a serious riot of militia occurred at Ne

telegraphed--one thousand troops Of the

with three double-cylinder and double-pump

Bully Brooks Backs Out.

The New York Herald contains Mr..
Brooks's narration Of the affair between
himself and Mr.. Burlingame. naL aFi e'-.
After giving the antecedents of the affair
down to the acceptance of the challenge, he
closes thus i" He, Mr.. Burlingame, requires
me to meet him in Canada, distance of 700
miles by the mail route, running through
the enemy's country, and through Yhica no
man knows better than Mr.. Burlingame that
l could not pass without running the gaunt-
let cf mobs, of assassins, prisons, peniten.
fiaries, caitiffs and constables. He knew
that could never get to Canada, and that
were / to do so, and he were to fall, that
never would get back. He might as well
have designated Boston Common. His pro-
position is of so preposterous character,
that the public will appreciate it without
comment from me. When he repudiated the
memorandum which was prepared by his
friends, and delivered in his own presence,
felt sympathy for a proud man, driven to do
wrong that he might retrieve the honor of
his state, which had been tarnished by un-
worthy representatives, but his last condi-
ton is worse than the former, and deliver
him to that condemnation which honora-
ble men in every community will strongly
inflict. l have no further demands upon
him, but should he be screwed up to the
point Of making demands upon me, ] will
treat him as a gentleman, and meet him at
any convenient place upon equal terms.

Wings of Pennsylvania repudiate the Gin
cinnati platform and the man who has been
and is now, one Of the most unscrupulous
enemies of their principles and their party

adopted, among which we discover the fol-
lowing: ~ =
ResoJued, That in James Buchanan we re-
cognize the maligner, traducer and persecu-
tor of Henry Clay, as well as his bitter per-
sonal and political enemy-the Ostend fill
buster-the endorser, avowed advocate and
supporter of the Administration of Franklin
Pierce, and all of its most infamous meas
ures-the man who had lost his Individual
ty by declaring that he is no longer James
Buchanan-the candidate and mere instru-
inent of the extensionists of Slavery, and of
the opponents bf free speech, free men, free
labor, free territory, and Free Kansas; and
as such, we cannot and will not support him
for the Presidency Of this Union; and be-
heving that all true Wigs and sincere friends
of the 1amented CLAY win follow our ex-
ample, we do now declare our ulalterable
political hostility to James Buchanan, and
our fixed determination to compass his de-
feat by all honorable means, and thereby
prevent the extension of slavery into terri
tory dedicated to freedom by the compact Of
1920, as well as its extension to all territory
not now cursed by that Stupend0uS blight

beloved country. @ - n'is -

We like to watch the progress of the bat
tie between Freedom and Slavery in tn.

Piles, Free Labor and Free Men.

Herbert's Character a, Home,

The San Francisco Bulletin of June Goth
thus speaks of the murder Of Heating by
Herbert:
The atrocious deed was in perfect keeping
with the mans past history and present char.
acter. This Representative Of the Bowie
knife and Revolver fraternity, not satisfied
with violating all rules of gentlemanly de-
pertinent, adds a fodImurder to the disgrace
he has already heaped on this State. Among
the witnesses for the defense appears one
Major Graham-we are glad he does not ap-
pear under the honorable title of "Mr." and
swears that it was not the habit of the pris-
cner to carry deadly weapons. We think it
would have been better for the friend of the
murderer to have qualified his evidence a
little. 1t is well known that Herbert was
never known to be without arms while in
this State; that his antecedents are of the
worst kind that his friend, VIM. Gardiner,
with whose pistol, it is said, he committed
the murder, is equally as bad character, and
at one time the citizens Of Coloma gave him
the choice Of dangling at the end Of a hemp
cord, or leaving the town in fifteen minutes.
We'are free to say that if Herbert had been
here at this time, he would be hung as high
ae his bosom friends and companions, Casey
and Cora, aaa aT.s ~ y t.ts3 ~

Pennsylvania.

The following are extracts from a letter
written to the editor of the Nashville Pat
riot, it says g from one of the ablest, most
influential, and best posted politicians in
Pennsylvania" He says: .1
Mr.: Buchanan has not in my opinion, the
slightest chance of carrying Pennsylvania.
He is 'odious to the old Democrats on ac-
count of his bitter hostility to them and their
party up to the advent of jackson, when for
office, as usual, he went with the popular
current They still believe he cherishes his
original high-toned, federal, aristocratic
principles, that he has no political firmness,
consistency or integrity and they see new
proof of this in his ready adOp ion of the
entire Cincinnati platform, SO inconsistent
with his old recently expressed opinions.
But there are other causes from which [
infer the impossibility of his carrying Penn
sylvania. In 1852, the Democrats in Penn
sylvania elected sixteen out Of twenty-five
members of Congress, and gave Pierce a
majority of 10000. In 1854, they were
beaten 10000 for Congress and 81 900 for
Governor-electing but six out of twenty
five members of Congress. Such are the
fruits of the Nebraska bill, and it's execution
in Kansas has since operated worse than its
passage. What possible chance can they
NOW have

Mr.. Treadwell, of New York, yesterday
made an affidavit that he had reason to be-
lieve that challenge to fight duel had been
passed between Brooks and Burlingame, and
that they were making preparations to fight,
in violation of the peace of the District and
the act of Congress. He therefore prayed
that the parties be arrested and put under
bonds. Brooks was arrested this morning,
and held in $4,000 bail to keep the peace.
The Police are in search of Mr.. Burling-
hame who left the district late last night, or
early this morning, with the supposed inten-
tion of receiving a challenge. Up to noon
to-day his friends could not tell whether or
not there had been meeting, though ru-
NOR to. that effect is in circulation.
The Senate adopted resolution of inqui-
ry as to the extent to which iron may be SUBJ
