Great on Courts.

The Douglas Democracy are great Oh
Court-ing. If they wish to upset the
entire policy of the government. they in
woke the aid of Court. If they want
to fasten slavery upon an unwilling peo-
pie, they do i, by a decision of some Court.
And they have now got so used to calling
on Courts to aid them, that they apply
to Court if they want an office. For
Noble has invoked the aid of the Courts
in order to secure his election to Congress.

election, he will be canonized as salpt

Singalar Libel.

w. P. Noble is the Democratic candi-
date for, Congress in the Wyandot District
and he has sued the editor of the Wyan
dot Pioneer for libel, laying his damages
at the modest sum OF $4,000. The
libel consists in re-publishing fron the
report of Messrs. Morgan, Edgerton and
Reemeiin, some statement relative to his
connection with the Seneca County Bank
and the Breslin Gibson defalcation. The
Investigating Committee are Democrats,
and If Noble was libelled by their report,
they should be held responsible. The
idea of claiming $4,000 of an Ohio
editor is simply ridiculous. Noble does
not deserve VOTE Cleveland Leader.

The Assault upoa JIr. Hickman.

The attack upon Mr.. Hickman on Fri
day evening, Feb. 10Th, by EdmuadsOn Of
Virginia, created a good deal Of excite
ment among the OPPOSITION members.
The attack was entirely unprovoked, apd
was made BY large, stou. man, accOmpa
MED by two of his friends, upon weak,
slight, sick man, who was alone. Mr.
Hickman was walking down the Capitol
steps, when Ednundson approached him,
saying, "You made a speech the other
night at Wizards Hotel" 81 did," re-
Piled Mr.. Hickman. "And, d-n you,
you slaudered my State, you liar and cow
ard" continued Mr. Edmuudson, at the
same moment striking him with his cane
across the head Mr.. Hickman was
about to repel the assault, when he was
caught BY Vice President Breckinridge,
who led him away; Kei;t and Bouliguy
of New Orleans taking care of Edmund
son. 1t is reported that Keitt called out
to Breckinridge, alluding to Mr. HEX
man : "Take the hound away - 1t will
be recollected that 10th KeW and E3-
mandson rere tie instiyators cf the attack

thinks Mr.. Keit. had anything to do with
the recent outrage, except to separate the
parties. Understand that Nh Hickman
bled at the lungs freely the night and
morning after the brutal attack upon him
1t was remarked yesterday that Mr.. Breck-
inridge was in the House for half au hour,
and all the time he sat laughing with Ed
mundson, who, overcoat on and cigar in
his mouth, sat upon one of tie sofas in
the extremity Of the Hall, and tiually the
Eice-P President went out with his Eirgi
MIA friend, as if he meant to testify to the
House bis appreciation of the attack on
Mr.. Hickman. 1t must be remembered
that the brutal attack was unprovoked,
and if the excuse be offered for Edmund
son that be was ,ipsy, it will be replied
that when sober he made no apology.

Why do Children Die =?

The reason why children die, (says Halt S
Journal Of Heaih,) is because they are
not properly taken care of. From the
day of birth, they are stuffed with food,
choked with pbysie, sloshed with water,
sufTocated in hot rooms, steamed in bed
clothes. So much for indoor. When
permitted to breathe breath of pure air
once week in summer, and once or twice
during the colder months, only the nose
is permitted to peer into daylight. \ lit
Tie later, they are sent out with no clothes
at all on the parts Of the body which most
need protection. Bare legs, bare arms,
bare necks, girted middles, with an inver-
ted umbrella to collect the air, and chill
the other parts Of the body. A stout,
strong man, goes out on a cold day with
gloves and overcoaf, wooden stockings,
double-soed boots, with cork between and
rubbers over The same day, child Of
three years old, an infant in flesh and
blood and bone aud constitution, goes out
with paper-soled shoes, cotton socks, legs
uncovered TO the knees, and bare neck
an exposure which would disable the nurse,
kill the mother outright, and make the
father an invalid for weeks. Aud why ?
To harden them to a mode Of dress which
they never expect to practice to. To ac-
custom them to exposure which dozen
years later would be considered downright
foolery. To rear children thus for the
slaughter pen, and then lay it to the Lord,
is too bad We don't think the Almighty
had any hand in it. And to draw comfort
from the presumption that lie has any
agency in the death of the child, is pre-
sumption and profana:ion

Douglas new Slave Game.
Fir. Douglas Sedition Law.

Mr.. Douglas proposition for return to
the old Sedition Law-one Of the most OBJ
noxious and unpopular measures in our
Ilistory-was expected to gain him favor
at the South. But its prompt reputation
by Davis, and other Southern Senators,
shows this expectation to have been uu-
founded, while his supporters in the North
will fad it difficult to stand OH the plat
form be proposes.
Sixty years ago, the Federalists passed
Law like that which Douglas asks, Civ
ing the General Government power to as
sumo the existence Of "cOnspiracies aud
combinations and punish those charged
with them, and also giving it power to ex-
ereise despo;ic censorship over the Press,
such as the slavery Ex;eutionis,s would
gladly exercise now, punishing any person
who might speak disrespec,fully Of those in
Office. Had its real character been fully
appreciated at the time of its passage, is
would have failed to receive the approval
Of many good end patriotic men, who af-
terwarts deeply repented their share of
responsibility for it, The Law aroused
whirlaind of public Indignation, in which
the States of Virginia and Kentucky took
the lead, and which resulted in ous,ing the
Federalists from power, and ending their
existence as party. Matthew Lyon, who
was convicted under the Law and senten-
ced to 81 600 fine and four months' i'm
prisonmcnt, stepped from bis cell in Pris-
on to seat in Congress, and public senti-
ment, even after his death, compelled the
Government to do justice to his memory
by refunding the amount of his fine, with
interest, to his heirs.
1t is strange that Mr. Douglas should be
SO ignorant or so unmindful Of the lessons
of History as to dash himself against the
same rock which shattered the Federal
Party. If the Democracy adopt his poll.
cy, 1t will make finish of them. Their
opponents could ask nothing better than
to have them pass Sedtion Law, as
stringent as possible .-1lJaHy EeeainJ
