THREE WAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. The Collins steamer Baltic arrived at New York May 28, bringing Liverpool dates to Wednesday, 14th instant. Her news is of con siderable interest. The following is i sum mary : A commercial treaty has been concluded be tween Persia and the United States. It was rumored that an American squadron would soon enter the Baltic. KNGLAKP. Walker's battles in Central America had not caused much excitement in England. The London Herald, however, has an editorial in which it declares the United States is wrong and England right in regard to the construction of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. It says; " Whatever may be the result of the ap proaching discussion of the Bulwer-Clayton treaty, it is quite clear that the state of affairs in Central America cannot be much longer over looked. It already demands the serious atten tion of statesmen on both sides of the Atlantic. How fur it may bo competent for this govern ment to interfere is a question which we appre hend may soon have to be decided?how that interference may be regarded at Wushiugton is a consideration of grave importance." It then refers to the battles of Walker with the Costa Ricans, says the latter almost despair of making headway against filibusters from the United States, and then expresses its surprise at the recent discovered correspondence be tween Lord Clarendon and Mr. Wallerstein, the consul for Costa Rica, in which the former promised to sell the latter two thousand stand of English arms. On thin the Herald remarks: " Lord wCl?rendou will, of course, be pre pared to explain his share in the transaction ; but we need not say the discovery of such a communication as we have described will not tend to allay the irritation which the Central American and the recruiting "difficulties" have already created at Washington. It is unfortu nate, to say the least of it, that under any cir cumstances a British Minister should be caught affording furtive assistance to the government of an independent State, and expressing se cretly a sympathy of which he has not cared to make open ana manly avowal." Sir Bulwer Lytton's motion regarding Cen tral America stands fixed for an early day after the recess of Parliament; and the Herald anti cipates that he will present a careful and exact analysis of the contents of the "blue book"' (Central American) correspondence. It then says: "Regarding the conduct of the American Government upon that question we have from the first had but one opiuion, and that opinion we have hot hesitated to express openly and distinctly. In the controversy which has arisen respecting the meaning of the Bulwer-Clayton Treaty, the British Government has been clearly in the right; the American Government mani festly in the wrong. " The treaty is as clear aud intelligible a document as ever was drawn up by the servants of any Government, and reflects credit on the clear understanding, and ability of its author. In the present state of things in Central America we do not directly assert that the Cabinet of Washington are responsible, seeing they de nounce Walker as a pirate, and proclaim their determination to bring his followers within the provisions of the neutrality law of the States; but it is a remarkable fact that at the various trials of fillibusters had at New Orleans and New York for the violation of that law the Government have never managed to procure a conviction. The colonization of any part of Central America is distinctly provided against by the Bulwer-Clayton Treaty ; yet it is notori ous that colonists from the Southern States, and especially from Florida, are constantly finding their way into the States named in the convention." Sir Bulwer Lytton, the Herald contends, should endeavor to impress upon Government the means which he should be prepared to stale whereby a satisfactory settlement of all the dis puted points of the question may be attempted, and in conclusion, adds: "The condition in which Great Britain must stand with reference to our transatlantic allies would be'delicate and critical indeed should Walker and his fillibusters succeed in estab lishing a government, and demand for it the recognition of England." Lord Palmerston had been taken ill in the House of Commons. The New Loan of Five Million*. On the 13th instant, a considerable number of abnkers, merchants, and others had an in terview with the Chancellor of the Eichequer,in London, in reference to the proposed new loan of 5,000,000 sterling, to be raised on consoli dated three per cent, annuities- For every ?100 subscribed in money, the contractors will receive ?3 per cent, consolidated annuities. The biddings to be made in such annuities. The interest on the three per cent, consolidated annuities will commence from the 5th January, 1856. The payments run from May 22 to Sep tember 18. The chancellor mentioned that the loan which was now proposed was calculated to cover the whole of the estimated service of the year, with the exception of ?2,000,000, and he should propose to take power for issuing upon this Exchequer Bonds, in the event of the market being favorable, in order to cover that margin of two millions. These two millions, however, would not, under any circumstances, according to his calculation, be required till the end of the present year, or probably not until the first three months of 1857. He afterwards said it was difficult to ascertain the expense of bring ing home the troops, but at the same time he confidently expressed an opinion that the ?2,000,000 would not be required. IRELAND. The amnesty bestowed on Smith O'Brien and the other political exiles has afforded universal satisfaction in Irelar.d. The Freeman's Journal expresses the hope that the example so nobly set by England may be followed by her ally, France. A resolution in favor of tenant-right has, on motion of Dr. Gray, been adopted unani mously by the Dublin corporation. PRANCE. In France the secret societies were causing some anxiety to the Government. On the 11th instant, 4,500 French troops arrived at Marseilles from the Crimea, accom panied by five generals. RVRN1A. Russia is reported to have demanded expla nations respecting the secret treaty signed jointly by France, Great Britain and Austria, guaranteeing the independence of Turkey. The matter had not affected the stock market. The Russians under Mouravieff were, at the last accounts, commencing a new campaign against the Circassians. ITALY. The affairs of Italy continue to excite much attention. Count favour had presented two important notes in the Sardinian chambers. The Austrian Legation in Turin has called on the public prosecutor to prosecute the Es pero for an article headed, "The Austrian Amnesty," which contains matter offensive to the Emperor of Austria. The case will be tried on the 16th The Ronnd Dne*. On the !)th, Russia, Sweden, and Oldenburg signed a protocol at Copenhagen, agreeing conditionally to the capitalization of the Sounrl Dues. ??LOIVN. The excitement in Belgium respecting French interference with the liberty of the press, still continued, but the latest mail says that an agreement with France had been reached. ? PAIN. The Queen has invited the ex-Regent of Por tugal to visit Madrid. TURKEY. The exchange of the ratifications of the treaty of the 30th March was known in the Turkish capital. The Sultan has requested, it is said, several Anglo-French divisions to re main for some time at Constantinople. It ia thought that this request has been caused bj the state of things in the interior of Turkey. The grand revolt which has broken out in Arabia is the theme of general conversation ; Egyptian troops are to be employed in repress ing it. The Smyrna papers state that the fauatics in Syria have massacred the English consular agent in Marasch and his family. Suleyman l'acha has put down the revolt in Magnesia, and arrested the ring leaders. From tl?c Crimea. The accounts from the Crimea came down to the 29th of April. General Luders has author ized the cavalry division of General d'Allon ville to proceed from Eupatoria to Kamiesch by laud, passing along the coast. A body of 9,000 English troops has embarked at Bala klava. INDIA. The Bombay Times of the 16th of April says there were rumors at Bunder Abbass that Dost Mahomed had been beaten at Herat, that 40 of his guns had been captured and 20,000 of his people. The rumors were not believed. Dost Mahomed continues at Caldahar, where he has narrowly escaped assassination, and is suffer ing from the usual embarrassments of an empty treasury and mutinous army. Two Weelcs Later front California?In teresting from Central America?Re treat of the Costa Kicana from Nicara gua. The steamer Granada, with dates from Ha vana to the 24th, and from California to the 5tb, arrived at New Orleans, May 27. She reports that the steamer Illinois, for New York, has $1,600,000 in treasure on board. The news from California is unimportant. Iu Mariposa county the Americans had mur dered 20 Mexicans and Chillians on the pretext of the killing of an American by the Chillians. The Americans there had also ordered all Chinese, Mexicans, Chillians, and Peruvians to leave the place. The Indian war was being prosecuted in Oregon and Washington Territories. The Indians had met several defeats. The volunteers complain badly of neglect. The commissaries lack rations. / From Central America. The Costa Ricans shipped 300 of their wounded at San Juan DelSud, and their army had retreated from Nicaragua by laud. The Costa Ricans say they had been deceived in regard to the feeling of the people of Nicaragua towards Walker. They expected to be received With open arms. Baron Bulow is bitter against the false representations. A New York Begger Turned Countess. The Diario, of Madrid, tells a tough story of New York life, which we condense for the benefit of our readers who delight in romantic tales: A few years back, according to the Diario, an English nobleman, a grandee of the first water, and an eccentrician of the wildest school, honored New York with his presence and his money. He lived strictly incognito, and his sole amasement consisted in wandering through the streets after nightfall, and in re lieving those of his fellow creatures who had experienced the pains of poverty or penalties of dissipation. While upon one of these humane excursions, he encountered a young female who tenderly solicited alms. Inquiring her history, he found her to be an orphan of surpassing beauty, with an intelligent mind and of excellent education, reduced to abject desti tution from the death of her father, shot in the Mexican war. The titled Howard, wearied at his own bachelor's existence, and won by the romance of the beggar girl's history, tendered to her his heart, his coronet and his hand. The sequel, according to the Diario, is that, at a recent ball given by the Russian Emperor, a duchess, radiant with beauty, and sparkling with diamonds, won the hearts of all observers. That distinguished lady was the ci-de-tant men dicant of the New York streets. Tli* W ild Woman. We heard considerable talk, says the Cincin nati Enquirer, about a wild woman brought up by the steamer Hickman, from the Arkansas country. On looking at our pocket almanac, and finding that it was not the 1st of April, we sauntered down to the boat, and, sure enouph, we found a wild female in charge of a Mr. Nortbcott, who, the clerk informed us, dis covered her one year since, at which time he could not capture her. She made her escape, and he had to abandon the pursuit at that time. He, however, visited the same place this last March and discovered her place of conceal ment, and, by hanging in ambush, he succeeded in capturing her. She was taken in the Wit cbatah Mountains, Indian Territory. She'was caught by a dog, and then secured by cords or ropes. She utters no words, has a howl or scream when she requires anything or when slightly hurt by combing her hair. Mr. North cott Bays she has not the slightest idea of utter ing a word. When taken she had on the skin of some wild animal, the seams were sewed up by the same material. She is a good sized person, a handsome form if well dressed; has a wild look, and appears frightened when looked at. She is, judging from her appearance, about twenty-five years of age. A Magnificent Nigger. Dickens gives the following description, in a late number of the "Household Words," of a dandy darkey he encountered in a Paris Restau rant: I would have borne half a hundred disap pointments similar to this dinner, for the sake of the black man. Legs and feet, be was a character! He sat next to me, calm, contented, magnificent, proud. He was as black as my boot, and as shiny. His woolly head, crisped by our bounteous mother Nature, had unmista kably received a recent touch of the barber's tongs. He was perfumed?he was oiled?he had moustaches (as I live f) twisted out into rats' tails, by means of Pom made Hongroise. He had a tip; he had scarlet Turkish cap, with a long blue tassel; he had military stripes down his pantaloons; he had patent-leather boots; he had shirt studs of large circumference, pins, gold waistcoat buttons, and a gorgeous watch-chain; I believe he had a crimson under waistcoat; he had the whitest of cambric hand kerchiefs, a ring on his fore finger, and a stick with an overpowering gold knob. He was the wonderfulest nigger that the eye ever beheld. He had a pretty English wife?it is a fact, madam, with long auburn ringlets, who it was plain to see was desperately in love with, and desperately afraid of him. It was marvellous to behold the wrapt fond gaze with which she contemplated him as he leaned back in his chair after dinner and refreshed his glittering ivories with a tooth-pick. ICqually marvellous was the condensation which he permitted her to eat her dinner in his august presence, and suffered her to tie round his neck a great em blazoned shawl like a flag. Diooino mriR own Graves.?Those men belonging to the command of Colonel Schles singer, who were taken by the Costa Ricans and executed by them, were made to perform an unwelcome service just before their exit. Having been condemned to death, and their fate announced, the victims were compelled to dig their own graves, and when done, made to kneel upon the margin of the trench dug, when they were shot dftaa?falling readily into the pit their own hands had dug. From the Louiniaua Democrat. J?BkU Unchanau, Unerring indications point to Pennsylvania's most distinguished son, as the nation's first choice for the highest oftice in the gift of a free and iudependeut people. In our opinion, no man cau be presented to the Cincinnati Convention possessing a more substantial char acter aud brilliant attainments than James Buchanan, whose reputation is the work of forty years in public life. Theemiuent fitness of Buchanan for the Presidency is not ques tioned by his most violent opposers. He pos sesses in an emiuent degree all the striking characteristics of a great, pure aud patriotic Statesmen. The Chief Magistrate of a nation like ours should be a person of sound; legal mind, great prudence, justice and purity. Does not Buchanan possess these attribntes in a very high degree? Most certainly he does. While there are many others in all parts of the Union who have other preferences, we hear of none who seem willing to openly object to Buchanan in the slightest degree. It has been pertinently remarked by one of the most distinguished men that ever graced a legislative hall, that his private, as well as po litical character is without suspicion or stain. For forty long years the same scrupulous re gard for truth has marked his every action. In tact, he has passed through the firery furnace, and, like God's three faithful servants of old, comes forth without even the smell of smoke upon his garments. Slander, exhaustless in its resources, and unsleeping in its vengence, has totally failed in its miserable attempts to slay the proud intellectual giant of the Old Keystone State. Mr. Buchanan's whole course through life has been conservative and strictly consistent, and has beautifully harmonized with the purest examples of the past and present, with all those saving doctrines he has devo tedly taught, practised, and fearlessly defended. That his course towards the South has ever been consistent and right, cannot ^ doubted for a moment. When such men are at the helm of Govern ment, the South has nothing to fear from the mad assaults continually made by monsters like Seward, Greely, Giddings k Co. With re cords so unsulled, is it not reasonable and safe to suppose that Mr. Buchanan will be the Presi dential successor of Franklin Pierce? However, should the contemplated Cincin nati Convention, in their collected wisdom, pre I sent a different name, we as a Democrat, will most heartily concur, and fight with all the i energy nature has given us, for the triumphant success of Democratic principles. While we prefer Buchanan to any man living, we pledge ourselves to sustain the decision of the Cincin nati Convention without a murmur. " We battle for principles?not men." Farther from K?ntai-Eztrcm? Measures adopted at Lawrence?The Place Storm ed and Probably Burnt. Chicago, May 26.?The Tribune publishes an extra bassed upon intelligence brought by three men direct from Lawrence, stating that a com pany of four ^undred mounted Missourians made iheir appearance near Lawrence, on Wed nesday, bearing bannersand various devices,but not the stars and stripes. During the morning the Lawrence committee of safety sent a note to the United Stales Marshal, who headed the force, assuring him that they would make no resistance in any process he might wish to serve; and begging for the protec tion of their lives and property. The marshal made no answer, but at 11 o'clock, the deputy marshal, with a posse of ten men, made his appearance in the city, and summoning four citizens to assist him, arrested O. W. Dielsler and G. W.Smith carrying them off without mo lestation. Sheriff Jones subsequently mnde his appear ance with eighteen men; h'e attempted no ar rests bat demanded all public and private arms to be delivered up; giving the people only five minutes to accede to the demand, and threaten ing, in case of refusal, to storm the town. One field piece was immediately surrendered up, but the people refused to give up their arms. In a half hour sheriff Jones returned with two pieces of artillery and an overwhelming force and commenced the work of destruction by cannonading the Free State Hotel and the office of the Herald of Freedom. The former was burnt and the types and presses of the latter were destroyed. The Tribune: s informant* left that evening, and when fifteen miles from Lawrence saw a great light and volames of smoke in the direc tion of the place. They have no doubt that the town is destroyed. Another messenger who left Leavenworth just before the departure of the boat says that several men had been killed by Sheriff Jones' party. It was also feared that Gen. Pomeroy had been hung by the mob. Gov. Robinson is still at Lecompte in the hands of the authorities. Ex-Governor Reeder, who is supposed to be in a place of safety, is daily expected at Chicago via Nebraska and Iowa. The mob threatened to hang Gov. Robinson, Mr. Brown and Mr. Dielsler. The Free State men arc gathering at Topeka and will make a stand at that point. Mr. Atchison is somewhere in the territory. The United States troops are anxious to pro tect the settlers, but are not allowed to leave their quarters. STILL LATER. Reported Destruction of Lawrence. St. Locis, May 26.?An extra from the of fice of the Lexington county Express confirms the accounts of the destruction of Lawrence. It is stated that after Marshal Donalson had entered the tow a and made the arrest of all the persons for whom he had warrants he turned bis posse over to Sheriff Jones, whose attempts to make arrests were resisted by the people, who fired on his men. Jones then cannonaded and set fire to the hotel and the Herald of Freedom office, destroying both. The artillery were still firing and the flames spreading when the messenger left. But few lives were lost. ? ome Particular* of the Outrage. St. Louis, May 27.?Later advices from Kansas report the return of Messrs. Robinson, Schuyler, and Conway to the charge of the Federal authorities. Robinson is in prison at Lecompton. Reeder is still unheard from. An extra of the Kansas City Enterprise of the 22d says that Sheriff Jones took about twenty men into Lawrence. At his demand General Pomeroy delivered up all the rifles and cannon he could collect, and for which Jones gave him a receipt. Jones then requested Eldridfe to remove the furniture from the hotel, which the latter declined to do. The posse then entered and carried most of the furniture into the street. Sheriff Jones gave express orders that no private property should be injured, and particularly that Robinson's house should not be tonched; but, after a por tion of the posse bad left, the house was burnt. During the excitement one man was shot, and another was killed by the falling walls of the hotel. General Pomeroy is still at liberty in Lawrence. United Rtates Government Finances. The Texas debt is now rapidly being audited at the Treasury Department. After paying rising seven millions on this score, including interest, there will, it is said, be a surplus at close of the fiscal year, on the thirteenth of June, estimated at over seventeen millions. Price of Puppies In England. The pack of hounds of Mr. Richard Sutton were sold a few weeks since, under the ham mer, at Quorn Kennels, Leicestershire, Eng land. This hunting pack, consisting of thirty nine dogs, from one to five years old, sold for $7 ,500. The puppies, 50 in number, were put | up in lots of five each, and brought altogether, I $2,300. I PLATVOHM OF JAMKH BUCHANAN, OK P11NNIYLVANIA. " Resolved, That in the present distracted con dition of parties, in which sectional and par tial issues have been allowed to attain a dangerous supremacy, we recognise in the policy of the Democratic party, that which rests upon the Constitution as its basis ; and that it is the party which above ull others has, in the language ot the illustrious Madison, ever continued Ho hold the Union of the States as the basis of their peace and happiness; to sup port the Constitution, which is the ceuieut of the Union, as well in its limitations as its au thorities ; to respect the rights and authorities reserved to th,e States and to the people, as equally incorporated with, and essential to, the success of the general system ; and to avoid the slightest interference with the rights of conscience or the functions of religion, so wisely exempted from civil jurisdiction.' " Resolved, That by the general consent of the wise and virtuous of all nations, the framers of the Republic of the United States exhibited, in their individual characters and in the result of their public deliberations, a degree of virtue and a practical statesmanship to which the history of the world affords no parallel; that in no part of the Federal compact is the wisdom of our Fathers more conspicuous, than in leav ing the whole question of slavery to the States in their separate capacities, and that in the pro vision for the re-de!ivery of fugitives escaped from labor or servjee, they demonstrated a sense of justice, an appreciation of the value of the Uuion, an attachment to its preservation, | an avoidance of ono?sided philanthropy and | impracticable theories of government, which present a proper example for the guidance aud imitation of us their descendants. "Resolved, That we look only to the Constitu tion, and the exposition thereof which has been afforded by the practices of the Democratic ad ministrations, for the chart of our policy. That these constitute, until the fundamental law is changed by methods which itself provides, the highest law of our obedience as citizens; and that we utterly discard that particular and ex aggerated sympathy, the attempt to carry which into practice is at the peril of our dear est interests as a nation, aud threatens the in fliction of evils of tenfold magnitude to those which it proposes to heal. " Resolved, That the equality of the States is the vital element of the Constitution itself, and that all interference with the rights of the States, by those who seek to disregard the sacred guarantees of the past, and by all others, should be rebuked with the same spirit that would denounce and repudiate all attempts to erect odious distinctious between those who are entitled to share the blessings and benefits of our free institutions. "Resolved, That the effort to direct the power of the government by anti slavery agitations, under the various names and phases of Free Soilism, Anti-Nebraskaism, Fusionism, and Re publicanism, aud by interfering with the rights of conscience in establishing a religious test as a qualification for office, by the secret oath-bound society of the Know-nothings, is opposed both to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, and to the earnest teachings and practice of its earliest and most honored administrators. " Resolved, That we are now as ever unaltera bly opposed to the doctrines and designs of all organizations which contemplate the overthrow of the civil and religious rights of the citizen, which, like the equality of the States, is a sacred and iualienable right, never to be interfered with by factious parties and reckless legislation, with out a subversion of the primary objects of our political system, and a repudiation of the guar antees of the past, and the hopes of the future. "Resolved, That in the repeal of the act known as the Missouri Compromise act, and the pas sage of the act organizing the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska, free from unconstitu tional restrictions, the last Congress performed a work of patriotic sacrifice, in meeting the demands of sectioual excitement by unshaken adherence to the fundamental law. "Resolved, That this legislation cannot be deemed unnecessary, but that it was expedient to meet the questions of which it disposed, and which couldnever admit of a more easy settle ment than at present. That we recognize in it the application to the Territories of the United States of the rule of 'equal and exact justice to all men,' of all sections of the Con federacy, which was designed by the framerj of our Government, and which was defined as one of its essential principles by the immortal Jefferson. " Resolved, That the Democracy of Pennsyl vania, following the counsel of some of the wisest statesmen of the North and South, were ready on more than one occasion in the past to extend the Missouri Compromise line to the Pacific, so as to make it the basis of a final set tlement of the question of slavery in the Terri tories ; but when this proposition was rejected, in 1848, on the ground that it involved an un due concession to the South, by the very men who now clamor for a restoration of the Mis souri line, there seemed to be but one wise alternative left, and that was to refer the whole question of slavery in the Territories to the people thereof, to be regulated as they may deem proper; and we, therefore, cheerfully ex tend our hearty support to the policy of the Government as recognized in the compromise measures of 1850, and embodied in the laws organizing the Territories of Kansas and Ne braska."

In 1854, twenty-five millions of dollars were sunk in the ocean ; in 1855, which was comparatively free of storms, only fifteen millions, making an average of twenty millions per annum for the two years. NlrMiiloui Preservation of (he Life of a llomnamhnllst. Miss Ann 0. Kilgon, a young lady from Mercer, Maine, who is at Medfiela, Massachu setts, on a visit, last night, about 12 o'clock, left the house of her friends in a state of som nambulism, and walked off a high embank ment into a pond near by. Her shrieks brought to her assistance a young man by the name of Daniel D. Curtis, (who chanced to be passing,) who plunged into the water, and rescued her from drowning, and took her immediately to her friends. Dr. Gallop was called, and suc ceeded in resuscitating her, and she is now doing well. Too much praise cannot be be stowed upon Mr. Curtis for risking his own life to save Miss Kilgon.?Boston TrattlUr, 23d instant. Sioh a gittin up Stairs.?The Scien tific American says that a man in Orange county, New York, was found one night climb ing an^rershot wheel in a fulling mil). He was asked what he was doing. lie said he was " trying to go up to bed, but some how or other these stairs won't hold still." mr The following extract from the speech of Mr. Suinner, in reply to Senator Butlkb, we publish, that our readers uiay see how jua titiable the lion. Mr. Baooxs was in inflicting chastisement on Mr. Sumner for his wantou attack on his relative and State: Mr. fcuiuucr's Uejily to tfanator llutler. But, before entering upon the argument, I must say something of a general character, particularly in response to what has fallen from Senators who have raised themselves to emi nence on this floor iu championship of human wrongs; I mean the Senator Irom South Caro lina, (Mr. Butler,) and the Senator from Illi nois, (Mr. Douglas,) who, though unlike as Don Quixote and Sancho Panzu, yet, like this couple, sally forth together in the same cause. The Senator Irom South Carolina has read many books of chivalry, and believes himself a chivalrous knight, with sentiments of honor and courage. Of course he has chosen a mis tress to whom he has made his vows, aud who, though ugly to others, is always lovely to him ; though polluted in the sight of the world, is chaste in his sight?I mean the harlot, slavery. For her, his tongue is always profuse in words. Let her be impeached in character, or any proposition made to shut her out from the ex tension of her wantonness, and no extrava gance of manner or hardihood of assertion is then too great for this Senator. The frenzy of Don Quixote, in behalf of his wench Dul cinea del Toboso, is all surpassed. The as serted rights of slavery, which shock equality of all kinds, tire cloaked by a fantastic claim of equality. If the slave Slates cannot enjoy what, in mockery of the great fathers of the republic, he misnames equality under the Con stitution?in other words, the full power in the national Territories to compel fellow-men to unpaid toil, to separate husband and wife, and to sell little children at the auction-block? then, sir, ihe chilvalric Senator will conduct the State of South Carolina out of the Union ! Heroic knight! Exalted Senator ! A second Moses come for a second exodus ! With regret, I come again upon the Senator from South Carolina, [Mr. Butler,] who, omni present in this debate, overflowed with rage at the simple suggestion that Kansas had applied for admission as a State; aud, with incoherent phrases, discharged the loose expectoration of his speech, now upon her representative, and then upon her people. There was no extrava gance of the ancient Parliamentary debate which he did not repeat; nor was there any possible deviation from truth which he did not make, with so much of passion, I am glad to | add, as to save him from the suspicion of iu tentional aberration. But the Senator touches nothiug which he does not disfigure?with error, sometimes of principle, sometimes of fact. Lie shows an incapacity of accuracy, whether in stating the Constitution or in stat ing the law, whether in the details of statistics or the diversions of scholarship. He cannot ope his mouth, but out there tlies a blunder. Surely he ought to be familiar with the life of Franklin; and yet he referred to this household character, while acting as agent of our fathers in England, as above suspicion ; and this was done that he might give point to a false con trast which the agent of Kansas?not knowing that, however they may differ in genius and fame, in thiB experience they are alike; that I Franklin, when entrusted with the petition of Massachusetts Bay, was assaulted by a foul mouthed speaker, where he could not be heard in defence, and denounced as a " thief," even as the agent of Kansas had been denounced as a''forger." And let not the Senator be in spired by the parallel with the British states men of that day; for it is only in hostility to Freedom that any parallel can be recognized. But it is against the people of Kansas that the sensibilities of the Senator are particularly aroused. Coming, as he announces, "from a State"?ay, Sir, from South Carolina?he turns with lordly disgust from this newly-!" -ned com munity, which he will not recognize -en as "a body-politic." Pray, Sir, by what title does he indulge in this egotism? Has he read the his tory of "the State" which he represents? He cannot surely have forgotten its shameful im becility from slavery, confessed throughout the Revolution, followed by its more shameful as sumptions for slavery since. He cannot have forgotten its wretched persistence in the slave trade as the very apple of its eye, and the con dition of it? participation in the Union. He cannot have forgotten iu Constitution, which is republican only in name, confirming power in the hands of the few, and founding the quali fications of its legislators on "a settled freehold estate and ten negroes." And yet the Senator, to whom that "State" has in part committed the guardianship of jts good name, instead of moving with backward treading steps, to cover its nakedness, rushes forward, in the very ccstacy of madness, to expose it by provoking a comparison with Kansas. South Carolina is old; Kansas is young. South Carolina counts by centuries; where Kansas counts by years. But a beneficent example may be born in a day; and I venture to say, that against the two centuries of the older "State," may be already set the two years of trial, envolving correspond ing virtue, in the younger community. In the one, is the long wail of slavery; in the other, the hymns of freedom. And if we glance at special achievements, it will be difficult to find anything in the history of South Carolina which presents so much of heroic spirit in an heroic cause as appears in that repulse of the Missouri invaders by the beleaguered town of Lawrence, where even the women gave their effective efforts to Freedom. The matrons of Rome, who poured their jewels into the trea sury for the public defence?the wives of Prussia, who, with delicate fingers, clothed their defenders against French invasion?the mothers of our own Revolution, who sent forth their sons, covcred over with prayers and bles sings, to combat for huti?n rights, did nothing of ael (sacrifice truer than did these women on this occasion. Were the whole history of South Carolina blotted out of existence, from its very beginning down to the day of the last election of the Senator to his present seat on this floor, civilization might lose?I do not say how little; but surely less than it has already gained by the example of Kansas, in its valiant struggle against oppression, and in the de velopement of a new science of emigration. Already in Lawrence alone there are news papers and schools, including a high school, and throughout this infant Territory there is more mature scholarship far, in proportion t? its inhabitants, than in all South Carolina. Ah, sir, 1 tell tho Senator that Kansas, welcomed as a free State, will be a "ministering angel" to the Republic, when South Carolina, in the cloak of flarknes? which she hugs, "lies howl 'n?'" Sir, this is the Senate of the United States, an important body, under the Constitution, with groat powers. Its members are jus tiy supposed, from age, to be above the intemper ance of youth, aud from character to be aU>ve the gusts of vulgarity. They are supposed to have something of wisdom, and something of that candor which is the handmaid of wisdom. I>ct the Senator bear these things in mind, and let him remember, hereafter, that the bowie knife and bludgeon are not the proper emblems of senatorial debate. Let him romemlier that the swagger of Bob Acres and tho ferocity of the Malay cannot add dignity to this body. The Senator has gone on to infuse into his speech the venom which has been sweltering for months?ay, for years; and he has alleged facts that are entirely without foundation, in order to heap upon me the same personal oblo quy. I will not go into the details which have flowed out so naturally from his tongue. I only brand them to his face as false. 1 say, also, to that Senator, and I wish him to bear it in mind, that no person with the upright form of man can be allowed?-[Hesitation.] Mr. Douglas?Say it. Mr. Sumner?I will say it?no person with tho upright form of man can be allowed, with ff - l. ! IJJ 1L , out violation of all decency, to switch out from bin tongue the perpetual stench of offensive personality. Sir, this is uot a proper weapon of debate, at least, on this tloor. The noisome, squat, and nameless animal, to which I now re fer, is not a proper model for au Americar Senator. Will the Senator from Illinois take notice ? Mr. Douglas?1 will; and therefore will not I imitate you, sir. Mr. Sumner?I did not hear the Senator. Mr. Douglas?I said if that bo the case I | would certainly never imitate you in that capa city, recognizing the force of the illustration. Mr. Sumner?Mr. President, again the Sen utor has switched his tongue, and again he fills the Senate with its offensive odor. OOKT&HX3BS. In thi Senate, on Tuesday, May ii7, 1S66, Mr. Trumbull gave notice of hi* intention to intro duce a bill to prevent civil war and restore peace in Kantian. A bill lo provide for the introduction of a uni form national code of murine signal* waa passed. Mr. Slidell called ihe attention of ihe Senate to a telegraphic dispatch giving Mr. Sumner'* statement before the House committee, published in the morning Baltimore paper*. lie said Mr. Sumner's statement declares: "Oilier persons were about me, at a distance, looking on and offering no assistance, of whom I recognised only Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, Mr. Toombs, 01 Georgia, and, I thought also, my as sailant, standing between them. I was helped from the lloor and conducted into the lobby of the Senate, where I was placed upon a sofa. Of those who helped me there I have no recollection. As I entered the lobby I recognised Mr. Slide!!, of Louisiana, who retreated, but I recognised no one else until I fell a friendly grasp of the hand, which seemed to come from Mr. Campbell, of Ohio." Mr. Slidell stated that it seemed to him proper to explain his own position in relation to this matter, as the statement published might cause a false impression in the public mind. When the Senate adjourned on that day, be entered the ante room where he engaged in conversation with Messrs Douglas, Fitzpalrick, and J. Glancy Jones; and while there stated he was informed that Mr. Sumner had been badly beaten by^Mr. Brooks. He came into the chamber, but tb'ere were so many persons crowded around Mr. Sumner that he did not see hun at all, and he toon returned to the ante-room to tinish hi* conversation. Having remained there for some time, he was passing through the reception room to go home, when he met Mr. Sumner In the door, leaning on two persons whom he did not know. His face was covered with blood; and a* Mr. Slidell was not ou such terms of intercourse as to inake it necessary to express any sympathy, not having spoken to Mr. dumner for two years, he turned aside and went out by another door. He bad not the slightest idea before the occurrence look place that Mr. Brooksoranybody else had any intention of attacking Mr. Sumner, and was entirely free from any participation or counsel in the matter. Mr. Douglas corroborated the statement of Mr. Slidell. When he heard that Mr. Sumner had been attacked, his first idea ?a to come in and endeavor to restore quiet; but upon reflecting that his motives in interfering might be mis construed, he did not enter the Senate chamber until the utiray was over. The crowd around Mr. Sumner was then so large that for some time he could not see him. He saw Mesara. Toombs, fearce, Crittenden, and Evans all seated in or near their usual seats; but he was not near Mr. Brooks, as stated in the report. This was a total misapprehension on Mr. Sumner's part. Mr. Douglas added that he had no knowledge or sus picion that any assault was contemplated or would be made, either here or elsewhere. He did not approach Mr. Brooks nor speak to him, and was not within fifty feet of the Senator from Georgia. How such an idea could have got into Mr. Sumner's head it was impossible lor him to conceive. The published statement might carry the impression over the country that he was aiding and abetting the assault, and was, in fact, a participant in it; but that was an an tirely erroneous idea, as he did not even know that Mr. Sumner was in the Capitol at the time the assault waa commuted. Mr. Toombs remarked that he was in his seat at the time, and how Mr. Sumner could have supposed that he saw him near Mr. Brooks, he could not tell. It might be ihat in the confusion Mr. Sumner mistook Gov. Gorman for him. In expressing his opinions about the affair at the tuue, some gentlemen condemned it, but he told Mr. Brooks that he approved of it. Mr. Butler had just arrived in the city, and said that be should have assumed all the responst biluy which had Iteen taken by his gallant rela- 1 live He denied in the most emphatic manner the siatemenl of Mr. Sumner, that wbat he bad said in his speech was atrictfy in response to what Mr. Butler had said on former occasions. He un derstood that the Stale of Massachusetts bad passed reso!u(ion* in reference to the affray, and when those resolutions shou d be presented to the Senate he would speak on the subject aa it deserved?not a single one of the remarks, which had been quoted in application to him, was a re sponse to anything be had said upon the Kansas question. His friend* in Sooth Carolina, and some of his friends here, thought that he had been remarkably moderate in the character of hi* remarks. He had scrupulously avoided saying anything to violate the courtesies of the Senatorial debates, and spoke taeither of the Senator from Massachusetts, to him, or about him. Mr. Wade said that it was impoaaible for hut to sit atill and hear such principles avowed aa had been on this occasion. As to ihe facta in refer ence to the assault, he knew nothing about them and had nothing to say on that point. He wa? bete in a pretty lean minority, not more than one fifih of the Senate entertaining opinions similar to his; but when he heard it stated upon this floor that >u assassin like, cowardly attack had been made upon a man unarmed and h^vieg no power to defend h maelf, and that he ha<l been stricken down and almost murdered, and tben heard a Senator avow that he approved such conduct, it became a mailer of aome interest and some im portance to ail the memliers of the body, and the minority eapecially. A brave man rould not de fend himself sgainst such attacks aa thia, and be might be overpowered by number*; but over powered or not, live or die, (said be.) I will vindi cate the rights of liberty of debate and itie freedom ol discission, so long as I live If the principle avowed here is to prevail, let ua come armed for ihe coniliat. Although you are four to one, I am here to meet you! A m?n can die in no betier cause than in vindicating the rigbta of debate upon this floor. If theae principles are to be ap proved by the majority, ?nd become a part and parcel of the law of Congress, let it be under stood. Mr. Wilson thought that the explsnation of the Senator from Louisisna was not inconsistent with anything aisled by hia colleague He had no idea that Mr. Sumner intended lo place Mr. Slidell in a false position. The Senator from Illinois has also made his explanation, and I see nothing in thai inconsistent with the statement of Mr. Sum' ner. He was struck down upon ibis floor by a brutal, murderous and cowardly assault. Mr. Butler, (in his aeat?Yon are a liar! Mr. Stuart called the Senntor to order He also urged that there wa? no question before the Senate, and it was evident that the debate was Itecommg sciimonioiis, and he hoped it might be postponed until the matter could be oonaidered with more calmness Mr. Butler sp<rlogiced for a word which fell ' from him in a moment of excitement. Mr. Wil-son proceeded to aay that his colleague had slated the facts to the best of his recollection, nnd it was not to be expected thot after such severe blows, which hart rendered him unoon scious, he could be perfectly accurate in every minute particular. He did not believe that he had intended to do injustice to anybody. When he should have recovered snd be able to take his I' place i i the Sensts, lie would be ready to meet the Senator from South Carolina, or any other Senntor, in debate upon these matters; and any assumption of SO peri riiy by the Senator from South Carolina over him or any other Senntor re j presenting his views, might pa.a for what il waa worth. Mr. Butler said thst in discussing the reaolu t ions of the Massachusetts Legislature, il he trans '' gressed the bounds of propriety, il would l>e he* i cause he was provoked to it. He never had been ' the aggressor, and he called u[K>n the Senate to bear witness to that fact. Mr. Foster alluded to the avowal of Mr. Toombs that he approved of Mr. Rrooks'a conduct and thought it incumbent on htm aa he was a new member of the Senate and had not participated in I ita debates to sny considerable extent, to say a word aa to the reaaona for hia course. If he should remain silent now it might be tniainter preted, and some might suppose his silence waa i through fear of the like consequencea to himself. lie wicked to disabuse the minds of ail the members of the Senate, it' any such tuisappre liension existed. He bad thus far participated but slightly in debate, because, being a new member, he thought it would be more becoming for him to listen iliau speak. But wlieu un inti mation of this kind was made it jmght be sup posed it Senators did not speak, a passion so base and unworthy as fear was the reason of their silence. He now wished to assert bis entire approval of freedom qf speech here pr elsewhere, to be maintained at whatever price,at whatever cost and whatever be the consequence*. If the contrary doctrine should ever prevail lit tins country there would be an end to liberty, for be believed as religiou>>ly as he believed anything that the liberty of the press, liberty of speech and ihe liberty of the people would livt and die together. Mr. Trumiiull. wished to speak on this topic about five minutes, but the hour had arrived lor the consideration of the special order. The President's veto on the bill for the im provement of the mouth of the Misnippi river was di?cussed, without taking the question, till the adjournment. In the House ok Rkpkesentatives. Mr. Wal ?kidqk, from the Committee on Public Lands, re ported a bill granting luads in alternate sections to Michigan in aid of railroads?about thirteen thousand acres He said the main features of the bill were a prerise copy of other tirailar actc. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, asked him to with draw his demand for the previous question. He thought opportunity should be -afforded the ene mies of such bill to be heard. Mr. Wamiridqe replied thnt he had moved the previous question to *ave useless discussion, the principles being well understood, having !>een debated for the last ten years. Mr. Craigk thought the bill should at least be printed to afford an opportunity for examination. The gag should not be applied. A motion to table the call for the previous ques tion was negatived ?yeas 67, nays 80. The bill was finally passed yeas 78, nays 67. The House then adjourned. In thr Senate, yesterday, Mr. Pearce from the select committee to investigate the facts at tending the assault on Mr. Sumner, made a re port in writing, which was read. The rep >rt "tales that precedents are to be found only in the action of the House of Representatives, the Senate never having been called upon to pronounce judgment In a similar case. Several precedents are cited, and the committee come to the co^clus on, that, although the assault was a violation of the privi eges of the Senate, it is net within their jurisdic ;ion; and the offence can only be punished by the House, of which Mr. Brooks is a member. This conclusion is in strict conformity w.th the parliamentary law and the requirements of the Constitution ; and they therefore recommend that the Senate make a complaint to the House; and submit a resolution that the report be accepted, and that a copy thereof, with the affidavits ac companying ihe same, be transmitted to the House of Representatives. The resolution was agreed to; Mr. Toombs ilone voting " nay." The Senate considered the President's veto of he hill lor the improvement of the mouth of the Mississippi, and Mr. Mason made a speech in lupport of the views of the Executive. Mr. Cass has the floor for to-day on that ques tion. The Senate adjourned. In the Hot'bE of Representatives, a number of bills were introduced, and appropriately re ferred; among them, one by Mr. Caruther?, to cede the public lands to the States in u hich they lie, and a bill, by Mr. Th jrington, granting lamls to the territories of Miunesota, Nebraska, and Kansas, for the construction of railroad* therein. Mr. Bennett, of New York, from the Commit tee on Public Lands. re)>orled a bill granting lands to Louisiana for railroad purposes. It was passed?yea? 62, nays 58. The bill appropriates about u million of acres for three railroads in Louisiana. Re venae Cutter Officers Ordered. Captain Richard Evana, 1st Lieut. Osmond Peters and 3d Lieut. Wm. E.
