Mr.. Saml. ]. Finch retires, and is succee-
ded by Harrison B. Branch, who stands
identified with the Benton Party. OF the
immediate topics Of the day, Mr.. Branch,
in his salutatOry says
On the subject of Slavery we intend to
have as little TO say as possible. We re-
gard it as an unfit subject for political dis
oussion. We make no profession OF sound
ness ON the question. We leave such pro-
fession TO be made by politicians of northern
birth, and by gentlemen of doubtful political
pirtue.
On the Kansas Nebraska Bill our posi-
ton is in accordance with the Democratic
Platform adopted by the democracy, at our
late State Convention, 10 acquiesce in the
principles of the bill, and to oppose the res
toration of The Missouri Compromise.
We shall support the Democratic State
Ticket that stands al the head Of our COL
umns, because the men of whom 1t is COM
posed are democrats, loyal to the Union,
true to the interests Of Missouri, and are
national and conservative. We have seen
nothing in the Black Republican party that
shows il to be a national party, and as we
can support no party that is not national, we
have no hesitation in saying that we shall
oppose it. We feel every disposition TO
support the nominee of the Cincinnati Con-
veniicn, and shall do so if the man, and the
platform suits MS,

Row in the Senate.

The United States Senate Chamber was
The theatre of very disreputable row, the
other day. Senator Sumner, of Massachu-
'etts, had made speech, in which he used
harsh language towards Senator Butler, Of
South Carolina, who was absent. Mr..
Brooks, representative from South Carolina
who is relative and friend of Senator But
Ter, soon after the Senate adjourned, enter
ed the Senate chamber, and severely beat
Mr.. Sumner, with cane. He felled him
at the first blow. Mr.. S. was seriously in
jured and has been confined 10 his room
since.
Mr.. S. may have merited chastisement,
but making the Halls Of Congress place
for such scenes ought TO meet with proper
rcbuke from all quarters,

A HUMAN LIFE SAVED!

DowAGIAc, Mich, March II, 1856.
j. A. RHODES, ESQ.,: Dear Sr-As | took
your medicine TO sell on consignment, ''no cure no
pay" take pleasure in stating its effects as re-
ported to me by three brothers who live in this
place and their testimony is fair specimen of all
have received:
w. S. CoNKLIN told me 81 had taken nine bot
ties of Christie's Ague Basam, and continually
run down while using it until my lungs and liver
were Congested to that degree that blood dis
charged from my mouth and bowels, go that all
thought 1t impossible for me to live through anoth-
er chill. The doctors too did all they could for
me, but thought must die. Nothing did me any
good until got Rhodes Fever and Ague Cure
which at once relieved Of the distress and nausea
at my stomach and pain in my head and bowels,
and produced permanent cure in short time.'
II. M. CoNKLIN says: 81 had been taking med
icine Of as good doctor as we have in our coun-
ty, and taken any quantity Of quinine and specifics
without any good result, from 18th August to 18th
December. But seeing how nicely it operated on
my crother, got hottie of RHODES FEVER
AND AGUE CURE, which effected cure by
using two thirds of bottle"
S. M. CoNKLIN was not here, but both the other
brothers say his case was the same as II. M's.
sold the medicine to both the same day, and the
cure was as speedy from the same small quantity
and might so specify. Yours with respect,
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself. Good proof as it is,
IL IL VI vast huIHDtT
certificates have already published, and the still
greater amount that is continually pouring in to
me.
One thirg more. Last year had occasion to
Caution the Public in these words:-
"Inotice one firm tcho hare taken one Of my gen.
eral circulars, substituted the name Of their nosruul
for my MEDICINE, and then Nth brasen in,pudence,
end their pdutphlet NTH the exclamation, 'Let The
proprietor Of any other medicine say much If he
ddreS,'" Sc.
Now take pleasure in saying that the Caution
referred TO the ''same DR.. Christe's Ague Balsan',
that is mentioned in the above certificate.
There ore several other industrious people who
are applying to their poisonous trash ali that
publish about my Fever and Ague Cure, or Anti
dote to Malaria, except the certificates of cures,
and the certificate of the celebrated Chemist, DIR.
James r. Chiffon, of N. ", in favor of It's per-
fectly HARMLESS CHARACTER, which is at
tached to every bottle These will always serve
to distinguish my medicine from limitations.

The Assault ON Mr.. sumner.

The New York Herald, which is certainly
not prejudiccd in favor Of Mr.. Sumner, gives
the following account of the brutal attack
on that gentleman. The man that can read
it without feeling his blood boil with indig.
nation, is fit only to be slave and lick.
spittle to aristocrats.
y The reader will remember that Mr.. Sum-
ner's speech occupied part of two days,
and it seems that the villain Brooks intended
to assault him on the FIRST day
Mr.. Brooks waited at the Porter's Lodge
about an hour yesterday, and as long this
morning, hoping to meet Mr.. Sumner, with
view to attack him. Failing in this, he en-
tered the Senate chamber to-day, just as
that body adjourned, and seeing several Ia
dies present, seated himself on the opposite
side to Mr.. Sumner. Soon all disappeared
but one. He then requested a friend to get
her out, when he immediatcr approached Mr..
Sumner, and said in quiet tone Of voice:
''Mr. Sumner, have read your speech
with great care, and with us much impair
TALLY as am capable Of, and l feel it my
duty to say to you that you have published
libel on my State, and uttered SANDER upon
u relative, who is aged and absent, and am
come to punish YOU"
At the concluding words Mr.. Sumner at
tempted to spring to his feet, showing fight,
but whilst in the act was struck BY Brooks a
backhanded blow across the head with gut
tn percha cane near an inch thick, but hol-
low, and he continued striking him right and
left until the stick was broken into frag-
ments, and Mr.. Sumner was PROSTATE aud
bleeding on the floor. No one took hold of
Col. b. during the time, so quick was the
operation; but Immediately afterwards Mr..
Crittenden caught him around the body and
arms.
Mr.. keitt. of S. c., did not interfere, only
to keep persons OF.
Senator Toombs said it was the proper
place TO have chnstised Mr.. Sumner.
When the attack was made there were Is
or % persons present, including Messrs.
Crittenden, Foster, Toombs, Fitzpatrick,
Murray, Morgan, and other members of Con-
gress, together with Governor German, and
several officers of the Senate, and some
strangers.
The greatest excitement prevailed. Mr..
Summer sank perfectly unconscious to the
floor, where he lay, bloody and dreadfully
bruised, till raised by his friends. Mr.. Sum-
ner's physicians say his wounds are the most
severe flesh wounds that they ever saw on
mans head, and deny his friends admission
to him.

LAwRERCE DESTROYED /
.INHABrrAyrs nUrCHEREp,

| The Kansas correspondent Of the st. Louil
Democrat confirms the report Of the captur,
Of Lawrence, and his statements leave little
doubt Of its utter destruction, as the worl
wns still progressing when he left for Leav-
enworth, whence his letter is dated.
The Deputy Marshal, heading force Of
hundreds Of Missourians, Georgians, and n
Carolinians, entered tho town on Wednesday
No resistance was made. The Marshal exc
ecuted his writs, taking two prisoners, and
retired. Sheriff Jones then, with his whole
border rut6an force, demanded the arms of the
people which were delivered up. His party
then proceeded to destroying the two printing
presses, and throwing them into the River.
They then cannonaded the hotel and fred
their guns at the windows Of the houses.
The correspondent says in conclusion 81
being mounted, succeeded in getting away
after long chase. | left the vicinity about
8p. m. When was Is miles distant,
could see this flames Of what appeared to be
a large fire in the direction Of Lawrence, and
have no doubt but that the town is in ashes,
and many Of its inhabitants butchered."
An Extra from the Lexington Express con-
tains similar account, which is confirmed
by the editor Of the Kansas Herald, who
writes to the Democrat
Lawrence was destroyed on Wednesday
evening. The artillery opened on the Free
State Hotel. The men then charged upon
the town, set fire to the hotels, destroyed the
printing presses, and set FIRE to the Offices
which were in the midst of the buildings.-
But 200 men were in Lawrence. Jones head
ed our command. When the messenger left
Lawrence the artillery was firing, and the FIRE
spreading. But few lives lost.
From passenger on the Morning Star,
Mr.. Doris of Weston, we learn it was the
intention OF Jones to proceed from Lawrence
to Topeka, which would also be destroyed.
As far as we can learn, the Abolitionsts
failed in their courage, and made Nbut little
resistance.

We proposed to build $50 feet .on Main,

ground would cost $40, 900 and the Hotel 1T
least $4,000 more, which is rather for
midable undertaking, and it is we'll known
that as an investment it will not pay to The

The So Ttmes', On Kamsas and
summer.

The reckless Misrepresentation and bitter
viturpcration INDUCED by the Times towards
the Free State men Of Kansas, had become
too common to excite attention. But the
fierce and unfeeling exultation exhibited
over the announcement from the West. of the
arrest OF the leaders OF the Free State party,
the taking of Lawrence, with the massacre
OF some Of its citizens, and the destruction
Of the principal buildings by fire, and the
general rour and dispersion Of the Free State
men; and the simultaneou. despatch from
the East, OF the brutal assault upon Senator
Sumner, excitcs the disgust and horror even
OF its party friends.
We know Of no parallel to the infamous
course Of the Times, save the savage exul.
tation of Tory sheets in ante Rev lutiorary
days, when distinguished patriot was
struck down by hired bulles, or the free citi-
zens OF Massachusetts colony were massa-
cred ~ British soldiers on Boston Common.
The articles Of the Times are modelled in
the spirit and tone of the Tory orators and
newspapers of that day. Those papers de-
rived their cue and sustenance from the
" constituted Authorities" SO does the
Times.
The ASS knoweth his masters crib.n
and the Editors Of the Times not less wise
than the donkey know whence to seek their
jodder. We leave the Times to the uniyer-
sal. condemnation of humane and honorable
men of all parties.

writes us from Charleston that the ladies
having prosecuted-a whiskey shop in that
place last week, the liquor was adjudged for
feited, and thereupon the ladies, in mass
meeting, proceed to spill the whisky on the
grosnd, and afterwards partook Of sump-
tuons repast at the Eagle Hotel. Iii under
stood that no man can sell Nliquor in that
town contrary to law--thanksto the ladies.
