puILANTHRopIsTs By THE EARS.

A distressing quarrel has sprung up be-
tween those two abolition journals, the n 4.
Times and the N. Y. Tribune. The occasion
for the exhibition of their Incorporate wrath
is the subject Of Temperance, which virtue
they seem to think consists entirely In alb
stinenee from drink, and does not include
moderation in spirit--a making clean Of the
outside of the cup and platter, Ike their
Pharisaic prototypes, while within is all man
ner of extortion and excess. According to
the N. Y. Herald, when Mr.. Seward agreed
10 a coalition with the Temperance party in
order to carry New York last fall, the lieu
tenant of the Tribune set his heart on the
Governorship and the lieutenant of the Times
on the Lieutenant Governorship. The for
mer was disappointed the hopes of the lat
ter were realized. But, sorrowful to relate,
no sooner was the election over than dead
ly war commenced between the editor who
was not Governor and the editor who is Lieu
tenant Governor. In late number the Iri-
bune thus speaks of the Lieutenant Govern
or, of the Times:
We think that in the interest Of public morality
his 1.-THE Lieutenants1 base and slippery conduct re-
Quires to be held mp to general contempt, ana we

MEN means Of setting b. aself night with the publ c;
possibly BY abusing all the men in town VINO nave
not Civ pledges contrary to their convictions an
violated them afterward, he might IN time Ieseole
his own reputation, and revive confidence In mis- Po-
liticel honesty-but we hardly beievsit
The Times rejoins in wrathful mood, con-
siders the course of the Tribune unparalleled
in the history of the American press, and
says:
1t fabricated and published barefaced falsehoods
about his (the Lieutenant Governorsl personal &C
tons Sesisusd and calculated to create au impress
sion among Its readers tosils to the integrity OF MS
private character 1t has been at once the most ven
nous and the most relentless OF thoss who nave
made their special bnsins to sgn his character
and belle his conduct. No extremity of personal
abuse has transcended ia License and NC enormy OF
fsehood and injustice has been too great for its easy
and familiar use.
Commenting Oh these mutual accusations
of baseness, dishonesty, calumpy, hypocrisy,
and what not, the N Y. Herald says it must
be remembered that the editors of the Tri-
bune and Times have known each other
long, and had ample opportunities OF form
ing correct judgment OH each others char
acter. Tbs South will hence be able to esti
mate, at their true value, the sweeping de-
nunciations by the one of Southern men and
institutions, and the insidious but equally
malignant assaults of the other.

MASSACHUSETTS, AND KANSAS.

eCf1ptl0n only ONA DoA-- r
MASSACHUSETTS AND KANSAS.
The first legislative move, calling upon
the Ganer.l Government TO resist the 'arm-
ed invasion of Kansas by Missourians," has
Of course come from Massachusetts. Was
ever anything more in keeping with that Pc
culiar feature of Pharisaism which can see
NOTES in the eyes of its neighbors, while it is
utterly unconscious of beams in its own7-
Massachusetts, the first to invoke the Gene
raj Government to avenge alleged lawless
ness of slaveholders-she whose last act was
to remove an honest and faithful Judge
for executing the laws Of the General Gov
ernment, whose soil is yet wet with the blood
of an officer of the General Government
slain by her own citizens because he was up
holding the laws, and whose boast and pride
It is, that she nullifes the constitution and
Laws of the United States, whenever they
come in conflict with her peculiar notions
We have never heard q more exquisite ilus-
tration of the self delusion, in regard to its
own crimes, and the keen perception of the
faults Of others, which fanaticism invariably
engende,s. The mover of the resolution was
30 kind as to proffer the aid of Massachusetts
in support of the General Government
against Kansas Should collision between
the slavehol ding and non slaveholding States
ever grow out of this Kansas disturbance, we
would suggest that the mover OF the Massa-
chusetts resolution, the committee on the ex'
pulsion Of Judge Loring, and the late nun
merry committee, the incendiaries OF the
Charleston Convent, the Rev.Theod'e Parker
and the other assassins of Batchelder, be per-
mitted to lead the van of the Massachusetts
war. One half hour, foot to foot and hand
to hand, with these miscreants, would satisfy
the South for all the trouble they have ever
caused her. But she would be permitted no
such qualification. All history demonstrates
that the pfotters and abetters of mischief,
and of both civil and foreign war, are the last
to take part in its realities, uniformly skulk-
ing from the storm which they have reused,
and leaving it to better men to fight and die
in their battles.
The General Government, however, is not
likely to turn a very gracious ear to the
blood-thirsty appeals of law-loving Massa-
chusetts. She might well recommend that
self righteous Commonwealth to set an ex-
ample in her own person, of obedience to the
laws, before affecting her righteous soul
about the lawlessness of others. rr@

JUDGE LORING.

TisuI Judge, urges Inc AoiAAniosA o'ion az
Washington to show its sense Of the manly
courage of Judge Loring, and the destructive
character of this legislative example, by pla-
cling him in position which will enable hon
est judges to know that for faithfulness in SER
vice. there are those who will reward, as well
as those who will punish.
The whole conservative press of the coun-
try will second that proposition with one
unanimous reclamation.
A NEW NoyEL.-Those of our readers
who have read the Virginia Comedians"
have no doubt hailed with delight, the an.
nouncement, in our advertising columns, of
new novel, by the author of production
which placed the writer, at a single bound,
among the first novelists of America. Few
who have read that charming book, so rich
and ripe with the flowers of genius and Gull
ture, would suppose it the production of
young gentleman in the spring time of life,
aud whose literary career had just been COM
menced. What may be expected of the fruits
of summer, whose spring opens with such
promise!
The title of the new novel is "Ellie, or the
Human Comedy" and the opinion is express
ed by competent judge, who has seen the
proof-sheets, that it surpasses the 'Virginia
Comedians" 1t is to be published by Mr. A.
Morris of Richmond, in one handsome 12mo
volume, beautifully illustrated with original
designs, by the accomplished Virginia artist,
Strother. The scene of the story is laid in
Richmond, and the author aim, as stated in
his preface, is to inculcate pure and elevated
principles, and high-toued morality-ato
paint life as is-men as they are-human
beings as they speak and act when moved by
those diverse and conflicting passions and
emotions which are the common inheritance
of humanity. The work is intended to coz.
tain types, so to speak, of human life; repre-
senting, each, different classes, and with an
underlying philosophy their careers, which
the author trusts is quite pure and genuine
in its presentation. The chief aim of the
story is to show the beauty and loneliness of
kindness in the influence of purity and self
that human nature can never
lose wholly the good impulses given it by
God" s
The author. who bids fair to achieve such
IN enviable fame in the world of letters, and
who Is consecrating bis splendid genius to the
most elevated purposes, is John Esten Cooke,
Esq, a young member of the Richmond bar.
