■flou of 4 Southm*U Chivalry.—We publish it
that 6ur readers* mayjie# how little provocation
there was For that gross Outrage :
" With comoftgafn .upon the Sena
tor from South purolina (Mr. Butler), who,
otjinipresent in rids debate,, overflowed with
rage at the .dijiYple suggestion that Kansas
had applied for aijtnissioji as a state; and.
wfth incoherent phrases, discharged the loose
expectoration of his speech,, now upon her
Representative and they "upon her people.—
Tliere was no elUravnganc* of the ancient
Parliamentary debate\vhnh he did not repeat ;
uor was .there any possible deviation from the
truth which he did not make, with so much
of passion, lam glad to add," as to save him
from the suspicion of mtetttiOnnl aberration.
But the Seimto? touches nothing which he
does not disfigure—with error, sometimes of
principle, sOiaetrhies of fact. He shows an in
capacity of accuracy, whether in stating the
Constitution or in stating the law ; whether
in the details of statistics or the diversions of
| scholarship. Tie cannot open his mouth but
out there Hies a blunder. Surely he ought to
be familiar with the life of Fraidclin ; and vet
he referred to this household character, while
acting agent of our fathers in England, as
above suspicion ; ami this was douc that he
might give point to a false contrast with the
agent of Kansas—not knowing that, however,
they may differ in genius and fame, hi this res
pect they are alike ; that Franklin, when in
trusted with the petition of Massachusetts
Bay, was assaulted by a foul-mouthed speaker,
where he could not be heard in defence, and
denounced as a " thief,'' even as the agent of
Kansas has been assaulted en this floor, and
denounced as a " forger." And let not the
vanity of the Senator be inspired by the par
allel with the British statesmen of that day ;
for it is only in hostility to Freedom that any
parallel can be recognized. But it is against
the people of Kansas that the sensibilities of
the Senator are particularly aroused. Com
ing, as he announces, "from a State" aye, sir,
from South Carolina—he turns with lordly
disgust from this newly-found community,which
he will not recognize even as " a body poli
tic." Pray, sir, by what title does lie indulge
in this egotism ? Has he read the history of
the State which lie represents? He cannot!
surely have forgotten its shameful imbecility 1
from slavery, confessed throughout the Revo- i
lotion, followed by its more shameful assump
tions for slavery since. lie cannot have for-I
gotten its wretched persistence in the slave !
trade as the very apple of its eye, and the con- ,
dition of its participation in the Union. He j
cannot have forgotten its Constitution, which 1
is republican oniy in name, confirming power j
in the hands of the few, and founding the qual
ifications of voters on " a settled freehold es- 1
tate and ten negroes." And yet the Senator
to whom that "State" has in part committed
the guardianship of its good name, instead of !
moving with backward treading steps, to co- !
ver its nakedness, rushes forward in the very
ecstaey of madness, to expose it by provoking
a comparison with Kansas. South Caroiina
is old ; Kansas is young. South Carolina!
counties by centuries where Kansas counts bv
years."
RI FFIAN'ISM IN* WATIUNGTON.—A desjiatcli
from Washington gives an account of a ruffian
ly and cowardly assault ujion Senator Sum
ner, in the Senate chamber, yesterday. At
the close of the p < ce din rs of the Senate, Mr.
Brooks, of South Carolina, went 1 up to Mr.
Sumner, and first knocked him down with a
cane, and then continued to heat him till he
was insensible. The motive for this brutal
violence was to punish Mr. Sumner for his re
marks in the Senate, the day previous, in re
ply to Mr. Butler, in which Mr. S indulged
in considerable severity of language. Mr.
Brooks is a relative of Mr. Butler, aud took
this unjustifiable and cowardly way of vindi
cating that gentleman's honor. Iu England,
where the Parliamentary privilege is greater
than here, and guarded bv special enactments,
such a gross violation of law and the sancti
ties of a legislator would be punished prompt
ly by I'arliHiuetifc as a breach of its privileges,
without the perpetrator being handed over to
tlie criminal court. In this country, where
the Constitution guards fiie inviolability of the
citizen, the legislative privilege, in practice at
least, is more restricted. Congress very rare
!y—in bat three instances, we believe, in its
history—having undertaken to punish breach
es of its privilege. It has preferred to ban I
the offender over to the courts of law, where
the character of the offence and the extent of
the penalty are both well defined, though the
power to provide for an umli-turbed exercise
of its functions nndonbedfy stili remains with
Congress. If this assault upon Mr. Sunnier
is not a breach of privilege, it certainly is a
flagrant outrage of more than ordinary turpi
tude, for it is not only a cruel personal as
sault, but it is an act. tlie ten e cy of wlich
is to restrict the freedom of debate in our Na
tional Councils, to interfere with the repre
sentative iu the discharge of his duties to his
constituents, ami, therefore, endanger and
impairing the functions of the lcgislature.-
Tlie Senate, therefore, owes a duty to itself to
see that the offender is handed over to the
Grand Jury for indictment and trial ; and if
the House consult its own dignity, and has a
proper regard to the protection due a legisla
tor, it will expel Mr. Brooks from his seat in
that body, for we presume tire offender is the
member of that name from South Carolina. —
In all the e.xpi rieitee of ruffianism in Congress,
we have never heard of a more wanton, brutal
and unmanly act, than that attributed to Mr.
Brooks. — Led tier.

vn!, in discussing the capabilities, character
and ]>o itiou of the different candidates for the
Presid nicy, thus speaks of Mr. Douglas :
" Then there is Stephen A. Douglas. lie
is a man of considerable vigor of intellect, but
without honor, honesty, truth or dignity.—
He is low Hung. lie is a groundling, lie is
a rowdy. He is of the class of bar-room poli
ticians. lie is at home with the low and vul
gar. lie is uneasy in the company of gentle
men. He electioneers for the Presidency by
means that would render a coimly candidate
for the Legislature of Kentucky punishable
by law. As for principle, he has 110 idea of
it. lie is at the present time the peculiar
candidate of the filibusters, the aggressive*,
the manifest destiny men ; and if he were
President he would not hesitate to issue his
proclamation to-morrow, authorizing the sei
zure of Cuba, all South America, and the
whole of Mexico, so he could hope thereby to
wiuapplause for boldness and audacity. \s pre

thorough and cordial sympathy wfth the cause
