From WasI,ington.

Again we have the stereOtyped announce
ment from Washington, that the dismissal
of Mr.. Champion, together with the Brit
ish eonsuls, is close at hand 1t is expected
that the British Government will exercise
retaliatory power and send Mr.. Dallas
home The President will take occasion to
inform that Government that he finds great
satisfaction in its friendly assurances, and
desires tD recproce the same alleging more
over, that the objections to Mr.. Champion
are too serious to be overcome. This is
right; we must cultivate a spirit of amity
and courtesy with foreign nations, if we are
to endure the terrors of civil war, and a
struggle against intestine enemies
Mr.. Sumner is prostrated with fever, and
the prospects of speedy recovery are not
favorable. The Committee appointed by
the House to inquire into the outrage upon
Mr.. S., has visited him, and taken his tes-
timony. The testimony of Gov German an
eye witness of the affair, has also been ta-
ken, and the evidence of both corroborates
the public reports. 5. has been visited by
every member of the Diplomatic corps;
bat, in political circles, with one honorable
exception, not man has rendered him at
tention, outside the ranks of the friends of
Freedom. The Washington correspondent
of the n Y. Tribune telegraphs to that
paper, that the acerbity of feeling at the
National Capitol, is keen and excessive, and
that the idea Of violence reigns supreme!
The late outrageous assault upon North
ern Senator in the Senate Chamber, has
kindled in the breasts of Northern woman
a spirit of retaliation and revenge. The
wives of Northern members of Congress,
are writing them from home, advising them
to arm themselves and to boldly resist the
invasion of their rights and privileges.
The telegraph brings details of another
exciting passage in the Senate. Mr. Butler
Ter, speaks of the South Carolina rufian,
Brooks, as his gallant relativel Senator
Wade, answered him in noble style, and in
vites southern miscreauts to attack him?-
He says, "although YOU arc four to one,
an here to meet you" They dare not at
tack im,they know he is prepared for them
Mr.. Wilson, characterizes the attack OF
Sumner, as brutal, murderous and eowardly
thereupon, Mr.. Butler-the c6aUalric SouI
Carolina Senator, who is always so corte-
Gus in debate, and never forgets to deal in
refined erpressioR-calLs wilson lar
and is called to order. Mr.. Wilson rejoins
by saying, that Summer will soon be in his
place, ready to mingle in debate, "and an
swer ali assumptions of superiority"
Hon. Joshua r. Giddingi, was in New
York City, Monday. He had paired of,
and gone home to recover his health; but
the tidings of the attack on S. reached
him, and he started Immediately for Wash
ington, unwilling to be absent from the seat

Bishop Meade. of the Episcopal Cbnrcb

Bishop Meade, Of the Episcopal Church
Of Virginia was recently required to confirm,
eight or ten slaves at Lawreneeville, in the
tobacco growing, ultra slayeholding county
OF Brunswick. In performing this official
duty, the Bishop addressed the disciples
briefly, expressing his happiness in being
called upon to minister in Divine things 10
''the poor of this world, rich in faith but
uttered no word, so far as we can discover.
that any one ventures specifically to object
to. But the mere fact that he treated these
slaves as fellow-immortaIs seems to have
alarmed and offended the SHAREHOLDERS Of
Brunswick, one of whom-youehed for by
the Soatthside Democrat as aone of the most
intelligent and worthy gentlemen in the
county-thus pours forth his Indignation:
"What viii success in the Kansas move
ment avail US if we permit persons high
in authority to use expressions to our ne
groes calculated to make them believe that
they are better than their masters, and
thereby render them dissatisfied with their
situation! If Bishop Meade cannot act in
manner becoming citizen of Virginia, in
the present aspect of affairs, and aereY feels
himseLf more highly honored than l0heR al
toCed to confirm Stare, be ought to move
to that part Of our country where it is con-
sidered by some more honorable and praise
worthy to rob slaye-owner of his property
than to confirm negro. He may be able
to accomplish some good by his Slavery ex-
hortations there. His course has certainly
deprived him of the ability to do good in
any way here. Not only do the people,
generally, here disapprove and condemn his
course, but the members Of his church are
dissatisfied, and it is a source of regret that
several did not leave the church. A move
ment on the part of any person was only
necessary, understand, to have only emp
ty benches to lecture to.
@If the Bishop is not with
us IN sentiment, but against us, ought We
not to be more particular hereafter in know
ing something of him who IS to preach for
us and oar slqpes2 However much minis
ters, educated as have before stated, nav
be disposed to act properly with regard to
our slaves, they have not the ability, if l
may 50 express myself, to do right if they
mix up too much with them. The best
way, decidedly, is to have nothing to do
with the negroes When they feel called
to minister to tie spiritual grants of negroes
so particularly, the Free States IS the best
field Of labor, as the eolored population are
in much worse condition there than here"

A supposed mistake having occurred in
a speech of Gen GasS rel=tiye TO Judge
McLeans views upon the powers over sla-
very in the Territories the Judge addressed
Mr.. C. the following note, which gives Judge
McLcan's views in nutshell.
Washington, May I3 1856.
Ny Dear SRA friend stased tonne yes
terday that he understood yoF 10 say that
l lid not consider that Congress hai pow
er, under the Constitution, TO prohibit slay-
cry in a Terrisory. / never doubted that
Congress had this power, and coald never
have expressed any doubt on the subject.
You may rccoIIeet shat I have in conyer-
sations with you often said that Congress,
having tie power TO establish a territorial
government, might in the exercise of a police
power, prohibit slavery, although they had
no constitutional power to institute it.
I informed my friend that was sure he
misaprehended you. I drop this note that
in the publication of your speech You may
correct any mistake of tie ssenographer on
the subject.
Very truly, yours,

1t would be justice to this brutal man il
lie should be shot down in his tracks. Our
correspondent-who is gentleman of dis
tinguishcd worth, resident of this city
says, (the day after the beating of Summer (;
saw Colonel Brooks buckle revolver
round him, saying, with an oath, he would
kill the first man who laid hands on him"
The telegraph informs us that he has
sent a challenge, or message preparing the
way to challenge, to Col. Webb, of the

NTendacity Unparalleled.

The Douglas sheet down town is informed
that we do not care two straws what name
they call US by, "black republican, "know-
nothing" or any other, 50 long as the party
is irreyocably pledged for the freedom of
Kansas, and against the further extension
of slave territory in this Union. Yes, we
shall "shriek for freedom" to the last, and
as you are seeking and laboring to rivet the
shackles of slavery on millions yet unborn,
we will work as assiduously and Increasingly
to free them. tf
How convincing and satisfactory he
makes it appear that we are black republi-
cans. He says we 'repudiate Fillmore" /"
and "spit upon his platform" Why? For
the very reason that we repudiate Pierce,
Douglas q Co, because they are pledged
for the interests of the south, for the sup
port of slavery; and whose desire is to make
slavery national. We hope never to be
found advocating the monstrous doctrine
that it is right and christain-like to hold our
fellows in bondage.
We blush to think there is a man 50 base
as to give utterance to such sentiments as
characterize the last weeks leader of the
Doagzes Adgoeate. OH shame, where is
thy blush9 How can the conductor of
public journal in the free north, consent to
grovel so low? We would not sacrifice
the Union or the happiness of the Ameri-
can nation, over lot of black men, :" nei-
ther are we 4'using every means in our pow
er to place the blacks on social equality
with the whites" But, sir, sooner thansee
the slave power triumphant and slavery
become national, we would see the union
rent in fragments, and one by one the stars
upon that glorious flag go ont in eternal
darkness.

Buchanan a Rnovvnothing.

As the democracy are talking somewhat
of Hon. James Buchanan, as a candidate
for the presidency, it may be well to give an
extract from a speech made by him on the
the fourth of July, 1845,at Lancaster, Penn
sylvania. We have never heard or seen
anything that approaches nearer the know
nothing doctrine than do the sentiments
here expressed. 1t will be of no use for To-
cofocos to attempt to deny its authenticity.
Mr. B. said:
awe ought to use every honest exertion
to turn out of power those weak and wick
cd men who have abandoned the political
path marked out for this country by Wash
ington, and whose wild and visionary theo-
ries have been at lenth tested by experience
and found wanting. Above all, we ought
to drive from our shores foreign influence,
and cherish exclusively American feeling.
Foreign influence has been in every age
the curse of republics. Her jaundiced eyes
see all things in false colors. Thick atmos-
phere of prejudice, by which she Is forever
surrounded, excludes from her sight the
light of heaven. Whilst she worships the
nation for this very crime, she curses the
enemy of that nation for even their virtues
In every age she has marched before the
enemies of her country, proelaiming peace
when there was no peace; and lulling its
defenders into fatal security, while the iron
hand of despotism was aiming death blow
at their liberties. Already our infant re-
public has felt her withering influence
Already has she involved us in war, which
has nearly cost US our existence. Let us
then learn wisdom from experience, and for
ever Danish this fiend from our society"

E The statistical tables of mortality
show reduction in this country of the pro
portion Of deaths from pulmonary diseases.
DR.. Aver attributes this result to the effect
Of his Chery Poctoral. He also asserts that
the cures from his Cathartic Pills give rea-
son to believe, they viii, as they come into
more general use, materially reduce the
mortality from those particular diseases for
which they are designed. From what we
know Of his preparations, we think he has
grounds for his claims and if he has, it is an
attainment of which an Emperor might be
proud. Rarely is it permitted any one man
20 know that his skill is bestowing health
and life to the masses of his fellow men.

"Give me Liberty, or Give me Death 20
This was the bold, thrilling declaration
of PATRICK HENRY, when he declared for
Freedom and Independence This should
be the motto emblazoned on every banner
now, and as their ample folds shall be flung
out, let the first word to kiss the breeze, be
FREEDOM" Enstamp it there in
characters of fire.
1t was oppression and tyranny that called
forth these cloqunt, burning words that kin
died the old "thirteen colonies" into an un-
quenchable fame. England's King did not
prove greater tyrant, than is now the
Chief Magistrate of this Union, which boast
of being the only land of freedom.
The sum of all vilhanies is now being
/ if it has not already een-consummated.
Border rlIffians, with the assistance of Pres
ident Pierce, have murdered and driven out
from Kansas the Free State men. Blood! !!
aye, the Blood of FreemeR has been spill
ed! Atchison, Stringfellow and Jones be-
came as frantic as tiger robbed of her
whelps, when they saw that Kansas was
likely to become free The residents of
that territory who were striving for freedom,
have been driven out or shot down. The
city of Lawrence is laid in ashes. Kill burn
and destroy is the argument now made use
of by the mad advocates of slavery. When
or in what will this end? The blood of the
negro ArrUcKs, was the first poured out on
the revolutionary altar, and now the life of
white men is wantonly taken that code of
laws may be enacted which will forever en-
slave the kindred of the first martyr to
American Liberty.
In our paper to-day will be found the in
telligence from Kansas. The accounts are
horrible and seem almost incredible. We
can only give small portion of the des-
patches The people are looking with in
tense anxiety for the end of this matter.
The outrage, too, committed upon Sena-
tor Sumner, of Massachusetts, in the Sen
Chamber, is the most outrageous act ever
Eperpetrated in Washington. A Northern
Senator who had just concluded bold
speech for the freedom of Kansas, is assault
ed by member OF the House of Represen-
tativeS, Mr.. BRooKs, of South Carolina,
knocked down with a cane, beaten on the
head until he is insensible and then left for
dead. Has it come to this, that man
must pay the penalty with his life, if he say
aught against the institution of slavery p
Shall the slaye-drivers of the southern cot
ton fields be permitted to strike down
Northern Senators for uttering the senti-
ments of nineteen-twentieths of the voters
of this Republic? We fear and tremble! !!
When will the north awake! IF deliver
ance come not soon, we shall expect to hear
the accomplishment of the threat made by
Georgia's slave-holding Senator Toombs,-
"That he would yet call the roll of his slaves
at the foot of Bunker Hill"
Much of our space is taken up with the
Kansas intelligence and the outrage upon
Mr.. Summer. Let every man read them;
and let every voter remember that for the
effeetual remedy of these evils, the present
corrupt Pierce administration must be put
down. Let the arm Of the People reach
the traitor and hurl him from power.

DEMOCRACY WITHOUT DEMOCRATS
The word democracy has potent infiu-
ence on the minds of multitudes. They
believe it to signify those principles and
that party which seek the greatest good Of
the largest number. We do not wish now
to discuss whether the party which has
passed by this name, has been in any degree
worthy of it. One thing, however, is clear
the name as applied to the present admin
istratiOn party must be used IN a purely
technical sense, or it is most attrocious
lie. If we call the administration party
the democracy, we must emphatically deny
that its leaders and supporters are demo-
Gratis. Those who aid in the extension Of
human slavery cannot be democrats. Those
who sanction the carrying of elections by vi
olence and illegal voting can not be demo-
Gratis. Those who believe the murder OF
an Irish servant not worth investigating
cannot be democrats. those who would
strike down, with bloody hand, freedom Of
speech in the halls of congress, cannot be
democrats. IF ever any portion of the true
democratic spirit pervaded the party which
has called itself the Democracy, it has ut
terly departed. The men who now control
the so called democracy, are lovers of des-
potism and haters of liberty! Were it to-
day in their power, they would subdue the
whole free north, as they are attempting
to subdue Kansas by force of arms. They
would treat every lover of free speech as
they have treated Sumner; and every free
man who dare lift his hand to resent a
blow as they have treated Keating.
