a creed that was never quite true — the creed of the Constitution --pressed down upon the intellects of our public men. This was the dower and curse of slavery.

In March he was arrested for a brutal assault on a gentleman in a hotel, but the victim and the witnesses found it prudent not to appear against a ruffian who did not hesitate to threaten the district-attorney in open court. Meanwhile, the new Whig Administration quite justifiably discharged Rynders from the Custom-house, leaving him free to pose as a savior of the Union against traitorsa savior of soci
