The debates upon intervention for the
?mke of* non intervention are elowly progreaung;
ekreogb ?ke Senate. The final reault verjr like?
ly will be directly opposed to the wishes ami ex
pectanor.s of Kossith and his friends, and still,
even in that shape, their bearing, will be im?
mense upon the nations of Furepe and their
tyrants The whole Kossi th excitement in all
als various manifestations, aa parades, proces.
aions, receptions, meetings of the masaes of Ihe
Arne man people, togt ther with their echo from
the Capitol, will act and are doing it already,
in a manner not so manifestly violent, but not
less sharp and penetrating, into the heart of
those at whom they are aimed. Therefore, if the
resulta of all this are not instantaneously trans?
formed mto diplomatic protocols or notifications,
or more explicit balls and cartridges?rieverthe
loss their impression will in more than one way
he deeper than if even , romulgsted on the point
of the bayom t.
The old. rotter, bloody Monarchies, the also,
lutists and despots of Europe, in wholesale and
in.retail, are evoked before the tribunal of a free,
independent ar.d real people. There they are
trealed with the utmost freedom, stripped naked,
ahown off in all their turpitude, roughly handled,
without any respect for crown, scepter and the
blood-colored mantle of royalty. In thie way
they are spoken ol even by those who, like the
Senator from Rhode Island, oppose the BOW pol?
icy. They do this not from respect for the
crowned heade, but solely aa a mailer of expe?
diency. All that is done or spoken here in this
matter, penetrates through thousands of chan?
nel* into Baal Of it, public and official, as wa 1 aa
private, wounding deeply, if not mortally, the
blood-suckera of the people there
Dragged thus without any ceremony before
the masses composed of the same social elements
on which they trample mercilessly, the Euro?
pean rulers see with rage their sham-majesty
melting more BM rn-vrc before the- piercing mns
ot* the American sun. If a war should he levied
against them, they might in ooai ovic?
torious over armiea and fleets; but they are
powerless and shieldless against the strokes
darted ot them from alt sides, and all subdi
visions of the Auteiican Commonwealth. What?
ever coolness and COAtl nipt they may allot t. n.
ternally they boil with rage, and all the more
because they are deprived of all Hftfl ins whati ver
of vengeance. (N this real eiiect OD the Cabi

aas Um world bee* ?aere humbugged thia arxwt
great trtn. There never ?m a greater fallacy than
the fopr-MUion that mere mental greatnes* ii the |
thia? B-ott needed in t men called to administer tbe
affairs of a free people Taleat aad genius in mgh ,
station hate been the chief cute of gretMt
miachieftaadthereatart miseries the world hat suf
fered. And thia Government hat been no ?t*pt>on
,o the rule. We have been at much bedeviled bf
great name, aa an, pe?p-'? in the world. We have
lot suffered rich great calamities, because of our
rhvaa of government, and beca.ise of our geograpli- !
cal position. But at a people, in our devotion to
men, ?e have been juat about aa aiily aa tbe re?t of
the world. That ia to aay. we have gone at far in
following leadera, and in admiring leaden, at the
circumatancea of each particular caae admitted
We do not care to particularize instances, neither ia
it necessary. Tha fact admita of no dispute, and
thia we may state without being ineidtr. MA
Now we protest against the habit, and we espe?
cially protest against the idea that great men are at
ail necessary to administer t!?e affairs of this Gov?
ernment. We are dispoer !, witn some reluctance,
to go so far as to admit that greatnes- is no disquilt
ficatum for office . but we deny in toto that it is an
essential requisite. It should perhaps be considered
prime f*\cu evidence against a man, but all other
things being equal, integrity, business cipuity,
soundness of judgment, we would not have it ope?
rate to exclude a man from the higher -tations.
W We might ask w hat there is to puzzle any man of
strong mind in administering the affairs of this Gov?
ernment under a plain Constitution and plain laws,
such as we have spread <"it up n o ir s.attre- Vc<?,
for the information of all the world * Does the civil
administration require the exercise of any qualities
beyond these possessed by every man of g0 >1 capa?
city, sound judgment, just purposes, and a firm in?
tegrity I In the Executive administration we need
prudence, we need sense, we need industry, decision
and integrity. But we don't need greatxri-s. If we
did our s>?tem of government would be a failure.
For greatness does not grow on erery bush, and
cannot be drawn forth e^ery four years to order.
Let it be remembered that great superiority of in?
tellect is not necessarily astociated with either hon?
est purpose*, sound judgment, or integrity, or intre?
pidity of character. And without these latter quaii
ncatior.s, the further a man is from office, the better
for the people of the country. The worli tso often
forgeia, in its estimate of the fitness of men for high
station, that character St fur more important tnan
e ither talent orjKeniuE. Affairs of government are
kfTaus of business and inter* \\ ar.d require businen
men und trusty men to aTtaWaV them properly. The
first qualification for these tri. tS is honesty. ?AV
mg Boole sure of this, thn great point is gained.
But to elevate mere capacity without le'erence to
integrity, is tbe grtatisi mistake that cm nossibly
be made, it ?rata better to have an hjnc.st fool in
office than a scoundrel genius.
But the wor'.J has nev. r \rot i: J ;.! : V? rc reran e
f?,r high intellect, bee on e it has been lor tho interest
ol 11 it lift to preserve the Celusi >n. Integriiv has
never bad a fair ?haaaS*. be.*-nine i: hai al*avi * me
clad in t( mely garb and ht?-had but few in p-nlic
concerns to trumpet m praises. We hear dui y of
statesmen of great ability, but hoar strange it would
aavisd to tear 0M cosanteoded for his aawAtfy.' It
would almost be reckoned a joke i> hear a public
man praised fog IBCh a quality.
Our conclusion is, that it is a pir . e of impajition
for tie frierida of any man to rit mind tha public
n.P ape in his euj>|?or t simply because of that man's
intellectual suptiiority.
Happily, we have a (.'overiitiien: that is just a'iD'it

The objeet of ?11 this eagerness lo admit any but
the true motives in making this demonstration is
apparent on ihe face of it. This mad-dog cry of
Abolition and Anti Slavery i this preteneeof secret
haired to the friends of the compromises, u relied
npon aa a potent spell to scare away others from
giving it their favor. It is, however, one that has
been tried too often and too long, an ! has long since
lost its power. The reign of terror has hapmly
ended, and that of common sense and reason have
been tco far restored among us for grown up men to
be now frightened from their propriety by such raw
head and bloody bines scare-crows. These weak
devices of the enemy acd weaker pretenses of hypo?
critical friends are too evidently contraiicted by the
facts of the case to have any weight eicept with
those determined not lo see, kear or believe the
truth. In this case thete attacks are met and con?
tradicted by the deliberation, the cogitations, thi
unanimity and the but too apparent heartiners of the
entire proceedings They truly represent the feel?
ings, not of any wmg, faction or portion, but of the
entire Whig party of .Main?. Everything proves
this Every Whig paper in the S'.ate re?pond*d a
hearty amen to it. Every Whig member of the Leg?
islature gave i: Ha hearty sanction. There was but
one ftelicg and bul one voice?there was nit one
exception. Mow from this it w ould seem that, if it
be time th-.: the Anti Slavery Wnigs and those who
are iiimiral to Mr. Wetsteb art responsible for
this demonstration, they a", least comprise the whole
Whigpi.rty of Maine, and that in one of UM n >st
