FHLIGUsrER WALsrE. \ report comes by
way Of Havana that William Walker and
Col. Rutler, his most prominent officer, have
been shot by order Of the government of
Honduras, at Truxillo. The report seems to
be credited in the city papers. We judge
there will be very little mourning for his
death among men Of sense and honesty. So
far as we have observed, he never showed
himself to be anything better than an I'M
principled adventurer, destitute ofseneralshlp
or statesmanlike qualities, who was ready to
use the means aud sacrifice the lives Of Others
for his own selfshly ambitious purposes, and
quite careful to keep his own head out Of
harm S way if he could. To the disgrace Of
our Nation, the Administration showed itself
quite ready to favor, by indircetion, his fla
gitious doings-yet we suspect they are glad
that he is at last of their hands. lie could
bring rcproach on them but could do them
no good.

The political pot has
been boiling pretty furiOusly here, this last week.

papers keep you well posted as We are, about
the poor prospects of fusion, ons the scattered
fragments of shams opposed to us. Republicans, as
far as can see, are qaite Indifferent to their
troubles, or the results Of them; and arc sure Of
swinging this State clear over every thing.
A great Mass Meeting of " all opposed to section
alsn is called for tomorrow nj light, at which all
that money can do will be done to get up crowd
and show. I never saw meeting so extensively

OF whom said. II trust we shall have Con-

said, "Nothing is more certainly written in
% that the Book of Fate than those people
" meaning the slavesl are to be free And
they were called Statesmen What an i'm
mense progress we have made in these seven
ty years They would be called ,impletons

ing OF the great doctrine Of " raricfy =
which was very fo0lisb-or, if they knew it,
they plotted the destruction of popular free
dom by advocating uniformify-wh GER
talnly was very reasonable. BY the way,
the name of one was George Washington,
and the name Of the other Thomas jefferson.
You will be obliged to confess that you were
very much mistaken in these two men. What
pity Judge Douglas did not live in those
days. How he would have knocked his
great doctrine Of rdriefy about their ears -
How he would have taught Washington
what the definition Of our Federal system is
How he would have told Jefferson what the
great safeguards ofliberty are
But alas such Statesmen are sometimes
born not only out of season, but also out of
place. What a pity Judge Douglas does not
live in Switzerland, the oldest Republic now
cxtant. Those benighted people, the Swiss,
have been for centuries indulging in the
foolish delusion that they were free ,nd that
they had federal system of government.-
Why, there IS no slavery in Switzerland
there is not tho necessary variety Of institu-
ton there Their States are all Free States.
There is uniformity there. How can they have
Federal institutions with uniformity? How
can there be liberty without variety? I'm
possible. Poor, innocent souls they think
they are free, and have no slaves.
