The bellicose demonstrations made by the
three big guns Of Abolition: Seward, Wilson
and Foote, appear to have had their effect upon
Southern politicians. When Seward grows
wrathful and furious, when Wilson threatens to
exterminate John Bull from the Continent, the
ocean, and the islands of the sea, and Foot APP
pIauds the bloody design, the Southern fire-eat-
ers hold their breath and are lost in wonders!
They Justly conclude that a screw is loose some
where. If the Black Republicans harbor such
bitter hate and mediate such murderous designs
against Great Britain, there is ssne little doubt
about the propri'ty and prudence OF Southern

ded sensibilities vindicated. Ordinary gentlemen
are easily appeased, and the disclaimer of any
intention to offend instantly aud amply atones
for the imagined insult. But not so with the
bully and blackguard; the more full and CON-
plete the apology, the more indignant he be-
comes, and the more pertinacious, exacting and
arrogant. So it is with our Newburyport At

protested against any intention Of violating our
laws, Caleb grows more and more wrathful, and
nothing but blood will sooth his rage His po-

him: and those of the South especially, always
ready for a row, seemed at one time, even more
eager for the fray than the wrathful dove in
Washington. But, to the astonsment Of all
men, Seward and Wilson slept forward and took
the quarrel upon their shoulders, and promised
to carry it much further than was ever dreamed
of by its original authors War at all points
