HypOericy Of Senator Hale.

The recent debate in the Senate,in which
Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, and Mr.. Hale, of
New Hampshire took part, was most pitt
able revelation OF the impudence of Aboli-
tion hypocricy. The severe and just stric
tures of Mr.. Davis upon the course of the
Administration in their manner of conduct
ing the war, and his assertion that he hon
estly believed this war was 10 be continued
until after the Presidential election, was the
signal for great display of very viriuious
indignation on the part OF Mr.. John P. Hale.
All that simulated indignation was in the
very funny Senator from New Hampshire's s
best vein /; but no one who has been in the
habit of listening to his jokes in the Senate
believed for moment thai he was in ear-
nest. "The charnal house, figure was ex-
celeui, but meant no more than MIR. Ed
ward Everett's "fields wet with brothers.

OF patriotism il the torpedo touch of an in
dgnsnl denial of disloyally 10 establish it
aud Mr.. Hale perfectly compreheads this.
His idea of 'sRepud ican Senators being
bound by the sancity OF their oaths to sus-
tain the coun;ry and the Constitution, :"
when tor the last three years they have
been endeavoring TO destroy The one, and 10
overlhrow the other, is perfectly sublime ia
lis nnapprcachable impudence, and when
he added TO il the assertion that the desii-
MES of this country have been Submitted 10
the Republican Senators, we could not but

years, that il was in very unsafe hands

destinies Il there is any other man, al
ways excepting Mr.. Sumner, responsible
for all the lnnocen, blood that has been

over Us, i. is this very Senator Hale Does
he suppose that he can blind The eyes Of
his counirymen TO This TACT. by these over
strained bursts OF patriotism But the rich
est part in he play was when he lashed
himself into bursl OF indignation over the
assertion by MIR DAVIS "ihat the Repubi-
can party wished 10 prolong the war for a
political object" We wonder whether the
Indignant Senator had forgotten Mr.. Sew

you may possibly have deceived yourself
in he idea that you were indignant al such
charge, but the great mass of the people
understand 100 well the plots aud counter
plots of you and your Abolition crew, ever
10 give you credit for inceriIy. You may
have deceived Mr. Ganei Davis, but you
cannot deceive the American people.
