Senator Wilson, Reply 10 the AssnssFn
Brooks.


Senator Wilson's reply to the challenge of the
assassin Brooks, on Thursday was admirable, and
to the point. Brooks complains of the terms in
which Mr. Wilson alluded to his attack on Mr.
Sumner, demanding that he [wilsonl should
either retract the words " murderous, brutal, and
cowardly," used by him in characterizing that
assault, or indicate where he would receive hos.
tile message from Brooks.
Gen. Wilson replied, in language which should
be made to ring continually in the ears of every
slayeholding despot who imagines he can "sub-
due " the free utteranee of Northern sentiment
on the floor of Congress. He told that cowardly
misoreant NJ. c., that he used the language COM
planned of, because he at the time believed, and
now believes, it was strictly true, and demanded
by the character of the assault upon Mr.. Sumner
He also said he was no duelist; but that he ,oiR
use sohat language he thinks proper in debate,
and if assailed for doing so knows how to defend
himself.
These are Senator Wilson's words:
II characterized, on the floor of the Senate the
assault on my colleague as brutal, murderous and
cowardly. l thought so then; 1 think so now
and have no qualifications whatever to make with
regard to those words. I have always regarded
duelling as relic ofbarbarous civilization, which
the law of the country has branded as crime
While, therefore, religiously believe in the right
of seldefence, in the broadcast of the law of
my country the convictions of my whole life alike
forbid me to meet you for the purpose indicated
in your letter.
The telegraphic despatch, dated Washington,
May 30, which reports this correspondence, also
states in that connection-"There are now no
apprehensions Of an attack on Senator Wilson"
We opne those cowardly DULLES who disgrace
Congress, will soon get sick of exhibiting their
rutianly propensities. If Gen. Wilson had cho
sen to resort to the barbarous code of dueing, he
would not have disgraced himself by selecting
such wretched skunk as this Brooks, for an
antagonist.
The special dispatch to yesterdays Boston
Advertiser says:
The manly letter of Senator Wilson, refusing
to accept Brooks challenge or to retract his
Remuneration of the outrage,is universally approx
ed The letter was handed by Mr.. Burlington
OF Mass, to Gen. Lane of Oregon, Brookss sec
ond and bearer of his challenge.
The proposed amendment to the Personal
Liberty Law, was defeated in the Senate yester-
day, only four votes being in favor of it. This

A coon MOVE IN AN UNEXPECTED QuARTER--
Yesterday. in the House of Representatives, Mr..
charles Hale of Boston, on leave introduced the
t,llowing humane and truly patriotic resolve:
Resolped. That the the sum of $4,000 be al
I,wed and paid out of the treasury of the Com
mouwealth TO His Excellency the Governor, to
be by him applied, IN whole or in part, in such
manner not repugnant to the constitution and
laws as shall most effectually aid the people of
Eanzas who were represented in the convention
which assembled at Topeka in October, 1880, in
maintaining their rights men and citizens,
under the constitution of the United States; and
that the Governor, by and with the advice and
consent of the Council, have authority to appoint
such agents to disburse the said sum as may De
necessary; and the agents so appointed shah ae-
count only to him for the money by them expend-
ed,-and the Governor is hereby authorized to
draw his warrant accordingly.
Mr. Hale showed that there had been too
much resolving and too little doing. That this
resolvewas constitutional he knew; Caleb Cush-
ing, in lS47, introduced aresolve into this House
to appropriate $4,000 70 equip the Massachu
sets Mexican Volunteers; and in the State of
Georgia a resolve had been discussed, though
rejected, to appropriate $4,000 to the other side
of this question on Kanzas.
MIR. Stoddard of Worcester moved that the sum
of S25 600 be substituted for the amount named
in the resolve, and then the whole subject, in
Guiding the amendment, was referred to special
committee consisting of Messrs. Hall of Boston,
Fletcher of Lowell, Stoddard of Worcester, Briggs
of Pittsfeld, and Merrill of Fall River.
Subsequently, the committee reported that they
had amended the resolve by substituting $4,000
instead of $4,000 and that the resolution ought
to pass as amended. The House adopted their re.
port.passing it through the first and second read
ings BY a vote of 100 to 3d. They also assigned
today at eleveno'clock to take the question upon
the third reading, by Yeas and Nays.
We are rejoiced to see such indications that
Massachusetts, will be true to her ancient fame.

Mr.. Cass replied that this government had
not expressed itself satisfied with MI. Cramp-
toms conduct, but with the assurance OF the

ment) mad intended no violation of our laws /;

instructions of his own government.

choose to argue the question against our gov
eminent, but he wouldnow say he disapprov-

Marshal Donaldson, whose U. S, posse had
been gradually narrowing the circle around

about three o'clock yesterday morning. They
TOOK possession OF the town without the slight

Dletsler and Smith being among the number

search, and taking all the arms they could
md, went through mock process of disband-

on by Sheriff Jones, who has not been half so
seriously injured as was supposed. and the as
sassination story about whom has doubtless
been trick.
Four pieces Of artillery were Immediately
planted in front OF the great hotel, d-they
commenced to batter it down. Little progress
was made with the artillery, as the walls were
: thick. One corner was injured, but when
they saw that the work was too slow, key of
powder was placed in the cellar, and the at.
tempt made 10 blow it up. This was ONLY
partially successful, but the flames were soon
bursting from it in all directions. Both Of the

Several men are reported killed but the

Comparatively few men were in Lawrence

expose them to certain destruction, and that
