1t is well that the public should be on their
guard against stories got up aud published in
some of the daily journals, sometimes with the
idle purpose of making a sensation column, aud
sometimes with the more mischievous end OF
feeding the public excitement and adding to the
sympathy for traitors which unhapply exists, in
some degree, in this community. We allude
more particularly to the alleged reports of the
evidence given daily before the Grand Jury,
now in session, and which is engaged in inqu-
res relating to the public peace and welfare, and
clearly within the scope Of their duties. AS the
proceedings before the Grand Jury are, by law,
and with good reason, secret it Ill becomes any
journal pretending TO respectabity, to attempt to
make them public, while the attempt ia in itself
proof that such journals resort to dshonorable
means TO acquire Information. We know to
positive certainty that some of these pretended
reports are absolutely and unequiyocally false,
aud We have right to presume, therefore, that
they all are, in all essential particulars. The
Grand Jury il composed Of welknown and re-
spectacle men, and it ia simple justice to suppose
that they understand their duty and adhere to it,
There is no reason for believing that any of the
| stories OF plots aud proposed invasons Of the
South for the purpose of exciting serye insurrec'
tons have any foundation except in the mischey.
Gus aud morbid inagIDatons OF designing men.

and they can never be at peace until those they
deserted for place shall have been brought down
to their present level They could endure the
posse-sion of power by the Republicans if they
could only feel that it had been purchased, as
they sought to clnrch it, by betrayal Of princi-
pie. But to see Mordecai sitting at the Kings
gate, and reflect TINT they might have sat there
also if they had been simply faithful to their con-
yictions, is the black drop that renders their
misery intolerable.
All that the Republicans ask is liberty to be
faithful to the cardinal principle of their organ
ization-uncompromi hostility to the Extension
of Slavery. To any concession which contra
yenes this principle they are, they must be, IN
flexibly opposed. Take any shape but that,
and they will be found as conciliatory and plaza
BILE as could reasonably be asked; but if our ad-
versaries want to consecrate new regions to
laveholding they must do it BY their own votes
of ours.

portant light upon the normal mental act vities.
This method Of studying mind in connection with
the whole being offers the hope Of an ultimate,
well-determined science Of human nature, and is
still mainly confined TO the physician. He up
proacLes the subject from the positive side, and
works under the pressure of practical needs, in
dyidual and social. The old metaphysical
method, which hardly deigns to ask question
concerning that wonderful organ by which reason
becomes possible, and docs not trouble itself
about physiological considerations, still prevails
in our colleges; 80 that a man may pass from
the University with its highest honors, f" literally
" educated" and still be as incompetent to crap
pie intelgently with questions which constantly
arise in the administration Of justice as if he had
lived thousand years ago. e. ~
Let us offer an illustration. In 18i3, the
British House of Lords called upon the Judges
OF the realm to declare authortatively in their col
lective capacity what state of mind constituted
insane irrespoDsbility. They decided that the
plea of insanity was only admissible where it was
proved that the criminal was incapable Of distiH-
gushing right from urong rhsn he committed the
crime-a decision which, if logically carried out,
would have opened the doors of every lunatic
asylum in England; for o large majority Of ac-
knowledged lunatcs, legally restrained in insane
institutions, do possess this knowledge. In fact,
the government of these establishments is now
conducted almost wholly upon the principle that
the insane have the knowledge of right aud
wrong. ...f on. -
II il by no means pretended that our knowl-
edge of mental arrangement ID 80 advanced that
the legal questions to which it gives rise can oil
be determined without difficulty. But these diff
ficuties have to be met; they cannot 90 evaded
action is inevitable. The only apparent ques
ton is, What kind of preparation is demanded to
meet the imminent requirements vi these cases
and this, we have SEEM is no longer m open
question. The study Of mind on the purely
metaphysical side wrought no practical
benefits; gave no relief in the daily recurring
contingencies Of experience; while the method
inaugurated by modern science, of studying man
through the living reactions Of body aud mud,
has already yielded the beue6cent fruit so
constantly insisted on by Bacon as the test OF
the true method-has already terminated one OF
the goonliest barbarisms Of the past. We have
drawn attention to this signal Illustration OF dill.
ferent modes of thought aud investigation, not
80 much for the intrinsic interest of the historic
facts as for their unmistakable significance.
They exemplify and demonstrate the bearings OF
actual science upon mental phenomena, and thus
establish principles which embrace far more e1'
tended applications than have hitherto been &C.
corded to them.

Mr. Rust of Arkansas, in the course Of an
absurd speech in the House of Representatives
yesterday, referred to the Chicago Platform, and
said that John Brown was the hero and martyr
Of the Republican party. Mr. Dunn of Indiana,
in reply, remarked that the Chicago Platform
especially condemned John Browns raid, aud
expressed his surprise that any gentleman would
give currency 70 such an infamous LIBEL on the
Republican party. Mr.. Rust clustered aud talked
Of wsgng war; and demanded to know if the
gentleman from Indiana was responsible for
what be said. Mr.. Dunn replied that he was
responsible; but afterward explained that no did

libel, but merely to say that the accusation
against the Republicans Of sympathy with John
Browns raid was such q libel. Mr. Rust, how
ever, was not satisfied, and demanded an I'M

to give Upon which Mr. Rust exclaimed:
