Now the elegant and graceful Davis,
; Yields a trencbant and glittering blade of
;pyectire. With incissive thrust be pune
lures the infegument of Elusive schemes
for peace and Union, penetrating the very
marrow of hopes and desires, and sweeps
with swift gestulation the clouded horizon
of politics, warning with electrifying por-
tent the mariners of the good Ship of
State 10 prepare for the inevitable storm.
Brown follows in fell spirit, %darkening
the gathering gloom with deprecatory and
forbodiug eloqunce, and Kissing with lily
suppressed vehemence, the intensity of bis
pent-up wrath.
The difference in denunciation and SIAN
der, is precisely in proportion to the distinc-
aions between the characters of men,
Davis, with choice and polished rhetoric;
Brown, with dignity of demeanor and ex-
preston; I~verson, with the i~nsensate wrath
of an impotent demon; and Wigfall, with
the gross hate Of ~mediocrity, are the out
lines and pr~edominating coIoring of a
painting completed by the subordinate
fury of the secession masses. So through
The columns of the newspapers, the baleful
hate of your Cobb, your Toombs, and 9TH
er secession heralds, CLEANS with fierce
heat upon the steady but yet placable
North.
STATESMEN.
This crisis seems TO have quickened our
Northern Senators and Representatives in-
to statesmen. The calm intrepidity with
which they meet the most aggravating
provocation is admirable. You can see
them, as they sit in their Legislative halls,
close ranks to receive an assault. That
indescribable expression of the %counten-
ance, as man looks like man full in the
eye, translating from one to another iden-
teal impressions, indicates to the close OBJ
server how firmly they are terrifying
their minds. 1t sensibly affects their
naughty and i~nsolent assailants, who de-
mand with agonizing but bitter wrath,
does not the North speakf We
come to insult and provoke you; why do
you not resistg" And then they whirl
away 10 a frey of passion, shouting wrath
fully, "What hope of concession from
such as these! They do not cower!!'-
Yet the North remains calm-masterly
inactive-holding out the olive branch
now asking iOr uHhs vi P"'ie"i'i' OI
protesting their readiness to yield every
thing but principle for the sake of union
and harmony. But still the South storms
-"You have executed the Fugitive Slave
law! Your personal liberty bills are non
Your John Brown raids are excep-
and not the cause of secession J
The election of LincnlA is inconsequental?
Bur you don't lore us-tbere is no love
Still the North, imperlurbable,
courteously asks, "What do you require y"
and the South, springing wildly to the
floor, howIs with demoniac energy through
with sharp inclsiveness from Davis,
menace through Brown, and rave
sehemence from Wigfall, ave demand a
slave code and utter subordination ofNorth-
ern principle to Southern prejudice and
s~laveholding interests. If we receive not
lhese and more, these marble walls shall
the babitation of bats and owls,
and this fair fabric of fraternal States shall
De shattered into thirty three fragments! J"
