It ia nothing uncommon to hear Locofoco
papers charging those oppo&ed to the Pierce
Democracy with acting inconsistently, and
claiming that the Democratic is the only up
right and straightforward party in the country.
These are, however, mere asseverations, un
accompanied by substantiating testimony. It
is thought, on the other hand, that the char
ges which they are so ready to make against
others, might perhaps be more applicably made
against their own party. During the last eight
or ten years, the course pursued by the De
mocracy of Pennsylvania, on the slavery ques
tion, has been such as can, we think, reason
ably be termed inconsistent. In 1849, a reso
lution was adopted by them in their State Con
vention, in which they "re-declare that slave-
ry is a domestic and local institution of the
South, subject to State legislation alone,
and with which the general government has
nothing to do. 'Wherever the State law es
tends Its jurisdiction, the local institution
can continue to exist. Esteeming it aviola
' tion of State rights to carry it beyond Slate lim
M its, tee deny the power of any citizen to extend
" the area of bondage beyond iti present domin
n ion, nor do tee consider it a part of the compro-
mises of the Constitution that Slavery should
"forever travel with the advancing columns of
" cur territorial progress." That is what the
Democracy of this State said in 1813. Read it
and ponder it ss yon may, It cannot be regard
ed in any other light than as Freesoil doctrine,
or, as they are pleased to term it, "rank Abo
litionism." By the mass, and 'tis like a
camel, Indeed."
In 1854, the Democratic party in Pennsylva
nia tacked about a little, relying "upon the
compromise of 1350 as a final adjustment of
"the vexed and dingerous question," and in
1S55 "recognized no geographical lines be
tween North and South," declared that the in
terests of all parts of the Union were the same
to them, and recognized "in its widest extent
the principle of popular sovereignty in the
territories." This position was regarded, at
that time, as problematical in its meaning, and
was evidently designed to gull both Xoi thern
and Southern voters. . In fact, "it is backed
like a weasel '."
- But it was in 18oG. the present year, that
the Pennsylvania portion of the "great nation
al Democratic party" took the leap which
landed them in the midst of the siough of Sla
very propjgandism. At their State Conven
tion, held some time since, they resolved,
that In the repeal of the act known as the
Missouri Compromise act, and the passage
of the act orgaii-'zio.i; the territories of Xan
cas aad Nebraska, free from unconstitutional
. resirictionfl. the hut Congress performed a
" work ; ot patriotic sacrifice in meeting the
, demands of sectional excitement, by unaha
" ken adherence to the fundamental 1-j.w."
If they would have said that "a work of pa-
. Iridic sacrifice" had been performed by meet
icg the demands of the Slave power, the idea
would have been better expressed. "A vork
of patriotic sacrifice," indeed, which Las been
the cause of ail the troubles in those territo-
tics, of thj destruction of private property,
And f the shedding of innocent blood in
'Kansas, and which has brought our country
to the verge of civil war. And this is sanc
tioned by the Democracy of this State I And
'Low, in doing this, does their position accord
with the view they held in 1849 1 Of a trpth,
it is now "very liki a whale !"
The News raoa Kansas must strike every
reader with tho utmost astonishment. That
the people of a territory in this free land of
onrs should be hnnted down and shot like wild
beauts, their towns burned and their property
destroyed by a horde of non-resident ruffians
and desperadoes, who have attempted to force
their law3 upon them, and who are backai up
in this attempt by the President, is too gross
ly outrageous to pass without condemnation.
It is a notorious fact that the citizens of Law
rence informed the TJ. S. Marshal that no re
s:tce would be made to any process which
he might wisato serve, and asked him to pro
. tct their Uvea and property. And yet, after
. testing their Bubuaisslveness by making aever

CAUSE OF THE KANSAS TROUBLES.
What ia the cause of the present trouble in
Kansas t The immediate cause may be stated
ia few words. II arises from an ; attempt to
subdue American citizens Into obedience to
usurped power, r'
All the power exercised by the Border Ruf
fian Legislstare over the people of Kansas was
usurped. Its members vera elected tot by
the ballots of actual citizens, but by armed in
vaders, who marched into the territory In or
ganized companies, took possession of the
ba'.lot-bosos, elected their own men, and then
marched out. This appears to be true of that
Legislature as a body, with perhaps not more
than one ' exception. To "require submission
on the part of the people of Kansas to such a
body, would be, in effect, to deprive them of
all rights, and cast tbc-ci on the mercy of men
placed over them by the Missouri invaders.
The Tree-State inhabitants of Kansas have
shown themselves to bo in aa eminent degree
forbearing. The officers appointed legally
over them by tho General Government have
been recognized as such and respected. The
people have submitted to the authority of those
officers, even in cases where the only oltiect of
the officer and authorities soemed to be one of
vexation and oppression. If at any time they
have resisted the officers of the General Gov
ernment, it has been when prompted by self
defence or absolute necessity. But the author
ity of the Border Ruffian Legislature no free
man of Kansas could acknowledge without
bowing to usurped power and virtually making
himself a slave. If the people of Kansas
would bow submissively to snch a yoke, we
might well tremble for the country. When
American citizens learn to yield without a
murmur to usurpation and tyranny, the spirit
of liberty is gone.
The same thing was the immediate cause of
the W2r of the Revolution. A usurped power
of imposing taxes was attempted to be en
forced upon our ancestors. The attempt was
resisted, and that resistance was right. Now
it is attempted by tho Slave power, through
the border ruffians and their abettors, to uscrp
the power, not only of taxation, but of Impo-
sing all law upon the freemen of Kansas.
bnall it bo done ?
THE SEATING ATFAIS.
The American Celt, an Irish paper, devotes
much space to tho tilling of Keating, at Wil
lards hotel in Washington City, by Mr. ITer
bert, a Congressman from California. Refer
ing to the vote by which Herbert was shielded
from investigation, the Celt says :
Now, in relation tothatdivision on Herbert's
case, we have a duty to perform, and we shall
not shrink from discharging it. That duty is
to announce, in unmistakable terms, to the
adopted citizens of Irish birth throughout the
country, that the Democratic party in Congress
have shamefully deserted thHr duty, deserted
their own professions of impartiality between
different classes of citizens, and "that thev
have, as plainly as deeds can speak, declared
the murder of a man of Irish birth by one of
their colleagues to be a trifle wholly unwor
thy even of inquiry. Is the Democratic par
ty mad, or is it only rotten, that it should so
belie itself? With half a dozen exceptions,
every man oi me majority lor Keating's mur
derer is a professed "Democrat." What then,
does it mean 1 Or can it mean anything but
one thing that an Irishman born, however
peaceable, or loyal, is only fit to be used by
the Democratic party, and when nsed, set up
for a target, and shot with impunity. This is
what it means, and to this meaning we shall
hold the entire party.
We hold Mr. Pierco, Mr. Douglas, and Mr.
Euchanan responsible for this conduct of their
confidants and supporters. They were all iu
Washington ; it was for days the topic of the
town; if their friends have taken sides against
the victim and against common justice, they
are not wholly above suspicion. A few days
ago the blood of Thomas Keating was on the
hands of but one Democrat ; it has spread
since then, and it is now upon the souls of
the 79, who refused all inquiry. It is on the
Democratic party, and accirsed be he who
helps such a party into power, until that blood
is lawfully purged away.
Let t.'iem not suppose this matter is going
to drop here. One who seldom drops anything
has it note in hand, and he distinctly warns the
Democratic Reprrsentatives at Washington, that
if justice is not done on the murderer, Herbert
they ivili bs held accountable, as the party who
interposed to screen and protect him from the
penalty of his guilt."

THE ASSAULT OS KK..8TOINEE.
The West Chester Republican, an orthodox
Democratic paper, indulges in the following
sensible remarks in speaking of tho recent as
sault on Mr. Sumner. It is really gratifying
to see a paper that can speak out without
being biassed by party predelictions. It
says :
'Elsewhere we -give the particulars of a
disgraceful as3inlt on Senator Sumner by Mr.
Brooks, of South Carolina. What are we
coming to 1 These scenes of ruffianism at the
Natioual Capital are fulfilling the worst pre
dictions of the despotic foes of our free in
stitutions. The enemies of republican liber-
i ty ia Europe will saiile with satisfaction when
they read the particulars of this new outrage.
We hope the House of Representatives will
vindicate the violated honor of the country
by sending Mr. Brooks home to his constitu
ents, aud asking them to supply his place
with a gentieman, entertaining better ideas of
propriety. The recent speech of Mr. Sum
ner has been a very Inflammatory one, but not
a whit more so than those to which he was re
plying. There is, therefore, no justification
at this point, for the assault."
We annex a few more paragraphs to show
how the assault is regarded in different. sec
tions of the country.
From the Phil'a. Daily San.
'Wuo Spoke Offensivelt? We have heard
two or three Democrats say that Senator Sum
ner's speech was full of outrageous personal
ities, but such men would say anything to ad
vance their party interests. Now, what are
the facts ? Mr. Sumner was caustic, but not
personal; he spoke of Senators and South
Carolina politically, but Douglas said of Mr.
S., "it is his object to provoke some of us to
kick him as we would a dog ia the street, that
he may get sympathy npon the just chastise
ment!'' And be then for the second time
charged Sumner with intentional perjury, and
called him and his associates in the Senate
"negro worshippers." Mr. Mason, a gen
teeler ruffian than Douglas, but a conceited
and inflate'd Virginian, superciliously spoke
of the necessity of associating with Mr. Sum
ner in the Senate Chamber, whose touch he
would elsewhere regard as pollution. Now
our opinion is that Charles Sumner suffers the
moit by his compulsory associations with such
men as Douglas and Mason, and we think nine
tenths of the American people will agree with
us. Mr. Sumner has added to our national
reputation at home and abroad as a scholar,
orator and statesman ; Douglas ha3 been one
constant source of mortification to all decent
men in Washington, and Mason has noj-eputa-tion
beyond the Democratic party."
Prom the LouUville Journal.
"The idea of using a bludgeon upon a Sen
ator for making a speech against a State is
monstrous. A score of South Carolina mem
bers of Congress within the last few years
have used their whole power of abuse and vi
tuperation against Massachusetts, and as many
Massachusetts members have exercised them
selves upon South Carolina. A pitched bat
tle has long been raging between the cham
pions of those two States, and generally the
harshest and most offensive language has come
from the South Carolinians, who don't like to
be out done in anything.. What Sumner may
have said about Senator Butler we know not,
but we think that the old Senator, who is quite
as Hery hearted as he is white-headed, wquld
scorn tho thought of letting any younger man
take a quarrel with an abolitionist off his
hands. We happened to be in tho Senate
Chamber near the close of the last session of
Congress during one of tho nig!:t discussions
of all manner of slavery questions. Judge
Butler, w ho is really a gentleman of many fine
an J generous personal qualities, had become
exceedingly elated from frequent visits to the
Senatorial Restaurant. Sumner was making
a severe speech that evidently had reference
to the forcible expulsion of Mr. Hoar, a ven
erable citizen of Massachusetts, from the lim
its of South Carolina, but he did not mention
South Carolina's name. Mr. Butler interrup
ted him by asking ia a fierce tone, "does he
mean South Carolina 1" Sumner proceeded
without noticing tha interruption. "I de
mand," exclaimed Butler, starting again to
his feet, "whether he means South Carolina ;
for, if lie does, let him say so, and I will give
biru something to make hini remember me and
South Carolina as long as he lives.'-r Suia
ner still proceeded quite imperturlably, be
stowing no attention upon his excited oppo
nent just in front of him. "Docs ho mean
South Carolina?" ejaculated Butler for the
third time. "Yes, I do mean South Carolina,"
thundered Sr.mner with more spirit than wc
had .thought .an abolitionist could possess.
He finished his speech without any further in
terruption, and Butler arose to reply, but the
fine old South Carolina gentleman was too
far gone to be half equal to the tremendous
occasion. We repeat tho expression of the
hope, that, however obnoxious Sumner may
justly be to the patriotic portion of the peo
ple of the United States,, tho House of Rep
resentatives will promptly expel Brooks if the
account of his assault upon tho Massachusetts
Senator shall prove correct. Indeed the
House of Representatives, it seems to us,
would be guilty of tho grossest and most
shameful dereliction of duty to the Senate if
it, were to refuse to punish ono of its own
members lor knocking down a Senator uron
for words said iu a

Destruction of Lawrence confirmed
Plight of Citizens Gen. Pcmroy, it
. ia feared, hung by a Mob.
The Chicago Trioawe publishes an extra,
based upon Intelligence brought by three men
directly from Lawrence. They state that a
company of mounted men made their appear
ance near Lawrence on Wednesday tho 21st
ult., where they halted until reinforcements
had increased their number to 400 men. They
bore flag3 and banners, with various mottoes
and devices, but no United States flag.
: During the forenoon the Committee of pub
lie safety of Lawrence dispatched a messenger
with a note to Marshal Donaldson, who headed
the force, assuri!ig"li!m that the citizens would
mako no resistance to any process to might
wish to serve, and asking protection for their
lives and property. The Marshal made no re
ply, but at 11 o'clock he sent a Deputy Mar
shal with a posse of ten men into the town.
The Deputy summoned four of the citizens to
assist in making arrests, and took G. W. Deitz
ler and G. W. Smith prisoners.
The Deputy Marshal Laving thus tested the
willingness of the citizens to respect his au
thority, went, with his posse, to the Free State
Hotel and dined, after which they removed
the prisoners without molestation.
Soon after this Sheriff Jones male his ap
pearance with eighteen men, and demanded
that all the public 8nd privata arms in the
town be given up, giving the people Ave min
utes to accede to his demand, and threatening
in case of refusal to storm the town. He did
not attempt to make any arrests, but said he
came for the purpose of obtaining the arms.
Ono field piece was given up in answer to
the deniuud, but the citizens refused to sur
render their private arms.
Jones then left, and in half an hour ufter re
turned with an overwhelming force and two
pieces of artillery, with which he commen
ced cannonading the Free State notel and
the Herald of Freedom printing office.
Col. Eldridge, the owner of the hotel, con
ducted himself with much independence, and
when he fonnd they were determined to des
troy his house, informed them that he had
over five thousand dollars worth of furniture
ia it, and that Le should not move one dollars
w orth of it. The mob took out a little of the
best furniture; the remainder was left. The
house was then burnt.
A correspondent of the .V. I". Times, under
date of Lawrence, May 22, writes that the
town was completely sacked by the executives
lawless mob. They destroyed both printing
offices and threw the materials into the river.
Every house was broken into, every trunk
torn open, money, clothes, books, keepsakes,
provisions, all taken away or scattered through
the streets. All this was done in the name of
the Government, as they claimed to be search
ing for Sharp's vifles. They stole horses last
night, and burned Gov. Robinson's house.
They set a guard around it to protect the fire
till it was well kindled, and then ran into camp.
It is feared, Gen. Pomeroy has been hung
by the mob. Threats have been made to hang
Robinson, Brown and Deitzler.
Gov. Reeder arrived at Chicago on the 28th.
The citizens of Chicago held a meeting the
same evening and took some steps towards
sending succours to the Free State men in
Kansas.
Dr. Root and Mr. Mitchell, of New Haven,
were murdered by a posse, ten miles from

Cincinnati Convention Temporary
Organization An Uproar.
Cincinnati, June 2. At a quarter before 12
o'clock the signal gun announced that the
Convention had comnienccd'to assemble. ' It
was called to order at 12 o'clock byR.M.
Lane, of Maryland.
Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, nominated Sam

which was unanimously carried.
Mr. nail, of Massachusetts, called for the
reading of ths call for the 'Convention, and
whilcthc call was being read by Mr. English,
of Indiana, a sudden upioar occurred at the
door, followed by the crowd rushing in fight
ing, and the direst confusi-on en?ued.
It was finally discovered that the Benton del
egation from Missouri had resolved to enter by
violence, and carried their intention into effect
by knocking down the doorkeeper, and enter
ing pe:l-mell, headed by Ex-Gov. Price.
. For a few minutes, a scene of confusion im
possible to describe ensued, the members
jumping over chairs, and it seemed p.s though
a serious riot was about to take place. After
awhile quiet was restored, and the reading of
the call was proceeded with.
Mr. McLane, of Maryland, statod that when
the credentials of the Missouri delegates were
presented, the Committee of Arrangements
gave tickets of admission to the delegates
which presented prima facie evidence of their
election, and refused the others.
New York was represented by two sets of
delegates, but as the Convention could not de
cide which were entitled to scats, declined to
give tickets to either, unless an arrangement
could bo effected em on 2 themselves, "as was
done In th case of the Mississippi delegation.
Samuel Medary, on taking tho chair, return

The Rev. M. Nicholson, of Cincinnati, then
opened the proceedings with prayer.
