Mary la aad Election.

We give in another place lelegraphit
report OF the scenes of riot and rutfiansn
in B,l,mure, on the day OF the election
1t is admitted on all hands, that for year:
past, the elections in Baltimore, Louisville
| Nrw Orleans, and other Southern citi g.
have been worse than farces. No one
preteuds that the rulers are elected by the
people. The Bowie knife, the revolver,
the slung-shot and bIuJgeor, ii the bal
lots lha' pIacs their officers in power. The
streets iun red with blood, and pl udent
men are glad to save their lives by sacli-
icing their rights as citizens. The mob
rules, law is SET at defiance, and murder.
ers and ballot box suffers place their ac-
completes III the seats of power. OF I'll. Sc
things there is no doubt. ....
And over these disgaceful proceedings
The Democratic press can belch out their
ottest Indignation, for in these instances
it happens 20 be their party Which feels
the heel OF lawless power upon its ne k.
We could sympalhize with them in their
seeming Indignation, If we believed them
honest in its expression. BrU no one can
remember the marderous gangs Of re-
deemless rufiians, which that party
hurled upon the honest settlers of Kansas,
and the outrages there committed. without
feeling that the whlrlvind they are now
reapng. is but the legitimate harvest Of
the wind they have sown.
But how long can the forms of an cleo
tive government be- maintained, when cleo
lions are Il mere mockeTy? Freedom OF
speech and the press having been tffectu-
ally suppressed, BY the united action Of
the Democratic aud American parties. in
the South, why should the p.elense OF
the freedom ot elrclions BE- mainlained?--
Blule force and mulderous weapons con
troll in all things else, and the elections
will not long be all exception. The ac-
cepled doctrine Of all parties there. or a,
least !he two controlling parties. is, that
''mgh, makes right, and carrying ii into
prac,lce. Democratic leaders are APP
pauded lor the attempted assassination Of
II Sumner, in the Senate Chamber. and
the successful murder Of Broderick. in
California; and why not the leaders of the
Plug Uglies and Rlp-Raps receive the
same honors for advancing the same prin-
ciple in their own way? Is not this
popular sovereignty" Are not these
popular sovereIgns regulating their af-
laIrs in their own way?" And if that way
don't happen to suit Democracy, they
ought 10 remember that, having invented
the sham, they are estopped from com
planning if i, is applied to themselves. Z

Hon. Joshua R. Giddings recently de-
livered lecture in Philadelphia son the
Harper's Ferry tragedy. to an immense ap-
dience. There is ful! verbatim report
@ Of the speech in the Cincinnati 4.GaSette, .
which we would like to transfer to our
columns, but have not the Space. We
give in another llace. SO muehef the lec-
~ture AS shove his acquaintaneeand cor
respondence with Brown, which we hope
none Of our readers will fail to read .,,..-...
The Democratic papers are fairly shrek
ing with sham horror at the completely of
= Giddings in the instruction. or course
r2 they do not believe word Of themselves,
but hope to inflame the popular mind and
operate upon the ignorant and prejudiced
g for political effect. They are. however.
overriding the thing so palpahly that we
are sure it will react against them.
The entire ground upon which they
formed their fanatic 'anling, is statement
in letter supposed 10 be written by
Browns son, in which this passage occurs:
"Our old friend. j. r. g., took stock to
the amount Of So" On the strength of
this. every Lecompton paper in the coun-
try. assuming that j. R. G. meant Mr..
Giddings-which it probably did-boldly
asserted thai Giddings was in the secret
Of Browns movements--was his intimate
friend and adviser, and that Brown WAS
simply his instrument; and that Chase.
Seward, Hale and the leading Republicans
of the United States were the real instiga-
tors OF the movement. And to give
more force to their charges, they dehber-
ately altered the letter SO as to make it
read $500 instead of SO, and with this
admitted forgery, the deliberate sander is
still flung upon the public in rehash by
every Democratic paper.
The whole thing is set in it's true light
by Mr. Giddings, whose truthfulness even
his bltlerest enemies never questioned
While he is charged with holding ultra
sentiments, he has Eever been suspected
Of hiding them. Indeed. the chief objec-
ton to him has been his perfect openness,
and the entire recklesSness OF public opin.
ion, in the expression of his sen'iments.-
In this very lecture he has reiterated. in
stronger terms than ever before, hi, ex-
tremest opinions. Instead OF taking back,
or in any way modifying any of his sen,i-
ments, he has reiterated and intensified
them.
No one who has the slightest acquaint-
ance with Mr. Gidd ngs will doubt for
moment the absolute truth of his state
ment. The Cincinnati "Gazette'' we'll
says that in his lecture is abundant food
for serious reflection, not only to the peo-
pie Of the North but of the South us we'll.
