each other. Who so unfeeling-who so |
destitute of Christian principle-who so
barbarous, that he would countenance the
horrible transaction-that he would SYM
pathize with one of the fratricides; and,
as often as he deprived the other of limb
or an eye, would blazon the news abroad
in triumph, applauding his skill, and hop
ing him all success in the atrocious work !
And how is it that those, all of whose best
and noblest feelings instinctively revolt at
such spectacle, can look calmly and COM
placently on, and encourage this same aw
full business, when carried on by govern
ment, and magni6ed thousand fold in ex-
tent and enormity!
Whatever intelligence from the field Of
blood we can deem to be of use to our
readers, shall from time to time be COM
municated; but we have no heart to gaze
constantly, or to keep our readers gazing
from week to week at the movements of
those whose regular employment it is, to
destroy human lite. The latest accounts
from Florida speak Of battle in which
the number of whites killed was g.
wounded 46. The Indians are said to be
in the field with 1900 men, determined to
havea resting place for their bones with
their fathers. The United States govern
ment is determined to subdue them, drive
them away, or exterminate them. No
doubt some of these terrible resolutions
will be carried into effect AS to Texas,
the emigrants from the north are bent up
on conquest; on the other hand, Santa
Ana has sworn to take Texas or lose Mex
leo. What folly What atrocity -
What madness What insanity! What
wickedness
RIOTS IN high pLnceS-A most scan
dalous proceeding-to say nothing of the
violation of the ord's-day-took place in
the House of Representatives at Wash
ington on the goth ult. 1t seems that the
business of-d0ing nothing-became so
urgent on Saturday night, that it was ne
cessary to occupy about four hours and a
half OF Lord s-day morning with their I'M
portGnt transactions! AS candid a man
as Hezekiah Miles, editor Of the Weekly
Register, styles the affair "riot' The
editor of the Baltimore Chronicle thinks
that the members ofthe House of Repre-
sentatives are spending their time most un-
profitable to the nation, if not disreputablv
to themselves and that 'the greatest SER
vice they could render to their country
would be to adjourn"
The subject Of discussion before the
! House was the North Carolina contested
election. (which subject has since been
disposed of by a decision against both par

North Carolina and Mr. Wise of Virginia
became personally abusive, scurrilous
vul gar and violent in their use of Ian
guage. They brandished fists and ex
changed vile epithets, BETTING the bases

rushed towards each other, but were held

made, and this dishonorable matter was
