Mr.. Riddles Spe ech.

We publish this week, tho admirable
spcech Of Mr. Riddle, upon the bill for the
abolition OF Slavery in tho District OF Co
lumbia. Lot none fail to read IL who love
truth or admire oloquenee. Mr.. htdd'e
while clearly indicating that all the argu'
meet Is on the side OF the measure be ad.
tocates, very wisely declines to bc put upon
iu defensive, and bases its triumphant
vlndicsticn upon its Inherent justice. with
him, whatever is right is expodrcnt, and DO
nation or individual can be permanently in
jured by it; and whatever ia wrong is always
inoIpediout, alike for pRtona and individ-
usls Would that all our Ropreser rtaiiVes
had eqaAl faith in the Right They might
then the more clearly discern both tho
lights and the shadows in thia fearful
panorama of blood. Aud who could doubt
tbe speedy deliverauce of the Nation
from its prescut troubles, which, view them
as VIC may, are attributable to false cxpe'
dency, which is ever exalting the in:efests
Of property above. truth aud justice -
This speech cannot fail to add mach to
tbe growing fame of Mr., Riddle, whose
Views, radical as thoy may be doomed by
some, must ultimately be adopted by the
politicians as woll as the people Of the
country.

EDITOR DENocRAr We took the cars
for this city at Louisville, yesterday, just
two weeks from The time Of our arrival at
the latter place. We were glad to leave
Louisville. although it is a very pleasant
city. A very large per cent. OF the in.

was dealt out too freely, and the Regi.
