AwFUL.-The editor of the Jackson Missis-
sippian thus welcomes Senator Douglas to the
South:
covered with the odium of such detestable
heresies stained with the dishonor of a treach-
cry without parallel in the political history
of the country-fresh from the warm embraces
of Seward and Greeley and Giddings-this
man has dared to present himself in the South,
to look her honest sons and daughters in the
face, and to ask their hospitality. We would
not arouse the violent passions of men. We
would stay the ayenging rod of justice, rather
than the chivalry of the South should be tar
nished by single rash or unseemly act but
yet, if smarting under the keen sense of cruel
wrong-f goaded by the conviction of outra-
geous injustice-she were to welcome her be-
trayer with bloody hands to the hospitabe
grave to the gibbet or the faggot, there would
be strong array of irresistible facts in the
case to extenuate the act"
