I A new chapter in the history of Slavery Propagandismr is opeiling upon the coda. I try. And a fearful oho it is.

I born American eitil o FoAor.,ted down like, wile: heasts by rutb l .ass sobs--Iriven from their homes, tte:.id scam of violence, out rage and nvlrdel%—their dwellings pillaged and bora - ed—for no other crime than that the; dared to challenge the right of a Slave .iblitrachY to farce Slavery upon a people Wito loath and detest •it--all this, too, trans ipiring under the unction and authority 'of 1 the National Government ss 'represented in the ruffian gimbal who heads' the mob', in, their lawlessdeedtt—whili the Govern . , , I meat itself turns a deaf ear to every en treaty to interpose its authority for the protection of the citizens of Kansas' and their homei from outrage and destruction! Surely there is enough of fearful import in all this to startle every citizen who has I not gro yen utterly indifferent to the honer and welfare of the Republic. But the outrages in Kansas—violent and indefenaible tie they are—have, their parallel in scones recently enacted at the", federal Capitol, where the same' spirit that is now lighting :upthe flames of civil i war in Kansas, is at work in a .deliberato 1 effort 'te ‘lcrush,out" everything like free thought and free speech. First Holman Gatar.EY is brutally, assailed and beaten i upon the streets of Washington by a pro slavery bully because he dared 'to utter. , through the columns of the Tribune senti ments unpalatable to these "lords of cotton Ints and human cattle," who claim the ex-1 elusive prerogative of decidiog whit shall be said on the subject of Slavery. Next we have a poor, innocent Irishman, a respect- , able man , with a respectable family, delib- oratel,y insulted and shot down, by another prp-slevery,ruffiau, while the whole body of Southern Representatives in Congress, endorse the outrage by voting to suppress investigation, and the murderer is cordi ally welcomed in his usual seat in the Na tional Congress. -And as , though thi s liere not enough to show to the world the true spirit and purposes of - tbe Slave Oli garchy, we to-day chronicle ti, deed of vie. lence in the Senate Chamber, which throws into the shade all that had passed before. •We refer to the assault upon.Senater,SUßl- NMl, of Masiachusetta. - .The detsilVas theywill be lotind in another column,show it to have been as cowardly as it was brutal. Senator Sutonn, while sitting in his taut in the . Senate chamber, unarmed and - in 'a position. precluding ,all poSsibility of de : fence, was suddenly and without notice as .saulted byTazerort S. BROOKE. a mein ber 'of . the Irak, from South Carolina. beaten down and "almost murdered, in the presence .of other Senators, not ono of whom, save Mr. CRITTENDEN, of Ken• tucky,volunteered assistance or a word of sympathy. Re was carried from his seat, ble,eding and insensible, while the dastardly cowardice of Baooits was appro. ved,by his colleagues. And this is South- 1 ern chivalry ! Why none of the "shoulder. hitters and "bruisers . ' who infest the pudica of our large cities, would have dis ' graced themselves. by such an exhibition of cowardice. ,Tom Hyer or Yankee Sul van,would hav,e searriedto strike down an unarmed foe without notice and without opporiunity of defence. The * Honorable [ Sli.littoOse has, however, taught, them a new lesson iu the code of honor--a lesson, we presume, hereafter to be regarded as the legitimate teaching of the vaunted chivalry of , the Slave system I" This last outrage...upon the freedom of debate' has naturally developed an intense feeling of indignation throughout' the Northern States. In nearly till the towns 1 of Now England large meetings. or citizens 1 without distinction of party have been l i held to give utterance' to their sense of, this last actin the new chapter of Slavery Propagandism.. Both branches of the Le• gislatorw of Massachusetts have passed fitting resolves denouncing the outrage up on choir Representative, and calling upon Congress, .CO expel 'the ruffian through whose instrumentality it was liC(3ol3lPlish. WA.* • * While, however, this is going on in the North, a alifferent sotto of feeling exists in the South. Not only is the assault upon Mr. BuslnEtt justified by the Southern press generally,.brit it is ap'proved and ex tolled—the immediate 'constituents'-of 13noosa being now engigcd in the work of getting up .a „ testunottial his "gallant rebuke of Northern fanaticism!! Both Wesel of Congress hav't,eppoint ed Committees of Inveatigilloti, who arc now engaged upon , their datics.'"..-The ra% stilt of their labors will be anxiously look• I ed for. The Conitnitteo: of the House will of course recommend tbe expulsion;of Brooks. But as the Southern delegation voted in solid body against investigation, with the exception of Humphrey Marshall and. Henry W. Hoffman and as it requires a two•third vote to expel, it citti hardly bp hoped that the. House will he able. to rid . themselves of the ruffian who, has thus outraged tho sentiment of the nation, and. disgraced the National Legiilature. 1 3 ; Come what may, the North will have learned a salutary lessen from. these out rages in Kansas.and at Washington, which may be of service.

Resolved—That the present National Ad-. ministration, by the exercise of an unwarrantiol .ble influence in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, at the instance of selfish and sec• tional politicians ;by the removal of honest. and competent men from offices .of honor and trust in order that their places might be filled by inefficient and corrupt partizans;_ by refus ing to protect the freemen of Kansas in the en joyment of the rights designed to be secured to them by the Constitution and laws of the U.

Resolved—'that we regard the pandering of any party to Foreign influence as fraught with . manifold evil to the country, threatening the stability of our institutions and endangering the revels of the people by a contact with the ; paupers and felons cast upon our Shores from the hospitals and prisons of Europe. Resolved—'that, as American Liberty del peas for its preservation on the intelligence of the people, universal education is the first duty of the State, and that all attempts byl, whomsoever made, or from whatsoever quarter; instigated, to destroy suibh a beneficent system by perverting it to sectarian purposes, or op posing its progress and extension, because it : is not the instrument of inculcating any par ticular religious creed, ought to be resisted, as fraught with incalculable mischief and evil.
