Mere Work for Southern Chivalry.
A few southern journals, affecting an
exclusive refinement Of feeling or regard
tos the prophecies Of official intercourse,
unite with abolition papers in condemn
ing the cbastisement Inflicted upon Sum-
n.r BY the Hon. p. s. Brooks. We
have no patience with these neaIy-
mouthed Pharisees Of the press. Why
not speak out and declare at once that
YOU are shocked by the brutality Of
slave -ho lding ruffianF 1t is much m ore
manly to adopt the violent vocabulary Of
Of the Tribune, than to insinuate disap.
probation in the meek accents Of con-
science .smit.en saint.
In the main. the press Of the South
applaud the conduct Of Mr.. Brook: ),
withsu, condition Of limitation. Our ap-
preparation at least is entire and wholly
unreserved. We consider the act
good in conception, better in execution,
and best Of all in consequence. These
vulgar Abolitionists in the Senate are
getting above themselves. They have
been humored until they forget their po-
si,ior. They have grown saucy, and
dare TO be ,iInpudent to gentlemen. Now
they are a low, mean, scurvy set, with
some little boek.learning, bot as utterly
devoid Of spirit and honor as pack OF
ours. In.rench, d behind privilege
they fancy they can SANDER the South
and its representatives with impunity.
The truth is, they have been suffered
to run too long without collars. They
must be dashed into submission. Sum.
ner, in particular, ought to have nine
and thirty curly every morning. He is
a great s,rappiog fellow; and could stand
the cowh,de beautifully. Brooks fright.
ened him, and at the frs, blow of the
cane, he beloved like bu!l-calf.
There is the blackguard Wilson, an
ignorant Natick cobbler, staggering in
excess Of muscle, and absolutely dying
for beating. Will no, somebody take
him in hand Z Hale is another huge,
red-faced, sweating scoundrel, whom
some gentleman should kick and cuff
until he aoa.es something Of his impu.
dent talk.
These men were perpetually abusing
the people and representatives of the
South for tyrants, robbers, ruffians, adul.
terers, and wha, not Shall we stand il

House Of Representatives, under an in.

They are insensible to shame, and can
be brought to reason only by On appli-
cation Of cowhlde or gutta percha. Let
them once understand that or every vile
word spoken against the South, they will
suffer 50 many stripes, and they will sooa
learn 10 behaIe themselves, like decent
aogs-they can never be gentlemen.
Mr.. Brooks has initiated this salu,ary
discipline, and he deserves applause for
the bold. ludicious manner ia which he
chastissd the scamp Sumner. 1, was a
proper act, done at the proper time, and
in the proper place. OF all the places on
the earth, the Senate Chamber, the thea.
tire Of his vnuperous exploits, was the
very spo. where Sumner should have been
made 10 suffer for his violation of The
decencies of decorous debate, and for his
brutal denunciation of venera bic states

per that he should be stricken down and
beaten jus, beside the desk against winch

'erance through the Capitol.
Ii is idle 10 talk OF the sanctity Of the
Senate Chamber, since il is polluted by
the presence of such fellows as Wilson,
and Summer, and Wade. They have
desecrated it, and canno. now fly to it as
sanctuary from the lash Of vengeance.
We trust other gentlemen will fellow
the example of Mr.. Brooks, that so a
curb may be imposed upon the turbulence
and auaacity Of abolition speakers. II
