A foreign correspondont of a New York paper, who not long since visited the British Parlia- ‘mont, strikingly coptrasts tho courteay of poli cal opponents in that body with the personalities which are 80 common in Americsa Legislatures. The moment s mewber srisea to sddress the House of Commons, he seems possessed by the ‘most : » REFINED AND GESTLEMANLY CONSIDERATION for others. In speaking of antagobists, hie care- fally guards sgainst the slightest imputation of dishonorable motive; or if, 1n the hicat of debate, s word of oblique significance slips from his toogue, ho hastons to withdraw it and to expresa Lis regret ; nay, even in his sarcasms and home- thrusts, he is careful. to mention .cometling to the crodit of the very foeman he is about to scsine. Such a thing as bushog abusive epithots, giving the lie, and, above all, threatening personal violence, — practicos 180 common as searcely to create & sonsation in our American Legislaturos,~wonld not be tolerated in the Houso of Commons for the fraction of & second. Grest as was the sscendency of Lord Palmerston in that body, it never anabled him to lord it over bis fellow-Commoners so far as to bo wucivil to the least popular members of the Houss. When, on cue occasion, ho trespassed 80 far a8 £o say impatienly of the novaver-popu- tar Joseph Hume, “ It the houorable-gentle- ‘man's understanding 18 obtuse, i1t is not my fanlt,” ho was instantly bronght to bis sanaes by the roproachful murmurs of the House, and was reminded that even Lord Palmerston must re- spect tho fina code of legialative chivalry estab- Lshed there. What American, unless s politician, WILL NOT FEEL BUMILIATED by the contrast between this piciure and the scenes often enacted in Congress and our State Legislatures? Who has forgotten the bitter end disgracotal sttuck made, a fow years 8go, by two leading Senatora upon the Secrotary of the Tresdury, regarding the Appropriation bill ? Who can forget tho scurrifous epithets applied, about tho same time, by 8 member from aine to auother member of the Honso of Representa~ tives,~cpithets which s fishwoman in Billings~ gato might delight to add to her already spark- ling vocabulary, but which —a beggar, in his driok, Would not bestow upon his callet, What mast be s foreiguer’s impression, if, on visiting Congrese, he should hear an altercation in which the vocabulary was exbsusted by mem- bers for foul efforts to fing 8¢ cach other, and sce this followed—as we have geen it—by one of the pugilists rushing with tarned-up leeves into the arcna before the Bpeaker, aud shsking his clenched fist at his antagonist ? NOT ALWAYS, HOWEVER, . did the British Benato transfuse vehement de- ‘bate with those gracoful amepities whick now do it honar, and which lift its discassions so far above the Lot and écurrilous word-brawls which politicians 50 oftén substituta for facts sod logic. Not tospeak of the famons quarrol be- tween Fox and Burke, or the Dake of Grafton's tannt st Thurlon’s mean extraction, which drow down upon the attickivg Lord such a crushing reply, who will forget Gratian's celebrated in- vective against Flood,—s foemea by 5o means uaworthy of bis steel? The speskar begina by supposing &n imaginary character, whom he in- vouts with 21l the faults of his opponent, sud in whom he traces his bistory. His evident inten- tion is to keep up the transparent mask to tho and of the speech, and then annihilato bis rival by & word,—~just £8 Brongham, forty years later, directed s memorabloattack npon Canning. Bat, in the middle of the =pecch, the orstor can restrain his pont-up indignstion no longer ; the direct bostility which inspiros the sasault is too powerfal to xllow the fiimsy pretext. of an im- aginary character, and Grattan burats into one of thoss FIZRY ONSETS which no man éver led with more tarrible affect: "The merchant may ssy to you,—tbe constitntionalist may sy to you,—The Amer- can msy ssy to you,—andl, Z now esy, snd asy to your beard, sir,—you are nof an Aonest nian 7 Blant terms Lke thste—''plaln words, stript of their shirts "—are sometimes excusable when a double-distilled knava is to be chastised; snd, on all occasions the homely langusge of honest indignation is mot to be confounded in the same censure with the coarse, rafian-like vituperations which bullies lika Butler hurl at each other. T3 reply made many years sgo by Mr. Trim- ble, of Obio, to a personal sttsck made oo him by the hanghty and fierce George McDuftio, of South Caralina, is a happy illustration of the way in which personalities, when very exasper- ating, may sometimes, withont & graat breach of decorum, be successfully repelled. Mr. Mo- Datfie, then & member of the House of Bepre- sentatives, in a speech upon tbat foor, made a cunning snd indirect ansaull upon Mr. Trimble, then comparatively obscure, snd exyectation waa on tiptoe to ses what course the Jatter wonld sdopt. Everybody who heard Mr. AcD. were well aware that his remarks were intended to bave &' personal spplication; but so carefally were they guarded by ekillfal phraseology that t0 resent them would seem like fitting to one’s back a cost not designed for his wearing. The next day, however, Trimble replied in & spsechof PRECISELY THE SAME CHARACTER- Cavertly and with wonderful ingenuity he at- tacked Mr. McDuffie in the sawe styls, makiog o spplication to himself of the speech to which he was replying,—thus throwing apon his appo~ nentall the reeponsibility of & quarral. When Mr. Trimble had sat down, Mr. McDuffe rose, and, with looks and tones of vebement defisuce, demanded a direct snswer to tho question whether the member from Ohlo mesnt to be per- sonal towards himself, in the remarks juat sab- mittod to the House? Calmly, imperturbably, the member from Ohio rose, and (hus addressed the Speaker: ‘ The momber from South Cero- lins demands of mo an anawer o his question. I give it to him in & question to nimaelf + Did he ‘mean to bo personal towards me, in his remarks of yesterdsy? If he &d, them I did in mine of todsy. It be did mot, I aid not. He has my amswer. It the gentle- man from South Carolios meant pothing per- sonal tosard myself in the remarks ho yeater- day submitted to the Hause, then [ did not mesn personally to roflect upon him, or may I never dcs the smile of - God! If the member from South Carolins meant sught personaf with re- gard to me, then I meat to be just as personal toward him, or may the lightnings of Heaven blast me whare I stand!™ Afr. McDuffie NEVER REPLIED. Whortook most by his motion, the sesder ean decide. 1t hos always appesrad strange to us thst ea- gacious, thoughtlul wen should, iz a delivera- tive aaserbly, whers a majority of wills is to be obtaiwed, 80 entirely lose sight of their interesta 88 tc be discourtaous to their assoviates. No donbt the s&va indignatio of sn enraged man bas prompted many & burst of eloguence of which his intellectusl power has been supposed to ba the source. “If I wish to composs, or Write, oF pray, and presch well,” Luttier used to say, “I1 must be angry [20rmig]. Thonall the blood in my veins is stired. my onderstanding is sharpened, and all dismal thoughts sod tempts~ tions are dissipated.” Doubtless by * aager™ the grest Reformer meant what wa call indigns- tiop, and, whers it ie of s lofty morsl character, there is nothing which gives A GREATER PROJECTILE FORCK or s more permanent offect to human thought, ‘Thackeray's literary facuily was fully equal to Swift's, but he produced » far feebler impression becauso he was devoid of the storn indignation— tho strong capacity for hatred—swhich made the Dean the most terrible of satirists. *Junius” owed half his power to his fiery rage. Take from the London Saturday Review its ill-temper and impudence, aad it would lose half of its brilliancy. A mighty anger gives prodigions force to a apeech or book; but, for temporary purposes, mere batred of the lowest Sort—pure spite—is a most potent literary ingredient. An exceodingly small amotnt of intollectus! power is sofficient to produce a very creditable effect, it it be fired by the gunpowder of a little anger. A Bsecret conscionsness of all this bas, Do doubt, led many & speaker to open the flood-gates of his wrath ; still, the true oratar will always beresdy to sacrifice himself, and his reputation for elo- quence, t0 gain his end : and he should, thero- fore, never forgot that {o conciliate is one of the chiet arts aud onds of debate, The suthority of intellect ia hard enaugh to ‘maintain, even with the ntmost winmngness of maoner aud the blandishments of rhetoric. Unlike personal majesty, or the soul-subduing fascination of besu:y, which are palpable to the eyo, it is an authority founded on opinion,~tbe opinion of associates; it ia an idesl supremacy, which men resdily deny when they choose, and always acknowledge wiih reluctanco. A haughty, eupercilious speaker on » legislative floar, who conatantly assumes an_sir and an atiitnde of ‘measce or defiance, and who verits oz his' oppo- nonts & delage of angry invectives, is A POSITIVE INJTRY to his constituents. Real Intellectasl blows, logical bard-hittiog, the stern cut-and-thrust of mind, none will object to ; but the eflect of these on & high-minded opponent is very differcnt from that of scorn or ridicule. When & man is emart- ing under tho stings of & merciess ser- casm, he is sa impassive to readon as if he were drunk or med. ' For the sake of their own reputationm, therefore, as con— vinciog debsators, to say nothing of tho interests thoy sdvacate, members of legislative bodies shonld beware of rousing to obstinacy their as- gociates, by violsting the courtesy which stiould marls the collision, not less than the friendiy in- tercourse, of cultivated and polished minds. We might add that the meanest insect has its stivg, =nd - that those who wantoofy seek to wonn their inferiars, whom they deem incapablo of defendiog themselves, often, in the bliudness of thoir insolence, TREAD OX A SCORPION instead of & worm, and receive s sting where they only snticipated the ploasure of seeing a victim writhe. Itis ssid of Dr. Priestley that, an all his contrsversies, verbsl or wrilten, he pevor gave offense by an allusion or a word; and we mav add that Lord Castlereagh, who was 30 successful in the British Parlisment, carried ten pointa by his good humor, coumymer- sonal influence, to every one that he by 1ia logic.
