Mr.. Davis said one gratifying fact was
the distinctness with which Senators dis
avowed all connection with or sympathy

Mr.. Green remarked that the purpose
for which the arms were taken at Liberty
was not to force slaves into Kansas and not
to subvert the Government or laws of the

the execution of the laws of the Territory.
Although it was an unlawful act, it was
for good purpose, and in order to support

Mr.. Crittenden thought the amendment
could do no harm, and would occupy only
a few days more time, and hoped it would
be adopted.


Mr.. Wilson said he should vote for the
resolution and amendment. When this
intelligence was received in the North it
was regarded merely as strike among
workmen. On learning the real character
it was received almost unanimously with
disapprobaiion and regrets, but elections
were pending in New York and New Jer-
sey, and one or two leading papers it New
York, for the purpose of affecting those
elections, made most violent, false, and in
famous charges against public men. There
is not one man in thousand of the peo-
pie of the Free States ever dreamed OF
such foray or knew anything of il.
He spent two or three weeks in New
York and New Jersey previous to the cleo
ton, and everywhere heard regret and con-
demnation expressed at that movement.
He never saw man who did not regret it.
The leader in that invasion by his con-
duct and language had excited sympathy
and admirntion. By all men he was re-
garded as sincere; although a fanatic, he
violated law under conviction that he was
doing right, and was willing to take the
consequences. But the present Governor
of Virginia, by his mode of dealing with
this question by his evident attempt 10
make political capital and get up needless
clamor has excited feeling of deriSion and
contempt.


Among the masses North 10 this cause,
is to be attributed the sympathy manifes-
ted for Brown more than any other source,
whereas, had he dealt with the question as
discreet magistrate, and not made an out
rageous and infamous attempt TO implicate
innocent men for partizan purposes, what
has been witnessed to-day would never
have taken place. He conteuted himself
by hoping the investigation would he thor

them take the consequences.

BEER AND HOMICIDE. No one can read the
investigation of the recent fatal ai1ray in
Burlington, without concluding at once that
the 'b.ershops' alluded to. are Justly charc-
able with the murder. Certainly, no malice
was entertained, no premeditation OF violence
existed, every movement OF the illiated youth
was inspired at the instant by what he had
imbibcd Mt Faiths ''beershop'' and else
where. We wood not shield the murderer
from any amount of just indignation, but we
would beg that it may be borne in mind that
il Mcdonnell is guilty OF murder, a two fold
weight OF guilt rests upon the agency that
prepared him for, and s,nt him out on his
fatal crrand. But why should there be any
special denuncation of those 'beer shops
which Mcdonnell and his associates visited
on that night? None at all, there are
hundreds in the State just as criminal as
Faith. They are every day and night doing
all they can to create the conditions of murder
and every lesser crime, a realization Of which
only fails by failure of concurrent circum-
stances. We breatl Q this murder inducing
atmosphere every day, and many OF us pass
every day these manufactures of murderers
with the same unconcern as though we had
nothing in common with society, and as
though their fendish deprcdatons had no
connection with our safety or the safety OF
those who are near to u.s. Newspapers there
are, too. which lend their influence to sustain
the helish traffic. and, when the stunning
shock comes, will sneeringly taunt the Maine
Law with having failed TO accomplish its
mission. We do not envy such an editor his
peace of mind, if it is capable Of anything
but repose, when he sees the fruit OF the
'beer-shop" before him, self acknow.

Tho impression comes very often upon people

when we came towards the brook and | wanted to

ensued conflict between us, which ended in the
middle OF the brock far l concerned-
and SO when men have bccn giving to any fashion

Verify, this Democratic party, with its dssensions
are about to bring things to pretty pass. stump
discussion by the candidates for the "great office
of chief magistrate of the greatest nation in the
world-a rumble tumble in an arena stretching from
Maine to California from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Ocean!! This is truly grand idea, a very grand
idea indeed. How dwarfed and insignificant will all
other convasses appear.-Register.


The Register would produce the impression that
it is the intention of the Democracy to have a
"stump" canvass for the Presidency. We beg that
paper to be easy as there is no prospect that its
delicate and anti-peoplish sensbilites will be thus
shocked. The Democrats approve of stumpng for
the Legislature for Congress- and for Governor but
not for the Presidency. Jefferson, Madison, Monroe
and Jackson would have made Indifferent stumpers !;
and they were all elected without resorting to the
rumble tumble" so classically referred to by the
Register. No, the Democrats will leave the stump
to their opponents. Mr. Clay tried it in 1874, and
it was all right in Mr.. Clay. The Register cheered
him, and lauded him, and almost deified him, and
declared it was all right He kissed the ladies, pat
ted the darling little children the head, and en-
tranced almost every one with his winning manners.

We use this language not because it is
select or philosophical, but because it con-
veniently and aptly conveys an idea. Man
kind are so constituted, that they will run
down like clock on any important sub
ject And they, as much, and as often,
need acioding up. You need winding up
on your religion every Sabbath, at least, to
say nothing of some social meeting that
may intervene to perform the same SER
vice. You have to be wound Hp on poll
tics often; every week, at longest, by your
newspaper, and wound up more fully and
tighter at annual and periodical elections.
Our nature is such, that we can't support
even personal friendship without winding
up with letters or visits, or both. So man
kind must wind up on Temperance.


WINDING UP on TEMPERANCE. HOW.


AS we run down on temperance like
clock, so we must be wound up on temper
ance like clock. We run doa0n by neg
lecting to read, think, feel, talk-by neg
lecting the society, the meeting, the dis

couragement of the faint-hearted, the adj


monition of the unwary in the welding of
argument or the enactment and execution


of law-the action necessary to keep up


our thoughts, our feelings and our courage.


We must wind up then by reseiving all


this. Let us read then. Let US reflect
deeply. And then we shall teet-we shall


have the requisite moral sensibility /; and


then we shall speak out of the abundance


of the heart, and all associated, energetic


effort will folloY; so that we shall find


ourselves wound and keyed up to soon
cert PITCH" ana we shall sing in time and


tune, and not fall down into dolorous jar
