published. in the Third District Of Illinois, says
some hard things of its representative, Hon.
Owen Lovei6y, who, it appears, partly BY his
own admission, went to Congress to revenge
the death of his brother. The democrat says
that, during his boisterous and abusive speech
the other day, he was very careful not to men
ton how he had defraudcd the disconsolate
widow of his brother out, of the small estate
left her by her husband, leaving her depen-
dent upon the cold charities Of the world. The
sister OF the unfortunate widow is also an in
mate of the Lee County (Iowa) poor-house.

The issue,

We regard the Withdrawal of these Dele.
gates as altogether warrantable and just. The
States they represented had perfect right to
expect of the Convention full and avowed
recognition of their rights and their Delega,
tions were mainly appointed with this view
many Of them being pledged to stand or fall
lby it.. Failing to secure this avowai, they
were compelled to deny their allegiance to the
doctrines declared blythe refusal, and they had
either to sit tamely by and assent, by their
continuance with the body. to the assumption
| That they had demanded more than they were
/ Justly ontitled to, or to seccde. A compromise
Of principle in this regard would but have serr-
ed to ryet the nails ofoppression which the
Emaiority Of the anti-slavery States have long
been striving to "drivo home. on their South
ern; co-proprietors in the territories Of the
Union. 1,.I3sss.
II IS true, the result of this division is preg
inant with Importance to the Union; but the
question involved being one of principle, not
effect, it wa; really a paramount consideration
ttosthat of the perpctnity of the union between
Northern and Southern Democrats. The only
disappointment we have experienced under the
circumstances is that the South was Lot united
upon this issue,in actionSas well as by profes-
sion and interest .s$
KS Let the South but yield to the principle that
Ethe people ola territoryalaye a right to legis-
late upon the question of slavery Wilde that
Territory remains in the condition in which it
|, Is the common $propertysof the States, and
ttheYyield up no mere aBstraction-they yield
Thereby sacred right, and a consequent COM
promise Of honor is Effected. The subterfuge
Eof leaving the question tos the Supreme Court
4or decision Is no guaranty .9that the principle
WILDE insiolably y,defended. The Constitution
siisguaranty is just one and We can see no
reason why its provisions SHOULD not be pro-
tsetcd blythe General Government. The in
stifntion Of slavery at thu time ofthe adoption
of this noble: instrument Was not only recog-
nized, but; tolerated and scnjoyed by the par
ties Hereto; and now thatsit is found unproft-
able certain sections, forsooth it must be left
