NEW YORK, Jews 2.
La an hour the telegraph flashed the startling sews
of the mauls spos Mr. Sumner to a hondrod
and to minims of ram. It **loaded like the tocsin

body adjourned to the great hall of the Kw ale Temple,

to its almost capacity, sad thoseaads mold lot get mimes.

appeal was aids to the whole cewatry. That appeal has
been widely responded to, sad public meetings ors being
everywhere held. Colleges and literary iestitations have
spoken. Kr. Suanser's hotel is crowded with visitors coma
lo ezprsart for his their sympathy sad respect. Thus com-
mences • new and healing indnenea in a republic hitherto
dedicated to slavery.

This great straggle Is now no longer for the imams of
the Alricas race in oar republic. It hes become a war for
the righle of white nten—a strife for the rights of sovereign
states in a voluntary confederation—a battle for the libery '
of debate in the supreme legislatare of the oountry—is
Maggie for the purity and inviolability of the ballot boa;
in a word, the question is now to be tested whether the
slave oligarchy (350,000 men, WOWS, and childreo) shall
enslave, degrade, and grind into the dust nearly thirty mul-
lion people.

Arun' the incideate which have marked the prorate of
this dark sad umlauts strife between the Slave and the Free
States, no oeurrenee has produced so startriog au effect as
this oowardly sad bloody exhibition of border ',allusion in
the American Senate. It has hastened that great crisis
which is so me la the loag ran to come, who slavery,
with all its horrors sad atrocities, will be blotted out trout
oar republic. It will hurry on this asinnunatioa to a
mach earlier Woe, by precipitating the Free State men o►
the Noah tato a crusade against slavery when it exists.
This strife began by as attempt as the part of the South to
force slavery w►ere the South bad by solemn compact de-
shred it should serer ge. So lug si the South stood by
itt compromises on this subject, we were for the smut port
entirely Italie, to let her bear t►e responsibilities of
'luny, and protest her in all her cosititatioul rights. The
abolitionists proper were • small, as latigatileant party,
they were hardly worthy of the arum of a clique. But
when we a•w that the histitution of slavery—grown strops
end uteetieg—had began to eatrouth upon the &mils of
freedom, • new aad more formidable soutbseat aping up
is the Free States. Bat still we yielded to one dowsed from
the South after aaothsr, until we fogad that we mut make
• Soil stand and yield so more.
This was the public Wring of the North when the Kansas
Bill was pissed. And eyes this bill might have gone brio opt-
Istio• without seriously disturbing the public stied, had not
• most wicked sad imbued-of striae of wrongs, Insults, and
'litanies been perpetrated fa carrying it out. But than
wrong", faults, and vaults were perpetrated in broad
daylight, from week to week, sad from mouth to mont►.
At last things rushed such • point that one of the most
illustrious senators was struck down es hie own Suite door,
la the Immediate preemie of the altar of public liberty, by •
member of Cougreos—s slavery propagandist—a Kansas
eliampian—cad a duler la humus Sub and blood.
