BRoogs AND BuRLINGAME. Burlingame,
by his card in the Intelgencer, let Mr.. Brooks
understand that he would accept challenge
from him. We presume a note of some sort
from Mr.. Brooks followed At any rate, upon
the oath OF a third person, that he believed a
duel was on foot, Brooks was arrested and held
to bail in the sum Of $4,000 to keep the peace
Burlngame keeping himself out of the way of
the police.
We see by telegraph dispatch that Burling-
anne FASTENED to the Clifton House on the Cam
ada shore at Niagara Falls and notified Brooks
that he would he there on Saturday to settle the
difficulty. Most certainly it was not unreasona-
BILE for Mr.. B. to choose that point in order to
avoid breaking the criminal laws of the United
States. The distance, that seems to have been
objected to by Brooks, is a matter of no impor-
lance, for it is travelled in day at an expense
of not more than thirty dollars, and this would
certainly be nothing to one who would be thought
willing not only to forfeit his bail of $4,000 Tor
the sake of fighting but anxious to make fight
ing the chief end of his life.
Mr.. Brooks however objects, it seems, to trav-
cling through New Jersey and New York to get
to Canada. He thinks he would have 10 run
the gauntlet ofmobs and assassins. He soffaid.
Yes, the grim fre-eater, who boasts that with
one blow he could inaugurate revolutions and
destroy the Union, Is Gfra,d to travel thToagh
Nep Jersey and New York. We rather wonder
that he does not found his objection upon the
insecurity of the railroads, for We really think
there would be more chances of his losing his
life by railroad accident than by the hands of
assassins. He certainly backs out from fight.
He runs. And herein is an instructive moral
There are "books in the running Brooks"
This iire-eater or cx-fre-eater is evidently
conscious that he needs bolstering in his posi-
ton. publishing the correspondence between
himself and Burlingame, he parades letter from
Gen. 10. Lane, advising him not to pursue the
matter. Gen. Lane is good fellow who will
strain a point to give his friends good advice
As Brooks is prevented by distance and the fear
of assassination from going through New York
to see Mr.. Burlingame, is there any probability
that he will undertake to punish Mr.. B. as he did
Mr.. Sumners Not the slightest.--Lou. Journal

HERBERT AcoulrrEp.-It seems that the intiu-
enee of members of Congress and the power of
the Pierce administration have succeeded in pros
curing the acquittal of Herbert, who murdered
Heating the Irish waiter, in cold blood, and that
so soon as the trial was over the murderer went
off surrounded by friends to indulge in convi
vial rejoicing. Thus the embarrassing which.
this affair received in the first Instance at the
hands of members of the House of Representa-
tives, has had the desired effect, and the Califor.
MIA bully has been turned loose again upon the
community, to resume his amusement of making
widows and orphans. But this is not ALL The
precedent has been established that it is 40 harm
10 Kill scaiter specially he Be an IRISH ra;ter
and forthwith we find the Pierce organs through
out the country taking up the argument and
holding it as the law OF the land. For instance,
the Charleston Standard has the following:
''HERBERr AND SEATISG.n
ANY proyocation that may have been given
for the assault upon him by body of walters,
was at the most a provocaton of words, and
such a provocatioa as a Sersaas should not aaps

Judiciary Appointments by the pres

- a GOAGfaFy Appointment by the pres.
cnt Administrat ton,
1t is known that one of the charges on which
Charles lost his head, was the appointment of
bad men to the judiciary of England Now what
has Pierce done in Kansas -s' ~. feets}
" His Judges have already adjudicated that
tasern in which free State men are entertained
is Nuisance, and that free State men are NUS
ances, and that even bridge over which free
State men travel is nuisance, and that all these
nuisances may be abatcd on the presentment of
a packed Grand Jury, aoithout a trial, and by an
armed posse cooitatus, consisting of enlisted
pro-slayery bands, and we know that treason to
the United States, or giving aid and comfort to
their enemies las defined in the United States
Constitution, but an assembling peacetully as
citizens to petition Congress for redress of
grierdnces.' s" 80 z
Let any student turn over the history of Eng
land and France for thousand years, and they
will not find judges more infamous and yet in
view of these facts, the Pierce-Buchanan party
are urging the people of the free States to con-
tide literally the whole future of Kansas to the
Douglas-Toombs bill, which though the fire COM
missioners appointed by the President and
Senate, leaves Kansas at the mercy of such
man as Franklin Pierce! The Tories of Eng

We cut the following paragraphs from COM
munication in the last st. Louis Republican
signed San unchanged Whig," and commend
them TO the careful attention OF all Onion Saw
ers" every where, but more especially to the
old women in breaches, who are bleatant on the
subject of Nationality !"
Men talk fippantly about dissolving the Union,
as if il were no more than repeating bylaw Of
a corporation. 1t is becoming trade in poll
ties, to threaten to dissolve the Union, in order
to frighten people, and make them willing to
bride the threateners not to commit treason.
We have some of that sort of nation savers all
over the country, whose bold impudence and in
terested patriotism are becoming insufferabe.
Their claim for sdtpage is exorbitant They
fiercely threaten to pull down the Constitution,
if SO and SO is not done to their liking, but kind
ly give us to understand that they will yet save
the country upon one conditon-that if we will
only put the Government into their hands, and
let them manage things in their own way, they
viii be the best sort of patriots and Union men
a-going! Twill make no bargain with such men,
but treat them, rather, as the Scripture com.
mands us to treat the Evil One-"Resist the De.
vii and he will fee from you"
1t has become quite fashionable of late for the
BUCHANAN men to be particularly national, and
the peculiar friends Of tile Union. The cool
est piece of impudence that was ever palmed off
upon gnllable public Why, there is not ty-
ro in politics who does not know that Mr.. Bu-
chanan would stand no chance at all of election,
if you strike off from his support those States
whose most eminent and popular men despise
the term national, and have often declared that
they know the Union only by its expressions
and exactons; States, many of whose present
leaders are fresh and hot from Statical conven-
tons, called by authority, for the very purpose
Of dissolving the Union, and for no better rea-
son than that California was admitted, with
constitution made at her own free will, but con-
tanning clause forbidding slavery.
