I'r >m the Norfolk Herald. Tlie Caning affair. We are as much the friends of law and order n:ul of freedom of speech and of the press ns it is rcasonsnb'e to bo, but not of the abuse which are twi often perpetrated in t> e names. There are points beyond which even the most salutary and conservative rule may become a palling oppression, and that is when it tolera tes licentiousness and thereby requires passive obedience and non resistance under circum stances of the greatest, provocation. We con sider that an ember of the court, or of legisla tive body, forfeits lrs privilleges of free discus sion when be decends to scurrilous and libel lous personalities; and that he lays himself open to personal chastisement,as thconly remedy within the reach of the aggrieved party who, if he chooses to inflict it, cannot be said in strict truth end justice to have committed <>uy breach f ] rivilege. though lie may of the peace, and cons qncntly subject himself to such penalty as a jury ot his peers shall assess. Nor have we any fears for the liberty of lie press r sympathy with any member of it when lie draws down upon himself a severe retribution from some party whose feelings and character he has cutanged by abusive and s’anderous jKTSonalilies. No Good end can be attained by a dcpaiturc from courtesy and respectful language, c.ther on the floor of Congress or in the columns of a newspaper. It was Gold smith. we believe, who uttered tlie sentiment, that the heaviest calamities are often borne with philosophic resignation, where little villanies penetrate the soul and sting it into madness And thus while the severest wounds are given in the polished language of debate, (gentlemen use no other,) and borne without wincing, < aurse and slanderous invective defies all hu man efiort to preserve an equanimity of tem per, i:; keeping with the d : gnity of the House —and ‘quite athwart goes all decorum.’ With regard to the special case of Senator Sunnier, cur only regret, if we may allow our selves to feel any on the occasion, is, that he, a member of so grave and dignified a body as the Senate of tlie United States*—perhaps we might here add, once was —should so far have furgot what was due to his senatorial position, to the State which lie represents, and to his own self respect, as to have indulged in such language ns ho used in debatc-so grossly scur rilous, vituperative and insulting as to have provoked the chastisement, lie received, Mark you—although it was inflicted on him in the Senate chamber, it was not until after the Senate had adjounifd, His attack on Mr Butler was the most dastardly, unmanly and unpardonable, from the fact of that gentleman's absence from ‘Washington—added to which, bis advanced age and venerable character made him no match in a personal contest with Mr. Sumner, who is in the prime, of life, even if lie had sought personal redress. The affair, it seems, has produced an im mense sensation in Boston. The black repub licans regard it as their exclusive property, and held an indignation meeting of their party at which it was resolved that none but black republicans felt any interest in the mauling which their Senator had suffered, and that all but black republicans were indifferent on the occasion No doubt they will do their ugliest and worst to turn the Sumner licks to political capital in the approaching contest. They had better admonish their Senator to keep a civil tongue in his head for the future, though per haps that he has already received will suffice forthat. We have presented our views of this affair in no sectional spirit. They contain just such sentiments as we would have felt and uttered under the same circumstance*, if the geograph ical position of the parties had been changed. In all matters of national import, save those involving Inc constitutional rights of the South we know uo North, no South, no East no West. ltcilglou in Adversity. The life of man has always been a mix ed state, full of uncertainty and vicissitudes, of anxieties and fears. In every religious an diencc, snrs Blair, there are many who fall under the denomination of the unfortunate; and the rest arc ignorant how soon they may Ik; called to join them —for* the prosperity of no tnau on earth is stable and assured Dark • loads may soon gather over the heads of those whose sky is now most bright. In the midst ot the deceitful calm which they enjoy, the storm that is to overwhelm them has, perhaps, already begun to ferment. ‘Jf a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him re member the days of darkness, for they shall be many. Hence, to a thoughtful mind no study can appear more important, than how to be suit ably prepared for the misfortunes of life; so as to contemplate them, in prospect, without dis may, and, if they must befall, to bear them without dejection. Throughout every age, the wisdom of the wise, the treasures of the rich, and the power of the mighty, have been em ployed, either in guarding their State against the approach o( dUtress, or in rendering them selves less vulnerable to its attacks. Power has eudeared to remove adversity to a distance philosophy has studied, when it drew nigh, to *o quer it by patience; and wealth has sought out every pleasure that can compensate or al leviate pain. “While the wisdom of the world is thus occu pied, Religion has been no less attentive to the same important object. It informs us of a ‘pavilion’ which God erects to shelter his ser vant ‘in the time of trouble;’ of a ‘secret place in his tabernacle,’ into which he brings them; of a ‘rock on which lie sets them up:’ and we are told, too, of a ‘shield and a buckler’ which be spereads before them, ‘to cover them from the terror by uight, and the arrow that flieth by day,’ Now, of what nature are those in struments of defence which God is represented as providing, with such solicitous care, for those who fear him ? Has he reared up any bulwarks, impregnable by misfortune, in order to separate the pious aud virtuous from the reet of mankind, and to screen them from the common diseases of life ? No. To those dis asters we behold them liable no less than oth ers The defence which religion provides is al together of an iuternal kind It is the heart, uot the outward state, which it professes to to gard. When the time of trouble comes, as come it must to all, it places good men under the pavilion of the Almighty, by affording them that security and peace which arise from the belief of Divine protection. It brings them into the secret of his tabernacle, by opening to them sources of consolation which are hidden from others By that strength of mind with which it endows them, it sets them upon a rock, against which the tempest may violently beat, but which it cannot shake. Auctions do not attack the Christian by surprise, and therefore do not overwhelm him. He was equipped for the storm, as well as the calm, in this dubious navigation of life. Un rier those conditions he knew himself to be brought hither; that he was not to retain, al ways, the enjoyment of what he loved: and therefore, he is not overcome by disappointmet, when that-which is mortal, dies; and when that which he knew to be transient, passes a w ay . —Pennsyl ca nia n . Point of Honor Settled. On the morning of the 2d inst a party from Montgomery, Ala. arrived in this city, for the pnrpose of settling a pcint of honor. Mr. H. Hudson and his friends arrived on the night train and stopped at the Perry House Mr George W. Lyman and-his friends arrived at noon. On the affidavit of V. 11. Tommey, of this city, a warrant was issued for the arrest of the parties. No sooner did the second par ty set. foot on our soil than the deputy sheriff, Brooks, arrested Mr. George ‘A . Lyman and B. L Possey At the request if the parties arrested, they were carried before Judge Wor rell. His Honor, however refused to hear the case, holding that the Magistrate was fully competent to determine the matter. A writ of habeas corpus was then sued out and grav el by Judge Bull as to Mr. Posey, whose name was not included in the affidavit on which the warrant was issued, hut refused as to Mr. Lyman, who appeared before Justice McKeh dre, and there being no evidence to sustain the warrant, was discharged. Mr. Hudson avoid ed arrest by going over to Girard, Ala. as soon as notice of the issuance of the warrant reached him. During the afternoon a meeting was agreed upon for Tuesday morning, but was prevented by the interposition of a party of friends from Montgomery, rho reached this city in time to prevent the shedding of blood, by an amicable arrangement honoiable to both parties.— Times & Sentinel. Bloody work in Kansas. St. Louis, May 30, 1856.—The St. Louis Republican, this morning, publishes a letter purporting to come from Independence, May 26. which states that eight pro slavery settlers on Pottawatomie Greek, have been killed by free State men.
