 1920,
Alphonso Stewart and William Bennett
fought with rifles in st. Clair county, and
Stewart fell MORALLY wounded on the first
fire. Bennett made his escape into Arkan-
sas, where he remained two years His
whereabouts was discovered, he was arrested,
brought back, indicted, tried, CONNECTED of
murder, and executed. Bond, who was then
Governor of Illinois, was necessarily be-
seiged by the friends cf Bennett and the
advocates of the "gentlemen's code who
prayed for his pardon. But the Governor
turned a deaf ear to all their clarnorings and
the majesty of the offended law was vindi-
Gated. Bennett was publicly hung, and
dueling in Illinois was crushed out 1t is
a bloody practice and requires rigid treat
ment. ...-..... ...... 49,

had as good right to go to Harper's Ferry
as any iillibuster to go to Cuba, or any dis

adds: "When the propagandists of slavery
shall punish their traitors, it will be time
enough for them to call upon the North to
punish its lawless abolitionists."
The Democrat certainly sayors of aboli-
tionism.

A JUsT VIEW OF THE MArTER.-The No
tional Intelligencer, always prudent apd eau
tious in what it says, remarks as follows
upon the instruction in Virginia and the
agitation of slavery
Without the irritations and heartburn
ings engendered by the slavery controyer-
sy,' we should not have been called to wit
ness transactions eliminating in such an
excess of infatuation and malignity-a
statement which we make with no purpose
of assessing the responsibility of the parties
to the controversy, but solely for the pur-
pose of giving fresh point and iteration
to the recommendation we haveso constant
ly urged in deprecating the continuance of
an agitation soon to be so fraught with mis-
chief. If the past is irrevocabIc, the future
still lies before us, depending for its CON-
plexion on the warp and woof which Time,
with his shuttle, shall weave into the web
of History. If there has been a chronic
state of elimination and recrimination be-
tween the North and the South, until the
distemper peryading the body polite breaks
out in shape like that which has diseased
the intellects of the Harper's Ferry conspira-
tors, it appears plain to us that those who
incte and those who nouriSh these agita-
tons are equally pursuing path beset by
perils to their misguided followers, and that
every consideration of patriotism and pru-
dence combines to prove the necessity Of
putting period to a controversy which as
it should never have been provoked, so
should it no longer be allowed to usurp the
Fictitious prominence it has assumed. ~

lie will leave the cUudtry in about four
weeks, having Completed his plans Tor
future operations. His leading friends have
been busy ever since MIR. Buchanan's n1mi-
nation at Cincinnati, full y resolved om Mr..
Pierce's denomination. 10. Their apparent
friendship for Douglas was only an excuse
for turning the cold shoulder to the Admin
istration. Mr.. Doughs and his friends will
ultimately receive their most damaging blow
from the friends of the ex-President, while
the latter, and his confidential friends, will
aver that he is not a candidate for the Office
in question. This is an important item in
his plans, and the game was so successful in
1852 that too much confidence is given to it
now. He is to have no votes until Douglas,
Wise, Hunter, Guthrie. Breckenridge, and
all other leading candidates shall have been
used up, and then a sudden rally is to be
made for the ex-President, with a united
South leading off in his support, to be back
ed instantly by all his friends from the free
States, who have been secretly secured as
delegates Mr.. Ferney Will he active for
Pierce, as will Gen. @. III. Peaselee, Jefferson
Davis of Mississippi, Caleb Cushing, Sidney
Webster, and Col. George, Of Concord Gen.
Pierce will spend the winter at Bermuda
rather than at Madeira, as he can better COM
municate from the former than the latter
place with his friends at Washington and
elsewhere during the winter, and, in case OF
his nomination, he will return to this coun-
try in May next, landing at Charleston.
