adherence the outrages recently perpetrated at
Washington. in Kansas and elsewhere in this coun-
try, under the inspiration OF the Slave Power, Is
very generally understood. There is not Euro
mean capital in which the cOwardly rutiIanSm OF
Brooks's assault on Sumner has not been set forth
again and again, to the sorrow and shame OF the
Liberals, being cited by monarchlsts as proof ct
the brutslizing tendencies OF democracy. 1he
facts are unhappy unquestionable; but the moral
is -ingularly distorted. 1t is not democracy IN
any lust sense of that term-it is the spirit
OF aristocracy that prompted these ruffian
yillanies, and screened their authors from de-
served punishment. 1t is the spirit OF Privilege oil
Cause.-The spirit that seeks personal exataton and
ogorandizemeut through the degradation and plum
der of the weak and despised-that has instlgated
all these crimes, which the civilized world regards
with such just abhorreuce. All men are naturally
ON the eide Of Humanity and Justice; 1t is only
when they have, or suppose they have, an adverse
personal interest that they take the diabollc side
If the crimes perpetrsted in Slayery's benalf In
Kansas had been committed by Turks IN Armenia,
or BY Austrans in Lombsrdy, our shareholders
would have execrated them as heartily as we do.
The letter of Mr.. Gladstone to The London Tunes,
descriptiye of incidents which fell under the wri-
ter's personal observation in Kansas, IS hios' 'n-
struetiye. Mr. Gladstone is quiet young man,

and with no idea of penning bis impressions We
doubt whether he had even clear notion OF the
tronbles in Kansas, until, being in washington
anrno the debate in the House on sending an In
1esticatipg Committee TO Kansas, he decided to
take trip to the Debatsble Land and see for HIM

letter We herewith publish.
There are three or four forged extracts from
noted European journals now in the course Of
lively circulation through the Buchsneer journals,
expressing the writers anxiety for the success of
Fremont as likely 10 result in the disruption Of
our Union, the overthrow Of Republicanism, &c,
sc. We presume no one able to read his own
ballot can be duped by these impudent forgeries.
But there is no doubt tSst . vast majority of Eu-
rOpean thinkers, but especially OF European demo-

human nature to suppose that any disnterested OBJ
