Brooks ABUSING FILEMoRE.-Mr. Brooks,
ofSouth Carolina, is n wonderful man, equal
If not superior to Moses. Moses with his
rod smote the rocks and made the water come
out of them, but Brooks smote Sumner and
made one hundred thousand Abolitonists!-
Well, this wholesale Abolitonist-manufac
turer, some time since, on his way from
Washington TO his home, stopped Mt Raleigh,
N. C., and upon being called out by his I'D
mirers, smote at Mr.. Fillmore, by declaring
that he was on level with Giddings. That
assertion settles the man. Let him tecline in
the embraces of that Democracy whose caase
in the North he has so wonderfully advanced
by making one hundred thousand Abolition
lists. He is so good sectional man, that an
angel standing on the other side of Mason
and Dixon's line advocating nationa! princi.
pies, would in his eyes look like huge co.
lossus of war, bristing with swords, daggers,
dirks, bowie-knives, and Colts repeaters.--
