Sir, the majority rules in this republic, and the interest of a majority is against you. How then can you rationally hope to succeed? It is only by conciliating natural opposition, and by effecting com promises with those who are interested to oppose you. It is by enlisting the feelings of the many on your side, by the spirit of kindness with which you present your claims, and b} the moderation with which you portray your sufferings. Have you adopted a wise and prudent course like this? Have not, on the contrary, your direst! execrations been visited on villagers and lawyers equalled only by the wild ravings of your party at the Parishes, ever since this contest began? Will men yield in your favor, whilst you denounce and attempt to ostracise them? I aver to you in the -- presence of our Maker, that you can never accom plish Division until you gain over to its support, both Parishes and lawyers, however destable they may be in your eyes. Begin your work, therefore, in season; lawyers have no horns, nor have the men of the Parishes tails. They reason and feel like men, and they have the impulses and honor of men. Why is it that you have selected only a few lawyers, out of the whole State, for your especial caresses? Are they more honest than the rest, or are they less lawyers? Perhaps their legal attain ments have not yet rendered them odious ; but you will naturally expect them to inprove with experi ence. You had better take care of them whilst they are yet docile, or they will turn their horn's against you and gore you, as they grow older and wiser. My friend, amend your course, and you may yet prosper. The only hope that is left you, is to effect a complete change of your ministry, and of the ad visers of the crown. We read somewhere of a mon ster with seven heads and ten horns. Let it not be said that your party is nothing but a more horrible prodigy, with no head and ten horns. In concluding this letter, 1 must again beg you to take no offence at the language I have been com pelled to use towards you, in my humble appeal to your better judgment. The truth, as it seldom reaches them, must sound very harshly in the ears of potentates ; and though your dominions are a little circumscribed, it only the more behooves you to act a kingly part. I warn you again, that without a total change of . your counsellors, and an entire shifting of your policy, your project is utterly defeated. Be pleased to lay these pieces aside, and if they be not verified by time, in word and letter, then reproach me as being unworthy to make a safe suggestion-eall me no son of r prophet. In the meantime, advise your friends to make no speculations, yet awhile, in the purchase of Butler town Lots. RICHARD. THE " GALLAN'T" MR. WOODRUFF. That most worthy paper, the New York Day Book, whose zeal in behalf of the South many Southern Journals might properly imitate, thus eharacterizes this most "valiant" of Mr. Brooks' opponents: It is not easy to conceive of a more contemp tible fellow than this man Woodruff. He is however, just such a miserable, cowardly crea ture as one might exp.-et the wooden nutmeg button makers and tin pedlers of Connecticut woulit send to represent them at Washington. His conduct is enough to make one fairly asham ed of his race. Just look at the poltroon; he gets up in his plaee :and lets off a tirade or high - sottndog bragadocio :and common blackguard ism about cowardice, ruffianism and brutality, declaring himself responsible for what he satys, and looking around with an air of defiance as if he carried a gun-boat armfamenlt on his back, and screatming at the top of his voice, " cotme out! who dares fight me?" and sits down coy. ered wvith Black Rqpublican glory. Fifteen minutes after this hieia called aside by a friend of the man he has grossly abused, and asked if he will fight, wvhen all of a sudden he discovers that his peace principles forbid the thought of hostilities! His lips become pallid, hi.' knees tremble, and putting up both hands he exclaims. "my dear sir, I meant no offense taiatever; I will make any apology you desire ; I never tgght ; fighting is against mny principles. Do, I beseech you, sir, take tmy apology to Mr. Brooks and tell him I meant no otYenoce." And this is a Black Repubtican championi, a Connecticut hero! We do not see what respectable men, who are obliged to sit in Cottgress day after, daty and listen to suchi men's blackgaardism, cain do; they cannot stoop to reply to their stuff, and - they cannot make them stand up to their pro. fessions. Tile ontly proper way to treat theam, that we can conceive of, is to kick themi as onte would a dirty dig. CENSURE OF EON. L. H. EEITT. Never before, in tile history of American leg islation, has so gross an outrage been commit ted against justice, and the righats of the citizen. as has just bseen consummated in thte censure of Hon. L. M. Keit t lby the IHouse Representatives; We5 ecarch in vain the records of "Privilege.' as expounided by an omnipotent Pairliament, tat ,times of the wildest excitement, for any pre eedent that approaches it. What are the faicts ? The majority report of the House Committee declares: " Whereas it further appears from suc-h inves tigation that Henry A. Edmundson, a Represen tative from the State of Virginia, and Laiwrence Mi. Keitt, a Representative frem the State of South Carolina, seime time previous to the said assault, were informed that it was the purpose -of the said Pieston S. Brooks to conmmit vio leince upon the person of the said Charles Saum ner for words used by him in debate as a Sena tor in the Senate, and took no measures to dis courage or prevent the same, but, on the con ' trary, anticipating the commnisi-ion of snehl vi', lerncet, were present on or.e or more occasions to witness the sanme as friends of the assailant." Now it mnusi Ibe borne in mind that this was the ve-r dict of 3Mr. Sunter's sympathiz, rs-sym paathaizers not only in his political opiaiions, but in his inafamnous likiels upont South Carolina, and in his more infamous cowardice. And ye?, with all their malice and invention, they cotuld con vict Mir. Keitt of nothing more than that he knew or 3Mr. Brooks' itntention, and happented to be present ona the occasion of Sumner's eas tigation. They do not ptretend to assert that he either advised M1r. Brooks to his ecturse, or wais aware. whent te nssautlt wvould take ph~ice, while 3Mr. Brooks openly and enmphatically de elared in tha-.eause thtat nobody knew when or where he would execute his determaination. For the simple faet, then. of beingt present-that while others were interfering ag:ainst ftlr. Brooks. he intterposed to prevent interference-Mr. Keitt - is atrraigned and ptiblicly censured biy the Hlouse of. Representtattives. The stigma~ in the cisstre of sucht a body as the pire-ent llouse of Re-p. resentatives-has been placed upon 3Mr. Keitt and upon the constituet:ey whose represenata live he is. Upon what plea, or specification, is this cen sure founded? Hlas Mir. Keitt violated the 'Privilege" of the Sen~ate ? Has heo trainsgress ed aught :againz-t that ltw, under which each Hlouste of Conigress nastumtes to be the- acc-u-er. the jutdge aind the exeemiioner-a law undefined. aibitrary arid absolute, aid by whose sanctions) te worst nets of tyramny htaive Ibeen perpetra ted,-a inwv nbhorrent to every pirinciple oaf free constittional governimenit ? las, we say, Mr. Ke-itt transgressed even this law ?it is no t so elaimied. There is nao brertIt oif .Prmiiegte" c.harged agaitnst him. In its tie-r-:e and intoler ant usurpation, the Ilonise of Representtatives has scorned to see~k justification int event so con venietnt a elnim as this. Nor does it ebarge Mr. Keitt with "disaorde~r lv c-ondet"-the only c-harge whieb, uinder the C'onstitution. it can be co.gniiant of. lie did nothing whichi could sustain i-uchI a ebiarge,aand hieree the sile-nce of thle majority'report upon the sut'ject. His soie olffence was, that he knew of air. Brgolak's intenation, and did not reveal it .to the officers of thme laiw-that hte chose to mainltain that silence which wras equa:lly hi.s ripi, nrd, utrder the circumlstanaces, hIs duty to maintain. Antd has it conme to itis-htas this boasted free Democratic Government-- tis ":asy luim for the oppressed of all nations"-grown e o insolent in its aggression, so reckless of right ..,a law as thtat a citizen and the repreraentative of a State, is to be dragged to the bar and pub. licly reprimanded, because he dues not betray his social confidences? Are we, indeed, living under an Inquisition, which not only tortures from the citizen his private confidences, but makes of him a spy and an informer? But why did the House strike out the name of Mr. Edmundson from the resolution of cen. sure? Mr. Keitt and Mr. Edmundson were guil ty of the same offence, and the majority report embraced them both in the same resolution, as follows: Resolved, That this House hereby declare its disapprobation of the said act of Henry A. Ed. mundson and Lawrence M. Koitt in regard to the said assault. We can give but one solution to this ques tion: the indignity was aimed at South Caroli na. The resolution to expel Mr. Brooks had failed, and political malice, disappointed of its first victim, turned upon his colleague. To sin gle him out, and, by making him the sole object of censure, thus insult the State whose Repre sentative he was, became at once the game. Mr. Sumner had singled out South Carolina for his slanders and vituperation, and now the House of Representatives acts in the same spirit. We hope that the lesson will be remembered in South Carolina. If her past position and principles have made her the mark of fanaticism, she will not be insensible, we trust, to the honor which is involved in still maintaining them. At such a time, she cannot recede one inch from the point to which a true and brave devotion to the rights of the South has brought her, nor abate the least of that spirit which procures for her the honor of being first in the hatred of the enemies of the South. While calmly turn. ing her back upon this proffered indignity, as contemtible as it is unjust, she can stilt remem ber the spirit and motive which inspired it. Charleston Mercury. MINISTER TO MEICO. President Pierce has recalled Gert. Gadsden, Minister to Mexico, and appointed in his stead Mr. Forsythe, editor of the Mobile Register This event appears to have attracted but little attention. Why was Gen. Gadsden removed? What has he done which was not approved of by the aovernment at Washington ? What has he failed to do, which was required of him? Fias he rendered himself obnoxious to the Gov. vrnmont of Mexico? If so, in what way? Or was Gen. Gadsden recalled to make room for one who is more of a Democratic partizan, and whose services demanded a recompense? The country is interested in knowing the rea sons why Gen. Gadsden has been superseded. The matter should not be suffered to be slurred over, or passed by without a satisfactory explir. nation. If Gen. Gadsden has neglected his ofii ciat duties, violated his instructions, or compro mised his government by word or deed, the n ture and dbaraeter of the offence should be made public. If on the contrary, he has been faithful in the discharge of his mission, and has been re nmoved for only party purposes, the country should know it all, and the participators in the shameful transaction should be held up to pub. lie scorn and reprobation. Will any one of the Democratic organs vouch safe an explanation? Can the Mobile Register exphin the transaction? [Carolina Times. Mars.
