THE WASHINGTON EXCITEMENT.
The excitement at Washiugtoa, about the abduc
tion of Slaves, seems not only to have agitated the
whole community, but it got at length into both
Halls of Congress, and formed ihe subject of one
of the most excited and vehement discussions that
has been carried on in the Capitol or anywhere else,
for years. ' Nothing else wasdone in either House.
In the Senate, Mr. Hale's bill to prevent the de
struction of property by mobs or popular outbreaks
was the theme. Stirring Speeches were made,
Messrs. Calhoun, Butler, Mangum, Hannegan, Dou
glass, the two Davises, Foote and others participa
ted. Mr; Foote was on his highphalutia horse, and
assured Mr. Hale that if he would come to Missis-

ation! This did not please Senator Douglass. He
thought his Locofoco friend Foote was doing damage
to the party, by the use of such terms that he would
drive Locofocos4o the abolition cause of Mr. Hale
in the free Stages, and cause them to vote for Mr.
Hale, the candidate for the abolitionists for the Pres
idency. So he told Mr. Foote, that his speech was
as good as 10,000 votes to the Senator from New
Hampshire. Mr. Foote was again upon his high
horse by way of explanation. When he had finish
edj Mr. Douglass said the Mississippian's explana
tion was good for 5,00Qsno.re votes to the gentleman
from New Hampshire! He had now helped the
abolition candidate for the Presidency to 15,000
votes! This, amid all
considerable merriment.

Well, wc have heard of strange things in our
time, but the foregoing paragraph, from the last
" Standard," is more than " passing strange."- The
Editor is authorized by the "gentleman himself" to
deny the correctness of our statement. What gen

our friend of the " Fayetteville Observer" kindly
takes us ta task for the omission,) and yet the " Stan
dard," ob authority of thft u ypnt.lemp bjniaplt"T
contradicts the statement. Why should any mem
ber of the Convention be presumptuous enough to
apply to himself a general remark, if his conscience
did not accuse him 1 He either used the words at
tributed to him or he did not. If he did, of course,
it is natural enough he should make a personal ap
plication of our comments. If he did not, it is very
strange he should fancy himself alluded to, when he
was (to use the language of an old friend of cur's)
(: as innocent as a lamb." It will require stronger
evidence than the assertions of the "Standard," to
make us disbelieve not only the evidence of our own
ears, and that of a good many others, who will" give
Certificates if necessary. But why talk about Cer
tiScates, when the "Standard," in two distinct in
stances, before he closes his article, notwithstanding
the disclaimer of " the gentleman himself," admits
the truth of our statement. Hear him :
" The truth is, these words benighted and ig
norant," were eagerly caught up by the Register, and
tortured out of their real design and meaning; and
they have beeiPused for no other purpose than to
create prejudices in Whig minds against Democratic
truth." ,
Here is certainly an admission, that these words
were used, though not as strong, perhaps, as is con
tained in the following sentence :
" But suppose, for the sake of argument, that
the Whigs of North Carolina had been told, in an
insulting manner, and in a way calculated to injure
the character of the State for intelligence, they were
f ignorant and benighted"; what rightfrould the
Raleigh Register, the endorser of Browrilow, have
to complain ?" ..

we know nothing of the structure, of the English
language.

that " Massa'D s horse was mighty bad off with

the Beau forgot his dulcvnea, and turned to bestow

He became very much alarmed, and exhibited so
much restlesness'and anxiety in his endeavors and

called upon him to l; Have Patience, Mr. , have
