The aggregate vote for the American Aldermen,
on Monday, was 1890; for the anti-American,
1850. American majority 80.
In the Seventh Ward Mr. Pearson, the Aneri-
can candidate for alderman, received $50 votes,
whilst Mr.. Hill received but 4s5 votea or 65 less
than Mr.. Pearson Now, since Mr.. Pearson is SO
rigid q member Of the American party that no
supporter of Magruder would vote for him, and as
the vote for the ntiAmerican candidate for alder
man, In the Seventh Ward, Is exactly the same as
that cast for Magruder In that ward, it is fair to
infer that 65 Americans, in the Seventh Ward,
refused to vote for Mr.. Hill, and thereby allowed
him TO be defeated.
It Is with extreme reluctance and regret that we
make this statement but we cannot avoid 1t, con-
sistently with the duty We owe the American par
ty. Il is indeed subject for the deepest NORTH
cation that sixty-fve members of the American
party should have actually gone to the polls on
Monday, and voted for the American candidate for
Alderman, while at the same time they refused to
vote for the American candidate for Mayor.

Respectable Papers.
The Louisville Journal says:

The Louisville Journal says:
We are glad that all the respectable papers Of
the South take exactly the view Of the Brooks
and Sumner affair that we have taken All of them
say that Sumner is entitled to no sympathy person
ally, but that Brooks has been guilty of great
outrage that ought to be punished"
II this be the case the number of respectable"
papers at the South is SO exceedingly small that
they can be hardly said to constitute class. Ger
tainly the Journal is the only paper published in
slave State that we have yet seen that has taken
decidedly proper stand in reference to Brooks.
The greater part of tie leading journals of the
South decidedly applaud Brooks for his bru atty.
NJ y. Times.
The Times is mistaken, or what is more prob
able, wilfully misrepresents the Southern press.
We have examined our Southern exchanges
carefully in reference to this matter, and assert
that, with here and there an exception, the
great mass OF the Wing and American journals
of the South condemn the assault on Mr. Sum
ner while at the same time they condemn the
tone of his speech. We have already publish
ed extracts on this subject-from the Baltimore
Patriot Savannah Republican, Wilmington
North Carolina) Herald, and other South
ern journals, Of this character We might
extend the list almost indefinitely, and include
the n 0. Picayune, N. O. Bulletin, Nashville
Gazette, Nashville Banner, Montgomery Mail,
Fayetteville Observer, Fayetteville Argus, and
many other influential journals, not to mention
numerous papers in Kentucky and Virginia.
The Republicans" ever ready to turn any
vent into political capital, deliberately resort
to wholesale falsi6cation of tho course of the
Southern press on this subject, for the base
purpose Of ageravating the unfriendly feeling
which already exists between the North and
South, growing out of the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise. These journals should re-
member that tho Nebraska bill would have
passed the Senate if not a single Southern Sem
ator had voted for it, and that it never would
have passed the House, had it not have been
for the powerful support it received from the
Northern members Of that body. They should
also remember that it was favorite measure
Of Northern President, elected mainly by
Northern votes. We do not hesitate to say
that no Southern President elected since 1920
would have had the presumption to recon-
mend disturbance Of the Missouri Compro-
mise, however decidedly he may have believed
that it was unconstitutional.

The Elections for Three Years.

Mr.. Towerss vote in 1854 was precisely 5000.
The average American vote on Register, Collector,
and Surveyor, in 1855, was 2,7s2. The American
vote for Mayor this year was 2,sl4, or within
SO Of the vote for Towers, the present Mayor in
1854.
We hear that many Of our friends this year de-
clined going to the polls, under the impression
that Hills election was certain, and that their
votes were not needed.
We have right, therefore, to assume that the
American party in Washington is as powerful now
as il was in the first year of its existence.

The Washington Election.

Under this head, the Washington Union of
this date has an article which, as is usual with
articles in that press, teens with representa-
tons, made for effect abroad. 1t speaks of
tho overthrow Of KNOWN othingism in the
Federal capital" AID falsely assumes that the
fusion factions have succeeded in this city. It
is true that Magruder has thirteen more votes
Gnstead of thirty-two as stated Yesterday on
the poll-list than Mr.. Hill, but it is as well
known as that the sun shines, that Mr.. Hill has
a majority Of legal votes, and that fraudsof the
most villanous character were perpetrated by
the fusionists. But grant that Magruder is
legally elected by thirteen votes--is this any
triumph to demagoguism, in view Of the adj
mittcd fact that the Americans have majorities
in both branches of the City Councils And
how stands the American party in Washing
ton now, compared with the election of city
officers in june 1852
Last year the highest American vote for city
officers was ash, and this year Mr.. Hill re-
ceived 2,9l4 votes, more than 100 over the
highest American vote Of 1856. In 1854 Mr..
Towers received 5000 votes, but at that time
many Wings voted for him, who now fused
with Forneyism and Romanism. Last year
the fusion vote was 2,466, and this year it was
2,927, difference Of 462 votes which number
the fusionists gained by double and triple
voting, and by the increase of the foreign pop
ulation. The American party not only holds
its own, but in fact is stronger than il was last
year, whilst by importations Of votes and by
frauds, the fusionists have gained from 400 to
500 votes. Yet the Union claims that Amer
icanism is overthrow" in Washington.
To the shame of at least one hundred "Amer-
icans' in this city, they remained at home, be-
licving that Mr.. Hill would be easily elected,
and not counting upon the increase in the for
eign eiementl There were enough absentees
IN the Fourth ward alone, to have elected Mr..
Hill by 10 or twenty votes.

CONDENSED EGo.-A process has been devised
by Messrs. Thurgar, of the Albion Mills, Norwich,
for drying eggs, so that they win keep good for
any length of time The yolk and white of the
egg are exposed to slow heat, and the moisture
is thus driven off. The whole is then reduced to
p powder and packed up in tins The material is
not necessarily kept air-tight, but may be freely
exposed to the air. The powder ia used in the
ordinary way as eggs are, being mixed with little
WAGER, and is thus an excellent substitute for milk
on long voyages, besides capable OF being used for
all cooking purposes in the same way as the fresh

ST.. LOUIS, June I've have the following
from Leavenworth city, under the date Of May 20.
It should be received with caution:
An extra Of the Westport News, headed War!
War!" reached this city this forenoon, and threw
the pro-slavery men here into great excitement.
They held private meeting and appointed
committee of vigilance to attack Leavenworth,
and let no free State men pass, and they are de-
termined to make arrests of all obnoxious par
ties. A company of men, armed with muskets
and bayonets, UNITED States arms, have been pa
rading all the afternoon, making arrests. They
took prisoner a clerk Of the committee of Con-
gress, named Conway, and two witnesses that had
been subpnuaed, Messrs. PARROT and Miles Moore.
Messrs. Moore and Parrot were arrested while
copversing with Mr.. Sherman. Mr.. Sherman asked
lift BY legal process they had taken of the
clerks of the commission. Mr.. Wilkes, ono of the
party, said II was not that he bad legal author
ity, but that he would arrest the mon down ON his
list. Many others have been taken. The town is
excited, and the commission fear they must leave.
Alarming extras are sent from Westport to the
border towns A fight is expected towards Potto-
watomie. The last difficulty arose at Pottowato-
mie creek. Some pro-slavery men tried to drive
free State man from his claim, but he refusing to
60, they took him and were about to hang him,
when some of his neighbors came to the rescue
and shot some Of the pro-slavery party. Leaven-
worth was surrounded by picket guards, and no
one suffered to enter or leave the town. 1t was
stated that the whole Territory would be placed
under military surveillance.
The Republican publishes an extra Of the Kan
sas Heral Of the 2Sth nltimo, which confirms the
renort previously telegraphed Of the murder Of
eight pro-slavery men on the Pottowatomie creek
by party Of free State men. The victims wero
most horribly mutlatcd. In some instances, after
their Threats had been cut, their legs and arms had
been chopped of, and their eyes gouged out. All
the pro-slavery families at Hickory Point were
driven off at the point of the bayonet and their
horses and provisions stolen by the free State
1t is estimated that the loss sustained by the
citizens of Lawrence by the recent attack, win
amount to 100000.
A letter to the Democrat, dated Topeka, 25th,
says: The United States district court has adj
journed till the second Monday in September.

morning the report Of the Senate committee to
whom was referred resolution of the Senate d.
rectng an inquiry into an assault made by me on
the 22d instant on Senator from Massachusetts,
1t ID with unfeigned regret find in their report
that what had intended only as redress for per-
sonal wrong has been construed into, or must me-
cessary be held as breach of the privilege Of the
Senate. Whilst making full and explicit dis
claimer of any such design or purpoee, / ask leave
to say, that, for the occasion, considering myself
only as gentleman in society, and under no off,
cial restraint as member Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, / did not advert to or consider there
was any alternative restraint imposed upon me by
reason that the offence came from a member Of
the Senate.
/ had read attentively and carefully speech
delivered on the 10th and goth ultimo, by SEN
ator of Massachusetts, and found therein language
which regarded as unjustly rejecting, not only
on the history and character of South Carolina,
but also upon friend and relative To such lam
guage thought had just right to take excep,
ton, under the circumstances; the Senator from
South Carolina who was affected by those remarks

/ had reason to believe that the Senator from
n Massachusetts, did not acknowledge that personal
responsibility for wrongs in personal department
which would have saved me the painful necessity
Of the collision which sought and in my judg-
ment therefore, had no alternative but to act as
did. That the assault was made in the Senate
Chamber was caused only by the fact that, after
careful search elsewhere, on the previous as well
"a the same day, the offender could not be found
outside Of the walls of the Senate Chamber, and
the Senate had adjourned for more than an hour
previous to the assault
