DUEILING.

We would not have any one understand, by
the remarks in yesterdays paper, introducing
the account OF the Soule ducls, that we consider
the question Of the morality Of dueling at all
doubtful one. The practice is barbarous
wrong, and absurd This is the prevailing
sentiment of Christendom. whatever code the
mon Of honor" may devise for themselves.
Who thinks better Of any man for having
fought duel? Was il necessary to attest the
courage Of Hamilton? Had he declined the
challenge, would his reputation for heroism
have suffered What could he prove by stand
ing up to he shot at? Not the possession Of
patriotism, virtue, integrity, truth, honor--for
Burr, who was destitute Of all these stood on
the samc level, exposed, rs he believed, to the
same DANGER And what did that cold-blood-
ed man gain Did he disarm prejudice, win
public confidence, compel belief in the purity
Of his character? flo killed his man, and be-
camc wandering Cain--the blood Of the mur-
dercd upon bis soul, hated and abhorred by
the country, one Of whose greatest and best
men he had slain.
All duels are as senseless, if not so afro
cious, and 20 deplorable in their consequences,
as that.
A member Of Congress applies rude cpl
thot to brother member. Retraction or cx-
PLANTATION il demanded, and refused The Of.
Tended member goes TO the field Of honor, to
prove the injustice Of the cpithet, by giving
the offending member chance to shoot him
Cogent logic Excellent sense Suppose the
charge be that he is no gentleman, or that he
is guilty Of an nntruth, does he prove that he
is gentleman, and that he is truthful, by re-
ceiving the contents Of his adversary's pistol
in bis stomach, or by lodging tho contents Of
his in his advcrsary's livers He may do both,
and yet be liar and bIackguard; for liars
and blackguards have fought duels, and o.
capped unhurt.

but drop in the bucket compared with the
illgal English Importation that soon followed,
increased, and continued. To set up the dis
crimination is to render it incumbent on our
shareholders to prove that their slaves are de-
scendants of those imported under some for
eign flag! Even then they would have to
prove the legality of the foreign slave traffic.
But, in the second place, slaves imported nn-
der foreign flag become free the moment they
touch the soil Of country wherein Slavery is
not legalized, because Slavery exists only under
