The llUnosable Thomas +. Bayard,
u. >. senator from Delaware. during
the pas! two years in the senate OF tie
United States, has shown hi, honesty
and integrity by casting hi vatr in Ina,
body on several occasions, against un
reasonable and un ust lneast rrs, " hi,t.,

of the few men who can rise above his

would not be for the general w.lfar- Of
the country. On account OF his iutay-
rity and manly independence in Ma
tlonaI measures, he has brought down
upon himself the condemnation Of the
malignant fire eaters of his party in The
south, and their sympathizers in the
North. For daring to vote for the ap-
preparation bills in Congress, without
having attached thereto measures which
could not be passed only by ann-xinC
them to bill which tn. nation imper
atively demands, Mr.. Bayard has made
himself target for the rebel news
papers of the South and their allies at
the North, to hurl their malignant and
Scurulous darts against. The HERALD

from Florida, and well known SYM
