Let US point the attention of the people to
the four causes which expose free State mem.
bers of Congress to insult and violence in the
discharge of their duties.
!. They are not trained to the use of arms.
but educated to rely upon law and an en-
lightened public opinion for protection.
:. Free State members are divided into
two classes-one, subscryient to the Slave
Power, the other antagonistic to it. This
division weakens them, ana even in this
Congress, the Shareholders, comb ned with
their Northern and Western auxiliaries, out
number the Anti-Slayery members hence
they have the audacity inspired by Il con-
seriousness of numerical superiority.
8. Congress meets and members reside in a
slaycholdlng District, where the weight of
public opinion is on the side of the Slave
Power. This gives to the Shareholders and
their auxiliaries the advantage of position.
4. Above all, the whole Executive Power
of the Government is in the hands of the
Slave Power. 1t commands the Army and
Navy, has the custody of the Treasury, rules
supreme through all the Departments-the
President, all the Secretaries, all the Heads
OF Bureaus, are but the creatures of its will.
lhls possession of absolute power naturally
inspires an arrogant, oyerbearing, ~insolent
spirit, and every member from u free State,
who makes up his mind to defy it, must take
his life in his hands.
We have pointed to the causes of this state
things. 70 name them, is to suggest
their remedies, If the People of the free
would not become, in all points, a
subject, degraded race, they must apply them
speedily-otherwIse, the Onion will become
the cause and the badge Of their degradation
and cnslayement.

"Popular soyereigntYn in Kansas.

We trust that the honest believers in the
Popular Sovereignty of the Kansas-NeLraska
Bill, if any such are left, are giving some at
tention to the recent developments of the
doctrine, as practically illustrated on the soil
of Kansas. We hope the scenes enacted and
enacting there sometimes rise clearly before
them-the march of that band of offscourings
OF Missouri and the slave states, headed by
United States authorities, undcr the .fdg Of
South Carolina, into "a law-abiding, unof-
Tending town the drawing up of cannon in
the streets the battering down and burning
of the largest and most valuable buildings /;
the flight Of terror stricken families of women
and children to the wilderness around the
scattering of the buccaneers to ravagc and
plumber the ndiscriminate breaking open
OF dwellings the destruction and pillage of
private property to the amount of many tens
of thousands the murders and maraudings
going on throughout the territory the
burnings Of farm-houscs and barns the
seizure and slaughter of cattle at the plough ;
the stoppage and stripping Of peaceful trav-
ellers on the highway the rude insults of
fered to women the shooting down of valua-
BILE citizens the driving from the territory
of worthy settlers. 1t is a horrible, a dis
graceful, a notifying picture, to every
American worthy Of the name. 1t is thus
the people of Kansas are left " perfectly free
to choose their own Institutions" And for
all this the sham Democracy of the day are
responsible. Their administration equips
and heads the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. organs ap-
plaud the deeds done-their representative
in Congress. if the question were directly
put to-day, would sustain the crime and re-
ward its perpetrators. 1t has been said with
truth that there is not q dcspotism on the
globe which could commit such enormities
and stand. Surely our people are not de-
generate enough to tolerate in power these
shameless violaters of every principle of
true democracy, humanity and right, a day
after they can reach them.

Executive Committee and that they are to act
with his concurrence; and it tells too, that
if any of the : ominees decline, the said En-
ecutiUe Committee arc to fill the vacancy, with
one significant pror,so viz, that if Mr.. Fetch
er declines, JAMES NJ. SLADE is to be the
nominee for Governor We think the milk
in that cocoa nut can be reached pretty
easily.
In due time the Republican State Conven.
ton for the nomination Of State officers will be
c~alled-called in the open and explicit way
which the people of this State are accus-
toned to. Those who heartily unite on the
basis of action set forth by the Republicans
OF the nation, will of course be there in per-
son or by some to represent them, and they
will nominate their State ticket IN the usual
manner. They will do it with direct re-
ference to the principles they profess. Thus
far no narrowness of spirit or action has been
shown by the men imbued with the republi-
can sentiment. Their conduct in all official
nominations has been as frank and generous as
their cause is elevated and noble. 1t will take
an provocation, we think to turn
them aside from their proper course. Selfish
individuals of course, there are, whose perso-
nal wishes cannot be accomplished in that
way. In this case, it seems that n few have
determined that James NJ. Slade shall be run
for Governor of the State this year, as he was
last, by some calling themselves Americans,
come what will of it and Of that few James
NJ. Slade is one.
We spoke of the nominal on made last
week as the work of a "mole-l like clique
g a trick" intended to prevent the natural
and proper action of the people Of the State
in making their State nominations. OF
course we could not be understood as re-
ferring to the mass of those who have been
or are called Americans in this State. We
believe they have as little respect for such
doings as we have.
We see no reason to alter our words. A
mole works under ground, and, if not wholly
blind, is so short sighted as to be very near
it. But if moles cannot see they can be
seen. The few who are the workers out of
this scheme will find that realized in their
own case.

The positions Of Secretary Marcy in his
long despatch to Mr.. Dallas, Just published
are;-The possessions Of GreatBritain in Cen
trail America at the date of the Clayton and
Bulwer treaty could only have been the Mos
quito Coast, the Belize, or the Bay Islands
LIST. Great Britain only claims the right of
protecting the Mosquito Indians,-considers
herself bound thereto in honor but there is
nothing in that requiring arbitration. ID
As to the Belize, it is conceded that Great
Britain can continue to exercise there all the
rights which she derived from Spain, and as
Belize never was part of Honduras except in
name, no difficulty should arise from that -
Sd. In regard to the Bay Islands there is in
appearance more ground of controversy
The rightful sources of British title thereto
are said to lie in acts of civil and military au-
thorlty, and Of actual possession. Against
the former arise the counter claims of the
State OF Honduras, no REIMBURSEMENT of
which is alleged and the occupation of Ru-
atan by British subjects, admitted to be
spontaneous and unauthorized, cannot be in
sisted on as a foundation claim of sovereign
ty. The U. S. Government thinks the Bay
Islands belong to Honduras, and the occupa-
ton OF them by G.B. is contrary to the tenor
of the treaty. Here the two Governments are
at issue. The President would deem it his
duty 10 propose an amendment of the treaty,
so as to release the L. 5. from obligations
without benefits, which they did not inten-
tlonally incur, rather than submit to arbitra-
ton the pretension that Great Britain, from
her protectorate over the Mosquito Indians,
can take and hold San Juan, or any other
point in Central America. Some questions
of fact relating to disputed points Of political
geography ,m'ght however properly be settled
by some one or more Of the eminent men Of
science of Europe and America, appointed
for that purpose, and if these questions can
not be settled by direct negotiation. the con-
ditions OF arbitration thereon may be discuss
ed. The despatch ends as follows -
You are instructed, therefore, to enter into com.
munication with her Majesty's principal Secretary
of Foreign Affairs in relation to Central America, in
order to ascertain in the first place whether the ex.
listing differences cannot be p omptly terminated by
direct negotiation. and, if they cannot, then to dis
cuss the conditions Of arbitration upon those points
Of difference as to which alone this method Of set
Element seems requisite or applicable; it being as
sumed that other points OF difference would, after
that, yield, as a matter of course, to conference be.

THE SENATE REroRr.-Thc select Committee
appointed to investigate the facts connected
with the assault on Mr.. sumner made report,
." That by the testimony taken BY them it
appears that Hon Preston ). Brooks, a mem
Der of the House of Representatives from
South Carolina, did, on the 22i day of the
present month, after the adjournment Of the
Senate, and while Mr.. sumner was seated at
ms desk IN the Senate Chamber, assault him
with considerable violence. striking him
numerous blows on and about the head
with a walking-stick, which cut his head and
disabled him for the time being, from attend
ing 10 his duties in the Senate.
The cause of the assault was certain Ian
guage used by Mr.. Sumner in debate on the
Monday and Tuesday preceding, which Mr..
Brooks considered libelous of the State of
South Carolina and slanderous OF has kiusman
Mr.. Butler, a senator from that State. who
was absent from the Senate and from the
city.
The Committee lorbcar to comment upon
the various circumstances which preceded
and attended this affair, whether of agra
Vation or extenuatiun, for reason which will
he sufficiently obvious in the latter part of
the report
lhree or iour paragraphs are occupied
with mentioning cases which justify them
IN considering this assault a breach of the
privileges of the Senate,-and after showing
that according to parliamentary practice the
Senate cannot arrest a member of the House
Tor a breach of privilege against the Senate,
they conclude that all they need do is to send
II copy OF their report to the House with the
aihdavits which they lad taken, \ resolu-
ton to that effect was adopted, Mr.. Tombs
dissenting, and that was all Considering
how the committee was made up, we did not
expect any thing decent from it but we did
not suppose it possible that they could get
out such a tame and contemplate document.
The whole tenor o. it is such as virtually to
invite the House to do nothing on the case.

Mr.. EDlToR.-The adjourned Indignation
meeting at this place last night was largely
attended. Spirited and stirring speeches
were made, denouncing in the scycrest terms
the recent cowardly attempt to suppress
freedom Of speech by the assault on Senator
sumner. All expressed a sincere sympathy
for the outrage and peril he has suffered,
and felt to rcsent it as an ~indignity to the
whole North.
The present threatening aspect Of the slave
ry question in Kansas was also fully discuss
ed, and the meeting by unanimous and
emphatic expression Of sentiments, reproblt-
ed the common wrong. The speakers en-
forced the necessity Of immediate and
determined action, and in compliance with u
motion to that end, II Committee Of three Of
our citizens was appointed to draft and re-
port to an adjourned meeting June 9th, 4
Constitution for an Auxiliary Emigrant Aid
Society. a willingness was expressed to do
something by way Of c~quipping and sending
permanent settlers to Kansas.
Now Mr.. Editor, cannot the citizens Of
this County be prevailed upon to aid this
enterprise, and do something to ina ugurate
freedom now, alas, stricken down upon all
those plains. The popu lation of Chlttenden
County is about IS 900. Will it not furnish
the material aid to at least twenty eight men,
who are willing to go, and do battle, if need
be, for the Right.

IuE OVEN, Messrs Blodgett and Sweet
have recently secured a patent in Canada for
their improved galvanized iron oven. They
have also added a boiler on the side, the
water in which is heated by pipes passing
into the stove, which does its work in n very
satisfactory manner Thus equipped, the
oven is really almost all that is wanted in
a summer cooking apparatus, and we do not
wonder at its wide popularity.
