In the man, the press of the South applaud the
conduct of Mr.. Brooks, without condition or lin.-
aation Our appreciation, at least, is entire and IN
reserved. We consider the act good in conception,
better in execution, and best Of all In consequence.
These vulgar abotionsts in the Senate are getting
above Themselves They have been humored until
they forget their position. They have grown saucy,
and dare TO be impudent 20 gentlemen! Now, they
are low, mean scurvy SET with some little book
learning but as utterly devoid OF spirit honor
q pack Of ours. Intrenched beh nd privilege
they fancy they can SANDER the South and insult It's
representatives with impunity. The truth is, they
have been suffered TO run too long without collars
They must be lashed into submission Sumner, IN
particular, ought 20 have nine and thirty early every
morning. He is great strapping fellow and could
stand the eowhde beautifully. Brooks frightened
him, and at the first blow OF the cane he beloved
like bull calf. There is the BLACKBOARD Wilson,
an ignorant Natick cobbler, staggering IN excess
Of muscle, ana absolutely dying for beating. Will
not somebody take him in handY Hale IS another
slemaR should kick and cuff until he abates some
thing OF his impudent talk. These men are per-
petually abusing the people and representa-
fves OF the South, for tyrants, robbers, rUttans,
adulterers and what not Shall we stand il Can
gentlemen sit still in the Senate and House OF Re-
representatives., under an incessant stream Of denun-
citation from wretches who avail themselves Of the
privilege OF place to indulge their devish passions
with mpunity2 In the absence of an adequate law,
Southern gentlemen must protect their own honor
and feelings. IL is an idle mOckery 10 challenge
one Of these scullions. II is equally useless to at
tempt 10 disgrace them. They are insensibe to
shame, and can be brought to reason only by an
once understand that for every vile word spoken
against the South they win suffer many stripes,
and they will soon learn 20 behave themselves like
decent dogs-they can never be gentlemen. Mr..
Brooks hes initiated this sautary discipline, and he
deserves applause for the bold judcious manner in
which he chastised the scamp Sumner. Ii was
proper act, done at the proper time and in the
proper place.
or all Ices on earth the Senate Chamber, the
theatre OF h.s yituperatve exploits was the very
spot where Sumner should have been made to suffer
for his violation of the decencies Of decorous debate
and for his brutal denunciation of venerable
statesman. 1t literally and entirely proper that
be should be stricken down and beaten Just beside
the desk against which he leaned as he Illuminated
his filthy utterances through the Capitol. 1t is idle
to talk of the sanctty of the Senate Chamber since
u is polluted by the presence of such fellows as
Wilson and Sumner and Wade. They have desecra-
ted il, and cannot now fly to it as to a sanctuary
Rom the lash Of vengeance.
We trust other gentlemen will follow the exam
PIE OF Mr.. Brooks, that so a curb may be imposed
upon the turbulence and audacty Of abolition speak
ers II need be- let us have Gaming or cowhiding
every day. 1.-THE worse come to the worse, so much
the sooner so much the better.
