"a SUGGEsTIoS.-To our brethren of the
Press and to all those opposed to the present
National Administration, we would offer a
suggestion which we believe will be produc-
tive of good and lasting results. We propose
that, in the Congressional, Senatorial and Le-
Gislativc districts, union tickets be formed,
and to effect that desirable object a call be
prepared similar to the Harrisburg call; and
let conterees be appointed in different districts
to meet in convention at such time and such
place as may be hereafter fixed upon, but by
all means, let the action be speedy. BY an
union of all parties opposed 70 the rotten dy-
nasty of Pierce, the three districts named can
be easily carried, and VIC appeal earnestly to
our friends to act at once upon our suggestion.
Clarion Banner.
Being in the same Congressional district
with Clarion, VIC concur in the suggestion
made by the Banner. What We want is union.
and if it is effected in proper season, which
can be done if the proper exertions are made,
there can be little doubt of success-proyided
we get out a good and true man. But. as the
Warren Mail, which heartily favors the move
ment suggested, says, sswe want no more slim
shod, half-and-half candidates. Mr.. Barclay
pretended to be Anti-N ebraska and Anti-Pope,
whereby many honest voters were cheated. -,

Don't MIX Up THE BABIEs.-Thc Albany
knckerbockcr gives the following account Of
q curious affair which occurred in family of
that city, few days since A mother and
her daughter were both confined on the same
day, each having little son. In the hustle of
the moment, both were placed in the cradle,
and to the confusion of the mothers, when the
youngsters we're taken from the cradle, they
were unable TO tell which was the mothers and
which the daughters son-a matter which. of
course, must ever remain a mystery. The
family is in the greatest distress over the affair."

BILL PASSED Congress-. which gives Iowa
about two millions of acres of land, for the
purpose of building four parallel lines of rail-
roads through the State, with one branch road.
One line from Washington to the mouth of
Platte river one from Davenport to Council
Bluffs; one from .yons to the Missouri river
and one from Dubuque to Sioux city. It is
supposed that this bill win close all the land
offices in the State, and throw all the unsold
lands into the hands of the railroad. The
President has given it his signature.
The committee on Public Lands reported a
bill granting million Of acres Of land 70 Flor
ida, to aid in the construction of railroads. 1t
is also rumored that the committee intend re-
porting similar bills for railroads in Michigan,
Alabama and Wisconsin.

REPORTED WARLIKE OPERATIONS AGAINST
NICARAGUA AND Observation-Disclosures from
Havana reports the Spanish government as fit
ting out an expedition against Walker aud
Nicaragua, and that Spanish force is to
blockade and bombard Vera Cruz, to enfo-cc
certain claims due from Mexico. Too much
credence should not be given to these rumors
IN the form in which they are presented
Without first having made declaration of
war, Spain would not commence hostilties
against Nicaragua; and the payment OF any
just claim due by Mexico would only be re-
tarded by the blockade of one of her princi-
pal ports, the destruction of which. instead of
improving the bankrupt treasury of Mexico,
would only increase the embarrassment of the
government. There is an unusual activity, il
il true, among Spanish vessels of war but, il
is thought, If any expeditions against Walker
are being fitted out by Spaniards, they are in
dvidual affairs, not authorized by the govern
ment, though it may make no special efforts
TO suppress them. Should Walker be success
fui, the invasion of Cuba will doubtlessly soon
follow; and, therefore, Spain cannot be much
blamed if she does permit, though she NAV
not give official sanction TO the fitting out of
expeditions which may prevent Walker from
succeeding in Nicaragua.

ROWDYIsM IN CONGRESS.

Immediately after the adjournment Of Con
gress, on the I'D inst, whilst Mr.. Sumner was
yet sitting in his arm chair in the Senate cham
Der, Mr.. Brooks, member, we believe of the
lower House, from South Carolina, entered
and approached Mr.. Sumner, accusing him of
libelling South Carolina and his grey haired
relative, Mr., Butler, in some remarks which
Mr.. S. had made the day before, in reply to
Mr.. Butler, in the Senate. Mr. Brooks then
struck Mr.. Sumner such heavy blow with his
cane rs knocked him down, aud repeated the
blows until Mr.. Sumner was deprived of the
power of speech, Mr.. S. calling in the mean
time for help, but no one interfered, although
several members were in the chamber at the
time. When Brooks desisted, Mr.. Sumner was
picked up and carried to his room. The ply
sicians say he has the most severe flesh wounds
they ever saw mans head, and deny his
friends admission to him. Brooks has been
arrested, and held TO bail for his appearance.
This is another beautiful display of 'ssouthern
chivalry." To denounce the conduct of Mr.
Brooks as brutal and outrageous, is to call it
by the mildest term it deserves, and we arc
glad to see it almost universally condemned
by the press. The Philadelphia Ledger says
that, in all the experience of ruffianism in
Congress, In has never heard of more wan
ton, brutal and unmanly act. This assault on
Mr.. Sumner, if it is not, should be regarded as
breach of privilege. Congress has but in
few cases undertaken TO punish such breach,
preferring TO hand over the offender to the law
courts. But this is such an aggravated case,
that, if the House has any regard for its dig
nifty and for the protection due member OF
the highest legislative body, it viii at once
cxpel Brooks, which will serve as an example
for all others who may feel disposed 10 indulge
in like rufhanly attacks upon pcaceable and
decent men.

LATER FROM KANSAS.
REIGN OF TERROR IN THE TERRITORY

Dates from Leaycrrw Kansas, to Satur-
day the 18th, are received. Wednesday, the
2Ist, had been fixed upon for the attack on
Law: ence. There is Q general reign of terror
in the Territory. Two cannon had crossed the
river at Gibson, destined for Lawrence. Blu
ford's regiment were enrolled in the militia,
and furnished with United States arms by Gov.
Shannon. The Frec-State men want arms and
ammunition. Donaldson United States Mar
shall) has proclaimed his intention TO make
clean work Of what he has TO do this time.
Gov. Robinson is still imprisoned at Lexing-
ton.
The correspondent of Tie Jefferson (Missou-
ri) Enquirer states that-a petition is being
circulated in the border counties praying for
the immediate removal ofCol. Sumner.
Mr.. Brown, Editor of The Herald Of Freedom
writes that mob entered the hotel al Kansas
City where he was staying, and dragged of a
man whom they supposed to be himself. On
discovering their mistake. they returned and
demanded him of the proprietor, who refused
to deliver him up to them. y company of
Michigan emigrants then entered the hotel to
protect the occupants. The mob were Still
surrounding the hotel and gathering reinforce
ments at the close of his letter. No authen-
tic intelligence has been received concerning
his (Brown's) fate since his capture. s
The Kansas correspondent of The 81. Louis
Democrat writes under date OF the 18th inst.
that Eight to twelve hundred men were encamp-
ed near Lecompton.
The people of Lawrence had sent note to
Col. Sumner, asking him TO station a body of
troops in the vicinity to prevent the mob from
proceeding to sanguinary extremities. He
declined, saying he had no power to move
without order.
Mr.. Cox of Lawrence waited on Marshal
Donaldson TO ascertain if anything could be
done peaceably to prevent his monster posse
entering the town. Mr. Donaldson said their
demands must be complied with--that every
man against whom process was issued should
be surrendcred-that all munitions Of war in
Lawrence should be delivered up, aud that
the citizens OF Lawrence should pledge them
selves under oath to implicitly obey the enact
mcntS under which the Territory is governed.
Upon receipt of this, the citizens held q
meeting and drew up 4 letter to the Marshal,
stating that any person acting under him
would be allowed TO execute legal process
against any inhabitants OF Lawrence, and that
if called upon, they would serve as a posse in
aiding the arrest /; that there would not now
or at any future time be any resistance TO the
law, and that they only awaited an opportunity
to testify their fidelity to the Union and the
Constitution. They claimed to be law abiding
order-loving citizens, and asked the protec-
tion of the constituted authorities.
The purport of the Marshal's answer was,
that he did not believe the promises of the
people of Lawrence-that ho regarded them
as rebels and traitors-and that they should
know what his demands were when he came.

Washington, May 23-In reply to resolu-
tion offered by Mr.. Barbour, in the House of
Representatives., requesting the President to
communicate whether United States soldiers
had been employed in Kansas to arrest persons
charged with the violations of certain suppc-
sed laws enacted by 4 supposed Legislature,
assembled at the Shawne Mission, ETC., the
Secretary OF War responds, that by instruc-
tions from his Department, dated the 18th of

The telegraph brings terrible news from
Kansas, which sends sorrow into the hearts
of many of our immediate neighbors. The
Capt. Brown and son who are spoken of
as killed, after having been made prisoner
at Ossawattamie, were former residents of
Hudson, Summit County. Three SONS of
Capt. John Brown first went to Kansas, and
after some months the father hearing of
the troubles there, followed his boys, and
now lies by the side of one of them, mer-
cilessly murdered while prisoner, by those
ruffians who obey no law of humanity, not
even the code recognized in savage warfare.
Another son is one ofthe prisoners in Kan
sas, along with Robinson.
The late Owen Brown, the father of Capt.
John Brown, was one of the first settlers III
Hudson, and the family is well known and
highly respected. Capt. John Brown, just
killed, was of the firm of Perkins & Brown
awhile since, wool-dealers at Akron; the
deceased has brother, Frederick Brown,
an extensive cattle dealer of Hudson, and
another BROTHER Oliver Brown, of New
burgh in this county.
Intense excitement exists at Hudson and
vicinity, and Meetings are being held with
reference to the death Of the Browns.
Further bloody work has no doubt been
already done in Kansas, and we do not be-
lieve Free State man will be left in the
Tanitory.-Ckcp Herald
