The Bid.

The Hon. JuDGE FowE's remarkably
able and interesting speech 1T Fond du Lac
on late occasion is received and read
Subject, the Fugitive Slave Law, and its
monstrosities. His argumentproves clear
y that under this law any citizen of any
State, the Governor or Vice President Ham
lin, or old Abe, or Beriah Brown, may he
lawfully seized, tried, convicted and forced
to Georgia as fugitive slave-no power
anywhere to hinder. Yet, the Judge ac-
knowledges no legal power on earth save
the mob which he deprecates as being able
to extricate any one of those gentlemen
from such bonds in event of his being tax
en- to Georgia. The State authorities, rea-
sons the Judge, have not the lawful power,
nor even the federal government except BY
repeating the Fugitive Slave Law; and ey-
en- then the effect would not be re respective
but only apply to future cases. N{edo hold
that the State courts have something to say
in defending their citizens by habsas corpus
or otherwise from illegal arrest and deten-
ton.
The speech is able as we said, interesting
and conclusive as to the dangers Of the law.
We may publish some Of it, and it ought
to b. read, especially by such Of our Dixon
doughfaces as have entertained hopes Of
some day meeting Judge Howe in their
festive halls. This speech is high bid for
the Senatorship; it may win, and if SO we
shall not be alarmed nor even sorry, for
Judge Howe is a man Of irreprcachable
pri, ate character and unimpeachable integ-
rity. His error on State Rights was a
blunder, and pride kept him from aeknowl-
edging it. He now explains it most a
away by red hot hatred Of the Fugitive
Slave Law; he hugs the blunder and
blazes away at the unconstitutional law
We'll, We have something appropriate from
Milton, but It wont come up at our bid
ding. "Teach me but this, that thou art
good and that myself am Blind" or some
thing Of the kind from Pope will do as well
for the penitent Judge while bowling and
praying for tho U. s. Senatorship before
! the legislative bar.

Allies have captured Pekin. The Emper-

immense spoils taken. The Emperor had
fed to Tartary. The Allies were to win

The Difference Bet-we en- Small
ana Large Game.

The pretense is that the Administration
is powerless in this great emergency Of
Southern treason. For moment we call
attention to sundry small sebellions, and
see how prompt the Administration was in
sending the military to suppress the same !:
The Mormon fanatics of Utah set the
authorities at defiance some years ago; the
government despatched the army thither to
coerce the rebels, without submitting to any
compromise.
The Kansas settlers resisted the Missouri
invaders and border rufians, and again the
government was prompt in sending the
army to help the rufians put down the per
secuted settlers.
When old John Brown and handful
of fanatics, not over twenty, attempted to
revolutionize Virginia, the government
despatched in haste the military force to
suppress the treason.
Latest Of all a bare rumor that Mont
gomery with 200 confederates were at
lacking Missouri and the federal forts,
brought orders to Gen. Harvey to march
in moment and suppress the treason
The rumor was hoax, but The troops
acted promptly in marching mp the hill
then marching back again.
Such are the measures of coercion, wher
small enemies are to be met, not to men,
ton the many instances Of coercing the
feeble Indians. But when a whole State Oh
dozen States rebel against the Constitution
and the laws, and slice the government
then the forts, arsenals and custom houses
NAV be surrendered without calling out &
single trouper to suppress the treason
Yea, in the very cabinet and all the depart
ments Of government, traitors publicly
avowing treason, are kindly dealt with
kept in Office and humored as children

Prelnonitions.

The smallpox drove the secession CON
sention from Columbia to Charleston, and
they took refuge in the Baptist Church,
which has since been destroyed by fire.
But one of the three great destroyers has
vet to oyertake them-fhe sword, which
hangs over that apostate body as if by a
single thread. The gaIlows may relieve
them from this last calamity. Gods
judgments arc bound to follow in direct
order. Politicians with their compromises
play protraet the time, bnt the fates Weld
to acthing-not even the innocents. The
wonder is, that in the face of history ex-
tending through nations for 5000 years,
this is not all known to every man in the
civilized world. But, the same decree
which sends disease, fire aud the sword,
throws the veil over the faces Of the wise
that they may be blind to forthcoming
events. No monarch ever could see his
destiny--though pointed out by his feeblest
subjects. The slaves in Cesar's reign knew
more than Brutus Of what should follow
slaves subsequently raised SUCCESSORS to the
throne. This is what Jefferson meant
when he referred to a change in the wheel
offortune, when slaves would rise to power
and the masters sink--unless justice be
done in time to these blacks. We are no
alarnist, but these things, planted by our
fathers, have taken deep root and must
bear the usual fruits. They ought not to
have been planted; worse than all, they
ought net to have been watered and cult
waited, when it was known the tree of lib
erty produced better fruit.

own mind whether such are not his frail-
ties; We do not expect him to acknowledge
publicly that such are his inmost defects,
but for bis own good We recommend to
him a study of himself as seen by others.
Thereby, he may render himself more hap
py, more benevolent and charitable. more
favorable to the interests Of Others at the
sacrifice of some Of his interests, less vain,
less avaricious, less scold and more able
to understand that be attracts fsr Jess at
tention than he now believes. We long
ago learned that editors are Of less account,
attract less attention and WELD less mfiu-
ence than they believe. The FITNESS ed
|itor has never learned all this, or if he eyel
learned it he conceals his knowledge, Which
no editor 81 ould do.
