Fools AND FoLLY-DuELLING.-We publish a
correspondence between Hon. Mr. Burlmgame, Of
Massachusetts, and Col Brooks, of South Carolina
which, to us, as Northern men, cannot but be NOR
tifying
Mr.. Burlingamc made, our readers know, fiery
anti Southern specct,-ve,y well for Bunkum,
though Of no practical use whatever,-and it was
given out that he would fight over what he said.
The South Carolina Brooks took him at the word
and substantially challenged him. Under advice of
Mr. Speaker Banks, Mr.. Burlingame substantially
recognized Mr.. Brooks a gentleman, though he
had beaten his colleague Sumner in very mean
way,-and took out all the sting of his speech, to
the complete satisfaction. of the Gamer of Sumner.
Burlingame then-goadcd and sneered at by his
own Abolition people, because OF his own I" DIRT
eating,"-like fool, Withdrew his apology-made
for him by Speaker Banks, and invited fight
Brooks challenged him. Burngame, like fool
again. accepted the challenge in the very face of all
New England sentiment against duelling, and Ike
a bigger fool, lodged the responsibility OF real
fight by naming Canada az the ARENA though there

bling him en- route through Ohio, or New York to
Canada, and is well advised by Gen. Lane, of Ore

publish the correspondence.

crow over this matter,-we suggest,-that there is
something in the very nature of Sectional Aboli-
tionism, that humans man. 1t is disease that
takes all real spirit out of the victim of it. Ibyeass
the spinal column and corrupt the schoe backbone
Hence Burlingame is no true specimen Of the 15an
about Bunker Hill, Concord, or Lexington. No true
Massachusetts man will fight, or offer to fight
duel-for the whole sentiment Of the State rises
in Christian indignation against the barbaric and
brutal custom. but every true Massachusetts man

HE DIFFICULTY AT THE METROPOLITAN HOTEL--
Mr. Wick was all intimate personal friend Hon.
Preston s. Brooks, and was engaged i'll political
conversation with casual acquaintance, whose
name MIR. V. does not know, when the gentleman
with whom he convers.hg spoke of the ll"n.
Mr.. Brooks a coward and u scoundrel. MIR. '.
requested him Withdraw the charge, at least in his
presence, for Mr. Brooks was his personal friend;
he knew HIM not to be q coward, and ne had proved
himself to be- man of courage ON more occasions
than
The gentleman objected to Withdrawing his
charge when Mr.. V. remarked, cursing hun, that
he held him personally responsible and handed him
his card. This censor m0run, learned on matters Of
courage and honor, replied that he not accus.
toned to the mode OF settling their difficulty sng-
gested by Mr. Wick, that he not fighting man,
&c. Then it was that Mr.. jacob Stanwood, his
friend, who standing 10y with an assumption OF
courage and determination, which Threatened damage,
said he fighting man, and assumed ali the re-
sponsbility of all his friend had said; whcreupon
he received what he richly deserved Gaming well laid
on, to which he offered such resistance as lie could.
Mr. Stanwood was much more powerful man than
Mr. WICK taller and stouter; and the report that his
friend, for whom he fought, absent at the time
of the assault, is entirely false, for he was present,
and when Stanwood called for help, he went to the
rescue, but was drawn off by stranger, who had
more regard to ordinary fairness than seems to have
been possessed by Mr.. Stanwood and his friend
The name of Ell. q. Haywood, Esq, son of the late
Senator Haywood, Of N. e., has been coupled with
this affair. His only connection with it was as the
counsel and legal we'll friendly adviser of Mr..
Wick, whose course he fully endorses. Especially
does Mr. II. feel bound to stand by friend Who was
unjlstly imprisoned after midnight without warrant
or fiat Of Judge or Justice, for an offence which
would have caused not moments Inconvenience
to Northern man. Stanwood has instituted pro-
cecdings against Mr.. V'ck' for damages. and Mr.. "
has given the necessary bail, and will, doubt,
exhibit Mr.. s. in no enviable light at the trial.
