Union Couitly Meeting

of a hearty, cordial union against the mis
erable dermigogues, wbo h s ive prostituted
the administration of the 'National ,Gov

tisauship and selfish purpoie. It was, a
gratifying and hopeful popular demonstra
tion. The proeeedings,will -be found •in

. ,
We invite a careful scrutiny of the' primal:
plea laid down - as the, basis ;upon which
the freemen of Adams : county are asked
to unite in , doing,battle against a common
foe. Not a disseating voice was uttered
ddring the entire deliberetions of the meet
ing, entire harmony,of ,feeling characteri
zing all the proceedings. All expression
of preference on the Presidential question
was wisely avoided, except to affirm an ear
nest desire telpaite on'skino.aceetliside and;
available candidate., Ter promato this end,
provision - was made for the appointment
of delegates to the, pbiladelphia National
Convention, to miserable on tho 17th, of
Juno. Much _will depend on the action
of • that Convention,,and the American
Convention to meet -in New York a few
days .earlier. Should both Conventions
(tube on a good and true man, it will con
tribute much to the volution of the tliinettl

question. The action of these Conventions
will bo looked to with intense anxiety.—
Come what may, we must stand , united:on

The Outrages In -Kansas nod

. , ,
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. If Northern freemen

by violence and fraud, slavery upon Kansas.

upon the soil, to offices of trust and honor, .asl

And whereak.agreement in principle is the

Resolved—That, animated by the true spirit
of coneession, we will, Upon the basis of those';
principles upon which we are mutually agreed,
cordially unite in the support of the candidates
to be nominated at a regular delegate Conven-1
tioa to be officially called for that purpose.: !
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

showing itself powerful for mischief, but feeble i
..in the maintenance of laws, for the protection j
of the people and the honor of the Country—.
has justly forfeited all claim to the confidence;
and respect or the honest-voters of Adams
County. /
Resolved—That we will use all honorable,:
means to check the evils inflicted upon the
Country by the unjust bud sectional measures
adopted by the present National' Administra

tronage. ; that we are utterly opposed to the'
admission into the Confederacy, of Slave states ;
formed out of territory once consecrated to
Freedom ;mid also to the existence of Slavery
in any of the Territories of the United States.
Resolved—That we cordially disapprove of,
the interference of Foreign influence of every?
kind in our civil and political affairs ; and are !
equally hostile to the interference of the gov
ernment or people of the United States in the'
affairs of 'other nations, regarding any such
• interference as unwise and in. direct conflict
with the recommendation of Washington's
Farewell Address, which inculcates with em
phatie earnestness the propriety'of avoiding
the adoption of any policy which might involve
us in uprblitable and dangerous controversies j
with foreign nations.
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.
Resolved—That in order to bring about
ef
ficiency and ensure a united, harmonious and'
energetic effort' throughout the County the 1
.Chriiiman of this Convention be instrneted to I
appoint a County Committee consisting of 15 i
member; which Committee shall have full

of this Republic hostile to the policy of the Na-
Coital Administration, and sincerely hope that .1
' we may yet be able to ;.unite .barmoniously

Congress and the Country,
Freedom of speech is a moot sacred right,
guarantied by the Constitution, and must be
atialtuaincd at all hazards, and under all •eir-
Ciimstances ; and he who would call it in tines:-
tion by taking the law in his own hands, Mak=
ing a brutal attack upon a Senator. for words
spoken in debate, is a foe to our Republican in:-
stitutiont, and a tyrant at heart, who would
only need to be clothed with the power, to over
turn theopstitution and destroy our Govern
ment. That this violent and brutal attack was
one of the.most flagitious wrongs 'ever perpe
trated at the Capitol of our nation, and slowed
an utter disregard of decoriin on the part of
the perpetrator, which, whilst it should make
him amenable to the extreme sentence of the
laws, should also brand him forever with in•

answered them promptly, and briefly ex
cused myself for the reason that I. was
much engaged. When the last of these
persons left me, I drew my arm-chair close
to my desk, and with my legs under the
desk, continued writing. My attention at
this time Was so entirely drawn from all
,ther objects, that although there must
aye been Many persone,in the Senate, I
saw nobody. While thus interested, with
my head bent over my writing, I was ad
dressed by a porsun, who approached the
front of my desk, so entirely unobserved
that I was not aware of his presence 'until
my name was pronounced. As I looked I
up, with my pen in band, I Aaw a little
man, with whose countenance I was not fa
miliar, standing directly over me, and at
the iiance trthinitif Lest/gilt these words, "I
have road your speech twice over careful
ly. It is a libel on South Carolina, and
Mr. Butler, who is a relative of mine."—
While these words Were still passing from
his lips ho commenced a succession of
blows with a heavy cane on my bare head
by the first of which I was so stunned, as
to lose my sight. Ino longer saw lib..
salient, nor any other person or object in
the room. What I did afterwards was
done almost unconsciously acting under
the instincts of self "
defence. With my
cad already bent down, I rose from my
seat, Avrenehing up my desk, which was
screwed to tho floor, and then pressing for
ward while my assailant continued his blows
I have no-other consciousness until I found
myself ten feet forward, in front of my
desk, lying on the floor of the Senate, with
'my bleeding head supported on the knee of
a gentleman, whom I soon recognized by
voice and manner to be Mr. Morgan, of
New York. Other persous there were a.
bout me offering friendly assistance ' but I
did not recognize any of them. Others
there were at a distance looking and offei
ing uo aasistance, of whom .I only, recOg
isized Mr.. Douglas, of 111., Mr. Tombs, of
Ga. and I thought, also, my assailant,
shit:ding between them. I was helped
from the floor and conducted into• the lob
by of the &mate, where I was placed upon
a sofa. Of those who, helped me there, I
have no recollection. ' As I enterea the
lobby I recognized Mr. Slidell, of Louisi
ana, who retreated, but I recognized no
one else until I felt a friendly 'grasp of the
hand, which seemed to wide from Mr.
Campbell. of Ohirr: I have a vague int-
Fression that. Mr. Bright, the P r e s ident o f
the Senate, spoke to me while I was on
the floor of the Senate or in the lobby.—
I make this statement in answer to the in
terrogatory of the Committee, and offer it
as presentmg completely all my 'recolloz
dons of the assault and of the attending
circumstances, whether immediately be
fore or immediately after. I desire to add,
that besides the words wilieh I have given
as uttered by my assailant, I have an in
distinct recollection ocihe-words .gold man,"
but these are so enveloped in the mist
which ensued from the first blow, that I
am not sure whether they-were uttered or
not.
On croes•oxamination Mr. Sumner sta
ted that he was entirely without arms of
any kind, and that he had no notice or
warning of any kind, direct or indirect, of
this assault.
In answer to another •question, Mr.
Sumner replied that what he had said of
Mr. Butler was strictly responsive to Mr.
Butler's speeches. according , to the usages
of Parliamentary debate. . ,
