A Good Moral Lesson.

An intelligent gen leman. just from
Washington, informs the Chicago Press
and Tribune that he was favored with the
company of a considerable squad Of Doug
las blowers and strikers, fresh from
Charleston, who. their money having ben
all spent for that which was not bread,
were en- route for their homrs ia various
parts OF The North West He says he never
heard SO much hearty profanity issue from
the same number OF swearers in given
time. during the whole term of his exist
ence. Stopping at various stations on the
Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad. they got out
of the cars and cursed the South with all
the osths in the dictionary. At Harper's
Ferry they ell seemed to smell blood Sim
ultaneously, for they stepped cut upon the
platform Of the railroad station and gave
vent to the most hideous blasphemy ever
heard in the Old Dominion. A tall man.
hailing from Chicago; made himself verv
conspicuous in the heavy business. He
cursed all the slave States separately and
by name, and he damned them together in
a lump He consigned Old Buck to perdi
ton. and polished off the whole catalogue
of Southern Senators. Representatives.
Delegates and politicians with birthstone
phraseology, Of which be seemed to have
more than tropical Profusion at his
tongues end. 1t was seriously appreben-
ded BY persons in the train that he would
be arrested before he should get well out
ofvirgiris. and locked up on suspicion of
being confederate Of Old Brown.
On Inquiry the informant of the Press
and Tribune learned that the exc tied gen
tleman had not been we'll treated at
Charleston. Added to the natural grief
which attended the failure Of their cham
pion in the Convection. it appeared that
the cbivalry Of South CarolIns. Alabama,
Louisiana, &C.. had taken all occasions TO
snub their brethren from the North West
They had behaved tow ards them as though
the latter were body servants. fit only to
clean massa's boots nd accept his cuffs
spd kicks in part payment. They spoke
of Douglas "a common BLACKBOARD whom
nobody could vote for without forfeiiing
his self-respect. OF course they could only
regard Mr.. Douglas supporters as his sub
slterns IN blackguardism. his liestenanis
in vulgarity. So regarding them they took
pains to let them into tho secret They
sought opportunities to hin. that they cor
sidrrcd them scurvy fellows-mud stills
unworthy to sit at the same table with my
lord. Hence these tears. Hence this lux
uriance Of profane language which sur
prised common people along the line OF
the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad.
We trust he persons who took in this
great moral lr.snn at Charleston. will not
be stingy OF the good thlngs they bring
home Let them tell il out loud, in the
newspapers. on the street corners, and
wherever two or three are gathered to
gcth,r They will feel all the hotter for
freeing their minds. and they may uncon-
seionsly ba'ten the day which shall teach
South Carolina aud Alabama what they
are aud where they kelong.

T To day the Constitutional Union

Under the present disintegratiou of the

sition 10 the coming campaign. IL the
