Falstaf from principle Well, this is just what we
expected of the valiant Senator as he belongs 10
class of boosters and potroons who would rather hire
such work done for them than do 1t themselves.
In plain English, the Massachusetts, Senator says,
" will go into the Senate and slander and abuse
and vlfy your character much as please. If
called 10 account, will plead my privilege as mem
Der of Congress. | am by law exempt from libel
suits and civil suits for SANDER and am opposed to

of Massachusetts will endorse Mr.. Wilson and ap-
prove bis conduct; but doubt If even they are so
degenerate and puslanimous as to counteoance such
excuses.
| From time mmemoral the language of Legislators
to the public has been, We cannot be annoyed and

In no instance heretofore has any member of Con-
gress refused or skulked has Senator Wilson, and
if he is sustain ed by his constituents, Massachusetts
! will have set up code and practice to the
whole civilized world--a code which says: We
will have no law to restrain from sIandering and
libe ling our fellow men as much as we please We
will call them liars, cOwards, debauchees, thieves,
pirates, and brigands, If choose, and law shall
prevent u.s." Our public men nay go to any extent;
women and children, old men with grey hairs. and
infants in the cradle, may be attacked and sandered
and they shall be called to account by husbands
fathers, nor brothers.
We shall see what the people Of the other States
say to this doctrine of spe ial privi ege Mean
time il will have the effect of proving TO the South
ern people that they have nothing to fear from the
Abolilionsts, for they won't fight either in Kansas
