the New York Evening Posi- with mock gravity dwes upon
the story through half column and treats il as
grand discovery of Its The Post is perhaps jealous Of
the distinction enjoyed by the Herald the chief of
hackers perhaps supposes that the story will succeed
better with its endorsement than upon the simple bad

the Post the whole story in all its parts and Details
false and baseless The leading democrats thus falsely
charged earnestly zealonsy efficiently and constantly
at work for the of Mr. Buchanan and they have
fears election going into the Housa result which they
would consider public calamity and against the occur

proposed to make on this occasion, he should
not much advert to particular improvement
provided for in the bill before the Senate, the
importance of which had been SO eloquently set
forth by the two Senators from Louisiana, as to
the improvements at St. Marys River and St.

medately interested, and which had also been
vetoed by the President, no man could fail to see
that the views fthe President had undergone

Mr.. Douglas said the proposition before the
Senate was plain one, namely, whether they
would admit Kansas into the Union with the
Topeka Constitution. or whether they would
substitute the proposition which had been mod.
ifed to obviate the objections made against it,
and adopted By the Senate. After full and
thorough examination the other night there
was no evidence whether the majority or mi
nonty Of the people of Kansas voted for the
Topeka Constitution, but it is known that the
Constitution which had been presented here
and which is now proposed to be legalized,
was a maltreated document, and that the fact
was ascertained not only from the general re-
port aud newspaper statement, but was proved
by the report of the House Committee of In.
vestigation, In commenting on that repor
the other night, Mr.. Douglas characterized il
as partial, unfair and unreliable. He argued
the fairness ind just ness of the proposition
submitted to him.

on Territories, said the bill reported might ap-
pear very plausible, but the existing circum-
stances Of the case rendered the adoption of
that measure exceedingly improper. He be-
leived the only true and sound mode ofredress
for existing evils, was just to remove the cause
fthose evils. 1t would not do to say that
hose evils should be reuedied, and at the same
time declare that the cause which produced
them should not be touched.
Such course seemed to be unreasonable,
inconstant and paradoxical with reference to
the provision allowing the settlers TO return to
Kansas, he said there was a blockade of the
territory by men of violence, whose habitations
were full of insolence and of cruelty, and thus
it was impossible for them to get back
The same power that drove them away was
still in the ascendency, for no provisions have
been made for their security in the territory.
Thus it was but mockery Of justice in the ter
ritory. Thus it was but a mockery of justice
to tell them if they would return they would
be allowed to vote, while they had not the
power to return. Hence they would derive
no advantage from the bill, although its prop
Osition appeared to be so fair and plausible.- =

Trial of Brooks-The District Attorney
said he had used due diligence, though un.
successfully, to obtain the presence ofMr. Sum-
ner, who had expressed himself as having no
desire to take part in the proceedings, and had
left the city.
Testimony was then given by Mr.. s. Leder,
who caused the arrest of Mr.. Brooks, after the
assault on Mr., Sumner, and by ]. W. Lincoln,
Mr.. Keith, and Senators Foster, Pearce, and
Toombs,
The last witness Toombs, read in mitiga-
ton of the assault, at the instance of Mr.. Linz
coin, Counsel for the accused, extracts from
Mr.. Summers speech, rejecting on South Car
olina and Mr.. Butler.
Drs. Doyle and Lundly, and Senator Benja
min, also gave their testimony.
The last expressed the opinion, judging from
what he saw of Mr.. Summers notes, that he,
| (Mr. Sumner) had his speech printed before
its delivery.
Mr.. Brooks made short speech, regretIing
that Mr. Sumner was absent. He had hoped
for the benefit ofinterrogation concerning Sum
ner's testimony before the House Committee,
that he would be present. He took the ground
that there are some offences of which the law
affords no adequate remedy. He said while
he had heart to feel and hand to strike, be
