t irAt the close of the "Old Brown" Lecture,
Elder Post threw dotin the gauntlet to any lawyer
.who willed to tliscuss.the points of lavi-he attempted
to establish. We would rdwctfullp suggest to Mr.
Little that it would be. more- manly to meet Elder
Post face to face than to skulk behind a pretendd
editorial. • -
- It is a remarkable fact, and - one which we
think very significant, that many of the leading LO
cofoco papers in the interior, do not publish even un
abstract of the speeches made by their friends in
.Cobgre'ss. -. They "haven't room," they say! The
truth is; we suspect, that they are a.harned to let
their readers see what Ws their representatives are
making of theinselves,
The Easton (Pa.) Argus, which. 'published .
Rev. John Chambers's Union-saving Thanksgiving
'sermon, with strong commendations, draws a nice
.distinction between pro-slavery and anti-slavery
fasesehers.- It says:
We are honestly and -conscientiously. of the opin
ion that the sectional Ministers of New Rngland,
, since the presidential campaign of 7556, have done
more injury to the cause. of Christianity thin they
will be able tb repair in the next quarter of a century.
They hare turned , their pulpits into mere political
stumps, and instead of leading their flocks to seek
salvation through the tree principles of the Gospel,
they teach them that thefirst great duty of man is to
hate negro.skvery. Instead of inculcating love of
country, and laboring to spread the. Gospel in its pu
[-sky, they lead the listeners from the true path, and
1 'build up congregations of infidels and traitors!. Ttiur
ouvand.ont abolition preacher is the worst thug on
she face of God's earth."

ce our last issue ; Congress has *gone on
about as before, doing-nothing but "agitate" the .
Slavery question. The agitating is done by the De
wirracy, as canal. In.the House . , - the Con r..4e' l autrk ed
. out and closely : followed by the 'Republicans has been
to refrain from talking and urge a vote for Speaker
whenever, hey could. On the 22d inst., Mr. Win
slow, Democrat, attempted to procure an adjourn
ment over the holidays; /which brought out Mr. Grow
in the first Republican speech that had been made
for many *days. Mr. Grow reviewed the pnapt•sition
- for an adjogrnmenfbrietly. and forcibly, shoWing how
the Slavery question had been thrust into the House
before attempting an organization, hy.the vets men
who denounce agitation. If Helper's book contained
incendiary matter, the South had advertised' nd elr
culate4 it. His friends !tad sat silent, because they
. scorned•to answer the flagrant charges the Other side
.made. They deserved nothing but contempt. The
Union must be weak2be said, if it could be dissolved
by a pamphlet. Contractors, who had performed
mail service, were begging for their pay, while holi 7
'days were proposedoby the supporters of the admin
istration: The speech created mach sensation, and a
number rose to respond, several claiming the floor,
- but the dispute was terminated by an adjournment,
for the day, amid - much confusion.
We thought it-would be so., The edithr of
the Montrose Dirancrat has a heavy burden ff new
sins to answeillir. He has got the venerable! editor
of the Ltizerne Unic;n into a bad serene. Gen. E. S.
Goodrich, editor and proprietor of the said Union—
. not the Enion'that is ationt to be dissolved ty the
. Democratic party—is a man Who. prides himself on
• editing i respectable Democratic organ. lie hastren
been known tb go so far ark° intimate that.he would
not wilfully assert a direct falsehood for . the benefit
of the party. This statement looked-so undeniocrat•
is on its face that many were disposed to think Mr!
,'Goodrich intended to be understood in a Pickwickian
sense ; but we hare given him Credit for berme in•
earnest, and have really thought we had discovered
a slight improvement, in the metals' of the Union
since it came under his.cOntroi r eseept occasionally
when be has good-naturedly permitted Some con
' mienceless scamp to ascend the editorial tripod arid
.scribble falsehoods in his mane. But now we are
gompelled to give him over. Ills word is no more . to
be depended upon than A.J.Gerritson's2 - His paper
is sunk as low in the depth's, of moral turpitude as
the Montrose Dentoenkt. We can `conceive'elf only
one plea thatcan be put in in his behalf-!=that he
was misled by the organ of his party here. But even
thatplea is inadmissible, for he exchanges With the
Independent Republican, and when was an honest
searcher after truth ever. known to tun] to a pseudo
Democratic paper for authority when he had a Re
publican paper within reach ?..
The editor of the
. Lucerne Union has 'read the
'Rev. A. L. Poses lecture ,on John Brown, and he
tells ,his readers that it is a "Republican sermon!"
. Now, is not that willng the falsehoods In thick ?
two lies in two words! -It was not "sermon," but
a lecture ; and it was not a " Republican" lecture,
k at A. L. Post's lecture, If Gen. Goodrich had read
the Independent, Republican as attentively as he
ought, he would hare read therein the announcement
of the /ertuye, and be would also hare read Elder
Toes letter to the editors of both the Montrose pa
pers, in which he distinctly states that he is 'noi a
Reprablican,and that neither-party comes up to his
ideas of 'mitt and duty. It is true that this letter
was suppressed and the.ftets were miarepresented by
the editor of the Damocreit,. and for that reason We
are.afraid that he will be , held accountable for the
falsehoods (Oho Union' but _whether the Union

ridicule.—Montrose Democrat. i v '
The Hon. Josinia - R:Giddings, in a Iciure deliv
-1
- ered before the Young Men's Literary A.ssoci4ion of
Montrose, recited the history of the tw.O,,greattstrug
gles which - occurred in Congresstluringihis Congres
sional career,—one involving the right of petition:
the other, the right of disciaiion. The securing of
these tico great rights to American Freemen, are two
great events in our history, and are the particular
events which, give character and' imporlance to the
period during"which M. Giddings held: his seat in
Congress. From the magnitude and vas' importance
of these two rights, it is expected that every true
American will feel intensely interested' ih a descrip
tion ofeny scenes which may' have occurred while
they were discussed in Congress. Witt( this expec- -
tation, - Mr. Giddings proceeded to describe, in mild,
but forcible and graphic style, that renu(rkabie scene
`which occurred when the Hon. John Qdiney Adams
was charged with High TreaiOn to his country -for
'simply presenting to Congress a pelitiiM • entrusted'
to him by.his constituents; and was arraigned and
tried before the House on resolutions fcsF his censure
and expulsion. It was on that occasion, more than
any other, that Mr; Adams,. scornfully 'declining to
defend himself against the charge of High Treason,
which consists in "levying war",,and aiding ene
mies," and turning upon his assailants it4indication of
right of his constituentsto petition Congress for the
'redress of grievances, earned for himself that beauti
ful and appropriate cognomen, "the pH Man Elo:
gent." During that excited and pdssiOnate discus
sion of thirteeti'days continuance, -which eventually
secured to Congressmen the right to present the pc.,
11110111 , of their constituents, of whatever character,
without incurring the censure
. of the', Honse, and
and which 'also secured to American Freemen the
right to petition Congress upon any 'am) every sub
ject coming within the legitimate sPherd of Congres
sional action, there occurred scenes of thrilling inter
est. These were poitrayectby Mr. Giddings 3n the
to!), gentle, and, truthful manner becoming tie his
torian and patriot. There was nothing of the heat
•
and fervor of the l
partisan, nothing of the sophistry
and decsiamation of the demagogue, and nothing of
die false reasonings and denimeidtions of th4anatic.
It was a calm, dispassionate, and truthful recital of
facts.
He next presented scenes 'which ocet,trred . 'daring
the discussion of the Amistad Slave case, and onere,
iri which he appealed as one of the „principal charac
ters. n the case of the b 'ig ... Crooke, Mr. Hidiings
rted that when a slave was carried, beyOnd the
jurisdiction of slave laws, upon domains where - slay
ery was not known nor recogniztfd, the slaCe was
restored to his natural rights, and that it was- not
only his right, but his duty to, - declare himself free.
For asserting and maintaining this doctrine, the
House, passed mien him a role of censure. Mr.
Giddingsnannediatresigned his sent id Congress,
returned to his cMtituents, and appealed to them
to know si•hether an Amerieen Freeman had not the
right to express his opinions on the door of Congress .
The scene which occurred when he resigned his seat
with dignity, shoOk hMitis with his - friends and the
Speaker, and took leave of the House; like s . man
proud of the distinction shown him, 'a'hd the scene
which occurred when he was restored 'to his seat bi .
'an overwhelming vote of his constituents, and re
sumed the discussion of the same" doctrine with ten•
'fold more power, while men stood : round him• ,with
drawn pistols, some to attack and others to defend
him, were calmly arl.modestlY descried. 'With a
modesty remarkable for a man of his iearn, (for as'
nee creep's upon men they are apt to' grOw egotist
ical,) he nresenteddhese scenes in his dwn becoming
way, 'without discussing any of the ,tloctrines and
principles inrplved. • During the whole evenini he
contented himself with describing the Men who were
engaged in the dis.cussions, their chrtrater, personal
appearance, and manner of speaking, arid with relat
ing the fails iu lust that fair and 'edndid fight "in
' , which history has already placed Meth. The 'audi
ence listened with profound attention: Men Of all
parties listened, seeming to appreciatethe old man's
candid recital of 'facts, arid his kind forbearance to
discuss doctrines upon which there might- be a di
versity of opinion. is audience went home seem
ingly pleased with the leeture, a few only regretting
that he 'did not rise to the eloquence Of which he is
capable, and-exhibit some of the fire ainf vigor mani
fested in his congressional debates. put these are

At tho ITnion•Saverik Meeting, in New_ York, on
the 19th inst., Charl4 O'Conor, Esq., a prominent
Democratic politician ii,t,that city, riromulged the fol
lowing views on Slavery: . .
maintain that negro slavery is not-unjust; that
it is benign in its influence on the white man and on
the black; that it is ordained by nature; that itis a
necessity created by nature itself; that it curries with
it duties for the black man and duties for the white
man, which duties catikmt be performed except by
the, preservation and, F gentlemen, please, the per
petuation of the system. [Cheers.] And,gentlemen,
one.of my reasons fox thin is, tkat I have been taught
it by the highest tribunal of our country, and the
most venerable exponent of the principles of justici<,,
and of thelmaring and effect-of the Constitutioh:—
As a white nation we made our Constitution, And we
made our laws, vesting political rights in that 'race, -
the whole AmericamPeople. As to the negro, we
have allowed him to live. under the protection of. our
laws.. We give him, as itte:are hound to ,give him,
protection-against outrage rind contumely ; but, we
denied to him every pfuliticareight, or the power to
govern; and .we left Lim—aslong`as the community
in which'he lived shoUld please"so tirorder—we left
him id the condition 'of a bondsman: 'Gentlemen, to
that the negro is'assigned I?) , %\nature.
[Bravo.] • Ile has strength; and has the power twin
bor ; but the hand that created him `denied to‘liim
either the intellect to•goiern, or willingness to . werk;
And that nature which deprived him of the will to
labor, gave !lima 'master to coerce that will, and
made him a, useful and valuable servant to the -coon
try in which he moil .capnble of living—,..useful for
himself and teethe inttster who governs him. Now,
gentlemen, I maintain that it is not injustice to leave
the negro in the cond tion in which nature placed
him; to leave him in, a state oflpupilage, and the.
master to supply the government in which he is defi
cient ; nor is it depriring him of 'any of his rights to
compel him tolabor ip , return, and afford to. that
.master just cotimensition for the labor and talent cm
played in governing him, and rendering niin useful
to himself and the I aiiciety around him. • These are
the principles which :the extreme measures of the
abolitionists compel tits to Meet. This is the ground
1 1
that we must take.. We are not to ;talk of Slavery
as an evil."

Mr. Sherman, is more conspicuous as a Republican,
