It. was held in• the Methodist Church which was fitted up simply, btit: most tastefully, with a stage on which twen ty-four or five of our little maidens appeared, to entertain about two htto dred of us who . carne to see and hear. A piano played by Mrs. S.. or one—. some times, two of the girls,- assisted the singers. There -were several beautiful pieces, of which the 'Echo Song, Hard Times, and best of all, Harp of the Wild Winds, were very finely and sweetly performed. Some! of the instrumental pieces we were unable to appreciate. ,Tut had we . not heard anything, we would willingly. have paid twice the admittance price fol the pleasure of looking at the con cert. The girls, all -dressed in white, passed across the pulpit behind_ wreaths and arches of evergreens and flowers, and came on and left the stage in excellent order. Considering• what romps they are. commonly, Mrs. S. must have had wonderful influence., They had worked hard. preparing , all things during the day—exercises last ed pretty late for little children, and when.they came on to sing the closing piece, the little one of the flock, the center df the front row, was not there: Everyone missed her, every. one: in quired for her; but the' little • singer had fallen asleep.

Y. Evenirig Post, a full account of this 'cowardly-and brutal outrage. We again call the attention of our readers to the subject, because it is more than probable that the sacking'of Lawrence, and the' most murder of Sumner, is the e'en's mencement of a Revolution, and `we desire our readers to be fully informed of 'all its hideous -brutality: We say it is more than likely this is Ithel.com— mencement of a revolution, and say so for the reason that the attack on Surri ner, and the destruction of private property in Lawrence. is an open and notorious violation of the donstitution of the United States. Against attack ing. Senators or Representatives for words spoken in debate, the•Constitu_- tion provides : . . AET. 1. SEC. 6. .The Senators and Representatives (in •dongress) shall in all cases except treason, felony, and breach of the peace, be privileged ft'om arrest during their attendance at the session of.their respective lionse4, and in going to or returning from the same; and for any speech, or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other-place." Who does not see that the clause we have inserted in Italics is one of the most important parts -of the Constitu tion ?. • And if one half the Nation re fuse to he bound by it, then the union of these States is gone.. • If Brooks' sneaking attack on an unarmed and unsuspecting SO:tater, had been promptly repudiated by his colleagues, and he had been-expelled from his spat in the - House, *then no National: injury would have been in flicted.; but instead of this, every Southern man iu the House; but two, vote against even an inquiry into the matter ; and Senator Toombs,. a. leader of the slaveholders, stood up in the Senate, and made this .revolutiOnary announcement . " Mr. Toombs remarked that:he was his seat at, the time, and how Mr. Sunitter could suppose he saw him near Mr.BrOoks, he could not tell: It might be th4t: in the confusion -Mr. Sumner mistook Gen. Gorman for • him. • Mr: Toombs further said that in expressing opinions about the affair at. the time, sonic gentlemen condemned it ; but he (Toombs) told Mr. BioOki.that he ap : proved..of.ii."

The In-. •telligencet 4 -wants Seward. thrashed next, though it is puzzled to know how a . pretext can begot, as Seward is too, smart to violate. the 'decorum o • 'debate." The South Side'Demociat says that the telegraph has recently announced' no , i - nflrmation More grateful tO the feelings of the editor of that paper than the " claisical caning" received by_Sumner at the hands of the " ehiv alrous Brooks," which, he 'says, was the only punishment adequate to a propetl restraint of Sumner's "- in solence." , The Democrat thinks that if Sumner had possessed a spark of Courage, he would have been more than a match for Brooks, but that he " played the 'oraVon to perfection, and for him there can be no sympathy." The 11, ouisyilieTi mes spea 14 of Brooks as a most honorable. and chivalrous man, and feels sure that he has done nothing till bec,irning a gehtleman. It is useless, , however, to multiply ex tracts, as a great mass of the Smthern press, so far as received, - holds a simi lar tone, Thus it will be,seen the entire South justify the - open and notorious violation of a constitutional guarantee, just as they did . the Congressional guarantee in the Missouri Compromise thattie territory north of .313 degrees, 30 min utes, should be forever free ; and it is . evident that slavery will respect no constitution, no law of honor pr decen cy, and no compact human -or divine.

The Convention was organiied by appointing Capt. N. J. MILLS Presi dent, Judge' Niles and A.U.. Crosby Vice Presidents. Edwin Thatcher Mid . J. L. Warren were appointed SeCietaries. The objeCt of the meeting was eta .ed by the:Chair; when, On 'Motion, a committee of five, 'con 'si;tin of Illesiare.l.saac 'Benson, H. E. , Bird, H. J. Olmsted, 0. A. Lewis, and Isfrlson - Clark, was .. appointed by the Chair, for ,the purpose of drawing resolutions exTressivp of the feelings of the Ateeting. 'the committee •tyas ahsent, the meeting was addressed by L. F. Ma'yeard . a . n . dA. G. Olmsted, in very entbrtaining manner.

Resolved, That murder aud . arson, cowardly assaults upon honest. and himorahle men, villanous attacks upon the liberty of speech and , the, rights or public 'am} 'private citizTinil,. - persecli,- tton by government authority of .men, for pretended' offenses, are, and ever have, been, the bitter fruits of tyranny and oppression..

Government is entitied;_but,:on the. contrary giving aid and countenance , to their invading and. murderous foe who have been. furnished with arms, and munitions to accomplish the hellish ; objects of murder, robbery, and op-2 pression. • _Resolved,. That op an.issue so plain, and direct, ho,gennine- friend Of Re publan Liberty should refrain from, . - ,expr ssm,g a manly and decided - opin ! - `on, and that Ire who resorts to subter ! fuges and equivocations to justify a. vote in favor of any man,set,of men, , or party, who are not openly and un equivocally pledged against any more: Slave Territory, and in ,favo - r.. of, the immediate admission of Kansas as a. Free State, 'must be either a very ig : nerant person, a seeker after offlce,'nr . • a servile tool -of political demagogues.: - Resolved, That we symp,atbize deep-. ly with that honorable and distinguish-. advocate Of Liberty, Charles - Sumner • , of Massachusetts ; we feel that the . blows which caused • his sulTering, wore aimed at us and, our liberties; wo therefore call upon Congress to . expel the dastardly coward andmur derer •who made the brutal attack. We believe that Congress should main tain its dignity and character by the expulsion of all such sneaking assassins as Preston S. Brooks of South Caro-; lina. Resolved, That the - alarming -en croachments of .the, Slave Power, as indicated in the above resolutions, call for immediate action on the _part of all those who do not intend to permit the free North to become the abject dependents of slavery; •theri3fore we urge and organization: - in each town ship to disseminate the facts, to discuss the most efficient remedy, and to _ se cure united : action in applying that remedy. To this end we request the delegates to this .convention to act as committees in their respective town ships, in calling meetings as soon .as they may think good can be done, and in doing whatever a vigilance com mittee may' properly do to arou'se the North to the danger Which threatens to subdue it.
