THE ExrBEss CRricIzEs SENAToR LATHAM.
The notice Of Senator Lathams speech, by
the Express, is evidently Characteristic Of
that journal IL blows hot and cold praises
ana blane-; approves it all; disapproyes it
generally; says he is right; thinks he Is
wrong H. short the critic seems TO have lost
the helm Of reason completely, and to be IN
able TO be consistent throughout single par
agraph Here are specimens Of the produc-
ton:
The Senator carefully avoided committing
/ himself to any policy by which The diiiicul ,
1 ties might be settled. lie declared
thc secession Of the Southern states nnJn'll'
fable, and denounced the seizure OF the pub
lie property, and declared the Government
4 must he sustained . Iic did not
tell US whether he was for suljugatin8 the
South or for peaceable settlement
We have the utmost confidence
/ tIat Senator Latham on his return to the
Senate, will use all his talents and eNeltionS
10 procure a tlemeut, and relieve the coun-
try from the horrors Of a civil war.
lie had not word of censure Iorthe RePub-
licaus, by whom he was surrounded, etc, etc
HIS [Scnato, Latham'- speech was wei re-
ceivel although there Was not that amount
Of enthusiasm that might have been c%pec-
ted. .-h.,prcss.
The Express editor must have had very
large expectations. We never saw more cr-
thusia.m at any public meeting. The op-
plausc was frequently dcafening, and ladies
who were in their houses near the Pavilion
/ say that The noise was 20 great at times, that
1it seemed AS though the Luildins must be
shaken down. The twelve hundred people
who heard Senator Iathams speech will not
be surprised hereafter at seeing any statement
in Il paper which has the coolncss TO say that
"there was not that amount Of enthusiasm at
the meeting "that might have been expcc-
ted."
FooI-n--A parcel of old graunics meet
ing together at the present time and passing
resolutions in favor Of the Crjtcnden compro-
misc. They had better try TO act like men,
and help put down the traitors, and thcy can
advocate the Crttcnden compromise after
wards.-No1he"A Argus
The great trouble seems to us TO be that
1 the "grannios' aforesaid do not want the
traitors "put down" They would Ike to see
the Government fool away few more months
at efforts towards compromising in order
that treason may more thoroughly arm and
organize. They are for compromise on the
part of the United states alone, aud for war
on the part of the Southern Coufederatcs
alone As the traitors will ncl talk with us
about compromise, we mus; fight out the war
they have seen fl to begin
