of June last, as Marietta, he thus stated
it
"lt is said the Crittcnden resolution

was offered to them before they fired up
on Sumpter, aud not man was ready to
take it, and THE NoRTH would have been

That is Democratic, is it? That is non
intervention? What political power has
slavery? BY the Constitution it has the
three filths basis Of representation. He
would destroy that, would he? How :?
BY freeing the slaves and making every
slave count one. instead of three. fifths
Of one in the ratio Thus he would add
about twenty members of Congress to

have thus shown the resemblance be-
tween Falstatf and 8rough in many rar-
ticulars. As to his cowardce. do you
remember how valiantly TIE fat knight
led his tatterdemallions into battle, and
how he thrust the departed Hotspur
through. The similie is alike, with a nif.
ference. Brough never ventured into the
, battle, either on foot or on horse. But
he talks as brsyely as Falstaf, and does
as little execution. Hotspur was dead; !;
VaIlandigham, though absent, is still a
living terror to his revilers. He is not
present, by his vehement eloquence, to
answer his slanderers; and this fat
knight of the corps d. Afr9ue can; with
impuniIy, plunge his weapons all thro'

exile. This is bravery! For shame!
The age of chivalry is indeed gone when

Mr.. Cox then discussed the difference
between the Constitution and its agents ;
the government and the administration

the 18th chapter of Romans; next the dis
