DOLLAR PER ANNUM INVARIABLY IN ADVANCE. TOWANDA: jlinrsDao fltorntnn, irbrncni 18, 1858. E. O. GOODRICH. EDITOR. MR. KEITT APOLOGISES. In tiie House, on Monday, Mr. KEITT rose to cuke a personal explanation, as follows : Mr KEITT rose to a persona! explanation, ttviog tlii-' House would remember that its ■ livecdings during the session of Friday were broken in upon in an unpleasant manner. It ra< due to fair dealing that he should assume T> himself all the responsibility for the viola tion of its order, dignity and decorum. He was the aggres-or, and whatever of responsi ble properly attached to that act, belonged to him alone. It was also due to justice that ihonld make whatever reparation it was in to, power to the dignity and decorum of the House thus violated. He did this in the ex pression of his profound regret at the occur rence. Personal collisions are always unplea *nl, very seldom excusable, rarely justifiable, i*rer in a legislative body. He felt in full force the responsibility which he assumed, in sayiug he was the aggressor—and that the en ure responsibility properly belonged to him. In this connection he had but one oilier remark loffiahe, and that was whether any blow was DIRECTED at him or not, was more than he roultl say ; at least, he was unconscious of hving received it. With this explanation he rarted from the subject. Mr. GROW said he had been taught in child -1 that all hghts among men are disgrace ful to hufMr: nature, and to the Christian com rrcnity. and this is especially the case when •vv occur among law-makers in the midst of :• r deliberations. Hi per YEARS, and the force location,- had satisfied him that this les- I- VAS good and true, yet the riglit Of self- WF:ce he recognized as one of the inaliena > rights of man, to LE exorcised on all occa- Uns and under all circumstances. whenever RE.xssary for tfie protection of life r m projier •v At THE last sifting of the Itortsc he fonnd -elf unexpectedly engaged in the first pcr- S-'L conflict of the session.

We should deplore this affray, did #tf not think its consequences in the futnre would be most happy. There is such a maxim as con quering a peace. It needed just such an oc currence to show the Southern men that they have a mistaken idea of the prowess and spi rit of Northern representatives. The prompt reseutmeut and plnck of GROW, and fbe gal lant onset of P -JTTF.R, the WASHBURXS'S, and others who dashed into the midst of the excit ed Southern group, will not be forgotten, nor fail iff be appreciated. We have no fear? that such a scene will again be provoked. It has been customary, iu the past, in order to I awe and subdue the North, to talk about "the ■ halls of Congress being deluged with blood," by exasperated and sanguinary Southern mem bers. There never was such a fair opening : for that terrible result, as presented itself on i this occasion. A Southern man knocked down I —nnd a body of Northern men invading the portion Of the House occupied by Southern ers, with hostile demonstrations, might have provoked a bloody conflict. But instead, we i have an immediate cessation of hostilities, and the singular spectacle is presented, of the Sou thern men, going over to the Republicans, ex plaining and apologizing, and a general and hearty good feeling immediately resuming its sway. That Mr. GROW is entirely blameless in the affair, is universally conceded by all part'tr. We know that his political opponents here ap plaud his spirit and pluck. If there is any . fault found, it is with the forbearance he ex ereised towards the insolent and drunken black guard. who evidently sought an opportunity to insult and assault him. As proud as his constituents have been of the ability which lie has displayed iu Congress, this affair has heightened their admiration of him, for it proves him to be a man who " knows his j rights, and knowing dure defend them." It i? uot that he felled the ruffian to the floor, but that he has shown that he pos-es-es the kind of spirit which the North is anxious to ?t-e her Representatives exercise, in not submitting to j dictatorial bellying. fctr-Th: attempt, on the part of the Frta". dent, and the Democratic leaders, to make Le compton a party test, is already producing its legitimate ccnseqireneesr. A portion of the party, headed by Douc.i. ts, WALKER and FOR | SEY refttrc to aid in forcing upon tiie jieople j of Kuusas that iniquitous scheme, and pro -1 ft-ssing ureat reverence for the doctrine of "pop ! ular sovereignty"* inci.-t that it shall te fui'y ' and fairly applied. On the other hand, the Administration and its sattelites, are making pretty free use of the party whip, cracking it fiercely over the heads of those who are not willing to aid CALAOIW in tbe scheme to de fraud and disfranchise the people of Kansa?. The party organs are denouncing and reading out of the party all those who do not support tbe Administration measure erf admitting Kan sas with the Lecompton Constitution, and pro nouncing them to be renegades, traitors, Black • Republicans, Ac, Ac. One of the most virulent, violent and un scrupulous of all the Administration print?, is the Prnttsylcanian. Not a spark of Northern feeling ever animate* the breasts of its cewdoe tcrs.wiio seem endeavoring to find that " lower deep" of iiifa;i?y and subserviency by tracking and pandering to the slave power. It freely denounces FORNEY and those democrats who | oppose the trx-indle, as " Black Republicans" —a term which the ren uJcj- HJ supposes i* an extinguisher.

Ostracised and proscribed by the Ad ministration, and denounced by its pimps, they are consigned by the faithful to rank? of the " Black Republicans." How they are to become reconciled, is beyond our compre hension. That the fued will enter into the comiug election, cannot be prevented. Tlie editor of the I.yci mivg Gazette, in speaking of the affray iu Congress, says '• Mr. GROW is from the fourteenth district of Pennsylvania—better known as the " Wilmot district"—and is a red-hot abolitionist." This remark of the Go3//c editor only shows 1 what a wide diversity of meaning n given to ' this " wolf" term of Abolitionist. In the eyes of the Washington I'nion and the I'envsyl ravinu, the GoreM-ismi " Abolition,"" Black Republican " sheet, and the Democrats of Ly coming, who recently denounced the Lecomp ton swindle, are in the same category, and recreants and traitors to the Democratic faith. The Onztite and the Democrats of Lycoming, j will soon experience, if they have not already learned, that it is a very easy way to UrtfWer arguments by crying out abolitionist—and a Ten common way, too, to stigmatize and de nounce a man who refuses to go all lengths for the South. Mr. GROW is no more an abolitionist than the editor of the Gazelle, Gov. PACKER, Sena tor DOUGLAS, or ar.y other freeman who dares to oppose the attempt to force ujion the peo ple of Kansas a Constitution against their will. In the estimation of the Gazette he may l.p : but a-; the standard changes with different lo calities—we haTC no objection to the appli cation of n term, which is just as freely ap j plied by the National Administration satellites , to all in tbe petition occupied by the gentle- ' man above named.

As he tfas going down, GROW GITVE him au emphatic shove between the shoulders, which caused him to strike hcitd foremost, with his hethf Upwards,, presenting to the gallefies the ttfipt-iirsuce of a man trying to plunge through the floor of the House into the vaults beneath. A hundred accounts of this affair have gone out. The above I give on the very best au thority. The daveliolding version of Kzirf's fall is, that HE tripped ami fell. HE WAS KNOCKED DOWN #T GROW. And now the mclet became general. As KEITT fell, GROW was seized by half-a-dozen Southerners, among whom was BARKSDALE, of Mississippi. They assert that their sole ob ject das to stop the fight. Some believe them. But, in the twinkling ot an etc, from forty to fifty Republicans came dashing across the half to the scene of the encounter, beaded by JOHN le. POTTER, Of Wisconsin, who leapt into the midst of the fight, ht the side of GROW, with the hound cf a tigef, and com i me need hitting f>£ht and left mnemg th? pa- I triarchs with great vigor. 3fot exactly appre ciating the pacific nature of BARKSDALE'S dem onstration. POTTER gave him two or three " settlers,'' tvhich B.?RK3uci.t, in the pell-mel! gcSng around him, supposed wfcre dealt by EU'FFC WASHHTKN'E —who jut then happened !to be in the vicinity—whereupon Patriarch BARKSDALE set himself in hostile array against Puritan Ktritt". Jnst at thi* jonCtote the mass i of belligerents and |*aee-?nakera were crowding between BARKSDALE and POTTER, the latter in the meantime having seized the former by the hair —which, by tne by. proved not to be the bona fide hair of the said BARKSDALE, but a wig, which the said POTTER had torn off, and for the time being converter! to his owu n>e. CADWALI.ADER C. WASHBCRME, of \Viacousin, (these WASIIBLRV.S afe ail " bloods, seeing the bald BARKSDALE in conflict with his brother EUHC, felt his paternal spirit stirred within him, and rushing upon BACKS DALE, brought down one or two blows "on the top of his head where the wool ought to grow." What became of KEITI after GROW set the law of gravity in motion upon him, nobody seems able to tell, except KEIIT himself—and ihe won't. The that was seen of him af ter his headlong plunge, he WHS sitting on a sofa, in ft safe corner of the hall, pale and hag gard, looking Tike a whipt roOster tfho feels , no disposition to " go in " and reuew the fight. All this time the Speaker was calling loud ly to " order," rapping incessantly with his i gave!,- gnd shouting for the Sergeant-at-Arms. j This colossal functionary seized the mace i (which looks like an Indian war-club, with a : sirraH nreta'ic eagle perched IhereOu ) and ! Tushed among the struggling, surging, tossing j members. For r En, seeing a big fellow with a I bl edge on joining in the meUt, was aboat to ' wrench it out of hia hands, when the shrill | toice of the speaker (Col. Oer has a voice ' like a steam whistlr,; urging on the Sergeant, suggested that the individual might be GLOSN- I BRENNER, whereupon he struck out in another | direction. PUTTER is an athletic, withy man, ! at home ht n " muss." He got one or two hard hits hinrse'f, trhieh he promptly repaid on . the pot ; and it is believed that the Chivalry will g-re him a wide berth during the remain der of the session. In the thickest of the fight was seen Parma LOVFJOY and Quaker MI/TT, draggling to keep the peace ; though there was a lurking glance iu LOVFJOY'S eye. Which tended to prove, that on due provocation, he would, like him of old, try his hand at blowing Agag iu pieces before the Ixird. As evidence c* the spirit which pervaded the free men in the hall, I will relate a sceno which is said to have occurred Itctween MONT GOMERY of Pennsylvania, and BOCOCK of Vir ginia. Their scats adjoiu, and are near the spot of the encounter. MONTGOMERY is a Douglas lA-raocrat, an able lawyer, and a qui et. gentlemanly person. BOCUCK is a good hearted fellow, but lie feels the blood of the Virginia F. F.'s coursing rd? reins. As HARES DALE seized GROW. MONTGOMERY started to wards the ni-ie. BAR OCK seized him by the arm. Turning fiercely upon him— M. is a very large man—he said to 8., (you may fiii the blank with a most intense phrase,) " Let get my arm. . or I'll knock you down V— BOCOCK abstained. Some hands were laid 0:1 knives and pistols. But, none were drawn.
