gsrcAs of the South. Bright, Vallandigham
and Voorhees-beside being demagogues-
are aristocrsts in feeling, and have always
| entertained the highest admiration for ths0
institution. which recognizes the title OF
master. We ask our readers to reflect upon
| the Richmond Examiners comments on the
expulsicn of Mr.. Bright, and see il they
Cannot readily detect the infamous plot,
whose rami6cations now extend throughout
! the Northwest, and which outcrops here
and there in secret organizations of recog-
nized and avOWed hostility to every mea-
sure necessary to the preservation of the
government:
The expulsion of Mr. Bright from the
| Federal Senate, is another insult put upon
the Northwest by rabtd and fanatical New
England. The pretext on which this ex-
pelsion was based, is the shallowest that
could have been conceived. 1t is puerile
aud Hnwcrthy even of the ceHtemptible
cabal which employed it for their purpose.
Mr.. Brightis the representative of the con-
sentative feeling of the Northwest His
presence in the Senate was standing re-
buke of the excuses of the times; was a
continual protest against the violence per-
petrated on North western interests by the
domineeriag aed destructive fanaticism of
New England, His expulsion is another
wrench of the Puritan screw upon bis SUBJ
jugated and prosecuted section. New Fog
land declares to the Northwest by this
vote, that she shall not think in conflict
with herself; that she will delve into the
private correspondence of her leading citi-
zens in pursuit of her determination to
crush out independent Western thought.
Representatives from the North west vo-
ted for the expus 90; bat in every case
they were Puritan emissaries from New
England, sent forth into that country as
the instruments of its entbrallment. The
North west, it seems, is not to have a
thought or a policy of her own. In all
respects, and in all measures, is she to
snow herself the convenient tool of New
England. She is to go into q war ruinous
TO her special interests, in support of the
dogmas of her superior. She is to furnish
the troops for the armies, and to pay the
burden of the taxes necessary to support the
war. She is by her own troops to blockade
her own intercourse with the South, her
best customer, and her nearest neighbor
and friend. Sue is to do ali without muir
muir or protesr. Her citizens are not to
speak a word or write line in public or
private correspondence, even in indirect COL
lision with the measures of the ruling Sec
ton. If they do, though they be represent
atives of sovereign States, and sit as am
bassadors in the Federal Capital, they are
to be expelled ANONYMOUSLY, and sent home
as traitors to the Union-that is to say, TO
the truculent policy of New England.
1t remains to be seen whether the North
west will submit to this last indignity. The
chances are that she will. The spell by
which New England seems to have subdued
her, apparently grows more potential every
day. 1t was the appropriate duty of the
NorIh-west-and it was within her power
to preserve the Union-6ut she yielded to
New EDgland, and the Union was lost. 1t
was then her duty to mitigate the evils of
war, and to assume the part of peace-maker
between the sections. That honorable Office
she declined and she furnishes all the
fighting regiments for The war. For her
pains, she is now rewarded with indignity.
A large proportion of her population enter
tain conservative opinions with regard to
the present troubles, and condemn the mad
ness which rules the hour. Mr.. Bright
was the exponent of this phase of North
western sentiment in the Federal Senate;
and he ia eYnellad os n 8~A;sA-- H.
nifty is great, and the insult most gross
bat the chances are that the North. west
will submit.
