uR. BELLS SPEECH.

Mr.. Bells speech ut Philadelphia, IN .acknowl.
edqment of his nomination for the Presidency by
fine Baltimore Convention, will be found in another
column. In the spirit OF the platform, or no
platform on which he has been placed he processes
to avoid all discussion of the topics OF the day
and of the issues by which the country IL agitoted
He sets down the whole controversy between
slayeholding and free labor-which, ever since the
annexation of Texas, has formed the main staple
of our politics-as mere abstract discussion,
which can BE- dropped, and which ought to be
dropped nj once. so that the attention of the
country may he directed to its great " vital and
- material interests"
But while Mr.. Bell proposes to drop this dis
question: he fails to tell by what process he would
have that result brought about. Would he have
the sayeholding interest withdraw those pretcn-
sions and cease from those encroachments by
which the abstract question of Slavery has been
perpetuallv made concrete, and in that character
constantly pressed from the time Of the annexa-
tion of Texas downward, upon the attention Of the
country? Or would he have the Free Labor
States withdraw the opposition they have felt
Themselves obliged to make to these pretensions
and encroachments and silently yield oil the points
in dispute
A controversy which has agitated the country
for twenty-five years, which has destroyed and
swallowed UP the once powerful Wing party when
has split the Democratic party lnto TWO hos'iie
fragments. and which has called the Republican
marty into exstence--such controversy as this Is
not likely to be stilled at the mere bidding OF "a
Baltimore Convention or by the voice oil Mr. Ben
Both the Wing and the Democratic parties wer
engaged for years in attempting to suppress the
discussion of the question Of Slavery, and what
they failed TO bring about does not seem very
likely TO be accomplished by few Respectable
elderly gentcmenfrOm yariousparts OF the country
or even BY their distinguished and excellent cand-
date for the Presidency.
Whether slaves are regarded by the Constitution

fellow -ctizens--granting al this for the sake Of
argument, what has he gained, what could he gain,
by going to jail lie must first convince the peo-
pie that there is anything to go to ai for before he
can command their sympathy for that act
His conscience would not permit him to
submit to the assumption of authority on
the part of the Committee. Why then put himself
in the way of arrest, from which he could have no
released But he was willing to testify voluntarily
Why then did lie rot do SO when in Washington
from February 1 TO February 81, or when ne
was finally arrested why did he not tell the CON-
miiiee all that he knew, or that he knew nothing,
while at the same time, following the example oi
Mr. Andrew, he protested in words against 'ho'r
right to ask him anything or like Dr. Howe en'erea
protest to the same purpose IN Writing we
believe the sense of what is due to themselves iS
quite AS keen in those gentlemen as in Mr. Hyatt.
We believe their Judgment M to what II was BEST
TO do TO assert their rights, quite as respectable as
Lis. A conscientious duty vast be discharged ny
al three, and they discharged it quite as much as
he. Whether their way or his way was the better,
is narrowed down TO o mere question OF ex-
pediency. We prefer theirs.
We prefer il for reasons already given, and also
.or Others We have no respect for rose-water
martyrdom. Manyrdom is very serious aud a
very respectable thing and we do not like to see 1t
cheapened If Mr.. Hyatt chooses TO put himself
in the way Of being provided with residence in
the Washington Jail, out Of which he can walk the
moment he chooses, by following the example OF
men quite as wise and quite conscientious as
himself We do not feel ourselves called upon To hold
him UP as a great sufferer for great principle.
He settles nothing and eucidates nothing by re-
mining in confinement, except the power OF the
senaie to punish for contempt; he does not avail
himself of the privilege of the writ OF habeas eorPps
to test the legality of his imprisonment; he does
not ask, or does not induce, his friends IN the
Senate to bring up for discussion in that body the
question of their power; he remains in jail on a
Technically of legislative etiquette, and we nave
too much respect for martyrdom to acknowledge
that it comes under that category. We need hrst
to be convinced that any sacred right OF the citizen
has been violated in his person, and next that his
is the most judicous way of asserting that right.

contract to clean the streets. That branch OF the
public service is nothing more than hospital for
mendicant voters, and between the City inspector
and the Aldermen it seems likely to remain so
