The Hon. john N. Ro,ts vIginian Gcntfe-
1t has been the boast of Virginia, that while the
simplicity OF republican forms and institutions has
sensbly impaired the respect paid to high breeding
and etiquette in the Northern and Western States,
within her borders the flower Of chivalry bloomed
with its wontel briIiancy-a and not unjustly. A
true born Virginian is a gentleman par erceLence;
he possesses all the refinement Of MANNER the deli
cacy Of feeling, the high souled devotion and re-
spect for the fair SEX and the courtesy in his inter-
course with his own, which, by the common con-
sent Of the civilized world, constitute a higher or
der Of nobility than birth or lineage In the coun
try seats which surround Richmond, Lynchburg
and other towns in the Old Dominion, you will End
q close imitation IL he winning grace Of the old
cavalier, and not few traces Of he romantic gal
lantry which distinguished the courts of feuda
Europe. Who ever heard Of rudeness in the mouth
Of Firginian ! Who will venture to assert that
Virgnian was ever wanting in courtesy or respect
to q lady The man who would S, belle the we'll
earned fame Of his native State, would be instantly
overwhelmed with obloquy, and held up to public
scorn, as unworthy the name OF Nirginian.
We did not think that we should have required
to lay certificates Of character before our readers
we had cited example of the upper class of Vr
ginians, the name Of SIr. John Minor Bolts Sprung
from highly respectable family, Mr.. Bolts occupies
leading position among his fellow ctizens--he has
filed scat in Congress, and enjoyed, for time, the
friendship of President Tyler, The intimacy, in
deed, which united these two remarkable men was
80 close according to Mr. Bolts account, that, in
true brotherly fashion, they shared the same table,
and even the anne bed Without offering any re-
marks on the peculiar taste Of these domestic ar
Engagements, we should have had no hesitation in
pronouncirg the friend Of Mr.. Tyler to be sample
of the polished, high-seuled virginian. 1t was a
satisfaction to US, yesterday, to know that at the
time these remarks win be read our fellow citizens
would have al opportunity Of deriving some benefit
from refining intercourse with their subject at tho
Astor House
Such being our opinion Of Mr.. Bolts, and the Nir-
gnians in general, our readers will picture our
amazement at the perusal Of g. eech delivered by
that gentleman, few days ago. at Charlottesville,
In which General Pierce and his supporters as
sailed in the most ungsntlemanly language. They
will share our peechless establishment, when they
end that Mr.. Bottsthe pink Of chiyalry, the tower
Of Virginia--dragged lady before political meet
rg and Disguised his hearers with scandalous anec-
does Of private life That such gross violations of
every rule Of delicacy and good breeding should BE-
found in apoty scurrilous shoet in the the North,
Is unfortunately, no great matter of surprise; but
that Virginian-a refined gentleman, the bosom
friend Of President-should so outrage dccen.y,
may well puzzle the most experienced student Of
human nature. We felt FIR the Tirgnians when
the nows reached them. We know how keenly that
high souled and sentative race will writhe unie-
the imputation that their character as gentlemen
Is forfeited We sympathise with their inds-
nation at the Cisreputablc language and
duct Of one wh,, nom his standing among
them, may well pass among strangers for
a fair criterion OF tho aristocracy Of the State
We can picture the flush which will mantle toe
check OF the representatives Of the old families,
when 1t is known that Of their leading men has
committed On act which would involve hisiynomini.
GUS expulsion from society, If he were resident o.
any Of the other civilized countries of the world
We can imagine tleir burning shame, when the
speech Of VIginian goes abroad to the world, and
leads foreigners t. believe that in Virginia th
restraints of decacy, the sacred privicy Of domes-
tic life, ard the vel of respect which ought to
shroud the female SEX are completely unlnoTn OF
utterly disrogardej
If, in view Of so gross outrage on the feelings
Of popular assembly, and so foul treason to the
well earned fame OF his native State, we may be
excused for dwelling yot moment on this repulsiye
topic, we would ask some ingenious reader to fur
nish US, if they can, with the motive Of Mr..
Bolts ne1.found yulgarity Had there been the
slightest ground for hoping that the prospects OF
Mr. Bolts Presidential candidate would be improved,
by rude intrusion into the domestic life Of lady,
we have seen enough Of politics to know that more
than one INSCRIPTIONS partisan we could mention
would gladly purchase a vote by the sacrifice of his
character as gentleman although, to be candid,
we had never suspected that virginian would be
guilty OF such baseness But men of far less shrewd
ness than MIR. Bolts could zee that the anecdote he
related, any were found so simple as to believe 1t,
would rather tell against his candidate than in his
favor' The most obtuse Of Mr.. Botta' hearers can
not have considered IL a recommendation TO public
regard, that General Scott had insulted lady by
abusing her busband to her face. As political
weapon, the story, even if true, (Which Il lie not)
was useless. Mr.. Bolts can have been influenced by
no other motive thar a love for kitchen scandal
Mas IL that cf@Dpg fpr csaus abuse, which Iced,
