On Saturday the 30th ult. both par
ties had meeting at Brooks Mill. in New
ns township. for the mutual discussion of
the political topics, which now agitate the
public mind. And the old liners turned
out in their strength. and numbered in
their procession, sixteen Wagons and
twenty-five horsemen. al told. And
then came the frecmen in their strength,
thirty four Wagons and fifty two horse
men by actual count. Now what say the
old liners TO old Neyins in all her glory.
When the time came on for speaking,
the old liners being short of speakers,
faisted John G.. Davis, of"Plain unpre-

audience, to meet Judge Gookins, who
went there to represent the cause Of free

A Good pemocrat-as he was and is.

The State Sentinel of last Saturday contains
an abusive "review' of Col. Lanes speech at
Indianapolis last week. 1t commences by
stating that he spoke three hours without tell
ing a single truth! In the course of the
review" the following statement is made:
He once, in the tent of Gen. Joseph Lane,
in Mexico, had the hardihood to call that old
hero liar. The lion-hearted General merely
observed that enough had been said, picked up
pair of pistols, offered the gallant Colonel his
choice, and told him to take his distance. The
brave Colonel retreated precipitately out of the
tent, saving he 'could not be forced into a
fight with those weapons" His privilege was
to choose the weapons.
The Sentinel tells this as a fact, yet on Col.
Lanes return from Mexico, he was presented
by his fellow citizens with splendid sword!
The Sentinel charges him with being most
particular liar and a general scoundrel-yet
Col. Lane is the sameman who only two years
ago stood at the very head of Democracy in
this State as an acknowledged leader, and fill
ing the second office of honor in Indiana
and placed there by the Democratic party! In
the short space of two years or of one year, fol
he was an acknowledged good Democrat 1es'
than year, has Lanes whole nature became
suddenly changed? He says he is Democrat
nom, and maintains the same principles he die
in common with the Democratic party in 1852
p. The Sentinel knows it is not him but the
Democratic party which has charged. Blu
read its opinions of Col. Lane now, and reflec
upon the position Lane occupied in the Demo
cratic party year or two ago. Comment il
unnecessary. There is rascality somewhere
but it belongs not to Col. Lane.

LATE FROM KANSAS!
A Big Fight Expected


A new correspondent, but an old friend,
thus writes us from Topeka, K. T. While
writing, he was almost every moment expect
ing an attack upon Lawrence. A telegraph
dispatch to this Office, published in yesterdays
paper, stated this attack had been made:
TOPEKA, May 16, 1856
Mr.. SANDERs:-The excitement is so great
can hardly compose myself to write to you.
The Border Ruffians have again invaded our
State-this time with no pretext but to de-
stroy Lawrence, and prevent the Investigating
Committee from making their report You
cannot imagine the amount of testimony they
have accumulated, and the extent of the frauds
committed by the Ruffians They have taken
Gov. Reeder at Lexington, Mo-, by mob. and
ex-Gov. Reeder had to flee the State. The
COMMITTEE are menaced, and the U. S. troops
will have hard time to protect them.
| Pierce has taken the command of the troops
from Col. Sumner and given it to Shannon
The citizens of Lawrence sent committee to
Shannon begging him to protect them from
|
not do At. The messenger was shot at. Col
Sumner will do all that man can do for us,
and if it comes to civil war. he will disobey
orders and protect us. The soldiers are all
with US. dozen committees have been sent
to Shannon but he refuses to hear anything
Finally, he sent word that he would endeavor
to dispense the mob if the citizens would first
permit them to come into Lawrence, deliver
all their arms to them-guns, pistols and
knives, and permit them to make what arrests
they want to. This, ofcourse, would be pla-
cling their lives in the hands of mob who
have sworn to murder them all. They tel
the Marshal that he can come in and arrest
every man in Lawrence, if he will do it legal
ly, and protect them. About twelve hundred
of the Rufians are encamped around Law
renee, and they are coming in by hundreds
They are all armed Nth U. S. RIFLES AMI
l MUSKETS!
This will surely make Kansas a free State
but many of US will have to sacrifice our live
on the altar of freedom. 1t will probabl,
plunge the United States in civil war also.
The editor of the Kansas was arrested a
> Kansas City, and will probably be hung.
The drum and fife are making such nois
that can hardly write.
The people of Lawrence are doing every
thing in the world TO keep the peace, and ma
I succeed. The troops may interfere. Sumne
i will do it if he has the least chance. Th
: Committee are doing all for us that they ca
do, but their lives are in danger. We hav
about three hundred men at Topeka, and wi
t march us soon as we hear that the fight ha
: commenced. If we get at it GU will hear
S some awful fighting, for our men will fight lik

is determined to win or die on the battle felC

us in late papers. If we thanked him for
each such favor, we should have to devote a
considerable portion of our paper to him alone!

Clubbing sumner-south Carolina Chivalry.


The Congressional proceedings which we
publish to-day. will be found interesting, as
containing discussions on the subject of the
outrage upon Senator Sumner. Among all
Congressional outrages viler one was never
perpetated than this, nor more dastardly,
cowardly action. Is Brooks representative
of the distinguished bravery and chivalry Of
South Carolina? Does South Carolina bravery
and chivalry find its proper representation in
an attack with club upon an old man utterly
unsuspicious of danger, and attempting to
beat out his brains? Sumner may have used
language in debate, and he doubtless did, not
entirely courteous, and probably unwarrantably
severe, but is there not ability and moral cour-
age enough in the Senate, to meet Sumner
tongue against tonnge, instead of obtaining the
services of bully in the House to use more
brutal means of extinguishing the light Of
Summers brains? If ithas come to this, that
Senators are to be knocked down with clubs,
for speaking their honest opinions, let us send
Senators to Washington who can handle clubs
TO defend their lives. As there is Senator to
elect in Indiana next session efthe Legislature
had we not better send to Washington some
distinguished 'bruiser," who can handsomely
represent his State in any genteel muss which
may occur, or be able at all events to defend
his life should he have occasion to express
honest opinions in opposition to the feelings o
South Carolina chivalry? Our present Sena
tor is big, hearty double-fsted man, and we
nave no doubt he might in the Senate call every
man in South Carolina knave, and Butler
and Brooks the proper representatives of 1
kna7ish constituency, with entire safety. W.
want another of the same physical kind, be
cause if Brooks be not expelled from the
House honest men may be obliged to use stront
. Language, and language excessively diSagreablt
to South Carolina chivalry.
