Everywhere in the North, the press and the people are unanimous in their condem nation of the brutal and cowardly assault upon Senator Simmer by tho ruffiualv vil lain. Brooks, of South Carolina. The time is at hand when the North will no longer submit tamely to outrages such as this, and the wrongs committed by Southern ruffians, aided by the forces of the General Govern ment, upon the cititetis of Kansas, in at tempting to enforce upon them the blight ing curse of slavery. The Government, though nominally under the control of Norihern men, is yet more intensely South ern than any of the Southern Administra tions that have preceded it. All these thing 9 occur from the mad ambition of these dough-faces to electioneer themselves into the Presidency. To what base purpo ses has the Pierce Administration been used! Certainly some means should bo employed by the North to remedy this great and growing evil. We may rest assured that the Cincinnati nominee, no matter who he may be, will follow, should the direful ca lamity of liis election occur, iu the fxit rteps of his Locofoco predecessors. DISMISSAL OF CRAMPTON. It will be seen from the letter of Mr. Marcy, which wc publish in snother column, that Mr. Crampton has beeu officially noti fied of the JL-continuance of his diplomat i eal relations with this government. The British consuh> at Philadelphia, New York and Cincinnati have ato been furnished their passports. This is placed on their complicity with the euiistuieut of soldiers iu the United States, in opposition to our municipal iaws There is not much ex eitemens oa the subject, and it is not sup posed that it will lead to any very serious measures between the two countries. The letter of Mr. Marcy to the British Govern ment is couched in the most conciliatory tor ins. The Gazette still misrepresents Mr. JOR DAN. A score or mere respectable men were .0 the Court House at the time,who all know that th ctati'iueut of ours of week before fast, in regard to Mr. Minnick's license, is true. The simple word of any of them, would, with honest men, go further than Bowman's oath. What a falsifier be is!— But It is scarcely necessary to notice the lellow's lies, as they fali harmless to the ground. We call the attention of our readers to tho advertisement of Mr. Thomas R. Get lys, Jr.„iii another column. His Daguer rcan Bootn is ihe same a? that formerly oc cupied by bim. In Bedford Hail. Mr. Get tys' pictures are among the best we have ever seen, truthful and life-like. Every oua should have a good likenes* of himself, and of the member* of his family. Give him a call.

Cumberland was formerly one of the stronghold* of tho Foreign parte. Me call attention to the advertisement of Mr. Uriah E. .May. His Daguerrean il.>f.rn is in the new frame building abov e the store room of Cupt. Arnold. His pic tures are highly praised For the Inquirer and Chronicle*^ MR. EDITOR :—I see the Gazette of last week says : "We have the humiliating and disgraceful admission that the leaders of Know Nothingisin had determined upon charging the Catholics with the abduction or murder of the lost children of Mr. Cox, if their remains had not been Providential ly found. Another 'Maria Monk' story was almost ready for a Book.'" Maria Monk's story was attested by an OATH, and stands on the same footing as evidence takeu be fore otrr Courts of law, on which life, liber ty and the possession of property is dispo sed. Will the Gazette man now please give us, through his columns, the names of the Know Nothing leaders referred to in his article, and ot those, also, who made the admission, and put them on a similar foot ing with Maria Monk's story ? It is now certain that there is a vile slanderer some where, and the publio have an interest in knowing where to find him. Utitil said edi tor complies with the request, the public have abundant reason to believe that the slanders originated with himself and a cer tain P. M. who might render more substan tial benefit to the community, if he could tell George Kaufman, and sundry other persons something about certain letters containing large sums of money. We inter he is iu favor of holding on to the office, (considering it profitable, no doubt,) and not much concerned about the poace, har mony and comfort of his oeignbors. WM. GRIFFITH. Union Tp„ June 3, 1856. SECRETARY MARCY'S LETTER OF DISMISSAL TO MR. CRAM ETON. WASHINGTON, May 30.--T!IA following is the official dismissal of Mr. Crampton, the British Minister: Department of State, ( Washington, 31ay 28, 1856. \ SIR :—The President of the United States has directed me to announce to you bis determination to discontinue further in. tereourse with yon as Her Majesty's Diplo matic Representative to tbo Government of the United States. The reasons which have compelled hiiu to take this step at this time have been communicated to your Govern ment. I avail myself of this occasion to add that due attention will be cheerfully given to any communications addressed to this department from.her Majesty's Government affecting the relations between Great Brit ain and the United States, which may be forwarded to this Government through any other channel. Should it bo your pleasure to retire from the United States, the President directs me to furuish you with the usual facilities for that purpose. I consequently enclose, herewith, die passport in such cases. I avail myself of this opportunity to re new to you, sir, the assurance of my re spectful consideration. Wit. L. MARCT. To John F. Crampton, Esq., Her Majes ty's Minister, etc. The Central American Question. MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT. } Waeiiinqtom, May 30. A mcir3ge from i tho President in relation to Central Atoer- : ican affairs was sent to the Senate jester- i day, bnt not read. It merely encloses the : letter of Mr. Marcy to Mr. Dallas, dated i May 24th, on the subject of tho difference of opinion, between the British Government and that of the TJnited States, regarding the oonstm&tioa and effect of the Convention of the 19tb April, 1850, and the Central American question generally, and staling to Mr. Dallas the views the President enter tains on that question as it now stands, in order that he may communicate the same to the Earl of Clarendon There has been no : direct communication between the two Gov- j ernmeuts on the main suhjert since the let- 1 ter cf Mr. Buchanan to the Earl of Ciaren- J don in September last, his Ix>rdships reply j on the 28th of September, and the brief re- j joinder of Mr. Buchanan on the 4th of the | following October. The President, it appears, would havo ' been better satisfied if, in expressing the ; cdhviction that all obstacles to a satisfacto- | ry adjustment of the controversy might, j with a coueilatory spirit on both sides be , overcome, the Earl of Clarendon had heen j pleased to indicate the means which, in his judgment, wore calculated to produce so ' favorable a consummation. For want of this the President was left to conjecture the precise idea of bcr Majesty's Government. H could not be certain that bis conjecture concerning it was well fonnded, but wa9 in duced, by certain collateral incidents which have occurred, to infer it was by the arbitra tion of h third Power, of tbe difference be tween the two governments relative to Cen tral America. Mr. Marcy says it would be superfluoas to dwell on tbe regret which the President entertains, that a proposition of this nature, which Her Majesty's govern ment intended a final one, was not present ed at the commencement in such a shape as to have attraofed to and fixed upon it the attention of this government. Lord Cla rendon seems to assume, the difference be tween the two countries was one merely of the interpretation of tbe Convention of 1850, but that is not so understood by this Gov* ernroont, which does not understand that at tbe date of the treaty, Great Britain had any possessions or occupied any territory in Central America, unless the British estab lishment at Beliae, with its as the .=auie are defined by her treaties with Spain, are fo be ecti'idered as British pos sessions or territory in Central America. That is cuiy the poisitle construction of BEDFORD INIJDIRER AND CHRONICLE. the declaration exchanged between Mr* Clayton and Mr. Bulwer, at the time of ex changing the ratification of the Convention. After reviewing Great Britain's Mr. Marcy says :—To take with a military force and hold San Juan, Nicaragua, or any other point in Central America, such pre tension wooid be so totally irreconcilable with all idea of tbe independence or neutral ity of the Isthmus as to render the Conven tion worse than nugatory to the United States. Instead of submitting to arbitra tion, the pretension of involving such eon sequences, or in any other way consenting to restore tbe effect to this treaty with such possible construction, it would, in the judg .ment of the President, be bis duty to pro pose its annulment, so as to release the Un ited States from obligations not attended by ' any benefits, and which obligations were unintentionally incurred, they having enter ed into the treaty upon '.be supposition that ! au absolute reciprocity restriction was also incurred by Gre;it Britain. The President says he cannot lo anything which conld be taken to admit, 'ibis, either directly or im plied, but theto is a question in his mind relative to the true construction of that Convention, and he feels bound to take care that in entertaining the present proposition of arbitration ue shall not be understood as actuated by the slightest feeling of distrust | regarding the treaty rights of the United States. But the Fiesidcnt is not piepared to say that some of the questions of fact, concern ing which the two Governments differ, may not be conveniently determined by arbitra tion, or by some analogous method. Of this class of objects of inquiry is the question, what hre the rightful limits of the establish ment of Belize, on the side of the State of Honduras, the question whether -the Bay Islands do or do not belong to that ltepnb lic, and the question to what extent of country is embraced in the term "Mosquito Court," or is in the acthal occupancy of the Mosquito Indians, considered as Indians* and with such territorial rights only us that description of persons are entitled to claim according to the established public law of Great Britain, of the United States, and of Spain in America, remembering that no power exists on the part of Great Britain aud the United States .to dispose of the sovereign rights of Nicaragua or any other State of Central America. Mr. Marcy con cludes as follows : "All these questions of political geogra phy regard in the first instance the sover eignity and jurisdiction of the independent States of Central America. Great Britain and the United States have no pretension thus to intervene, except for the purpose of defining their own mutual obligations aris iug out of engagements they may have con tracted, in order to assure as far as they are concerned, the neutrality and independence of the American Isthmus. Regarded ouly j as collateral considerations, affecting the construction of the treaty between the Un ited States and Great Britain, they are questions which, if not determinable by ?iie agreement of the two governments them selves, the President would Dot decline to refer to arbitration. He is aware of many practical obstacles to the adjustment of any international difference of this nature by ar bitration of which difficulties Great Britain and the United States had experience in the attempt to settle by such means the previous controversy on the subject of the boundary between the United States and the British Province in North America. The President does not doubt any one of the Powers of Europe which should consent to undertake the tesk of such arbitration as now proposed, would perform tho duty in perfect impartiality, but to apply to any Power to do this would he to ask an act which, if granted, would add to their own domestic duties and labors a burden of set ting the complicated difference of other governments. Ho would greatly prefer that in a controversy like the present, turning on points and political geography, the mat ter should be referred to o:ue one or more of these eminent men of science who do honor to the intellect of Europe and Amer ica, and who with the previous consent of their respective Governments, might well undertake the task of determining such a question to the acceptance as well of Iler Majesty's Government as that of the Unit ed States. You are instructed, to enter into a communication with Her ! Majesty's principal Secretary of Foreign Affairs ID relation to Central America, in order to ascertain, in the first place, whether existing differences cannot bo promptly terminated by a direct negotiation, and if it cannot, then t* discuss the conditions of ! arbiyation of those points of difference, as ;to which one this method of settlement ; seems requisite or applicable ; it being as j sutned that the other points of difference i would after that yield as of course to aeon | ferencc between the Earl of Clarendon and i yourself, conducted in a spirit of cordiality and frankness, which belongs to JOUT per sonal relations, and dictated by the true in ' terests, both of the United State* and Great 1 Britain.

I M* /'•; ___ . h \ PARTICULARS OF THE DESTRUC TION IN LAWRENCE. [Correspondence of the V Y. Times j LAWRENCE, Wednesday, May 21, 9 P. M.—About one o'clock this P. M.. the Sheriff and his chosen posse mado two ar rests for treason. (?) They were G. W Deitzler and G. W. Smith. Tbo first is guilty of no official act under the State Government, the latter none, except that of being a member of the Teroitorial Exe. cutive Committee. They all took diuner very pleanautly together at the Eldridge House, formerly called Free Hotel, and about three o'clock a new posse of abou t ten or twelve rode into town, preceded by- Sheriff Jones. We were surprised to see him in ridiDg conditiou so soon; but on see ing him nearer, be appeared quite eroacia. ted and pale. He rode directly to the Ho tel and inquired for Gen. Pomeroy. The General soon appeared at the door, when Jones spoke as follows: 'I have come here to-day to make a demand of this town. I have often tried to mako arrests, and the last time I was here,came near losing my life I, therefore, as the U. S. Marshal for Kan sas Territory, and as Sheriff of Douglas couuty, demand of you ell your arms.— Bring out your rifles and stack them iu the street, and carry your cannon to tbe field yonder, where you see our men I will give you just five minutes for an answer, (taking out bis watch tc- count tbe time) and then a few minutes louger to do the work.' The General replied that be could not tell much about the arms, but supposed they were mostly owned as private property. Jones then said, 'bring them all out and stack them together, and as many of you as can prove them to be your property to our satisfaction, shall Lave them returned—and I will give a receipt for f hc remainder.'— The General then returned to his ioom> where several members cf tho Committee of Public Safety were present, and after a brief consultation returned with this an swer: 'Considering that he made the de mand as an officer of the Federal Govern ment, we would give up to him our cannon, and as many rifles as wero not private property.' He then gave as half an hour to bring them forward, but when the tiiye expired we could only find one mounted howitzer and three breech loaded iron can non, uot mounted; wc had no rifles tha l weie public property. At this tbey seemed dissatisfied, and one gentleman remarked that be had supposed there were rifles enough here to arm fifteen hundred men.— However, they did not discuss the point lon ger, but proceeded to other matters. Simultaneously with this affair the great army of Kansas— the embodiment of South ern chivalry—moved down from the bill and planted tbeir cannonf four in number, at the head of Massachusetts street, where they could rake tbe.entire business part of the town. About the time also that the ar my commenced mo-, ing from tho hill, Jones made the remerk in conversation with El drnlge, that the Emigrant Aid Hotel inns t go down, and if be wanted to save his wife and children, he must get them out at once. This could not have possibly been given as penalty to any demand, for at this time no one of them knew how inany rifles would be found. Neither was the army marched down for any penalty they wished to inflict for anything be had done to-day, but both were undeniably a part of tho or der of the day, as coucocted at their camp. Our people plead with tbeai to spare their property —but Jones swore the hotel should come down. Col. Eldridgc conducted him self with much independence, and when he found that tbey were determined to de stroy the building, he told them that he had over five thousand dollars worth of fur niture in there, and tbat be should not move one dollar's worth for them. If they bad it, tbey would tako it as it stood. The mob took out a little of the best furniture, on heariug this statement: the remainder was left. I should hare stated before, that Mar shal Donaldson gave tho orders for the ar rests, but when they were tnade, he dis charged his posse, saying he had no further business for them. At once Sheriff Jones summoned tbeni all as his posse—to do I know not what—and he beoame supreme commander of the red host. They came marching into town with all mnuncr of flags waving in tho breeze. On one was borne in large letters the iuscription —"the Equal ity of the White Raoe" upon one side, and on the other "Kansas the out post." I dare not wtile more to-night, bat must leave my story abruptly, and go to other •quarters for my own safety. I will only add, the hotel was bombarded for an hour, and afterwards burnt. At this moment Dr. Robinson's bouse was in flames. We ex pec: a guerrilla tima of it to-night. No lives were lost to-day, but I fear the worst is We made no resistance, and our women and children were removed from the town. I cannot oomment. This day is a text for the age. Its history must bo written. Wait for my next, if lam spared. lIAWHKMCK, Thursday, May 22, 1856. 1 will add only a word this morning, as our mail leaves immediately. Tho town was completely sacked yesterday by the Execu tive's lawless mob. Tboy destroyed both ; printing offices, and threw moat of tho nu | terials into the Kansas river. So you will receive no wore paper; from that town at present. Every bouse was broken into, ev ery trunk torn open, money, oiothes, books, keepsakes, provisions all taken away or scattered through the streets. Remember this point; It was all done in the name of the Government, as they claimed to be searching for Sbarpc's rifles. Worse, even, the printing offices bad previously been de clared nuisances, and an authority bad been given the mob, by the now immortal Judge Lecompte to remove them. They encamped about two miles out last night, and ere now calling the morning roll. It is expected they go to Topeka next, and repeat the havoc: then private claims come next. They stole horses again last nighti but burned no other houses tbau Governor Kobiuson's. They set a guard around it to protect it til! the fire was well kindled; tben run into tbo camp. This all goes up ou the rtcord as a beautiful bid for the next Presidency. A Fresh Pro-Sluvery Account of the Destruction of Laterencc. —We bavo just arrived from that notorious abolition bole, Lawrence. On Wednesday eveuiug, the "21st, about 500 rueD, under tie direction of the United States Marshal, assembled be fore the town, and demanded that the arms j in Lawrence be given up, and bo be allow- ! ed to arrest those for whom he bad writs. I They submitted to the demand, and uncot. j ditionally surrendered, giving up four pieces I of cannon and some twenty Sharpy's rifles!! Before the Marshal dismissed the men, Sheriff Junes, though but lately shot by one of the cowardly traitors, in the dark" ness of the u'gfct, appeareJ on horseback and summoned the whole company to assist him ID making arrests and carrying out Lis orders. The whole affair was done with order aud according to law. The sheriff madfe about twenty arrests, and the Grand Jury of Douglas county Laving declared the Fort or Big Kock Hotel and the two printing presses nuisances, the Sheriff was literally bound to destroy them. Thirty cannon shots were fired at the Hotel, breaking it in many places, and then it was burned up.— The two presses were totally destroyed. There wero two or three abolitionists killed. Two Southern men were danger ously wounded by accident. After the Southern men left Lawrence, the bouse be longing to the vile traitor Itobiusou was burnt, we have been told. This was eoa tiary to orders and meets with the condem nation of all Southern men. Ths laws have boon enforced even in Lawrence. Hurrah for the law and crder men of Kansas! The Doniphan Tigers have returned with joy in their hearts and honor upon their company.— Doniphan Constitutionalist. Grerly's opinion of Air. Fillmore's strength. —Almost every day we bear some of the opposition papers say tbat Mr. Fill more cannot obtain the electoral vote of a single State in the Union. To ail such we commend the following, from Horace Gree ley, written soon after the Philadelphia Convention: Mr. Fillmore's administration was entire ly satisfactory to the Conservatives of sla very in that section, and hewillpretty sure ly receive the electoral votes of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Tenuessre.— North Carolina and l/ouisiana are doubtful: Florida not impossible, even Georgia may be fairly contested. It is also a significant fact that the States her'* scv down for Mr. Fillmore arc those which have been the must liberal and patri otic on all questions arising between the two section'—State* that always sustained the gallant Clay. Think of this reader.— .Vubilt Advertiser Our friend of the Advertiser might have added, that Mi. Fillmore will prove himself strong in every State where a national, Union sentiment is strong And we are too hopeful not to think that this is the case in a vast majority of the States in the Union. Mr. Fillmore will surely carry all of the above mcntioued States, and more than twice as many niQjjj. The whole coun try is worn out with the racking with which Democracy has enrsed it, and longs as a sick man for peace and ease. Under the buuign Administration of Mr. Fillmore, it enjoyed these blessing", and it turns to him for relief again. And it will receive it.— Such a trial as that of the past few years will teach it how to appreciate it, and not trifle it away.— .Vashvillt Patriot. THE RTTIXS OF Sr.BAsrroroL.— A cor respondent of the London Times thus no tices the present condition of this ill-fated city: The strangor who halt# to survey it from the neighboring heights, deceived by the white washed and plastered walls of the houses, might think that Sebastopol was still a city; but when he walks through its grass grown, deserted streets, formed by endless rows of walls alone, of roofless sheila cf houses, in which not one morsel of timber can be seen from threshold to eaves, when he beholds great yawning cra ters half filled with raonuds of cut stone heaped together ia masses: when ho gazes on tho tumult of disentegrsted masonry, once formidable forts, now shaken AS it were into dust and powder—when he stum bles over the fragments of imperial edifi ces to peer down into the great gulfs choked with rubbUh which now war the idp pf tho grand docks of the Queen of the Eurine, and behold the rotten masts and hulls of the sunkeu navy which was nurtured there; when he observes that wbat the wrath of the enemy Las spared is fast crumbling away beneath the fires of its friends, and that the chorches where they worshipped> the theatres and the public monuments, are especially selected for the practise of the Eussian gunners, as though they were emu lous of running a race in destruction with the Allied armies—he will no doubt come to the conclusion that the history of th e world affords no such authentic instance of the annihilation of a great city. Arctic Discoveries. The frozen zone might furnish a chambe r of the dead, larger and more densely thiong ed than that which is kept so faithfully by the monks of St. Bernard. The Northern Ocean has been more fatal to bold adven tures, thiia the torrid zone to the explorers of Central Africa. In both some of the no blest of our race have perished, victims to a love of science or a thirst of adveDture. — The Evening Journal gives a brief synopsis of the disastrous voyage 3 in search of th e northwest passage. "Three centuries aud a half ago, Gaspar Cotereal began the war by crossing the threshold of the frozen ea; the ice laid hold of him, and held him fast in its remorseless grasp. In the following year, Miguel Cor toreal pursued his missing brother's track, ;u the hope, that he might discover the place of his capitivity, but he too never returned. In 1553, Willoughby reached the shores of Nova Zerabla; years afterwaid she Hessians found his ships frozen to the desolate coast of Lapland, snd frighted with the lifeless bodies of their crews. In 179(1, Bareuzlost two vessels and left his bones in the inhos pitable regions about Nova Zenibla. In IGIO, Hudson penetrated tbe bay which bcara his name, but never returned, his crew setting him adrift in an open boat, "a sacrifice," as one has it, "to the oflended spirit of the place." In IGIO, Monk wintered upon the northern coast of Hudson Bay, and two on" ly out of a crew of fifty-two came back. In IGIU Knight and Barlow followed in the track of Monk, and never returned. Long after some of the fragments of their vessels were found on the rocks cf Marble Island.— Many others have perished singly, while their companions Have escaped, in battling with the wild elements in the Artie circle. And now the bones of Franklin and his men are rivaling in whiteness the snows by which they re surrounded." Tur. OCTRAGE upon Mr. SUMNER has aroused au iutense excitement in the North. Indignation meetings have been held in sev eral of the Eastern cities, and the people have spoken in strong condemnation of the act. The subject was before the Legisla ture of Massachusetts on Monday last, and referred to committees to report suitable action thereon. There was not a single extenuating circumstances to justify the at tack, and hence the action which has been so genoral on the part of freemen of the North, against the authors and abettors o? the shameful deed. It is gratifying to state, that the demo cratic press, as nor observation extends, at the North, has with one accord condemn ed iu strong terms, the outrage and its author. A meeting of the citizens of Columbia, S. 0., has expressed approval of the conduct of Brooks, and the newspapers of the .South allude to it in terms of commendation- The following are the comments of the Richmond (Va.) Whig— "GOOD DEED. — As will be seen by tele graph, Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, af ter the adjournment of the Senate on yes terday, administered to Senator Suiuner the notorious and foul-mouthed Abolition ist from Massachusetts, an elegant and ef fectual caning. We are rejoiced at this.— Tite only regret we feel is, that Mr. Brooks did not employ a horsewhip or a cowhide upon bi slanderous back, instead of a cane. We trust the ball will be kept in motion. Seward and others should oateh it next.'' The Southern press, with very few ex ceptions, speaks in pretty much the saute style as given above. The Baltimore .1- mirican Democrat , only regrets that Brooks did not select seme other place than the Senate Chamber for the "well merited pun ishment." The Petersburg intelligencer heads its article "Sumner's Licking," is sorry that Brooks "dirtcd his cane" by con tract with Sumner, not because the latter "got a lick amiss, not because he was not justly entitled to all he got, and more be sides," but because the assault on "the Nasty Scamp" will make capital for his cause. The Intelligencer wants Sewwrd thrashed next, Vfeough it is puzzled to know how a pretext oan begot,as Seward is "too smart to violate the decoram of debate."— The South Side Democrat says, that the telegraph has recently announced no infor mation moro grateful to the feelings of the editor of that paper than the "classical caning" reoeived by Sumner, at tho hands of the "ohivalrous Brooks," which he *ays, was tho only punishment adequate to a proper restraint of Sumner's "insolence. , The Southern press almost, if not quite unanimously, approve the outrage. Tho Carolina Times, published at Colom bia, S. C., the official State paper, uses tba language in reference to the outrage. "The time has long since arrived for I Southern uien in Washington to pvu-tb t^rir tradncer*. The cowardly Abolitionists v l #! seek protection under the altar, but even there he ongbt to he pursued and punished. The Senate Chamber ought not to deter the outraged and incetised Southern public. Col. Brooks has immortalized himself, and he will find that the people of South Carili n are ready to endorse his conduct. We are pleased with bis conduct, and rejoice that Col. L. M. Keitt demonstrated his wil lingness and readiness to sustain Mr. Brook* in carrying out his views, that the wa r ought to conumice in Washington, and we hope that arguments stronger than word* will hereafter be used on every convenient, occasion." Rebellion in Michigan. A letter from Detroit, in the New York Herald, thus refers to the condemnation and repudiation ot the Administration by the Michigan Democracy iu general, aud the Detroit Free press in particular. The Deuioc.atic State Convection to elect delegates to the Cincinnati Convention has jast closed its session, ana iu several res pects has been a singular and funny affair. The session was decidedly stormy, and ex hibited tbe, "harmonious Democracy" of Michigan iu a new light to their brethren of other States. Any amount of open in dignation was expressed towards General Pierce, and it was all the officeholders could do to prcveut serious consequences. Much of the iudignaut feeling grew out of the St. Clair Flats appicpriation bill. The Free Press of this morning, the admitted home organ of'general Cass and the Democracy of tbe Northwest, opened its batteries and lot off a perfect broadside of grape at the New Hampshire Gereral on the subject of the veto, and claims to be "entirely sale in pronouncing Lis reasons, in advance, unwor thy a moment's consideration;" says that nobody, except a few narrow minded men iu certain sections of tbe country," will bo satisfied with his reasons, and those will be men whose views esc a* narrow as those of the President." This heme organ of Genera! Cass finally say s:— "We thauk God that President l'iercc's term cf office is drawing to a close " Again, in the sauie article, it says: "We thank God that his administration is drawing to a close. Tuc Democracy of the Northwest have been deceived iu iL inan. If thty should be deceived in. any other man, it will be its cwn fault." The whole article is chuck full of caielV choice expressions as the above, and crea ted no little excitement among the people this mcining, to see this leading Democrat' ic organ take such bold and manly groun'ds at this particular juncture in affairs. The fact is, the veto has bronght down a perfect storm of indignation all ab-np the great Northwest chain of lakes, and the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention will have to he •'sound'' in favor of internal im provements. or he will ln?a many votes, which will be cast for Fillmore. But to the Convention. Delegates were present from every part of the State, to the number of 104—a full representation. Very nearly one half of the number were office-holders under Pi'rce as postmasters, register?, receivers, Indian asrent, Ac., Ac., and the way most of them turned their lacks on their master, is a caution to his ambition for a second run. THE BROOKS A.\U SCIINXR CASE. In the Senate, on Wednesday, Mr. PFALTFE, from the Select Committee appointed to in vestigate the acts attending the recen'. as sault upon Mr. Sumner, made a repoTt, sta ting that precedents are found only iu the action of the House, the Senate never hav ing been called ou to pronounce judgment in a similar case. Several precedents arc cited in the report, and the Commi'fee ar rives at the conclusion that, although the assault was a violation of the privileges of the Senate,it is not within their jurisdiction and the offence can enly be punished by the House, nf which Brooks is a member. The Committee therefore recommends that the Senate make a complaint to the House, and submit a resolution that the report be ac cepted, and a copy thereof, with the affida vits accompanying the saute, be transmitted to the House of Representative?.
