M. Allen aud Mr.. crittsnaxm--- The Extreme Hs.-


riiiation-Anaiysis Of the Final pots upon the


Oregon Resolutioms


THE intelligent reader will understand the terms
employed In this chapter in their hguratve and not
In literal sense, although all figures OF speech are
incompetent to pourtray the extreme humiliation of
THE Senator from Ohio. There must be "compro-
mise," or fight, upon this question, as well rs
upon the Oregon aud while the Senator from Ohio
denounces compromise" in the one case, we
doubt not he would cheerfuly embrace il in the
other. This is the true test of politicians con-
sistencyl


They are laid out-the ultras-the raw heads and
bloody bones-tae national honor men-one of
whom at least, seems to have no idea OF personal
honor-the rampant, domineering, dictatorial fifty
tour forty men, war or no war; but war by all
means, il we drive the nation into it-they are
laid out, sir, fiat as be. They are extnguished
they are sutifed-,hey are confounded, dunn
iounaereo, dislocaed, defeated, rebuked before the
Senate-before the people-before the principles of
common sense, and by The principles of common
justice-before the country and before the world.
Demagogueisrn, roundheadism, rowdyism, Jacobin-
ism, Anachacharss Cloots-ism are voted out of the
Senate-thank God spit upon, kicked out, and
denied the rites OF Christian burial: denied PRAYERS
denied mass, tor there are none so poor as TO do
them reverence.


From the opening Of the session you will bear
witness to our fidelity to tho principles of common
sense. We saw, as Senator Haywood some time
after said-we saw that there were several men
using the hobby of 81 40, as an ass upon which to
ride iEto the Presidency, reckless of consequences
reckless OF justice reckless OF humanity, bloodshed
everything, so that the end could be attained And

saw 1t, Webster saw; even flanagan saw 1t and vet

by the splendid visions before him, that he saw no.

at the end OF the lane. Through all the session ne
has been most unruly-appealing to prejudlces and
not TO prnciples-denounclng men as on the British
side, who are men that will fight tor the national
honor as well as tor their own. We have told you
there was no fight IN him, that 1t was all


Sound and fury signfying nothing"


Instead of the office of Foreign Relations giving
greater influence TO the man-it Is undenable that
II has lessened him. He has proved himself un-
equal TO it-unable to hft himself up to it-and he
has been the object OF dstrust among his friends,
and the secret OF the signal defeat oil hls band by
his enemies He suffered yesterday the very ex-
tIeme OF humiliation under Crittenden for he was
given to understand that he was low blackguard
and instead OF resentlng this extreme afIront, he
apologies; instead OF resisting this assault he at
tempts TO explain away the cause. The explanation
Is cast back into his teeth, and he kicked at and
spit upon and this great champion of the round





Senate chamber Is yet ringing with his earthquake
appeals for war.


"oh what a fall was there, my countrymen ~
He has had a hard time. He first declares war
against all Europe, and Calhoun lays him in the
dust He next denounces the forty-nines as want
ing the nerve, and Haywood pins him to the wall;
he then falls upon the North Eastern Boundary, and
Webster keeps him shut up In his room; he is
clamorous for preparing the hearts of the people
tor war;" while his own heart shrinks from per-
sonal encounter But the worst Is reserved Tor the
last-the final overthrow-the complete letting down
the extreme humiliation. He has been urging the
Senate to action upon the notce-he is impatient of
delay AT last, his own time is conceded-his own
day agreed upon. He surrenders his own proposition,
and urges the measure Of the House. 1t is rejected
He sees that the iates are against him-he becomes
indignant and lncautious. He denounces the whole
Senate ms "hiding behind bush" He is doomed
Crittenden seizes him, throttles him, makes hun
swallow his words, and then throltles him and
shakes him. and sprrns him IN unmiugated scorn
He Is quiet; and were 1t the passive resignation
OF a Christian, there would be some merit In it.;
but II Is the resignation OF war. chief, of man
who would hight tor every inch of Oregon and the
smallest scinuila OF national honor. Could any
thug be more inconsistent, more humiiating, than
this We cannot imagine that the language of
Mr.. Crittenden was justified in the Senate but why
was II not resented by the champion of war; by
a warrior who was not satisfied with collision with
Great Britain alone, but who would throw down the
glove to all the nations OF Europe? Great Ajax,
