Read the article. II is one to GLADDEN. the
hearts of the oppressed people Of the South
II is precisely in the right line. II strikes al
the very root of dastardly and brutal system
that has been employed by the vicious plrty
in power 10 irritate the South and keep aIive
the rancors Of war, which is the very breath
of Radical life.

The trouble with Dir. Jphu Young Brown
il hat he did not know BIO s to be severe and
parliamentary at the same time, and in these
DAYS. when our legislative nils are tiled with
cbevalers of courtesy, any violation Of the
strict prophecies of debate is an intolerablc
offence. How great the difference is 'twiyt
tH eedle dunn and twee0le-dce will be seen by
A study of Mr.. Buffers speech and the ruling,
of the Speaker on points OF order, in cOmplri-
son with the speech Of Mr. Brown and the
action taken and attempted on that. Mr.
Brown was uuparliamenurl; but there are
not lew, even among those who hate the
political school in which he tas been trained,
who will more easily tolerate his lawless in
yective than General Buffers plrli tmentary
and protected ISLANDERS Of States, parties, and
peoples. That it is the deliberate purpose Of
General Butler and those who train in his
company to tauut and insult the South TO
The pitch Of evaporation and overt acts of
ret;aialion obscrvaut men ctn hardly doubt.
The danger is that the large body of Rep lb.
Iicans VINO sincerely desire peace and justice
will too long neglect 10 rebuke and repudi
ate the Internal policy Of provocation upon
which few of their INSCRIPTIONS leaders
are bent.
If their conduct should sting some Of the
more hot-kCadcd communities TO madness
the future historian, calmly reviewing these
times, would rightly blame US and not tnem.
If Brown, or Mclean, or any other bot
tempered southern mcuber had shot Butler
for his provoking Characterization Of their
constituents day or two ago, or his worse
insults Of yesterday, we believe i. would
have gladdened the hearts OF reckless fac
ton, who see no way to perpe'uile their
power except by kindling again the unrea-
soning passions Of war. The sectional spirit
will never re conquered by sweeping denun-
cations OF an intelligent population as "ban-
ditti," "murderers," and "assas.nS." Gen
eral Butler has done more within week TO
perpetuae strife aud rancor between the
sections ard the races than can be corrected
in generation without prompt aud decl-
sive Reputation Of him and lis allies.
Let the country bear IN mind that be is al
ready repudlated in Massachusetts,, and let
the southern people rest in the conviction
that this Commonwealth and the great ma
jority of the northern people have indicated
stroug dlsapproval ofall his clap. The North
wants peace and good government, and in this
res pect is of one mind With the South. What
is now doicg is the desperate throw OF po'
liticll gamblers struggling for another cbauce,
us revolving in mos. particulars TO our people
as to theirs. Their day OF power 10 do mis-
chief is nearly over. Patience, short pa
thence now, is the virtue they and we art
called upon to show. Tue North cannot b,
! led to 4 causeless war for white or black, by
any leader, whatever bis rank, his office, o.
! mis- lame.
