SLATING THE SLANDERERS.

The following; is an extinct from a spe cli made by Mr David liiichunau in the AewSouh Wales Parliameni, He. was spi-aking of some, false accusatioi.s made aj:ain.-t a brother legislator, and !ii.-> iiiii'_-u;)i_;e, as vi.l be seen, is an excellent, ( xample of torci hie and scathing invective :" JVo character is su h.iteiui as tije common s'ahd'.rer . Hoik ruble nieuiiers would, he dare say, lmve found in the coulee of their experience thut there were in existence certain savsiiro animals which fed uj>un corrupdun, whiM- richest repast was derived frou. the fti'al of ihe graveyards, who scented the putrid c.<rcas> from afar, aud hastened to appease their Juthsome appi-tiies with the festering tilih of tlie charm-1 hou.-e .Sav;i»e and revolting as those animals were, worse still was a tw.)-U'g^ed human animal of the same species, equally savage and equally loathsome, whose breath was poison, aiid who lived only to sully aud polute everything he touched. The growth and offspring of the cesspool, ire was reared amidst every physical and moi-al contamination ; continually fattening on the rottenness of obscenity, slander and foul-mouthed calumny were to him tlie breath of life ; within his ignominious skin no generous pulse ever beat, but his venomous heart leaped withjoy, and gloated over ihe prospect of stabbing with his foul and pestilent tongue ihe weak and defenceless. 'Ihe four legged brute was surely hateful enough, but the twoi legged monster in human form culled for a deeper and more inveterate detestation.
