Again, on page l75 Of Helper, we find much

Dir. Faulkner argues at length that, as slave prop
erty is a nuisance, and injurious to society," it may
be DESTROYED or abolished, without the owner hav-
ing any right to compensation We quote few
samples:

It must be admitted that at the present day this
would be considered incendiary languages and it is
not surprising that book which contains good
deal of this style Of eloquence should be dlspeasng
TO the statesmen whose former opinions are thus
distinctly set forth.
But it is not on this account that we object to
Mr.. Faulkner In our view he is not bit more
DISQUALIFIED by his former Free-SOGsm than were
those two renegades Of New-YOrk John A. DIX
and John Van Buren,, either Of whom would have
sold his Immortality to get this very French mis-
sion.
We resist Mr.. Faukners appointment, no
because he was an Abolition a quarter of o
century ago but because ne ia Disunionist now.
Only the ether day, he is reported to have spoken
in public commendation Of Gov. Wise's famous plan
Of seizing on Washington if Col. Fremont had been
elected President. This alone is sufficient reason
why he should be excluded from every honor and
every office in the gift of the American Govern
ment. The man who can contemplate revolution
and civil war with compacency is not fit to repre-
sent the republic at any foreign Court. We hope
the Republican Senators will not merely oppose
MIR. Fsukners confirmation to the last, but Will
see that the debates respecting him are held in
open session, so that the public may know who
lodges and who faces the subject like man.
And we remind the Democrats that the nomination
aud confirmation of Mr.. Faulkner, under the CIR
cumstances, will only the more ineradicably Tx
upon that party the charge of Dlsunlonlsm, 70
which all its recent proceedings have rendered II
liable. The appointment of Mr. Faulkner is
agrant act OF hostility to the UniOn let US see il
the Senate will venture upon its contamination
