1t is singular circumstance, that when the mat
ter of the assault Of Mr.. Brooks upon Mr.. Sumner
was brought up in the United States House of Rep
resentatives, on Friday last, that although every
member of the present House from Massachusetts Is
understood to sympathize entirely with Mr.. Sumner
in politics. no one of them saw fit to come forward
and make himself prominent in the discussion. Mr..
Campbell, of Ohio principal opponent of Mr. Banks
for the Office Of Speaker Of the House of Representa-
tives was the chosen person to take lead upon the
occasion, and Massachusetts, left by her Free-so
delegation to allow party man from distant State
to take the place in the discussion which belonged to
the Representatives Of the Commonwealth. The i'm
mediate Representative of Mr.. Summers district in
Massachusetts, the most proper person Of all TO
raise his voice upon such an occasion--who was
bound by his personal as well as by his party rela-
tions with the assaulted Senator to forward and
speak for injured Massachusetts,, was as dumb as q
dead dog throughout the whole debate, and yet he
is one OF the chosen champions of Free-soilism.--
Let those who talk of doughfaces look to this We
find his vote, 80 that We know that be present,
but we do not hear of his voice. What would the
Free-soilers say Of Wing Representative from Bos-
ton, if he was caught in such attitude under such
circumstances? a .sts ~ s@aR

then in the slave States three millions one hun
dred and nnety-fve thousand nine hundred and
fifty lone slaves Taking six hundred dollars as
the average and allowing for the material increase
since 1860, the total value Of slaves in the United

six per ceLt., will amount to one hundred and
