Nruntur Masou's ‘•Manners*’
Tho editor of Harper’s Weekly giving
his experience of two nights iu the Us
porter’s Gallery of the United States
Senate, presents the following sketch of
Senator Mason's “mauturs’’:
Let mu take this opportunity of saying
that, with all his faults, Senator Mason
is, perhaps, the nearest approach, in the
present Senate, to the brau ideal of a
Senator. He seldom makes long speeches.
What he lias to say ho says in good lan
guago, with a good manner, and iu a par
liamentary way. When he has done he
does uot go over the ground again, but sits
down. This art of sitting down is the
highest accomplishment of parliamentary
science, and one which our Northern tucu
find it very difficult to acquire. Mr. Ma
son never rises needlessly, and never suys
foolish things, llu spoaks always to the
Senate, never to the galleries, in par
liamentary tactics he is unrivalled. His
defects are obvious. His manner and
tone are unbearably iusolent. He talks
like a I’acba addressing cuuuchs.

Holeman sat down on the side of a trun

The llnrdrr Stare State*.
K<lt. Sun: ii is truly gratify ing to a
ori of the South to wimes'* the itunuimity
with which all parties, and portions,
fragments of parties which have been in
these Cotton Slates, are boldly meeting
the consequences of secession, rebellion,
revolution whatever you will call it.—
Seven States, noble, gallant Slates, free
States, though they hold slaves, have de
clared their independence as against all
the world. Their Congress, in which many
great lights shone, have done marvellously
well. A constitution, not a thing of
shreds and patches, an entire, w hether
made with duo formality, made without
any formality, hut made and well made to
last for ages; administration committed
to brave, wi-c, true men : departments
organized or organizing rapidly, fairly ;
things of highest moment done, and being
done in short space, and done grandly,
; heroically, and as yet no bloodshed, hope
j of none , all this, and more than can now
he said, taken together predict a futnro
for us, to which the past furnishes no
parallel. There are names in that Con
gress that will dwell in the utinals of the
Seven— great names, great, good men, for
they have done good—heroes, as that is
heroic which risks all for right. Look
alone at some of Georgia’s men, we might
say all ; hut see, Cobb, Toombs, Ste
phens : What work and toil, what sacri
| (ice and patriot zeal, what determination,
courage and will have they, yes all, dis
played in working out our great new !
problem.
Something yet remains to be done, and ;
with dispatch. .Not to ho dono alone,
by Hie good and true souls in whom we
have trusted and still trust, but wo, tho
many headod, must aid them and make
their hands stronger aud their hearts !
firmer, if that were possible. It is this : j
Men look to the “ Border Slave Stair. r,” .
as they are rightly culled
States aye slave States, slavishly ad
hering to an effete papers, writing ex
pressing that it was made for the purpose
of effecting a more perfect Union and
which, it is plain to all men, has not,
cannot, never can, accomplish Its pur
pose. Worst of slavery—slavery to an
idea, unsubstantial, impracticable, vague,
useless in this age of the world when it
fairly cteaks on its axles and wants oiling
sadly in many parts of its machinery.—
Men want the “Border slave States” to
join the Confederate States. What for ‘!
Because wo need them ? No—wc are
strong. We are a people. Wo have a
joint will and purpose, a unity of inter
ests, prospects and hopes.
With these borderers, bow is it?
Mixed—badly mixed and jumbled alto
gether. “ Black spirits and white, red
spirits and gray,” parti-coloured all,
from Western Missouri to Cape Honlo
pen ; from Susquehanna to lied—somo
good for us, some bad, very bad, worse
indeed in placos than Now England—
than Springfield even. Missouri already
sends a Black Republican to Congress ;
Maryland, iu effect one, if not more ;
Virginia would or could if in the ranks of
“ Itascaldom” in her north west any
brave sinner could be found to risk the
place ; so of mulish, swinish Kentucky ;
as to Eastern and Middle Tennessee,
with her Johnsons and Etheridges—oh
Lord ! It is baroly possible that North
Carolina may some of these days wake
from her slumber—dull, lethargic, migh
tily somnolent is she at present, and
not very likely to improvo iu political
health. None of these, wholly, breath
the pure untainted breath of true liberty.
They are now, more or less, ridden by an
incubus, worse than Hindbnd, “Old Man”
—they cannot shake it off—cannot even
fill it with gold or make it drunk—they
may perhaps, somo day, work it off in
blood. We havo scon of late what they
have done—thoir Peace Conferences when
they sat cheek by jowl with Abolitionists,
their convenings—resolves—no end of
speaking ; eternal iteration of “If you
don’t”—to tho North—and then magnifi
cent wordiness touching nil topics from
“ Man's first disobedience, and the fruit
Os that forbidden tree.”
down to tho mundane trifles of customs,
tariffs, dollars, cents
On the footsteps whereof, follows de
liberate submission to tho imagination of
Black Republican rule—thoir Senators
and Uepresentatives holding their seats
—drawing their pay or earning right
to draw it from Black Republican coffers
(if by chance they ever have anything in
thorn) —acknowledging the right of men
to command, legislate, execute their
laws, who, all the while, say to them—
“ IF are masters now, the majority must
rule. lou can’t help yourselves pro
viding for new conventions to go over all
the resolving amljspeechifying, intriguing
to get some of their chosen ones into
high placos (scorned for thoir pains, by
the way) and much else of tho like sort.
These are some of their works; tho
working of these “Border slave States”
that somo poor fatuous individuals crave
after. Such works, nt such a time !
Wo want no such things. Let us say
to them in tho words written by the Apoo
nlyptio Seer in case not very dissimilar,
“Wo know your works, that ye are
neither hot nor cold ; we would ye were
cold or hot. So then beouuse ye are
lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, we
will spue ye out of our mouths.” Let us
have uo leaven of Abolition in the Con
federate States. Shut the door close
against the entrnnee of such a danger
ous inmate, and with what we have, and
it is enough and. of tho best, make our
Confederacy what nature intended this
land to be. the Paradise of all this earth.
Why should we stretch out the hand to
these halting, faltering, wavering, timor
ous, doubting, no-mau's land “Border
’ Slave States”—introduce into our happy
! family the element of continual discord,
of anew separation some)years hence,
and patch up our new bottle with old
leather.
If it now behooves us, as wo now
launch our fresh built craft on a danger
, ous sea, to look well as to what officers
command, who is at the wheel—what
provisions and cargo is shipped, bow much
more important is it to watch well and se
lect with care the crew with which she is
‘ manned ? A few, a very few, unquiet,
restless, mischievous, may balk (he whole
voyage. On these considerations and
i others of weight, it is our policy, and so
we should tell our representatives, to
treat these Border States as we do the
rest of mankind—Enemies in war, in
peace, friends REGULUS.

Col. Laraori with the greatest courtesy.
No positive orders have as yet been
issued for the evacuation of Sumter.
The Commissioners from the Confed
erate States have rented the house for
merly occupied by the South Carolina
Commissioners during their sojourn in
; this city.
The Republicans have relinquished the
S idea of removing the officers of the Senate
who do not hold to the particular tenets
of their political faith.
There is no truth in the report that
Hon. Dudley Mann, one of the Commis
sioners appointed by President Davis, is
not going to Europe.
Special to the Mercury.
Washington. March 24. — Tho Commis

in Alexandria, Virginia The Abolition
ists are boasting that they will have him
arrested if he should come to Washing- j

Fox, thejspecial envoy of Lincoln to
Fort Sumter, reached here on his return
yesterday. The Administration keeps

what account Fox has given of the state

particularly encouraging

Special to the Charleston Courier.
Washington, March 24.—Surgeon Fox,
the special messenger to Mnj. Anderson, i
arrived here this morniug, aud made |

day, but the evacuation question was not
considered.
The Secretary of War, in reply to an
interrogatory, states that the evacuation
will take place very soon. It is under

Anderson to that effect.
The city was greatly excited all day
yesterday. There were all sorts of fly
ing (and lying) rumors about Fort Sum
ter. Some had it that the fort had been
evacuated by Major Anderson and blown
up, &o.
Latch.—lt is rumored and generally
believed, that another special messenger
left Washington, on Friday night, with
ordors for the evacuation of Fort Sumter,
after a long interview with Mr. Seward.
The messenger is believed to be the Pres
ident’s confidential friend, Mr. Lamon, of
Illinois.
Mr. Seward’s reply to the Confederate
Commissioners, from good authority, is
understood to have declined recognition,
but status that the policy of the Admin
istration will ho peace, and invites con
ciliation and peace from the South, re
commending earnestly a National Con
vention for the settlement of all difficul
ties. This is the gist of the matter.
Special to tho Charleston Mercury.
