JAROLINA SPARTAN. 1SIU UFSNUCH, ruts*, All) BELIGIOY Liberty is only desirflbl? so long as it is -ojoyed without abuse. It is the highest videuco of the morality, piety, intelligence ud general well being of peopled end of *adividuaU that they requiro but little legal estrnint. The continual enjoyment of naionni and individual liberty is the noblest >f distinctions and greatest of blessings, boiiuse such continued enjoyment can only proceed from the habitual exercise of every rirtuo. Dtit, whilst to such peoples and m>. dividual*, liberty is a good, it is an uiiniiti. jrated evil to the vicious, who use th'.'ir juivileg'-* to injure tncinsclves, and to annoy and disturb society. DesjHJtism of M.>?ne sort is just as necessary for this latter >-Lii .1 ;u> for madmen, thieves and murderors. IV* Northern Abolitionists do not let aduy pa.- without showing to the world that they i" 4 ai, as little fitted to be trusted with liberty thieves with keys, or children with firoa n?s. Their daily abuses of liberty of eoch and of tho proes, and of freedom of tigion, are but the means which they ha tuuuiy euijMoy lur greater mischief and limo. The disgusting proceedings of their ueU, women Hud negroes, in their infidel, grarian nnd licentious conventions, the imrchical and destructive doctrines emaiiai *?g from their press, nnd their Iceture ooms, and the uufetninino bearing of their women, would justify and require au immediate despotic censorship, if it were possible tc iflke away their liberties without invading those of other people. A community of Abolitionists could only be governed by a penitentiary system. They are as unlit for liberty as maniacs, criminals or wild Leasts. The worst aspect of their case is, that they arc endangering the liberties of the people. Just such conduct as theirs induced the despotbm of Cromwell aud the two Bonnpartes, and of all other usurpers who have destroyed their country's liberty. AH men prefer despotism to anarchy, the rule of a singlo man to tho mad riot and misrule of infidels, criminals and agrarians. These men complain that liberty of speech has been violated in tho poison of Mr. Sumner. This is hut tho beginning of the end. They will soon destroy all liberty of speech, if they employ it only to teach heresy, in fidelity, licentiousness, and to stir up to deeds of violence. Belter, far better, that man were without the gi*l of speech, than to use it as they do. better that he could neither read nor write, than have his head and heart perverted, by the foul and filthy stuff that oozes from the abolition press. Better that his religion were prescribed l>y a priest and enforced by an inquisition, than that he should become an habitue of trieoloy's philanstciics, of Andrews'gorgeous sa loons of Free Love, of Mormon dwellings or of Oneida dens. Better that tho cut of his coat nnd the number of his buttons were fixed by statute nnd enforced by penalties, than that women should defy public opinion and parade tho streets in unfomiuine apparel. The liberties of America are safe so long as they are not abused. They aro not worth preserving when abuse becomes general. If tho noxious heresy of abolition and its kindred isms aro trot arrested: if a Balulary reaction does not take place, ere long, even good men, religious men and patriots, would prefer the quiet of despotism, to the discord, tho licentiousness, the an arcny and the crime, which those men practice and invoke. Yet we neither fear nor tremble for the futuic. Those wretches are more noisy than auiueioux The edifice of American liberty, the most glorious structure of freedom the world has ever seen,ds not destined to be sapped and undermined by pismires, nor carried by the ast.vihs of crazy lilliputian These creatures will be aooii driven from their places, and 1 .laired into obscurity by an indignant poo pie, whose confidence tbey have betrayed and abused. All the elections at the North loi* the last twelvo months show that the storm is gathering that is to sweep those noxious insects from the hearts of men nnd the face of day.?Richmond Enquirtr. NORTHERS CHIVALRY. Tf anybody wants to furnish himself with a correct conception of the chivalry of the V^.il -l t . . ..viiuviii uiamcivr, no tins nu: to study lliC history of the campaign in Kansas. There was nothing excowtiomri or abuormnl in the original colonization uf that territory. Tco j?lo settled in it from the ordinary motives of lovo of gain or thirst of adventure: and if tilings luul l??en left to themselves, llio territory would liave grown to the proportions of a State without the least violence of development. But the Abolitionists le j solved that they would appropriate it to their own use, and that tho South should ! t e excluded from its soil and from any in rluenec in the development of its institutions. To that end, thoy set a v.*ut system of ma- 1 chin cry in motion; they organized societies j with all the formalities and privileges of corporate bodies; tlioy subscribed money, they contributed weapons, they enlisted j men, and to the movement they imparted the impulse of a politico-religious enthusi- ! asm. Under the stimulus of such extrnor * dinary elforts the North very soon acquired a preponderance of numbers and physical power in the territory. Then they grow insufferably -insolent. Then they began to bully and browbeat Southern people, and to talk of fight and Sliarpo's rifles. Such insults roused the resentments of Southern settlers. Abandoning their peaceful pursuits, they armed themsolvcs, and prepared 1 .1- - - ... iu repei crie assaults with which they were threatened. From the same instinct which ! keeps a flock of sheo.p together in tho pre fence of danger, the Abolitionist* nil con centrated upon a single point. Tliev rnl- I lied in i^ecompton: they laid in a supply of' arms and ammunition; they erected fortifi cations, and they organized themselves for a desperate resistance. They wore all guilty of treason against the government; but they vowed they would not submit to arrest and trial. Moan while tho (Jovernor inroked the assistance of all good citizens in sup pressing rebellion. 1'ho Southerners ral- , lied to the call; and tho Abolitionists gave | out that they worn resolved on a desperate resistance. An intense anxiety pervaded the country; everybody oxpectod a bloody battle in Kansas. Tho law and-order men inarched to I.ecomptou to arrest tho traitors, and the Abolitionists scampered like sheep at their approach! Kobinson ran; Keedor tied in tho disguise of a woman's petticoats, and tho wholo army dispersed at the first | sight of a Southern gentleman. The peddlers and paupers from New England cs c.apod with tho colority of fugitive pickpockets; and Kansas is now in complete possession of the friends of the South. This is Northern chivalry!?

The first is, that since the ponce was concluded the Anglo-French alliance has virtually ceasod with it. Tho 6ocond, and by far the most important point is, that both France and England are at prosent desirous of putting off a war with this country. They do sire that it inuy be postponed until disttn ion shall have made such headway among us thai they may have but little to dread. A war with England or France, even now, would quench, certainly for a liiuc, the flames of discord, unite the North and tho South, and restore political harmony. Neither Franco i or England desire to see this, and they naturally wish to roc a war poet' potied until our ridiculous strife on tho slave question has set us all by the cars. Then Louis Napoleon will let us hear from him. Till then ho commends pence with the United Slates.?Phila. Bulletin. Mu. CllA Ml ION AND TUIC DlSMIftdKO CONSULS.?

Sir: 1 lure eecc in the public journals this ru.rg the report of the committee of the Senate, whom was referred a resolution of the Senate tcling an inquiry into an assault mad# by ine a tho SVd iost. on a Senator from Massachusetts. It is with vnfeigned regret I find ia the report it what I hrvf intended only (u a redress of a -soual wrong had been construed into, or most H MMsarily b* held as, a breach of privileges of the S nalc. Whilst making a fal< and explicit dia- N inier of any snch design or purpose, I ssk lease ^ say that for the occasion, consideriug myself ly as a gentleman in society. and under no official itnint ns a member of Uie Ho we of Reprcseutats, 1 did not adrert to or consider there wwtny crtintive restraint imposed upon me by rrasnsi at the cflence crime from a membc r of 'he HenI had read attentively ami carefully the speech livered in the Senate, on the IQth and 20th it-, by the Senator (mm MaasaobosrUa, and ind therein language which 1 regarded as nortly ?rf!-c''sg, not cu'y upon the histety mm tractor of Sooth Carolina, but also upon a friend id relative. To such language I thought 1 had a right to ke exception und? r the circuma(in?ff. Tlie Seaor Irom South Cm oliiiw shn wo ese remark* being gUmt from the Senate and a citj, I had reason to believe that the Seaator >in Miueachuevtta did not acknowledge that pernal n-apotia.bdily from w rong in personal deportrut w hich would hare anted me the painful os ity of the collision which I sought, and in my dginont, therefore, I had no alternative but to aet I did. That the asanolt waamade in the Senate 1aml>er wiu eauaed only by the fact that after a reful search elsew here on the prt-viooa aa well a* the aaiue day, the offender could not be found uidc the walls of the Senate Chamber, and the nate had adjourned for more than an liour pre>ue to the assault. 1 Kubmtt the foregoing statement from the high ipect I hate far the Senate of lite United States, d ask that it may be r-eeived as a fuH disclaimer nnv design or purpose to infract ita privileges or oftend iu dignity. i cheerfully add, that dmald t fact* as reported by the committee of llie Sen be nc vert I ideas nices-arily consi Jer. d aa a Delusion of law. tnv nront wish is to ati-no (or ts far na mat be by this unhesitating and unqualrd apology.
