THE LAWS OF HONOR A NEW CHAPTER


The recent publication of an accommodation be-
tween the Hon. w. M Gwin and Mr.. Wilson, and
the disclosure Of the facts that led to the difficulty
which was thus terminated, present us with
chapter in the laws OF honor. Mr.. Wilson is sen
ator from Massachusetts, where the practice Of du-
cling is generally condemned We acquit him and
the people of his State of oil completely in affairs of
the kind ; and we are prepared to admit the suhi-
cheney of the plea that, where the conscience
dennis such practices, an acceptance of challenge
to combat is not to be expected or refusal to be
condemned. But in such cases where exemption is
claimed under the law of conscience, it would seem
to be very clear that the rule should 80 far govern
individuals to prevent their giving just grounds of
offence to their fellow-citizens If in the case be-
fore us, for instance Mr.. Wilson had determined to
be governed by convictions Of duty and justice, and
to deny to Mr.. Gwin the arbtrament he demanded
we suggest that his conscientious scrupes should
have guided his course a. well before a. after his
violent and shameless attack upon the senator from
California Mr.. Wilson discourses Of relic Of a
barbaric age but his visions of morality and
civilization come after he had been guilty of a
barbarous personal attack upon one OF his colleagues
in the Senate. Mr.. Wilson's morality Is species OF
defensive weapon which he parades before the coun
try while his words of detraclinn and malice do
ing their work upon the ch,,. acter of the person
against whom they were uttered. If his conscience
really troubled him, would suppose that it's first
dictates would have compelled him to retract his
shameless and groundlsss slauder, and thus have
acted from the country approval of the motives
which governed his conduct Conscience is not a
thing to be put on like nightcap and taken of in
the morning II is not caprice, iuggle, or a con
yenent dispensation to govern the individual in sol
itude and he who invokes its twinges should pre-
sent clean record and divest himself Of all imputa
ton of using it az dodge to escape just responsible
ity. Duelling may be very wrong but there are
also other wrongs, and amongst these in moral guilt
we rank the conduct Of a man who will damage his
neighbours reputation and then, without retraction,
plead his conscientious convictions against render
ing him. az the latter shall determine the satsfac-
ton which is demanded of him. We deny the right

THE THIRTY FIFTH CONGRESS.

In many respects the first session of the Thirty
Fifth Congress has been one Of the most remarkable
sittings of that body. In both of it's branches
to be found men of distinguished talents and prom
Use but they have figured in the deliberations of
the session a. very superior star actors do when
cursed and encumbered with the aid Of miserable
stock company. The misfortune of the whole
sion has been that the of real talents have not
been acknowledged as leaders, and that true genius
has been embarrassed and obscured in general
pelmel scuie and olainor for notoriety and posi-
ton. Yet the talent Of the present Congress has
not been Of the highest grade nor has it developed
ITSELF in the instances in which it 10 possessed
the direction Of enlarged craftsmanship. In the
House we have Witnessed little Of the chaste elo
quence and profound constitutional learning Of
Lowndes, the ripe scholarship of Legare, the impe
GUS fervor aud biting satire of Randolph or the en-
cyclopedic versatility in letters and politics Of John
Quincy Adams. Though we have observed in the
Senate much power Of intellect aud versatility Of
talent yet there has been exhibited in that body
none Of the massive eloquence Of Webster the
