Insolsnes Of tic Abolitionists.

III 3H -. 7 - NJ s
l. The habitual insolence of the Abo-
| litionistsin Washington, imposes up
ON the Representatives of the South
1.-THE necessity either of shameful sub
mission to insult and obloquy, or Of
Asome appropriate and adequate re-
dress of their grievances. To retail
ate in kind words would be abhorrent
Ito all the manly instincts Of Southern
gentlemen, and would besides soon
convert Congress into a brothel or a
Ibe ar garden, where the antagonism
fof opposing parties would be reduced
Ito a contes st of filthy vituperation. ~
The Abolitionist recognizes, no res
POI visibility on the field Of honor, for
wo rds of wanton or deliberate denun-
citation. What recourse, then, has
the Southern gentlemen? If lie has
not been abused in his own person,
his State and his country have been
traduced, and all the finer feelings Of
his heart trampled upon by a beast OF
an abolitionist. To endure such in
dignities would imply an absence Of
that sensibility:to insult and Of that
fearless impulsE 6F Resentment, which
constitute the chiyalry Of theSouthern
character. The obligation to ayenge
any personal affront or libel upon
This State, is as keenly felt 81 the
Southern gentlemen, az the duty 81
repelling the assault Of a public enc
Imv. This pride of pers onal inriola-
bilitv, and this perfect readiness To
con front death in vindication Of his
honor, ,impart to the character Of the
Southern gentleman the dignity and
| efficacy of sentiment which distin-
gui sh it from the habitual disposition
/ of any other community. With pas.
.Sions infamel and pride hunaliated
!by an iItoIerable insult, by what
mode of redress can. He satisfy his
wot 1ndeI sensibility, except BY tho
kinh LECTION of per sonal chastisement Oh
his adversary
/ There may be some persons who
icon test the necessity Of such violence
Of resentment on the part of the Sou
the I'm representatives, Oh the ground
Of want Of adequate provocation.-
Thi 5 objection implies an utter igno-
ran ce of the habitual tone and temper
Of abolition speakers. The vile and
Zero cious passions of their vulgar
ICON tituency, find full ntterance on
the floor Of Congress. If anybody
wants an illustration of the charac.
teri site sentiment and speech Of the
abolitionists, let him turn to another
column of this ) paper and read the
proceedings of a recent anti slavery
Convention in Boston. T When Geo.
