SOUTHERN COURTESY.

There are many people at the North who yet
believe that the South is peculiarly the home of
the graces, that Southern gentlemen are dis
tinguished for their courtesy and chivalric be-
haviour upon all occasions. The Sumner trag-
edy startled some of this class from their igno-
rance. We have another specimen of Southern
gentility worth looking at, and which illustrates
as well the spirit of Slavery as the style of gen.
tility popular in the South. We quote from
the editorial columns of the Richmond South the
following sketch of certain members of the
United States Senate. 1t ia from their honored
Washington correspondent:
A stolid indifference to the outsiders, or a
masked conceit, sits on the countenance OF
honorable Senators. Judge Douglas seems too
busy tumblng about, re-pulling, and 6dgeting
on the Kansas question, to have an eye for any
thing else, or even to admit in his mind an un
political thought for q moment. Then the next
distinguished Senator who is pointed out to you
Mr.. Hunter, is the very picture of Virginian-
plain, solid, slow, with an appearance of care
lessness that would never lead one to suspect in
him the gifts of one of the most extraordinary
minds in the country. But one figure head in
the Chamber arrests attention In the picture we
have here OF the plain-ooking, substantial, bet
ter order of American politicians. 1t is that OF
a large, tall Senator, who sits near the main
entrance. His posture is one of the most in
| imitable conceit, with his head raised, his eyes
elevated, and resting on a pleasant vacancy
his body turned superciliously away from the
neighboring Senators, and without even the
least sign of attention to betray his considera
ton for anything that is passing around him
This huge coxcomb, with his hair 80 tenderly
parted, and his big, white hand so constantly
stroking himself, still smiling and talking to the
licksPittles that surround him, is that pam rec
Remarked hound, Charles Sumner An appli
cation to the hide would take out the lofty air,
of martyrdom he affects it would purge tn,
conceit Immediately. 1t is fair bet for an,
one to take, that at the first stroke of the lash
the hound would take refuge under his desk
and lay there yelping for mercy"

NOT so.

The Washington correspondent of the st.
Louis Democrat says:
1t is also worthy of remark that the oppo-
sition Senators voted not for Mr.. Bailey, editor
of the Era, but for G.. M. Weston, editor of the
Republic. This discrimination between Free
Soil journal and radical Anti Slavery one-a
discrimination previously made in the House of
Representatives. no equivocal indication of
the position OF the Republican party upon the
Slavery question. 1t shows that thew desire
merely to limit the institution, geographically
and politically, to its legitimate sphere-to re-
store the relations between it and the Federal
Government, which subsisted from the re-enact-
ment OF the Jefferson Ordinance to the close of
President Folks administration. That ordi-
nance is the well-head of Free Soil opinions
the great charter of the Republican party and
not even decision of the Supreme Court can
make that charter a dead letter, or seal that
fountain of living waters"
This writer is all wrong in two particulars.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1853.
THE NATIONAL ERA

Enters this week upon its Twelfth Volume.
Twelve years ago, the Principles it has so long
advocated had but one representative in the
House, none in the Senate. Now, they are
sustained by one of the two great Parties of the
country, and count by scores their advocates
in both Houses.
With such an evidence of the growth OF
sound Principles, we shall rejoice, whatever
the prospects of the Era. Hard times cannot
prevent the triumphs of Truth, although they
may affect the interests of its supporters.
To our friends who have stood by the Era in
this long struggle, We tender our cordial thanks.
They have not done all that they wished, or
that could be done, for the prosperity OF the
paper, but they have done more than we anti
cipated, or had any right to ask of them.
Never before have we been made to feel how
strong is their attachment to the Era, how
deep rooted and intelligent their appreciation
of the cause of which it is supporter.
May we not hope that, as the times shall
grow more suspicious, and labor find employ
ment and reward, many of those who have been
constrained to part with US, may find it conve-
nient to renew their connection?

Our WITH HM-The Richmond South thus
concludes an editorial upon " Walker, Stanton,
and Douglas i"
"Walker was admonished by the example Of
Stanton; and as his Secretary was unceremO.
niously dismissed, he had reason to apprehend
the same punishment for himself. Stanton
was superseded because of his resistance to the
policy of the Administration. Walker resigned
for that reason. The point of conflict between
them and the President was the same they re-
fused to sustain the action of the LecomptOn
Convention, and for that cause alone were
thought unworthy the confidence of the Admin.
istration. Now, Senator Douglas occupies
precisely the same position. he, too, refuses
to sustain the action of the Lecompton Conven.
ton. BE, too, has thrown himself in the path
of the Presidents policy, and opposes it with
infinitely more power than Walker and Stanton
can exert in combination. Why, then, we de-
mand, is Douglas allowed to remain in the
Democratic organization, when inferior offend
ers are expelled in disgrace? Will some or
gan answer the inquiry?"
The Washington correspondent of the same
journal abuses Mr.. Douglas in the same vein
that he is wont to abuse Messrs. Sumner and
Giddings. 1t is, perhaps, we'll enough for Mr.
Douglas to see what gentlemen, as we'll as ty
rants, Slavery breeds.

CONGRESS

After its holyday recess, Congress met last
Monday, and the session was marked by the in
PRODUCTION of many resolutions and bills of i'm
portance. The members appear to be in
earnest. What with Kansas, Utah, Central
America, Fifibustering, Cuba, disorganized
Democracy, and an empty Treasury, they have
plenty of work before them.

sas affairs. A gentleman h5d just brought IN
some three hundred names of citizens OF Gin
cinnati, and she proceeded at once to direct
each a copy of her husbands speech, while
Mr. Douglas added his frank. Those who re-
ceive the speeches will therefore have specl-
men of the chirogrsphy of Mr.. and Mrs. Doug

THE INDIANA SENATORS AND MIR. DOUGLAS.

A correspondent of the New York Herald
makes much of the speech of DR.. Fitch, of In.
diana, on the Kansas Question, and is sure
that the position of both the Senators from that
State took Douglas by surprise. The Illinois
Senator understands the material of the Senate
too we'll to be surprised at such demonstrations.
Had he been disposed to notice the charge of
inconsistency brought against him by DR.. Fitch,
he could have retorted with tremendous force.
We we'll recollect the time when the Doctor
was a most valorous and devoted Anti Slavery
man, with zeal almost Quixotic. When a
candidate the first time in his district for Con.
gress, he wrote a letter, which was printed in
the newspapers, in which he went so far as to
pledge himself that, if elected to Congress,
should no one bring in bill to abolish Slavery
in the District of Columbia, he would. But,
we suppose the maxim with Shareholders is,
the greater the sinner, the greater the saint.
We need hardly say that neither of these
gentlemen from Indiana, occupying seat as
Senator, has been elected by the Legislature OF
that State. Their case, substantially like that
of Mr.. Harlan, Of Illinois, who was excluded
from the Senate, all the Democratic members
except three voting against him, is before the
Judiciary Committee, and the result will be
precisely the same, unless the Administration
majority turn round against themselves, and,
for the sake Of securing support to the Lecomp.
ton usurpaton, trample upon their own prece.
dent, and sanction gross violation of the Fed.

tors did not vote for Mr. Weston with any in
tentlon OF being understood as discriminating
against DIR. Bailey. The former is q true man,
ard makes good editor, and we wish his paper
all success; but The latter has been for years In
the very breach of danger, and has done as
much, II not more, to create q sound public
sentiment on the Slavery question, as any
man In the country. The discrimination hint
ed at would be invidious, unjust, and possibly
fatal.
Nor is it the object of the Republican party
to restore the relations between Slavery and
the Federal Government, which subsisted from
the enactment of the Jefferson Ordinance to the
close of President Folks administration" No
such thing. Its object is defined in the Phila-
delphia Platform, and is the overthrow of the
Slave Power, the standardization of Slavery
the array of the whole constitutional and legiti-
mate influence of the National Government on
the side of Freedom. The policy of the Federal
Government from the re-enactment of the Ordi-
nance BY the first Congress to the close of
Folks Administration, and to the present time
has been more and more the reverse of this.
The mission of the Republican party is to re-
verse the reversal-Ohio Journal.
We are under obligations to the Ohio State
Journal for its friendly words in our behalf, and
the Republican members of Congress will, we
are sure, justify its vindication of them and
their cause.
Had the Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Democrat been as well informed as q
longer experience here will undoubtedly render
him, he would have known that Mr. Bailey long
since took the ground in his paper, that the
Printing of Congress ought to be separated
from the newspaper press-that the position of
Public Printer was one which ought not to be
held by an Editor-that the independence of
Editors, and the purity of Congress, would be
best consulted by each occupying towards the
other perfectly independent attitude; that, no
matter whether these views were accepted by
others or not, they were our fixed convictions,
and would guide our own course; that we would
not become candidate for the Printing of
Congress, or any other patronage in its gift,
or accept of it, if offered. This was our posi-
ton in public and private, and our friends in
Congress, when apprised of it, have SO far re-
spected it, as to save US from the annoyance of
having our name offered as the candidate for
party favors.
We make no pretensions to superior virtue,
nor would we discredit anybody else. Our
friend of the Republic is an estimable man, and,
80 long as Congress shall continue to elect its
Printer, we should be glad to see Just such men
selected. If he concurred with us in our views
ofthe relations of the political press to Congress
his position, we doubt not, would be the same

By the way, this reminds us of an act of Jus.

pendent of New York Journal speaking Of
the Stars advocacy of Slavery, says, its editor
was raised in Massachusetts,, and was "once
content to be a contributor to the columns of

in behalf of that editors consistency. He ia
