Dignity.—In a recent debate in the New York Legislature, the following passage occurred:
Mr. Young—I was going to say, that in this personal, violent abuse of me, made by him, and sent to me, and hawked about the Senate, I am threatened with an attack by him or some of his coadjutors. I now wish to apprise him that my whole life, from my boyhood to the present moment, is at his disposal. If he can fix upon me any act of dishonesty or dishonor, let him do so. When he has done so, however, he will have to sit for his own picture, and I will draw the picture of a drunken demagogue.
Mr. Hubbard.—All I have to say is, the gentleman is a liar.—Virginia Republican.
