WILSON'S COURAGE.


In 1856, Henry Wilson made a speech
in the United States Senate in which he
characterized the act of Brooks in Gaming
Sumner as brutal murderous and cow
ardly." This was more than South Car
DINA chivalry could stand, and chal-
lenge was the result. Mr.Wilson replied
have always regarded dueling as a lnger-
ing relic of barbarous civilization, which the
law of the country has branded a crime.
While therefore | religiously believe in the
right of self-defense in its broadest sense, the
law-the law of my country, and the matured
convictions of my whole life alike forbid me to
meet you for the purpose indicated in your let
ter
He never had any occasion to further
exercise the right of self-defense from that
source. With all his braggadocio, Brooks
concluded that discretion was the better
part of valor, and he exercised enough of
it never to attack Wilson as he had done
Charles Sumner. He made it point 20
boldly stand up for his principles and n
doing SO, the chivalry saw in him one
whom it would be dangerous to cane.
On another occasion, when one Of that
class that has brought disgrace upon the
South menaced him with a revolver, he
said
Threats have no terrorS for freemen. l am
ready to meet argument with argument, scOrn
with scorn, and, if need be, blow with blow. It
is time the champions of slavery in the South
should realize the fact that the past is theirs the
future ours"
When occasion demanded, he has dis
played, at all times, a courage almost sub
lime.
"And if Mr. Greeley shall be elected to the
Presidency by Democratic votes, and prove
| false to the principles and hopes of those who
| place him there the Democracy will turn their
| lances against his breast and drive him from
power. as GRANTS about to be-amid the execra-
| ton of his countrymen.-Memphi Appeal.
! Don't talk that way, Mister Appeal"
You will drive Greeley off the track.
THE AMERICAN CASE.-The London
| Telegraph of the 2Sth ult. states that Com
missioners Cohen and Young, appointed
by the board of trade to examine the claims
of the American case, consider that the
total claims, amounting to ST. 800, 900, will
be amply met by SS,0O0000. The report OF
the admiralty commissioners on the claims
for expenses incurred by the United States
navy in pursuit of the Confederate cruisers
concludes that the greatest part of the claim
of 100000 is inadmissible, and that i
Great Britain were held liable for the foul
cruisers, Alabama, Florida, Georgia anC
Shenandoah, the amount could not exceed
one million and half.

them seriously entertains the idea of sup
porting Greeleys policy after he is elected
unless he should conform to their partisan
wishes. If he should pursue policy con-
sistent with his past record, they would
spit upon his administration with the
most supreme contempt. Once in their
power, they would no more think OF con-
sulting his wishes than those of an inmate
of the insane asylum. If he does not see
this, he does not possess one-tenth of the
good sense the world has given him credit
for

THE manner in which the Philadelphia
nominations have been received by the
whole country, is peculiarly gratifying to
Republicans, presaging as it does, an
overwhelming victory in November. We
should not have been surprised at an ap-
parent apathy in the party, as the nomi-
nation of Grant has been understood as
fixed fact for months, but instead of apathy
we see an enthusiasm among his friends
which exceeds even that which greeted
his first nomination at Chicago. We can
account for it in no other way than as a
response to the bitter and unfounded at
tacks which have been made upon the
President with a view of driving his
friends aafrom hisa support. While we
have we'll understood the voice of the
party as being Enthusiastically for Grant,
we had not supposed the feeling so earnest
or so intense as has been manifested every
where since his denomination. His ira
ducers deserve some credit for this, even il
it is i'll direct opposition to the feeling
which they intended to enkindle.
This unprecedented enthusiasm is due
III some degree, to the nomination of Mr.
Wilson. The workingmen regard his Sc
lection as a recognition of their claims up
on the country, and it is not strange that
they feel good over it. The "Natick cob
bler' inspires every class of laboring mel
with confidence, and they naturally re-
gard him as a practical friend, i'll whom
they may implicitly rely.

Jefferson County and the Capital
Removal.


(From the MAEtlnsburg statemAn)
Letter writers from Charleston, a will
age situated somewhere upon the Kama
wha River, are representing that r. Hume
Butcher, q delegate from the county Of
Jefferson, is to take the lead in that body
in retaining the seat Of state Government,
at its present location. We confess that
we can scarcely believe this rumor in re-
gard to Mr.. B. Ifthere be one point up
on which there is no division Of opinion
in the county OF Jefferson, as also ia Berk.
eley, it is in favor OF the immediate re-
mOval Of the capital from Charleston.
Jefferson county has already had one,
Geo. NJ. Beltzhoover, upon this irritating
and exciting question, and we hope thai
she is not to have another, but really the
time seems now 10 have gone by, when
men in public assemblies feel II lncum-
bent upon them to represent the senti-
ments OF the constituent body. We will
not do Mr.. +. the injustice TO credit the
idea that he will, for the idle blandish-
ments and delusive expectations which
the wire workers at Charleston may hold
out TO his avarice or ambition, perpetrate
80 foul an outrage upon the sentiments Of
those he represents.
