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!? Richmond Enquirer, i

^Vuiong the oddest odds ?!<d ends of diplomatic
intelligence brov^ht by the Inst
steamer, is one to the effect that the French
government had recently addressed a very
energetic, if not commanding, note to tho
'Danish government, insisting that the latter
allow a compliant and ready spirit in
settling its difficulties; the Object being to
hinder a conflict with North America. This
is represented as a direct effort ou the part
of Louis Napoleon to weaken the great reliance
of Denrnaik oh England.
There can be no question that Franco
has, by dint of sheer pushing, contrived to
i gain a very decided foothold in Denmark,
and that she was first and loudest in assuring
Denmark of her support in tho matter.
French papers have abused America far
iuoio than the English have d>ne for our
interference in established European maritime
customs, and the above statcmeut relative
to the note would seem extraordinary
did we not remember two things. 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

Mu. CllA Ml ION AND TUIC DlSMIftdKO CONSULS.?
It is said that Mr. Crainpton will
: proceed to Europe in the steamer which
, sails from Boston to-day, accompanied by
| Consuls Barclay, llowcrofl and Mathews,
i The Toronto Globe, on the ooutrary, states |
] that Mr. Crnmptoa is to await tho or- j
I ders of his government in that city, and ,
j adds: "any idea that war will grow out of i
his dismissal can only be entertaioed to bo j
ridiculed.'' The Albion, the British organ, i
published in New York, also expresses the j
opinion that the di-missal of Mr. Ciauipton
1 will not lead to any unfriendly feeling l>e,
tween the United Slates and England. It
further adds:
"Mr. Crnmpton, on his return home, will
find himself'at the turn of his professional
fortune. If sustained, ho will, of course, bo
promoted to au embassy of higher rank. If
not sustained, he will fall a victim to a want

i tries men's mettle. Diplomatic intercourse
| suspended, and the .lagers' mutiny at Ply- 1
i mouth, are the fruits that we now have to
j reap from seed so imprudently sown."
The dismissal of Mr. Crampton calls to
! mind the case of Mr. Jackson, tire British
I Minister, who was dismissed in 1809, for
grossly offotisivc conduct. Ilo had just re- J
: turned from Denmark, where lie had been
insolent aud overbearing. Our government
; would not submit to his arrogance. The
| Secretary of Statu informed Mr. Jackson
, that no further communication would be 1
i received from him. Mr. Pinckney, our
Minister to England, made a representation ,
j of Mr. Jackson's conduct to the British
| government, and he was recalled. Fifteen ]
months elapsed before a successor was ap- >

The Difficulty hktwlen Spain and j
1 Mexico.?The difficulty between Spain and
Mexico is said lo be serious. The amount
j claimed by Spain as losses incurred by j
Spanish subjects during the struggle of'
! Mexico for independence is six millions.
Mexico has called ?>r revision of the claims,
urging that some of them are fraudulent.
Spain refused this demand, and Mexico on:
deavored to enforce it by compelling the . ,
, complainants to deposit their titles with j
available security fir the amounts already

DEATH OF JAMES Y. TEISSIER, i:si|. !
Our friend nud townsman Jambs V. Tkimmibb, ,
K?q , departed this life, alter n brief illness, at bis t
residence in our town, oa Sabbath morning last, at \
8 o'clock, in the 30th year of his age.
lis hud been confined to his room for about eight <
days, and during that period had frequent and pro- i
fuse hemorrhages froin the lungs, llis demise was (
unexpected in time, but we caunot say that his |
friends were free from gloomy anticipation* ? sad ,
forebodings of the melancholy event. These linve i
been disal|Mted by tlio presence of the stern reality, |
and he is now no more.
To sketch his virtues?point his excellencies?is i
tlie tribute of sincere and disinterested friendship. ,
Mr. Trimmier wus a geuticinun of decided worth, ,
of a high order of taleut, and distinguished by in- ,
domitable energy of character, llis life, if we |
eould give its epitome, might well be a study for
imitation.' With a feeble constitution, without
menus, he started in life? and without the aids of |
(Wends and position. Pose en Jed from respectable ,
parentage?ho went forth covered with the mantle
of s father's name to recommend him to public no- |
tice. li e father had filled the others of Ordinary
and Commissioner in Kquity, and at one period held ,
an honorable legal position, lie was affable?ao- |
oommodaiing?toiled night nod day with p?n and j
head to the Inst moment of his life, for those who j
required his services. For such services tlicy cvei
ent< rtaiucd for him a grateful remembrance.
Under the prestige of a numo and reputation (
thus acquired the subject of our notice came U|m>ii ,
the reap risibilities of iniuhood. No b.-ight pros- ,
pects cheered him on?tioimmediate vista, shedding
its g >'<lo.i light around him, opened before his vision
. Within he lelt the impulsive power of a laudable
ambition, which iuvested the distaut future
with its loveliest charms, aiul beckoned hint onward
to the realisation of a victory over the adverse eir- |
cuinstanecs of Ins youth. Peterinincd to yield to I
no outward pressure, he resorted to the printing '
office, a.id assumed for a period the functions ol a |
printer, llvrc lie laid the groundwork ol habits of j
industry and perseverance, and enlarged that clc- '
mcntary knowledge already acquired. From types
and newspapers lie passed into the law otnee of
the late Messrs. Henry ?Sc Dean. Under their
paternal care, ?d?;w, liberality, and instruction lie !
made snoli progress in tlio study of the Ijhv as to (
qualify him for the practical duties of his profession. I
With zeal and energy h<* prosecuted his studies ,
after admission, and through the kindness of the ;
present Ordinary occupied his office for sonic time, j
in which position he gradually acquired a lucrative
practice. While tints situated Major Henry died,
and Major Dean proposed to him a partnership
upon the most liberal Urms. To the death of lite ,
former the partnership continued. After that
eVeut ho pursued his profession alone till within a
few mouths past, when he and Mr. Sullivan, of
Laurens, formed a business arrangement. Thus
associated he died, enjoying the liberal and profitable
rewards of close application to business and cnThe
deceased was not only a lawyer and an enthusiast
in Ins profession, but in I8.ri3 be assumed, in
conjunction with o'hers. the wditorshipof the Spartan.
In that fiehl, too, lie was energetic. Hut in j
the midst of these labors his health gave way. and j
ere the editorial year expired he bold and transferred
bis interest to his brother, now one of its proprietors
and editors. In 18u-l he became a esndididate
for the legislature. Though his health was
precarious and friends regarded him pliysiealiy incapable
of enduring tho fatigues of the canvass, hu ' ,
determined to run, notwithstanding their doubts
and remonstrances. In the fiehl ho losi no time in
making the race. From point to point he went,
and day after day made front one to two met dm
In October of that year the result of thepollsshow- , (
ed that the cuergy which he had expended -as not '
unprothictivo nor hi* labor misapplied, as lie stood
next to the foremost candidate.
From this stand point it ? pleasant to review his ' ,
manhood life?to sec him rising with the struggles '
and embarrassments of youth?overriding this ob* <
staclo and that? Punning this tidi and the other ( t
?through the apprenlioeahip of n prill ing, and the j
pupilage of a lawyer's office, to the cniineneo of a i
legislator. From this positiou .
"Death, alike tli# visitant of palace and cottage," j
umttionvd him from earth. With ambition psr- ,
l .illy gratified lie has been called hence, from a
young wife with two little children. From a circle j
of warm friends ho has been withdrawn?and no
remedy for their loss exists, excepting that winch i
the violence of grief and the overpowering* of sorrow
may produce. Yes, there is another palliative
for their broken hearts?another balm for their
mounded spirits. It issues horn the last wcrds that I
fell from his death-moved hps. As the blood (
itrenmed from him?as life ebbed m the crimson ^
;urrent?he uttered the words, "fcjweet, sweet dents."
How significant the expression?how full?
mmfort to those who hung upon his l.fc ! From
hem we may infer that his preparation was ade- I f
]uatc u> the emergencies of that dark hour ir. which (
lis spirit shed its mortal coil. The west of his
icing tcvea'ed a bright sunset, and gave assurance

Tho accounts front that city represent th<
trnngcr imputation of Cincinnati, on the 1st in
tatit, induced by the meeting of the 1 ?t tuocrulu
'onveiltion. at from 15,000 to 20,000. Hotels
loarditig, niiil even private houses, nro crowded ti
heir utmost capacity, aiel the dense throng was
ncrensing l?y every nvetiue o( npproaeh.
We know not how reliant tins following stateunit
may lie; but, il true, wo hope the d< ternuuaion
of our delegates to supjvort Mr Pierce throng!
-ne hundred ballots, sliould New Hampshire b,
rjually decided, will satisfy those of our own |?eoilc
who were so dreadfully solicitous for li s m-intuition,
hut who sedulously and determinedly t>p used
every p:?n for effecting such result. The
,'incinnali T mes of Monday wiys :
"1 lu? delegation from South Carolina lu .1 a

iruvided New Hampshire sticks to him unwaverngly

In the Senate of the United States, on the 8d
tant, the presiding officer laid before it the foiling
letter from Hon. P. H. Brooks, a member of
I loose of Representatives from Sootb Caroline;
Hie letter was read and bid on the table and
Icred to be printed.
m. J. P. Bright, President if the Senate:
House or iiirmiUTtTivu, May 39.
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.
Asking that yon will oblige rne by cntnmanicatr
this to the Si nate, aa ita presiding officer, I
ve the honor to remain, fir, with great reupect,
ur obedient servant.
