On our first page will be found bold
and patriotic speech of Air. Pershing. de-
livered in the House of Representatives.
ON the 3oth of Jan. last, in which lie
strongly urged the passage OF the ,rcso-
lutions Of Mr.. Ludlow, the member OF
Philadelphia, (Which We published some
time ago. protesting against Illegal and
arbitrary arrests. For want of room we
could not publish this speech at the time:
but having placed it on file, we now lay
1t before our readers. believing. from the
great principle for which he contended.
that his words have not Inst bv age.
Although Mr. Pcrshinr. Tor ms active
part in the passage Of those resolutions.
was censured by Tie Aboliiionists: and
was by one of their petty organs in this
county, the Ti1jwc called ':butternui," :"
a g copperhead,' and abused in scur.ilous
language, for his fearless opposition to
the usurpatiuns of Lincoln and his
subordinate minions, hc need not be
ashamed of his words as they go forth to
his constituency, who will endorse such n
course, Notwithstanding the ludicrous and
abortiyc attemps of the Tribune and OF
few cringing Abeli,ionisis. We are
proud that Mr.. PerShins took an active
part in that matter, not because we had
sympathies for Albert Boileau, whose
Illegal arrest awakened our legislature to
action, but because lie arrayed himself
against the encroachmenis of the Admin
istration and because he defended and
contended for great constitutional prin-
cIPie OF right, without which OUR govern
ment is worse than despotism.
