The Louisville Journal has spoken brave
ly and manlike of the Sumner outrage, and
administered telling and terrible rebukes to
the rutian-spirited men who uphold and APP
plaud he conduct Of the bastard Brooks
The following is the conclusion Of IN article
upon the affair, in which some homely truths
concerning the arrogant Palmetto State are
told in unadorned BIZ. trenchant English
The facts assumed are facts indeed. Nothing
! is truer to-day than that in South Carolina
the rights of the poor are the fewest possible,
and the rich are the lords OF the land. a
naughty and dominecring aristocracy that
years ago, in ssthe times that tried mems
souls," she abounded in Tories and enemies
of independence and Of Union, as she does
to-day, and that among that poor, prescribed
class, class still prescribed and oppressed
with more persistence than ever, the men of
Marion and their compatriots in common life,

blood was found. Blu, hear the Journal:

clearly seen in the history of our country.
itat It Is surprising that any body out OF
South Carolina should pronounce it lbellous
or be so shameless as to attack Sumner (by
way OF making q sneaking justification Of
brooks) for ainging the hard fact in the teeth
OF clustering DULLES who truly represent in
Congress that pestilent State, which, with alb
surd insoence and vanity, claims to be the
State-par ercellenrs, the commonwealth Of
the continent.
The honors ascribed to South Carolinians
ior bravery IN the Revolution, by Webster,
ana the common consent Of mankind, belong
not TO the shareholders, but to the sspoor
white trash,' SO despised then and now, by
their iordly neighNors. The Olicarchy OF
