CONNECTICUT DORRISM.
- The public man who. by his official acts.
will encourage op--n hostility to government
in a neighboring State, is a traitor to his
own, and is holding up a high example of
treason for the imitation of a whole people.
This, Governor Cleveland has done, and
for this we do not believe the people will
hold him guiltless. For similar acts the
demagogue Governor Morton was I'E‘_j€'CIt-(I
by the freemen of Massachusetts, and for this
we trust the fret-men of Connecticut will visit
the same rebuke upon the demagogue Gov-
ernor Cleveland.
Are they willing again to add their sanc-
tion to such gross and outrageous violations
ofduty on the part of public officers?
An ambitious, violent rebel in it sister
state starts up "to turn the government upside
down. He throws the whole people into
commotion. Public interests are in danger.
and the peace of community is at an end.-
The traitor escapes from the public ven-
geance which is stepping upon his heels.
crosses over the State litnits, and is told by
Governor Cleveland, as plainly as official
acts can ‘do it, that here he can find a refuge
from pursuit. Thus does the chief magis-
trate of Connecticut nourish and encourage
treason. Thus are rebels and outlaws shel-
tered and fostered, and thus our people are
taught the lessons of-rebellion by the exam-
ple of our rulers. . ‘V
We will not believe the frecmen of this
State are ready to make Connecticut the
asylum of profligate refugees, of every name,
the nursing place of treason, the paradise of
public plunders, who cannot breathe freely
under a government of law and order. but
are striving to demolish the safe guards of
constitutional liberty.
‘I/Vhiggery in Massrtchrtvetts is Pretty

Precisely the same. It is the Whiggery
ofthe English Revolution in 1688, of the

cal Revolution of I840. The Whig29TY 0l

DUELS—CLAY AND JACKSON.
Amos Kendall has written a most nialig-
nant, unfair pamphlet, assziiling Mr. Clay as
a duelist. Now Mr. Clay has been twice
involved in duels, much to our regret and
we are sure to his own also. but in each case
he was the grossly insulted and injured par-
ty, as his opponents lived to see and acknowl-
edge, and he manifested no vinclifl-IVEDESS
nor revengeliil feeling. He merely con-
forinedito a tnost absurd and wicked custom
of the community in which he lived—-ii cus-
tom which he did not make. and ought to
have disregarded VVe are sure it is it
source of profound gratitude to him that no
oiher evil than the sanction given to an
abomin:-tble practice resulted from these
meetings, and that no stain of blood rests on
his hands. He has declared in an address
to his neighbors that no man can abhor du-
eling more than he does, though a deep
sense of wrong suffered, the momentary
mastery of his iiriagnation, impelled him to
seek the redress falsely styled ‘honorable.’
But this viper Kendall, who has writen
the tract to blacken Mr. Clay for challeng-
iziz and meeting two men who had grossly
insulted and defained him, has written a life
of Geri. Jackson. in which he narrates Jack-
sori’s duel with Dickinson, originating in a
gambling quarrel at a horse race, and in
which Jackson, alter receiving Dickinson’s
fire, deliberately shot his antagonist dead.—-
Arnos winds up the account of his bloody
tragedy as follows:
“The firmness ofnerve exhibited by Gen. Jackson
on this occasion HAS no'r CEASED TO BE A SUBJECT
or .-\D.\IIRA'1‘ION. * * * The stem purpose
which might in fact have nerved him, was best de-
scribed by himself, when a person expressed aston-
ishment at his self command: "Sir,”said he, "I
should have killed him if he had shot me through
the brain." ! 3 ! l l I
And yet the admiring narrator of this
horrible business, pretends to be shocked at
the contemplation of Mr. Clay’s bloodless
duels. VVhat monstrous hypocrisy l

Rumors of several Murders having been

The locofocos in Connecticut have for a
longtime been consulting together on the
subject of the Tariff. They don’ like a high
Tariff, a protective Tariff. nor a judicious
'I‘.trifI'; but at a public meeting recently held
they solemnly resolved that they were in fa-

Tariff would prove satisfactory to them .7

OPINION OF AMOS KENDBLL AND
HIS LIBELS. BY A DEMOCRAT.
The Democratic correspondent ofthe Phila-
delphia Chronicle makes the following very just
strictures upon Kendall’s lying pamphlet,-
“Clay’s Duels.” The same opinion we are
glad to know is held ofihis writer and his pub-
lications by all the honorable men ofthe Loco-
foco party at Washington. The correspondent
ofthe Chronicle, says-
“I have read this pamphlet of Mr. Ken-
dall's, and I must say that it is no less dis-
creditable to its author. than injurious in its
tendency to the success of the deniocratic
party. Mr. Clay is a statesman oftoo enti-
nent a public character to he lied down by
detraction and misrepresentation. I trust
that the more judicious members of the
democratic party will set their faces against
this and similar pamphlets from the pen pf
Mr, Kend .ll_ It’ party policy cannot restrain
Mr. Kendall from putting forth such publi-
cations. the recollections of Mr. Cltiy’s bene-
factions to him when he was a poor and un-
friended stranger in Kentucky, otight to pre-
vent him from this self degradation. The
democratic party has stropger weapons than
abuse and calumny to employ against Mr.
Clay, and writers of better morals and repu-
tation than Amos Kendall to defend its cause
and advocate its principles.’
Loco Foco CONSISTI-INCY.-—Tl)e Madison-

nessofour Connecticut lncos.tlie Hartford Times
in particular, in attempting to make capital out
of Mr. Clay's connection with the practice of
dueling, and says:
We do not desire to he considered the ad-
vocates of the pernicious practice. nor as the
defender of those who have fought! Our
object is simply to rebuke the inconsistency
ofthose editorial purists who condemn the
saute acts in their opponents for political ef-
fect. which have been committed by their
triends.
It is true that both Mr. Clay and Mr.Wise
have been engaged in duels. Both have
fought—the former twice the latter only once
But neither of them ever slew a fellow being.
There is much comfort in that.
The Times newspaper was the ardent and
unwavering supporter of Andrew Jackson.
and is now the zealous friend of Messrs. Ben
ron, Dromgoole, age, All ofthese gentlemen
have not only fought duels, but each of them
shot his man thro-rtgh the heart ! ! .' Each

HYPOCRISY AND DECEPTION.

tners and working men! Read this. You hear
much ofthe respect and regard which the Loco
foco leaders feel for the people. Now note what
Levi Woodbury said in his late Tariff Speech.
in the Senate. The speech was publiseed at
the Globe office and the Times says it was
written out and revised by Mr. Woodbury.—
Hear him Farmers!
“The reliance of all men. should be their

Butiliis is not all! Laborers! You want
and must. have high wages. Buchanan says,
you can do as well with low wages, if ollier
things which you wish to boy are low in pro-
portion. Btit what says VVoodbury ? He is
worse than Buchanan. In the same speech-
wriiten out and revised by Woodbury—-you will
find the following:

workmen are enabled to tax the home consu-

they receive, -makes them ne-it/ier ihappiervor

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART! I
Andrew J-ickson shot a man named Dick-
inson through the heart, and laid him dead,
a bleeding corpse, after Dickinson's pistol
had missed fire. Yet the locus laud Jack-
son as a good man, and shudder with horror
over a bloodless duel of Henry Clay!
The Times is rather too nervous, because
we go back a little to "old times" It is
easy to see the cause of this twinging.—-
There are unpleasant recollections about
imprisonirtg men for poverty. and boiling
them up for skeletmis—about Mr. Van Bu-
ren's opposing the extension of suffrage-
the Distribution and the Bankism of some
of their leaders, the To-rg/istn of the Phila-
delphia Ingersoll, and the Clog/ism and Tar-
iflism of the New Haven lngersolls-—the
opinions formerly entertained by the Times,
of Noah A Phelps and Isaac Toucey. and ti
thousand other matters -equally troublesome
to be recollected. These are the stings and
arrows which now return to plague the in.
ventora.—Ha.rtford Cou-rant.

MONDAY. March 18.
In the Senate, to day Mr. Archer sp0l_(¢_5."l
some length, in opposition to the proposition
to terminate the joint occupation of Oregon.
M. Archer said. the rerolution was based
on-”a distrust of the Senate. It was an uncon
stitutional attempt to controll the action of the
Executive, and the iuotive was to bring
shame on the treaty-making power. Ol Wlllch
the Senate was itself a part. It was argued
that the late treaty, which passed the Senate
by a vote of20 to 9. was disgraceful _l0 the
country, and that any treaty on the Oregon
question would be dishonorable. He could
tell gentleman how dishonor would be bro’!
upon the country. It was by taking the
course proposed by this rosolution, after we
had ourselves inviteda negociation upon the
subject. The Senators on the other side.
boldly assumed the ground that the resolu-
tion was intended to-obstruct the negociation.
Gentle-men said the no-gociatiou would curl
in nothing. He did not say it would. He
said leave the subject on the table for the
present, in order that we might take it up for
future action, if necessary.
Mr Rives objected he said, to the form and
the forutn in which this subject was brought
up for discussion. VVe presented a remark-
able spectnclc—considering a diplomatic
question in a public hody—- with fifty two tie-
gotiiitors on one side, all showing their
hands to the British minister and to the
world, Such a course could not but prove
to be most disastrous and mischievous to our
interests. His object was, in addressing the
Senate, to vindicate the treaty of I842 front
the obloquy cast upon it. and he did this in it
most able manner.
The same debate raged the whole day in
the House. Alterthe call of C0tlltllIl.l.L’PS for
reports. Mr. C. J. Ingersoll spoke, in Com-
mittee ofthe Whole, in stipport of the reso-
lution to terminate the joint occupancy.
'*"The Committee on Foreign Relations, of
which Mr. [cgersoll is Chairman, reported
against that resolution. But Mr. Iugcrsoll
expressed his dissent from this" report. Hr
did not think that a war would be the result
of this m»-asore. He spoke of the pride and
overbearing policy of England. and of tha-
necessity of preventing her encrouchnienls
upon our rights. He asked, where Mr.
Clay would be found on this question? As
to Mr. Van Buren. he confessed that he did
not know what his views were on the subject
but Mr. Van Bitten alwziys followed the peo-
ple. and the people were for this measure.
Mr. White of Ky. oppost-d the measure at
present, and commented upon the allusions
made to Mr. Clay. He said Mr. Clay
would he found where he was in 1820 and
I832. in favor of conciliation and of main-
taining the just rights and true interests of
the whole people.
Mr. Adams attempted several times to gel
the floor, but without success.
TUESDAY. March 19.
The speechs on the Oregon questions are
daily becoming more and more interesting
They are made the vehicle. on one side. of
every kind ofabuse and vituperation of Eng-
land and of those who negotiated the late
fro-my, Every appeal is made to national
prejudices, and old aniuiosities are raltt-d up
for the purpose of encouraging a war spirit
against England. V
In the Senate. to day, Wr. Choate delivered
«'I most admirable speech on the Oregon ques-
tion, and chiefly in reply to Mr. Buchanan
The speech commanded deep attention.
The speeches of gentlemen on the other
-iile professed to have peaceful ends and ob-
jects, but they were all sown broad cast with
topics and tnenances of war.
They were all perfectly sincere,-ev‘ery
one of them. They were ‘for pi-ace--—but
flesh and blood, they s-iid, could not stand all
this abuse and ribaltlry of the British press '
they were for p--act-—but that Lord Ashbot-
ton hid cheated us; they were for peace-—
hut England was too arrogant and overbear-
ing; they were for peace-—but there-was a
natural entnity—a deep seated, undying en-
mity between the two nations. It was in
this way that gentleman had professed to be
rtends of peace between the two countries.
The dial spoke not, but the hand pointed.
Mr. Choate plainly shewed that the conse-
quences of the course pursued would be a
war. and if ilie resolution was passed, we
ought to tnake preparations for it.
He also argued that, ifevents were left to
their natural order ----if no exaspemtinp
ineasures were substituted for the natural
order ofthings, we sboiild very soon obtain
entire possession of the country, by agricul-
tural settlenients which would be a speedier
and proper way of getting it than by war.
Mr. B-ichanan will rejoin to tnofrow.

for the first time since the late calamity.

time, when the committee of the whole was

quorum being obtained, the House wt-m

ued its discussion till 4 o'clock, when the
Committee rose and the House adjourned.

morning, Mr. Buchanan havingtlie floor. Mr.
Choaie having been informed that Mr. Bitch-
anao charged him with over stating his pnsi:";.-
