Bully Brooks at Home.
The "chivalrous assalant Of Senator
Sumner, experienced public reception a,
Columbia, S. G., last week, and was pre-.
sented with pitcher, goblet, and cane,
for his devotion to the Slave Power. Ga
the extremely interesting occasion, he
made speech, from sketch Of which
We make the annexed extracts:
lie would indulge in no language Of
disrespect towards the people of the North
but he did believe that the same mental
organization which would lead man into
the ranks Of Black Repubiicanism, would
make him incapable of anything great,
good or man .........A As TO his own posi-.
ton, he tcas nOtc ns he ,rdS an 1851, n CO.
operation disunionisf He thought it best
to dissolve the government under which
We now live. But in doing this, there
was difference Of opinion as TO the means
to be employed. He believed tia, some
/ thing was due to our sister Southern
| States, who had the same interests at stake
as we-that we should be prepared to act
with them and to wait on them. When
in his speech Of resignation, he said that
1t was IN bis power to begin revolution, be
made 10 Idle boast. He was not eg0tisti-
cal enough to believe tha, be had inteliec-
tual power enough for the task bat what
he meant was, ,ha. had he, during the de-
bate on his expulsion, walked up and
slapped the face of the prominent man Of
the Black Republican party, storm would
have been raised which would have ended
only in the hall of the House being
drcnched in blood In coming next to
the subject of the Presidency he felt, in
view Of the politics Of some of bis hear
ers, that he was touching upon delicate
question. lie was for Nr. BUCHAN-
AN, and be thought it the duy If Tie oeo-
pie Of this State to aid in the election of
that gentleman For whom else can We
60? Fillmore was man Of irreproacha-
bic character, and excellent in his private
relations. But lie was politically objec-
tionable. As to Fremont, he was the
Black Republican candidate-a soldier
who had never won battle and states
man who had never made speech. 1t
was said that he was a native Of this
State, but it seemed about as Difficult. to
6x upon his birth place as it is to deter-
NINE nho his fIihrr lcGs..........From u
sense of honor, from sense Of duty from
gratitude, Franklin Pierce was his first
choice : and whatever others might think,
he felt sure that tbs glorious man would
be rcgar1ed by posterity as the peer of fany
President rrho preccded him.........NOr
was Mr.. Buchanan his second choice.
That rested upon Senator Douglas, whom
he knew to be sure and reliable, and who,
in his advocacy of the Kansas and Ne
braska bill, had periled bis political pros
poets, and destroyed his chances for the
Presidcncy.........Mr. Buchanan, although
not unexceptionable, was an able, dignifed
and conservative statesman, and he enter
taj'ned not douJt but that if elected, be
would be taithtm TO the Constitution and
to The South. Moreover, we should sup.
port him, because he stands pledged to
PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES which, if carried
ont in the proper spirit, must command
our appreciation.
Soon, said he, the great question Of the
Presidency will be settled and if, on the
second Monday Of November next, it shall
be found .bst Fremont is elected, be tho,
our course is plain. 1t was his deliberate
opinion that are shouH then, on tie An of
Marci nert, march to Washington, seize
tie archires and treasury Of The gorern-
ment, and leaoc the consequences to God.
Let US pass over the gasconadc of the
concluding paragraph. If Fremont is
elected, and the redoubtable Brooks carry
out his threat, we advise bis army to fur,
nish themselves with collins They will
need them. Like Jackson with the South

BUCHANAN NORTH AND SoUTH.-Thc
Southern face of the Cincinnati nominee
is presented by his Southern organ and
here it is as painted by the Eicksburg
Sentinel-It says
owe dare any ono to point to single
vote that Mr.. Buchanan ever gave, during
his Congressional career, involving the
question of slavery, that was not on the
side of the South, and opposed to the
Abolitionis,s."
The Providence Or l. Post, as Jealous
n Buchanan organ as the Richmond En-
quirer, introduces him to New England
public thus:
"Mr Buchanan never uttered a sen.
tenco in defence Of slavery, or whispered
a word in favor of its existence, or cast a
vote which any honest man could construe
in support Of the institution"
