' Unparalleled Outrage ]. FREEDOM OF SPEECH ATAN END I! ASSAULT (W BMATOE StTMSKR. Prom TW it. T. Tribhnif’ Waibiiwkw, Tbarsday, May 32,1856. Mr. Sumner was writing unsuspectingly and busily at his desk when attacked by Brooks. The Senate had adjourned early on the announcement of the death of Mr. Miller. Messrs. Brooks and Keitt approached him, each with a cane. Several persons had been about Mr. Sumner's -desk after the’ adjourn* men), hut St the lime chosen for the attack be was a lone.. Mr. Wilson had just led him, on his way out passing Brooks, who was silling in a back seat. Brooks walked up in front of Mr. Sumner and told him that he had read his speech twice, and that it was a libel ori Somh Carolina, and a relative of his, Judge Butler. Without waiting for any reply or ask. ing for any explanation, bjp immediately struck Mr. Sumner a violent blow over the head with his cane, while Mr. Sumoor sat in his sent unable to extricate himself, cutting by the blow a gash, four inches in length on his head. The cane was of gutts percha, an inch in di- Bine'nr. Brooks followed this blow immedi ately with other blows, striking from twelve to twenty in all. Mr. Sumner had no distinct consciousness alter the first blow. He involuntarily strove to rise from his seat, but being lastened by his position, tore up his desk from its fasten ing in the attempt to extricate himself. He staggered under the blows and fell senseless to the floor, being wholly stunned and blind from the first. It is slated by a reporter who was present that Keiit stood by and brandished his cane in keep off others. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Mur ray of the New York delegation were in the front ante-mom, and, hearing the noise, came m. Mr. Murray seized hold of Brooks, who bad now broken his cane into several pieces, and Mr. Morgan went to the relief of Mr. Sumner, whom he found prostrate and near 'v unconscious. The persons present in the Senate were Mr. Sutton, one of the reporters, the Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr. Simon tnn, Senators Crittenden, Iverson, Bright, Toombs Douglas, Pearce, and a few others. No one of the Senators seemed to offer to in terfere but Mr. Crittenden, who pronounced it an inexcusable outrage. Mr. Wilson rushed into the Senate Cham ber on hearing of the attack, but found Mr. Sumner had been removed to the Vice-Presi dent's room", and that a surgeon was in at lendence, He then helped to pul his col league into a carriage and went with him to his lodgings. Mr. Sumner is badly injured, having .two very sevdre cuts on the head. — His condition is considered critical, and his nlivsifcian allows no one to see him. His clothes were literally covered with blood when he was removed. Considerable blood was also spattered on the adjoining desks. ?rom tho New York Day Book, (Administration.) Slavery Exlenslou—The True Issue. The Boston Post says it is a libel on the democracy to say that they are in favor of dlavery extension Well, then, of course they ate opposed to its extension ; so is Gree ley, and Seward, and Hale, and Chase, the men and the party which the Post opposes or assumes to oppose. There is no escape from this conclusion. “ Slavery extension” is the sole question before the country, for Know- Nothingism is merely a galvanized corpse, without life or motion beyond that imparled in it by (he artificial stimuli of political nec romancy , We repeal, " slavery,” negro slavery, and negro slavery extension is the sole question before ihe country, and to be determined in the approaching Presidential election, and as Mr. Senator Seward, above all other public men of Ihe day, embodies the opposition to this slavery extension, the democracy, if op posed to it in common with Mr. Seward, should at once make him President; and the Boston Post, if opposed to the extension of slavery, should join heart and hand in pla cing the man above all others truly embody ing that opposition, in the Presidential chair, for the good and substantial reason that the opposition would be most effective when thus represented. But the Democracy are not opposed to slavery extension, or that which ignorance and delusion term slavery exten sion, and the time is at hand when those who assume to speak for U mudt understand what they are doing in this matter, or they had better hold their tongues, aye, had belter cut out their tongues a thousand time over rath er than thus help to mystify and bewilder, nnd indeed debauch the common sense of the people. Now, what is the position of the northern democracy 7 Are they so ignorant, so stul tified by lies, by preversions of terras, by the inventions, the nick-names of imposture, by the words “ slave” and “ slavery extension,’’ as to fear this issue? Are they such base and cowardly creatures as to permit the curs of abolition, the besotted tools of British ar istocrats, the crazy old women and bewilder ed “ while niggers” of Massachusetts' to de lude or frighten them from their duty—-to permit Garrison, Abbey Kelley & Co. to drive them into hostility to the South —to car ry out the “ schemes” of European mon archists—to war upon southern society —to pen up their negroes—in short to oppose the “ extension of slavery 7” No, indeed a thou sand, a million times no ; (here is not one single democrat in the whole broad North opposed to the expansion of southern society, or so-called extension of “ slavery,” and they only wait to have (he (ruth spoken out, and things called by their right names, to sweep the abolition imposture from the republic, end fo bury its besotted tools in (he profound qat depths— the lowest possible deep of the popblar contempt. • Auttin Steward, a colored man living in Canandaigua, who has been for twenty-two years a slave; is about to publish a Work of two hundred pages, entitled “Twenly-lwo ■years a Slave, and Forty years a Freeman.” The work will be embellished with a por trait of the author, and is tb be furnished to subscribers at one dollar a copy.

York and WaahingtCn to the effect that Lawrence has been burned by the Bdrdcr Ruffians. While we would refrain from crediting every rnrtior, there ia every reason to (ear that some new ontrage lies at the foundation of the tale. If it be true, the news must thrill every freeman’s heart like the alarum of impending war. Words are weak to express the emotions which awake at the thought of the in dignities which are daily offered to Freedom. We need a Hinkt now, to arouse the slumbering ener gies of sn insulted people.. We claim no prophetic Are; but this we dare and do predict, that the friends of free Kansas uvst fight! Gentlemen may talk of treason, but all Governments should draw their Just powers from the consent of Hie gov. eraed; and when a Government attempts to sub vert the rights of the people, it is the duly of the people to abolish it. The man wile counsels sub mission in this crisis is a coward, The old war-cry —“Liberty, or Death !" is the only language ap propriate to fall from the lips of freemen in this cri sis. How many men will dare shoulder their riSes and shout that, in this county 7 How many 7 and how many traitors dare censure them for it 7 “By Authority.”—No. 4. On almost every page ol Mr. Jefferson’s writings we And tltat master mind bearing willing witness against Slavery. You will look vainly in the mis cellaneous works of our worst northern “fanatics” for such oft-recurring and unmistakable testimony against the system as the private and public cor respondence of this great spnslle of Democracy fur nishes. We return to Ms Notes on Virginia, pages 16D—171: 3. 8. P, "With the morals of a people their industry is al so destroyed; for in a warm climate r na man will labor for himself who can make another labor for him. This is so true, that of the proprietors of slaves, a very sraoli proportion indeed, are ever seen to Uhnr. And can the lilreilics *iC a nation U) UlO't secure when we have removed their only firm basis —a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God 7 that they are not to be violated but with bis wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country token I reflect that God is just! that his justice ednnot sleep fore cert that, considering numbers, nature and natural means only, & revola* , lion of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situs lion is among possible events; that it may become probable by supernatural interference I The Al- MIGHTY HAS NO ATTRIBUTE WHICU CAN TAKE SIDES WITH US IN SUCH A CONTEST I” Such is Hie language of a man whose integrity and patriotism cannot be impeached; whose bead and whose heart were each impervious to corrupt influences, and who labored, not for tho aggrandize ment of self, or of the South; but for the glory of America, to the end,- and ever trusting that its peo ple might successfully work out the problem of self government. And now we ask every candid man to write this declaration of Thomas Jefferson side by side with the declarations and public acta of those modern democrats—Franklin Pierce, Arnold Douglas, David Alchinson, Lewis Cass and James Buchanan; and then say which is orthodox and which heterodox; which is pure democracy and which a sham ; which is best declarative of the Re publican Idea and which of the civil polity of a Nero, a Caligula.and a Draco; which conducive to the perpetuity of Freedom and her institutions and which destructive of not only them, but of the best and dearest interests of Humanity. Far those acts are as absolutely unlike as light and darkness, as virtue and vice, as love and bate, as God and mam mon ! And there is no man possessed of common sense and possible honesty, either in this or in any other section, who will attempt to reconcile the acts of tho champions of the Nebraska infamy with the teachings of either Waahiogton, Jefferson, Madison and the younger Adams,or of sny other distinguish ed patriot of early times. If such a man there be, we hereby proffer him ample space in these col umns in which to work the miracle, only reserving the privilege of appending such comments as may be deemed appropriate. We return to the evidence—same book and pages as above, and same connection: “I think a change already perceptible, since the origin of (lie present revelation. (The spirit of the master is abating, that of the slave rising from the dust, liis condition mollifying, the way 1 hope pre. paring, under the auspices of heaven, for a total emancipation, end (hat this is disposed, in the order of events, to be with the consent of UlO masters, rather than by (heir extirpation.” In how far Jefferson’s hopes have been realised let the enthralment of the Frees and the destruction of liberty of Speech, everywhere within Slave do main, testify. Call the Kansas outrages to the wit ness stand; let a Dow, a Brown, a Barber—murder ed for opinion’s sake, testify; let a subsidized Ad ministration,aiding and abetting those mordera and indirectly instigating other butcheries, testify. All these enormities perpetrated for the extension and perpetuity of that very system which all the patriots of the Revolution lamented and denounced! It is almost enough to stagger the most lumfnous faith in God's providences to man. In contemplating the awful strides of Slavery since the morning of the Republic, we only wonder that thousands of oar best and bravest men have not relapsed Into the athdismof Unbelief, in' the place of the few who only have lost all fkilb in tho integrity of Church organisations. The faith of such men is like a re splendent son' always at high' noon.

The slave is robbed of his rights and of the full fruits of his labor; he is at the mer cy of men who are merciless, and into whose name less cruelties Southern courts seldom inquire. And trial by jury, permitted in some of the elave Slates, in so much os the slave is concerned, is the merest sham. The justice of trial by jury is that a man shall be tried by his peers. Is the slave so tried 7 Certainly not. He ie tried by his oppressors—men swayed by the strongest constitutional prejudices against the colored race. Mon who regard tho ne gro as cruel men regard their dogs and horses. Is it reasonable to expect justice or, mercy from such men 7 We think not. Again, to Dr. Price, he comments upon the in consistency displayed by a nation itselT Just released from the bonds of colonial dependence, as follows: “What a stupendous, what an incomprehensible machine is man! who can endure toil, famine, im prisonment, strijies, and death itself, in vindication of his own liberty and the next moment be deaf to all those motives whose power supported him thro’ bis trial, and inflict on his fellow-men a bondage, one hoar of which it fraught with more misery than ages of that which he rose up in rebellion to oppose.” A mare bitter, masterly, stinging sarcasm never fell from mortal lips, than that ih the above extract. Never did so few words so denounce such a glaring inconsistency, never; and had its author lived in this day, and presumed to utter such language even in the Senate chamber, we have, in the recent bru tal assault upon Senator Sumner, a vivid prophecy of his certain reward. We have still more evidence from the same high source, to present which to the public, no pains will be spared. We dnly regret the imiled circulation wc are enabled to give it If the brutal and consequently cowardljj assault oF Mr. Brooks on Senator Sumner, an account of which will be found iti another colbran, does not aroush the North into determined action and eter nal opposition to the SUveorchy, then it will be ob livious to the blast of Gabriel’s trnmp. If men can fold their arras quietly and suffer that slinging in. suit to the free North, offered to her through the person of one of her noblest champions, without a return of that righteous indignation which moved the men of the Revolution, then the cause of Free dom is perished miserably, A Senator, engaged in the discharge of his offi cial duties in the Senate chamber, is set upon by two ruffians and beaten with clubs, while in a posi tion where neither escape nor defence was passible! and for what 1 what was his offence 7 Listen, men of the North : This Senator, Charles Sommer, of Massachusetts, had, in the proper exercise of his privllogp. prpfltim«H fr* ••••«> oT in the Senate Chamber of this Model Republic! ne had dared, when denouncing Opppression, to call ly rants “tyrants!” fraud “yaAunl” and falsehood “SALsEHoon!” And for this, ami /of no other eorlAi !y reason, this unresisting man was set upon una wares by two scions of South Carolina chivalry and beaten nigh to death. Standing near, and refusing to interfere, were such brave then as Toombs and Arnold Douglas—two as gaudily painted hypocrites as ever sat or brawled in the legislative halls of modern Golgotha, And is this to be the fate of the champions of Freedom in high places? Is he that dares to den ounce wrong and to call things by their right names, to be beaten with stripes 7 Freemen—if you would not see the term, from an honorable designation be. come a misnomer, you must resent this indignity, you must wipe out this insult, peacahlj if you can. We do not believe in mobs, nor lynch law, nor in assassination, nor in half-a-dozen men armed to the teeth assaulting a single unarmed man, nor in Dou glas, Toombs, Rust, Brooks, Pierce, Anarcharsis Ciootz, (may his shade forgive us for putting him in bed company I) Moloch, nor in any of the lesser po tentates of the tropical regions of the unmapped Fu ture—in none of these enumerated abominations do we believe; but we have a deep-set, abiding faith in Sharp’s rifles, dry powder and Eternal Justice—in j the former as remedial agents in this crisis, and in the latter as the helper of those who help themselves and the vindicator of Human Rights, and above all, as the only guaranty of the inevitable triumph of Infinite Good over Finite Evil. We are exceedingly pleased to notice the appoint ment of F. B. Pennisun, of the Hmttdalt Democrat, as Associate Judge in Wayne County. We learn that the most prominent members of the Wayne Bar signed his recommendation. We are not a little surprised to find our ancient friend of the Herald thus inferentuily gone over to the ene my, and that enemy Know-Nofhingism. He can •now inveigh against the union of Church with Slats and write hb neighbor down—“ The Honorable, the editor of the Bogus.” He can also warn the Catho lic* that they may look wild for a general massacre at September Court, ns it is probable that “banging for sthaling" will bo the order of the day while the Saint shall continue a judge ip Wayne. Il will be seen from advertisement in another col mran, that Messrs. Risers St, Derious will make an exhibition of their Circna Troupe in this village on .Monday. The little folks are hugely pleated at the proapect, and we suspect that some older hearts beat » little faster therefor, as well.' We consider the Circus, per it, demoralising only as it ministers to a somewhat 'depraved taste fqr feats 6f animal pow 6r; but the surroundings are' not always proper. We have nothing id say alionl the patronage that should, or should not be bestowed. Parents are the proper judges for 'themselves and' their children. Whatever we might volunteer in the way of advice would not afiect the determination of a single man, woman, or child. Onr recollections '■ of the circus are not many, but vivid, owed to a tramp down the granite sides of the floosie mountains and thence some weary miles np the hot and dusty Divnr turn pike to the place of exhibition. Those recollections may be anointed up briefly, as-follow* j Bigtent, squads of rowdies, brawling hoys, over, dremed girls drunken men, swaggering bullies—outside.

The circumstances ara*»f an aggravated character. On Wed nesday afternoon, this Gay Lothario—Sils bee, hired a horse and carriage 1 from Mr. Durfee, packed up his trunk and took it with him, staling to his wife he would return in a day or two; drove around a few of our streets—and by agreement took in the young female passenger, who was in -waiting for him—and away they went, on- route for Illi nois. Towards dark ihoy arrived in Scran ton, and sojourned with ‘mine host’ Kressler, and registered their names as Wmi Brown and Lady,—after supper called for a room and retired for the night. In the meantime the father of the girl, and the father of Sils. bee’s wife learned of the sudden departure of the twain, and fearing that all was not right, started about eight o’clock in pursuit of the fugitives, and arriving in Scranton discov. ered their whereabouts; they then procured a warrant from Josiice Pier, for the arrest of Silsbee, and proceeded lo the room, where by a little stratagem, they got Silsbee to arise from his bed to'open the door,—and to their consternation and shame, in rushed the un* welcome guests I and nothing but the just and righteous veneration for the majesty of the law to punish the faithless husband and foul seducer, prevented them from inflicting snmmary vengeance on the villain. The guilty pair were brought back to this city— (he girl to the bosom of her afflicted parents, and Silsbee, before Alderman Pughe, who decided that he had no jurisdiction, as the offense charged was committed beyond the limits of the city. The prisoner was then taken before L. S. Waters, Esq,, at Blak eley, and after a fair and impartial hearing, was committed to the county jail in default of bail. Constable Wilson accompanied the ‘‘nice young man” and lodged him in (he jail at Wilkesbarre to await his trial at the next Court of Quarter Sessions, there.to ruminate over his folly and vices, and the untold, but heartfelt pangs of a lovely and affectionate wife, and the disgrace that he has heaped up on his family. We do not’wrile this paragraph lo satisfy the cravings of sensual and idle gossip ; but to admonish the yqung men and maidens that the only true course lo pursue, lo enjoy domestic felicity and social happiness, is to think and act upon the principles of strict fi delity and virtue, of integrity and moral rec titude ; cultivate correct principles of thought and action, —they are the only safeguards of the portals of the affections, and as sure as you depart from these principles, remorse, shame, degradation, or a felon’s doom will be your reward.— Curbondnte Journal, . Gen. Jackson on Mh. Buchanan. —We find in the Washington correspondence of the N. Y. Evening Post, an anecdote, which proves that Gen. Jackson, who was a pretty good judge ofhutnan nature, fully understood and appreciated Mr. Buchanan’s character as a political trimmer. The writer says the truth of the following can be proved by un questionable evidence:— “ On the night before leaving Nashville to occupy the While House, Mr. Po'k, in com pany with Gen. Robert Armstrong, called at the Hermitage to procure some advice from the old hero as to the selection of his cabinet. Jackson strongly urged the President elect to give no place in it to Buchanan, as he could not be relied upon. It so happened that Polk had already determined to make that very appointment, having probably of fered the situation to the statesman of Penn sylvania. ' This fact induced Gen. Armstrong subsequently to tell Jackson ihul he had giv en Polk a rather hard rub, as Buchanan had already been selected for Secretary of Slate. ‘*l can’t help it,” said |the old man ; “ 1 felt it my duty to warn him against Mr. Buchan an, whether it was agreeable or not. Mr. Polk will find Buchanan ao unreliable man. I know him well, and Mr. Polk will yet ad mit the correctness of my prediction,’’ It was the last visit ever made by Mr. Polk to (he old hero when (his unavailing re monstrance was delivered, but the new Pres ident long before the end of his administra tion, had reason to acknowledge its propriety and justice; and in the diary kept by him during that period, may still be read a most emphatic declaration of his distrust of Mr. Buchanan.

To School Directors :—Decision No. 11, thp iPqtnphleti copy of the “School Law and Decisions,” does not cor respond with the general practice over the State, and -ik- alsrt found' Id be-errdnedhs to some eneut as a,mallet .of Jaw, inasmuch as it. exempts “trades, occupations and professions” of a less value than lico hundred -dollarSy Loca .taxation, for School purposes. It wqa so regulated lo correspond with the State iax on occupations, but the J29ih and 3.01 h sections of tho School Law adjust the School tax to (he County os well as Slate tax ; and as occcupatiobs under two hundred dollars are pot exempt from taxation for County purposes, it follows as a necessary consequence that they are liable to taxation for School purposes,. The various acts of Assembly, with regard to County tax are ex ceedingly obscure and unintelligible with Re gard to the manner of assessing the tax on occupations; but (he soundest rule of prac tice to be gathered from them will be for l)i -rectors lo assess “occupations” for School purposes at such rate per cent., as the neces sities of the District may require, not exceed ing thirteen mills on the dollar, except where the tax at the rate thus fixed would not amount to fifty cents, in which case it should be fixed at that specific sum, according to the provi so to the 30th section of the School law. Where Ihe duplicate has already been made out, Directors can recall and amend it according to the instructions contained in this circular.
