The idea of holding Congressman Brock
enridge in any way responsible for the ill.,
famous murder of Mr.. Clayton, in Arkan-
sas, is too ridiculous to discuss, and yet we
fud newspapers in the North demanding
that he be uuseated because the man who
happened to be his opponent in the laie cleo
ton was shot by some villain who is sup
posed to be a Democrat. Because Mr..
Breckenridge does not choose to go into a
long rigmarole of depreciation and denial of
any personal knowledge of the purpose to
kill Mr.. Clayton, some journals say that it
would have been better that he should
have been killed himself. Suppose con-
tandiog Congressman had been killsd in
New York by some miserable scoundrel of
the opposite party, would there be any
such rubbish as this about ii2 Not at all.
It would be treated as one Of the ordinary
episodes of the criminal history of the local
ity aud nothing more, but as it happened
in the Sou b it is Immensely lpagnified. and
takes on at once sectional coloring.-Nor-
