SENATOR HGLE ON LINCoLN.-Sena-
tor Hale recently addressed a Republi-
can meeting in New York. In the course
of his remarks he said that he believed
that Linooln's nomination was the very
best that could be made, for he knew
him to be AN HONEST MAN. He had
known him in Congress, in Office, and
at home, and ho could tell them that
when Mr. Lincoln entered the White
House, it will be uutrammeled, unpledg-
ed, and without a horde Of hungry
hangers on ready to plunge their arms
into the public treasury elbow deep. If
he is President, nobody l0aL be PTesiden

John Bell on Slavery.

The Richmond Whig, whiehiso strong
Bell paper, desires it to be kept before
the people, for their distinct remem-
brance-
That John Bell says that Humanity
to the slaUe, no Tess than justice to The mas
ter, demands that SiaUery should bcc1tsud-
ed"
We suppose there are some calm con-
sorvutive people in Ohio, who intend to
vote for John Bell though they have
had Moses and the Prophets, and one
has risen from the dead to tell them diff
ferently.
OF such people-conservative people,
who believe in keeping things just as
they aro-tranquil people who take good
maps after dinner, and whose "well
rounded bowels of compassion" gently
bulge their waistcoats-we would like to
know how they like such pro-slavery
sentiments as the above.
Here is q proper virtuous man for
you'll Humanity to the slave, no less
than justice to the master, demands that
slavery should be extendedl'
Humanity to the slave demands that
new lands shall be cursed with his pres
enoel Humanity demands that men
shall be bougbtnnd sold, that little child
rem shall be torn from their mother
arms, that young girls shall be bred to

Whenever you hear a squat SOW. Dem
ocrat claiming that Douglas and his
party are in favor Of a homestead bill,
Just ask him to show you the plank in
his platform that says so, or commits
his party to such a measure. That
platform was framed to represent the
sentiments of Douglas Democrats, and
it received the special Endorsement Of
Douglas himself in his letter of ac-
ceptance.
The great Homestead question, Sec
ond in importance only to the slavery
issue, is ignored in the Douglas plat
form. Is the Homestead lodged or
opposed? Here is what is said:
"That we protest against any sale or
alienation to others of the Public
Lands held by actual settlers, and
against any view oE the Free Home
stead policy, which regards the settlers
as paupers or suppiants for public
bounty; and we demand the passage by
Congress of the complete and satisfac-
tory Homestead Measure, which has
already passed the House"
The man that expects the Douglas
party to pass the Homestead bill is a
poor dcluded dupe, wickodly imposed
upon by dishonest leaders, who know
better and it is the duty of Republi.
cans to search out these simple-minded
confding Democrats, and explain to
them the truth of the matter, and open
their eyes to the fraud that is being
practiced upon these victims of mis-
placed oon6dence.-[Chioago Press and

exercise the right of reproof with ex-
traordinary candor and plaiuness, though
it is to be feared that their remOnstran-
ces are frequently unavailing. Some
months ago the Censors protested against
the conduct of the Emperor, against
his drunkenness and dissipation, his at.
tachment to actors, and love of low so.

published in the Pekin Gazette, and
circulated throughout the length and

Walkers Last Hour---His Protest.
A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing from Truzillo, gives
some details of an interview with Walk
er after his capture. He says:
While on board the Icarus, 1 had a
conversation with Walker who handed
me the original correspondence which
had passed between himself and the
British Commander, which he said he
would like to have published. He also
requested me to write out, at his dicta-
ton, brief protest against his surren-
der to Honduras authorities. His die
tation was calm and deliberate, giving
me ample opportunity to write down
every word before pronouncing the next.
While 1 was thus engaged, an officer
approached and informed me that L
could receive no communication for
duplication from the prisoners. This
seemed to trouble Walker who then
asked me to look over the papers and
note them we'll. The officer thoreupon
reported to the captain, who promptly
came up and told me to take whatever
papers / pleased from the prisoner for
publicatiou or otherwise. accordingly
send you the original letters Of Capt
Salmon to Walker, the reply of Walker
in his own hand, and the "Protest,
which I wrote out at his dictation.
The fOlloWing is the protest referred
to:
PROTEST OF GENERAL WALKER.
I hereby protest before the civilized
world, that when 1 surrendered to the
captain Of her Majesty's steamer Icarus
that officer expressly received my sword
and pistol, ms well as the arms Of Colo.
mel Rudler, and the surrender was ex.
pressly and in so many words to him
as the representative of her Britannia
