Rss-We iGtend TO publish the Speech
OF Senator Biglcr delivered in the Senate
upon the present issues of the day; hays
irg received it too late for this ISSUE.
A SHABBY PRrTExr.-Tho Repntican

tho real authors ofthe impending destruc-
,ion of our happy ceantry-1Gre just now

srpCn tine Democrats And how, reader,
do you suppose they undertake. this?
Why, they say that tue Democrats haSe
misrepresorted them to the South, have
charged them as bsing Abdiitiorists, in
abort, thatthe Democrats hUye toll this on
r-fem- Poor fellows, how we pity themI !
Trucly, they must be hard run when re-
sort to such shabby preteXts are rccessa-
ry. How much more manly, and brave,
and patriotic would it be for them to BE-
honest, and come out openly and acknowl
edge ,ohatH,6- Hearts tdltkeiR is huc-that,
in order to get the cUtes Of the AbolticnS
ISIS, in order that they might obtain pcs

tie pert Of .aGola;onii@ This would be
much more honorable than to raise the
cry of stop thief :" and if they would add
to their confession that, having now OBJ
tanned these flesh pots" they viii give
their late Abolition friends the cold shuul-
der, return to honest and patriotic habits,
sc have no doubt the South will gladly
forgive the past and take them again to
their confidence
You need not try to eseacc the respon-
utility of your conduct by making such
oGIish charges against the Democrats.
Geu will only make yourselves ridiculous.
You print papers as well as the Demo
j rats, and the Southern people read for
dcmselces. You make s. eechcs in Con-
gress, also, as well as the Democrats and
the blood-thirsty speeches .os Seward,
Wade Summer, Lorejoy and others, pub
he'd IN the GhJt--the 'oi1iciM paper of
Congress ciiculates South as well as
North. No Democrat could misrepresc,u
them. They were each fire-brand, and
perhaps desigaed to kindlc the fire that
now threatens to destroy the last hope of
the human race.

Of our own crimes and foilies, our own in-

Father.
Let us, then with deep contrition and
penitent sorrow, unite in humbling our,
selves before the Most High, in confess

in acknowledging the justice of our pun

from our hearts the false pride Of opinion
which would impel us to perscyere in
