IA that We are not called upon TO drait fes0iu'
lions for the Democratic State Conventions
particularly in Ncw-lIampshire; for, In COM
rorison with that botherlng business, making

"Ex. Governor Williams" is the name OF the
gentleman who was caught by the Convention
at Concord, last Wednesday, and commanded
TO fnrnsh the bricks. lie rubbed his head
and BY dint of vigorous friction, produced Tut
following:

They used to soy, in the palmy days Of the
party, that Democracy was Progress; but it
does MT seem TO be in any danger OF wind
breakage from excessive CELEBRITY in Ncw-Hamp-
shire. We once knew good Democrat OF the
primal type who voted for James Madison for
twenty years after his DEATH aud who stoutly
maintained flat the story OF his decease was q
id Federal lie; but this Democrat, we
mas. confess, did not abide in New-Iinmpshre.
But let us gee what Other sparks this granite

what does hs ex-Excellency mean by that
Does he mean 70 say that man who thinks
that as a matter Of right aud Of expediency
Slavery should he abolished, is traitor that
he is as culpab'y traitor as smother man who
writes " Irea.on" for legend of honor on his

IFS avoyed supporters Fortunately, the Cor
s.itution Itself has defined Treason explicitly.

But this new expository ex-E1celency is nj
content with this; lie insists upon Interpreting
bis own notions OF treasos, and upon putting his
own purple patches upon the venerable instru-
ment. Who gave him authority 10 revise the
work Of the Fathers to add to it, which

milton. Most men OF sense viii be reluctant
70 do 80. If Aboitionism' is "treascn, y
tien Washington was traitor, Jefferson was
= traitor, and Franklin was tfal,or-ioT
they all hated Slavery, and all were Abo'

Yet We do not wish TO speak disrespect-
fully of this gentleman, because he is one, we
admit. WHO can zee several inches further into
a stone wall than any other man Of the age.
Just notice the concluding sentence Of the last
quoted resolution: - The only way to restored
"Inion and q respected Constitution, with
returning peace and prosperity, is through
'tho overthrow ol tho enemies TO both.
There are some things more lucid than lucidity
Itself, and this 10 one Of them. Williams has
Guessed it, tie first time" Tie way to
res,ore peace, is TO be peaceful; the way to
secure prosperity, is to be prosperous; the
way 10 preserve the Union, Is 10 overthrow its
enemies; and tie way TO bring the Constitution
into good repute, lie to put down those who
despise it. q. +. d. There has been nothing
more sensible than this said in Congress since
The commencement OF the session. We do Mt
think yGlandigham can boat this; and yet We
Rave an uncommony high opinion of his powers
Of rati0clnatlon.
The Ex-Governor went still further in The ut
terance Of novel aud startling truths. Upon
his suggestion, the Convention, with due solem'
