PERSONAL ABUSE.
■ The besetting sin of many of those who at the
| present day occupy the rosponiible station of
conductors of the public press, is their aptitude,
to leave the ground of fair, candid argument,
in discussing questions with their opponents,
, and to engage iu heaping personal abuse upon
all who do not happen to think or act accord
ing lo thtir notions, of right or wrong, m all
matters, social, moral, and polrtfcal. The fol
lowing extract i'rcni a speech delivered by the
Hon. William Gaston, before the Whig and
Cfiosopliic Societies of the CoHege of New
[ Jersey on the 29th of September 1.-st, contains
sound doctriuc upon the subject, and will am
ply compensate tlie reader for t£# time that

Civilized nations, by a perfectly under
stood, though tacit compact, have estab
lished rules by which their hostilities nre i
regulated, and of which no extremity will
permit the violntiou without incurring uni j
versal infamy. It is time that the liteia j
ry slruggles of contending tactions should i
also have their fixed rules of war.; “ .Aon 1

not by fraud, not by secret machinations,
hut openly and armed, the Roman people ;
avenges itself on its f»es; was the answer 1
of the senate of Rome to the proposition
of the king of the Catli to lake otf Armi
nius by poison. Assassination, the poiso
nmg ol weapons and of w aters, are Hoar
ded by every civiiizt d people as utterly de
testable am! inadmissible in war. It is too
much lo hope that the managers of factious
warfare can ever be biought to coniine !
themselves to fair arguments addressed
solely to the understandings of their hear
ers. Nay, it is, perhaps, not to be wish
ed that they should wholly forbear fiotn
those appeals lo the feelings and passions
of human nature, which open tjuieken the
judgment in its operations, and without
which, few will take an intere-t in discus
ions of a general character. Jjut detrac
tion is intimately allied in baseness, and
ciuelty to assassination. It inflietethdead

whether it lie false or truo— to destroy the
fairdame of an adversary, wants but lit

poisoned tvqyp in. W here the blow !■ not
in itself sereie the venom may yet rankle
ik. corn- ie. It is a weapon, (no which equ
alizes live true man and the false, the coo: i
ragcoiis and die coward, and requires for
i.s use neither vigor of intellect nor man- j
lines* of purpose. In trut'i, the ba-»*t,!
the feet lest in temper, and the weakest in
argument, aie usually the mo-t di posed
and the best qualdi d (o resort to it._
\\ bile it displaces those by whom it i>
employed, it grievously annoys those a- :
gainst whom it is directed ; and alltnga- I
ged in the contest whether victors or van- I
quisbed, come forth from it diseased, spot
ted, maimed and infected,
It is always ditiicult to conduct an ear- !
nest controversy without committing in-I
‘justice. In the mast sincere, the ambition
of victory usually impairs the love of truth :
and warps the judgment. Even to the !
benevolent, opposition lo confident opinion I
is apt lo kindle wrath, and to draw upon 1
the oupaser that hostility which should be
directed against hisertors. W ho is iheie
that ever i ngaged m such contests that j
did not complain that his motive* or ius |
actions were misri presented St traduced ?
The experience of such injustice should I
render him slow to charge his adversaries j
with wicked acts or wicked designs, ns lie 1
cannot hut know that he isequally liable to \
commit rash mistakes, in proportion as
the temptations to this injustice are strong i
(he victory over them is nobie ar.d useful !
it has been said of Charles Fox, that j
ftw circumstances contributed more to his
| exalted fame as a public debater, than the
! perfect fairness with which ho always sta
ted the arguments of his opponent. ’ Such
frankness impressed every one with a con
Motion of his sincerity, evinced his calm,
collected'; undoubtinff confidence in the
cause cl truth, and bespoke for him the
most favorable attention of his hearers.—
Would that it were possible to inspire all
our disputants, who carry on the wordy
war in the daily weekly and monthly sheet*
I political, literary, and theolgscal, that lly
] around us, with a practical sense of the
j advantages that result from candor, tem
perance, and (air dealing ! But loo many
i of them are so intent on delecting the bin
I mislies in the character and conduct of
j those who dissent from them, that they
: have neither leisure (o consider, nor (ho t
to bestow on their own moral in,prove
I nient. They wholly invert the maxim of
| benevolence and wisdom. They do no!
1 regard peifection a* the rule by which to
regulate their own conduct, but hold it np
as the standard by which to censure the
acts of others- They consider themselves
as making i very atonement for their own
violations of justice, truth, and charity, by
the keenness of their invectives and bold
ness-ol their denunciations against every
opponent, whom zeal, prejudice, or re
sentment, converts into a transgressor.—
Would that they could be prevailed on to
take lor their guide the counsel of Cole
ridge— himself the most earnest aud dog
malic of public writers—“ Show intoler
ance (o ei roneous principles and opinions,
because (bey are repugnant to truth and
virtue ; but be tolerant to men, be tolerant
to motive!, for no one know a but that he
may have mistaken positive opinion for
certainty and clear insight. Conscien
tiously tolerate each other's intolerance.”
Or would rather, if I might dare to apply
the solemn injunction ol the apostle, on a
j subject of eternal moment, to one of mere
J !y temporary interest (and why may I not,
*“ jflk
' when its application concerns the highc*
I moral good of man ?) would that thej
I would act up to the emphatic command

An*emusing incident happened oh Tues

which the following report is given by the

motived an exhortation to the members to
attend more to the principles of religion
and morality, as a duty they owed to their
Cud a. d country, being representatives of
the freest government in the. world, and
concluded by requesting permission to

Ttorr.—'ihe Washington correspondent of
the Jotirrul of Commerce, furnishes the
following remarkable statement;
A most extraordinary drvvlopement has
been made in regard to the French Q ics
j tion. it is found that the President, with

j ed an impartial part of,4hy correspond
| cncjLin dgJJNX-. iltlvHk -appears thisl
■ MffiiHlWIjf alter the. passage of the In
demnity bill, the Duke de Broglie, did, in
an olfkial manner, inform this government
that, notwithstanding the rUuso in the hill
Franco was ready to pay the sum appro
priated us soon us the President would,
, by any explanation, afford her an excuse
! for so doing. It further appears, that, of
this voluntary communication, no notice
was taken py lira President, at the lime,
nor since ! nor even in the message.
I forbear, at ptesent any reimrks upon
these facts, further than to mv that they
will necessarily have a most important
bearing upon the ultimate settlement of
t lha question ; ami that they involve the
property, and happiness of the people of
both rountiies cnncernld If there, was
any spirit in the House, w hich could for u
moment, soar a bore the party feeling of
i the day, the Executive would at once be
called to. account for this extraordinary
proceeding.
The Spy in Washington thus confirms
I the statement of the correspondent ol the
; Journal of Commerce :
| In June last, the Duke da Broglie, ad
! dressed a letter to M, Pagool, the. French
j Charge, on the subject of the d.ffereacc*
j between Fiance and the United States.—
The letter was not ottkixl, but a private

- tiasi. of an informal conference between

1 he following letter from Mr. Tarver,

we have no doubt, the sentiment* of » ve
ry decided majority of (he l.egislature of
Tennessee, on a subject that has attracted
much of the public attention Mr. Far
ver is a plain, hone-d independent, strong
headed fanner Than him, the President
of the United States neve* had, nor ever
will have, a more consistent and sincere
friend :
Nashville, Nov. I!, 1S<?5‘.
Rlr- Walker—Sir, by art extract from
the Memphis Gazette, published in the
Union ol this place, I Irani that the ciii
zens ol' Hardeman county, will instruct
their Representative tu vote lor the adop
tton ctf Mr. Guild's Resolution, to instruct
our Senators in Congress to vole lor ex
panging the resolution adopted by the Se
nate ot the United States on the iJay
of March, 18-3-4 1 nat the people have
the tight to instruct their Repieeentativc
to obey such instructions, to any extent
provided they are not inccm-ideiii with
Hie constitution of the United States or ol
, the State ot ieuncssce; beyond this he
. cannot, he daio not go—and why ? lie
ca'use the people in their sovereign capa
city have ordained that their represents
lives before entering into their scrvic*
should take a solemn oath, to support tin
Constitution of the State ol Tennessee am
of the United States. ** To support,” at
, i understand it, means to act conformably
, to, not to vitiate, or disregard. When "l
j take that oath, I understand that 1 solemn
ly swear, that 1 will not in my office dc
auy act that is forbidden, nor fait to d*
[ auy which that Constitution requites—ir
[ fine, that it is the supreme rule all my of
ficial acts. '1 hcrefore 1 cannot under am
possible contingency vote for Mr. Guild
Resolution, because in doing so, i shook
t instruct men to disregard or violate Ilia
very Constitution which thy ate swon
t to keep. Thai instrument requires tha
each Senator before entering on the dulit
of his office, shall swear to support it; i
' also requires each House of Congress tc
k«ep a journal of it* proceeding-*. Tlu
j intention of the fc,truer* of our Fedcra
Commiuti.-n, i;i requiring each House o
Congress to keep s journal of its proceed
ings, must have been, to preserve a com
p!*‘ie record of the nets anil doings of that
body. Now if w« instruct our Senator*
I to expunge, efface, obliterate or otherwise
destroy, any part of that journal, are we
not Count) indirtg them not to keep a jour
nal ; and if they obey us, are they not
, palpably neglecting to keep « journal of
their proceedings according to use pro vis
j ion of the constitution, which they have
| sworn to support? The Constitution is
j the tsuhv.uk of our liberty, and foundation
i id our civil lights ; hence It ha* beets the
' policy of our government to tiring every
officer thereof under the most solemn and
powerful motives, to support it und con
form to its provisions.
Hut asidu Iron* this objection, let ns ex
amine the policy isf such a measure. If
! the Senate of 1633, should expunge any
: part ol the journal of the proe* riling* of
Ho t. why may not the Senate of 1630 Or
any subsequent year, expunge any part of
’ the journal of tbo previous session ? All
j that would be necessary to produce that
result, Mould lie lor the ofiemled puity to
predominate, and as parties predominated
they might expunge in succession until the
journal*, (the only true and faithful Jwit
ness ul the acta and doings of (he Senate)
would become as ridiculous, as false,
Again, if the Senate should pass the ex
punging resolution, have the older to ex
! puogc executed, and obliterate the c.flen
. sive resolution, will not the. expunging
j resolution (peak language and bear a tea
i tiiuony that cannot he sustained? The
expunging resolution will charge that in
iS3i, the Senate passed a resolution char
i ging the President with Climes, &c. ’I he
! journals would show that no such thing
| was done—because if the Semite had done
: so, it must of necessity, be found on the
journals of their proceeding*. Would Dot
posterity reason about i! ; the Senators
wore nil sworn to »np;i*irI the Constitution ;
t!\e Constitution required the Senate to
k.-ep a journal of their proceedings y no
suca proceeding* appear on the journals,
consequently no auch proceeding* wire
had. If-.t there is another reason why I
cannot vote for that resolution. Thiat»e
neral Assembly knew at th • linn; that
tin y ejected .fudge VV ! He, that hi*, would
not vote to expunge any thing fioro the
