TO procure an honest livelihood. Two
hundred and seven avtwed :hisye, attend

An address was proposed TO Lord Ash

their obtaining an honest living in the Rri-
fish Colonies. His Lor!ship expressed
his willingness TO beiriend them, as it was
his duty TO do. He candidly told them
that there was little hope for them, unless
they turned their attention to the back set

OF levity as may be these facts, there is
something serious and solemn in them,

that such was the fact-indeet, several
members Of that party were heard TO boast
how near they were in gulling the South.
But s,uaiously did Brown keep it conceal
ed. Near his seat was Virginia Demo-
crat who told me that when Giddings yo-
ted, Brown turned to him and said, Dam

voting for me. But know his object
1t is hostility to this Administration. He
says that he will put that down or put

Union q the WING. and Free se,,.r,.

eff we are opposed to any such move"-well, we
What is more, we also utter the sentiment Of the
whig party in the declaration we have made. Would
you have been as prompt and candid, under the
same circumstances, Mr. Gazetteer We trow not.
Your party is always glad to get the cooperation
OF the abolitionists, when they think they need
their services. We had not seen the ssdata,'' to
which the Gazette REFERS until after our last weeks
publication. We are opposed to it, because the
free soil leaders, generally, seem willing to make
over their rank and file first to one party and then
another, apparently irrespective of principle, for
the sake Of Office. This is enough for Us, without
being influenced by the late ssBrown affair in Con-
gress. We go for principies-the principles OF the
Wing party, as illustrated on this very point by
r. G. Winthrop-and we believe those principles,
wherever they understood and appreciated, will
commend themselves and will finally triumph among
the masses, as the true and highest cast Of demo-
cracy. At any rate, we had rather be in hopeless
minority and be defeated thousand times, adher-
ing to such principles, than " purchase victory at
the price offered. We cannot bargain ani dicker
with set of men who have so bitterly slandered
our beloved Chief Magistrate and worthy standard
bearer, as the free soilcrs have done. our prin-
ciples suit them, let them vote ticket if they
will, but don't permit them to sBrown'' it with the
Wings Of Iowa, while they are hand and glove with
the locos in Connecticut. We are Massachusetts,
Wing and eschew all such trickery.

Ma Ross IN Foar MADrsox.-We learn By gen.
tlemaE from st Louis, who spent Monday night in
Madison, that after the Lecture that evening, 4
lot OF rum rowd;es attacked the Eagle Hotel about
eleven O'Clock, for the purpose of assaalting and
perhaps numbering HIr Ross. The assalants broke
the door and rushed in, armed with biudgeons, guns
and pistols, to the number Of about forty. In re-
pelling their assault, our highly esteemed friend,
c. II. PERay, Esq, was struck on the heed by a
club, which cut cash Of several inches and laid
bare his skull. Judge Williams was present and
eventually secured cessation OF hostili;ies. On
Tuesday morning there was more difficulty, but we
have not learned the particulars. We are inclined
to think that the Temperance men in that place win
hardly permit themselves to be thus travelled over
"rough shod aud stse, corIed,' with impunity. If
such 81 asssu. had been made here, il would have
been the death kncl to the rum selling business in
Burlington.
