Excitement In Sew Hampshire.
Bombardment of Washington Proposed.
We fearn that a public meeting was held ai
Lumberville, N. H., on the 9th inst., tq ex
press the indignation of the people at the insult
offered to the son of that Slate, the
President, at Washington, on Saturday lost,
by an egg-flufig from the hand of a chival
rous Carolinian, whose name is Jeffurds. A
correspondent has favored us with a reporl of
the proceedings, from which it appears that
the principal speech of the occasion was made
by Jotham Peirce, Esq., (no relative of the
General's, since his name is spelled different
ly) and that Us eloquence was received with
rapt attention and thunderous applauses.
We give herewith the principal points of this
remarkable speech :
“An egg,' fellow-cilizens, has been cast
upon the Hat. of our honored President! By
this base act the valuable Hat of His Excel
lency has been seriously damaged, but this
instill has a deeper meaning and wider range
■ —the Government itself is insulted, and by
whom? 1 ask, sir, by whom ? Will you
tell me that tHe'wretch who threw the egg is
the party’of wqm redress should be sought 1
I scorn the concmsipn. How would such pro
ceedings be regnrdetKby foreign potentate,■j 7
What would iheEmpelorNicholas-say of it?
The city of Washington, sir, is then respon
sible-for (his insult. Her inhabitants are
guilty of the crime, anti shall ihejl escape de
serve punishment? /No. Let Washington,
like Greytown, be blotted out. [lmmense ap
plauses.'] Let (he world know that hats is
tlot to bo insulted with impunity. It may be
said (hat-some of the people of Washington
are American citizens and innocent, of the
crime. So welte they’6f Greytown. is there
anything in. the character of the city which
calls for mercy? Jt was said of Greytown
that most of its iqfytbilaQts wore, peculators,
disorderly persons nod niggers. Can that be
denied.of Washington ? I ask, why should
Greytdwnjbo desltoyei) qndWashiogion spa
go, .oh?ip fo ,phap like
Borland of highg| najiotjal.. importance than
Ilj9 old Hfd of qur noqprefi President t •, Sr,.

PEOPLE’S CHOICE FOR CONGRESS:
GALUBHA A. QROW, ofSttsqnehanna.
’ , Bon, G. Ai ttroW.
Wo hoist Ihiigentloman’s nuns to the head of
onr paper, firmly resolved to keep it there until the
freemen, .of this Congressional DistriotahaU have
mot, and decided at the balloUw*, to reward hia fi.
delity to the causa of the North, and bis unshaken
integiity in a dark hour of National adversity. We
are that a necessity for bis return exists,
and to aid in answering that demand, what Utile we
can do will bo dono cheerfully and earnestly. In
Mr. Gaow, we see a democrat in' principle— -not of
party, merely. If he had not possossed tha .manly
independence to stand apposed to the present rotten
Administration and its infamous Slavery proclivities
if ho ha<Tnot proved himself a democrat in some-
Uiing hesidb the name, wo conid not speak in bis be
half. Bat, happily, we are not to remain a silent
looker-on while the North speaks to' the South this
coming autumn, through the ballot-box, and com
mends the} cause of those who were true to her in
terests. |
It almost certain that Mr. Grow will be renom
inated by ,the Democratic party proper; the Whigs
and Free'Democrats will go for. him en vnasxe (sil
ver greys excepted) whether he is a regular nomi
nee or a hplter, judging from- the feeling in Tioga.
Men are listening more to the home convictions of
duty, than to the weak, and vapid arguments of pat
ty worshippers, who would sacrifice all, for the dog'a
share of the spoils. The structures of adverse and
distinctive parlyism are tumbling about the cars of
party leaders, and Principle is cropping out on tbo
battle-field of politics. Welcome, returning Reason t
<3ov. Bigler and the Pardoning
Power.
There ire some human acta that strike the public
mind with horror and disgust, and some that cause
a thrill of surprise and indignation to pervade the
besom of community. Of the first was the crime
of the Easton Conspirators—men of standing and
wealth-rwha conspired to rob an imbecile old man
of his property by means the most infamous; and
of the latter, is the recent act of Gov. Bigler, extend
ing a full pardon to one of the principal conspire,
tors.
If the pardoning power is a proper power to be
cxorcised-by the Executive of a State, then our Ex
ecutivc'i/nd Judiciary functions clash horribly. The
pardoning power, as it is now vested and used, is
either a monstrous wrong, or our Judiciary, instead
of being a safeguard, is not to bo trusted—is a ref
up [One esn hardly see why one man—
with perhaps no exact knowledge of the circumstan
ces—should bo permitted to reverse the decision of
twelve competent men in the absence of any infor
mality- The Jadicjpjry should Jiavo-lU* power, and
the sole power to reverse or correct-its decisions.
'Chat is. the higher branch slionld have the power
to correct the errors of the lower, in all coses, and
not the Governor, when subsequent evidence goes to
throw doubt upon the J ustice of a sentence. The
best of men may err for want of light, and when
the light comes, a formal rehearing would set the in
nocent free.
But at present, the pardoning: power is degenera
ted, or rctrogaded into its ancient narrowness. It
was somewhat liberalized for modern use, perhaps,
but it reveals its origin too plainly to deceive the
true friend of the race. It is the relic of a barbar
ous state of society, and of a governmental system
which wc, as republicans, hiss tit. Absolute mon
archs are said to have the lives and property of their
subjects at their mercy; they may behead the inno
cent and pardon men guilty of the most atrocious
crimes, as evidence of especial favor. They may
use their power for present aggrandizement, or to
encoippaSs unworthy and wicked ends.
In Pennsylvania, the Executive may render nuga
tory the decisions of our courts and juries, as whim
ot caprice dictates. Trial by jury is considered one
of the chibf stones in the structure of human liberty.
It is intended to protect community as well as to
secure a just judgement of the acts of individuals,
properly conducted it is the best safeguard of the
dearest fights of the subject, and the best protect
ive against the designs of the wicked, that human
ingenuity has yet devised. But take from it one
tithe of its excellence, cripple it in the slightest de-.
groc, and ita virtue departs.
It may hd legal, bat it is one of the most flagrant
legal wrongs that’blot aWstatato book, to so cripple’
the working of a trial by jhry as to make the judg
raent of one man superior to, and subversive of the
combined judgment of twelve. men ; and especially'
when the one, has not the same opportunity of aha-’
ping his decision that the twelve had. It la an in
sult to the ’ (non who sit patiently,'hoar after hour
informing themselves as- to the minutest facts in the
case, and learning.lp distinguish between a lawyer’s
exposition of the law and the law itself. They may.
err—from from want of proper evidence, or from bo.)
ing befogged by dishonest legal technicalities, or
flam other causes,’bnf should they bo summarily
defhced.ea by, the purdoniog, power without the for.
mality of a hearing ? Or will any ope eonlood chat
a just sentence may )ie set aside by the Executive
Then the Executive the law, as.well os
the sentence.
Why should any more care be observed ip con.
viclipga man, than in pardoning him after convic-
ln the first instance, the accused ‘demands a
(arrand Impartial hearing; in the latter, society de
mands'iHe'- 1 “ ahy ”of the reverid of'their decision,'
and the'thrusting back iipon it amember whom,if.
ter a patient hearipg, they saw fit to reject And
society is no Ices just in its demand,'than is the ac
ensed in his. If a man is accused,of a high crime,'
he should hive every ftcllity afforded him to die

and shodows of evidence by twelit totnpeUnt men,

m
The Rirm essays fhrtfier, though lbs pardoning of
prJ Lacbenour may bavo conciliated the Whigs, the
people wilt pronounce snob a judgement npon him
(Bigler) at (be ballot-box, as will convince him that
the 1 verdicts of. our. Juries and the sentences of our
eoqrts.ara not,to be .trampled under foot—“ even by
a governor !"
But the bitterest, the roopt scathing thing said by
that paper, was in relation to the pardoning power
as I an engine for the Governor’s own advancement.
It coolly recommends that the remaining conspire,
low, as they happen to be good Democrat a, should
be liberated before election, instead of waiting until
after that interesting season shall have passed, as
it will enable them to deposit an article in t!he bal
lot-box, which the Governor will stand in need of,
on' or about the 3d Tuesday in October.
The Harrisburg Union attempts to show that the
Governor is justified by the record. But its apoio.
goticand cringing tone, ill accords with (be pretence
of justification paraded at its bead. If, as the Un
ion asserts, the verdict in Dr. L’s., cose was not jus.
tilled by Bie evidence, why did not (he Governor re
mit the fine, os well as the imprisonment 7—or did
he conclude that the Doctor was about half guilty 7
(□" Our friend of the Wayne County Herald has
found another hen's nest with a duck's egg in it—
or rather, he thinks he has. Children must be hu
mored in some of their whims—just as we let them
believe that hooggers “ up in the garret do dwell.”-
for all juveniles will believe in such things, remon
strate as we will. However, we propose. to crack
the “ egg," last discovered by friend Bcardslec, so
that he can acquaint himself with the contents.
He says that we deny publishing a whig paper,
yet lately published sundry puffs of the Agitator,
sill from Whig papers! Well, well, friend B.,Uial
it one'of your knock-down arguments. Let us look
at it: You made this charge once before. We
told you to point to the article in which we advoca
ted whig doctrine, or back down. Was it done'l—
no! Why ? because it could not be. But our
friend returns to to the charge after a two week's
breathing spell, and asserts that hone but whig pa
pers puffed us ! Now let us see what a veracious
mah our friend is: He says the Coudcrsport Jour
mi is s whig paper; it is not now, and neser teas.
Neither is the Keene (N. H.) News. The Hones
daie Democrat and the Tribune are neither of them
distinctive party papers, and the Montrose Register
kicked the Baltimore platform into a cocked hat
sometime ago, like a sensible fellow, as be is. (We
advise you to perform the same laudable acl,imme
diatetyt) And now to crown all, no paper has puff
ed us that does not teach. Uia dnnin«~- ™ Jtet soil,
'free~sj>eeeTT,and free MEN! and these ore our doc
trines also. If they constitute whig principles par
ezccellence, then we are whig. Wo learn from such
papers os the Herald, that true democracy tends to
perpetuate and extend Slavery. Wc once thought
it meant to secure the blessings of liberty to every
one of God’s creatures. Wo stand corrected—mod
ern democracy aims at no such thing.
Something in the tone of the Herald's paragraph,
impels us to suggest to its exceedingly modest head
that in future, whenever ho feels in the humor for
discussing the subject ol publishing “puffs," be
first sit calmly down and read a certain fable entitled
“ The Fox and the Grapes,” take plenty of cold wa.'
ter, and refrain from handling that 11 Begley ” for
the space of an hour thereafter. This will giro him
opportunity to conceal the spot where the "iboo
pinches.” .
We trust that our friend will take a reef in his
ample imagination, and keep his eye on one ol the
ten commandments in Allure,* when ho sits down to
giro his brethren “ file." His excessive modesty
reminds us of the yinng. lady who refused to use
hooks to fasten her dress, because they hid eyes to
match them.
Kot So.—Spy, Brown. of Florida, at a recent
whig meeting at Tallahassee, said that ho was in
favor of the, principles of the Nebraska bill, but dep
recaied its pasirfge, because the fruits will be dan.
gerons to the perpetuity of our free ihslifulioni.
Ho also elated what speechriiakers so often mis.
stele—that the Compromise of 1850 had been ao.
quiesced in by the whoie counlry, nsa final solllo
mentof slavery agitation. '
Can possible that Gov. Brawn is so Ignorant
of the true state of affairs 1 The North has never
acquiesced in the Compromise of 1850, and’the diff.
iculty—wo bad almost said, the impossibility of dx
eculing the .Fugitive Slave Law; peacably, should
teach Southern men that a msjurity ie
hireling vote Ihatidfitthond measure
a finality; Bat the North thunders back—“ NO”
to the treason of public servants.
. A- finality ! ..Why, that' Compromise was but the
initiatory of a series of agressions by thoSla've
power, the last of which shall canso the stupendous
wrong to fall, crushed and |irdkeo beneath its:
load of infamous trophies. The, very elements.of
agitation were sol at variant by that Compromise t
and the result has;been,and by. the a just

Fount I —Gerrilt Smith, at the close of the recent
session of Congress, refused to take of his mileage,
more than jnst enough to bear his actual expenses.
A correspondent of! a Philadelphia daily, deprecates
this action and says that it will excite ollicrs to em
ulate bis example, until at last, poor men will be
virtually debarred tram membership in Congress.
This is the first time that wo ever beard of any
danger threatening the rights and privileges ot poor
men from the emulation of virtuous' actions. by
members of Congress 1 But if every M. C-, should
refuse his surplus mileage, the balance could be
thrown into a common fund, for the purpose of
granting life annuities to the President and those

This is sectionalism that tells.' If we go to
the foreign appointments it is still worse.

lo the like high and patriotic elevation of pur.
pose, or there is no hope for our Country’s
Liberties. Th s policy of Slavery cannot/be
mistaken—indited it is boldly proclaimed.—
The recent hi) h-handed outrage, is but iha
precursor of c series of measures, designed
to give the Slo re Oligarchy absolute dominn
tion—tp crush out forever the policy and prin.
eiples of Freedom in this Government, and to
establish on the American Continent the most
nighty Slave Empire known in
the- world. • Submission—at.

The freemefi of the Republic, thank God,
have still left in their "hands a peaceful and
Constitutional remedy, if they will use it wise
ly and firmly—the ballot box. The power
and designs Of Slavery must be checked, and
the original policy of the Government on this
subject resiofed. To this end we must lay
aside—postpone for a time, the strifes of par
ly over minor points of controverted policy,
and unite in this great work of preserving
our free Inst tutions from impending destruct
ion. The fi-st blow must be aimed for the
overthrow of the present National Adminis
tration—the mere tool and puppet of the
Slave Povyei. Through the competing influ

Freedom has been betrayed.
