for the farmers in Worcester County, the very
best that has yet been provided, the present sea-
son, for securing the hay crop which is unusually
heavy The recent plentiful showers have had a
very beneficial effect upon vegetation, and Indian

ASSASSIN Brooks FOR BUoHANAN.-Thec cow.
ardly South Carolina bully, in his letter to Bu-
chanan ratification meeting, at Charleston, says
1.-The issue in the pending election of a
President is the issue of Union or Disunion
for if the strength of the Fusionists, who now
predominant in the lower House of Congress,
becomes augmented by Presidential power
and patronage as surely as there is heaven
above us, the Temple of Republican Liberty,
which our Revolutionary sages erected in
moderation, wisdom, and honor, will crumble
into ruins, and every fragment of the wreck
will be stained with blood. 1t can never be
that the people of fifteen sovereign States will
passiyely walk under the yoke while weap-
ons of defence are to be found, and there are
the hands of white men to use them.
/ regard it as the highest duty of every pa
triot in the land to contribute hrs best ener-
gies to avert this fearful catastrophe, and ana
persuaded that it can be avoided only by the
triumphant success of the Democratic party
Mr.. Buchanan was neither my first nor Sec
ond choice for the Presidency; but, as the rep
resentative of type of principles, and stand
ing boldly as lie does upon the Baltimore plat
form, upon which Gen. Pierce was carried
into power-enlarged, improved and strength
ened as it has been by the supplemental reso-
lutions adopted at Cincinnati, and by which
resolutions our principles, as practically APP
| piled to the territory of of Kanzas, have been
| re-endorsed by the American Democracy and
by their nominee-I could not be unfaithful
to the man without treachery to the princi-
| pies he represents"

THE EXPULSION OF BROOKS FROM CONGRESS,
For the past two days the course of Hon. Alex
ander Dewitt Representative in Congress from
this district in connexion with the Brooks af-
air, has been a subject Of very free comment, on
the part of his constituents. Personally. we
have none but the kindest feelings towards Col.
DeN;++ W. haze ai.pa,,e hal;~---l L. he a
true man, and, because of this belief, we labe.eI
zealously to promote his election, with pen, with
types, and with voice but we are constrained to
say that if the telegraph reports truly (of which
there is some doubt,) the memorable debate in the
House, which closed the proceedings on the ques.
ton of the expulsion of Brooks-then he has just
ly laid himself open to the censure of those he
represents. And even if he had not done so on
that occasion, his conduct on the subsequent day
if the reports true, in voting toith the South
and against all his colleagues, upon the motion to
censure hdmondson,on one OF the fellow coDspirators
of Brooks, who by his own confession was aware
of the murderous purpose of the South Carolina
rufhan, and was present, to use his own words,
Tto see justice done," will justify all the indig-
nant reproaches that are cast upon him. Under
the circumstances of the case, with the House,
sitting in judgment upon one of its mem
bers, who had disgraced himself, his country, and
his age, by cruel and cowardly assault upon a
senator from Massachusetts, for words spoken in
debate, and after that House had, by majority
oftwenty six votes, declared that the ruffian was
unworthy longer to hold seat in that body, it
would be most unbecoming for any representa-.
tive from Massachusetts to suffer that ruffian to
appeal to him "my friend from -Massachu-
sets, without an instant rebuke, or at least, an
open disclaimer of such compliment, from such
man, at such time. And especially do we
think it would be unbecoming in Massachu-
sets citizen, when appealed to by man who had
wronged and insulted Massachusetts most, to hold
up his own cane as an illustration for the South
Carolinian, to prove that the cane which nearly
bereft Senator Sumner OF reason and of life, was
smaller than his own.
Such response to such dictation from South
ern slave.driver, who had proved himself to be a
rufian, aad confessed himself murderer, as far
as intentions go, was not to be expected from any
representative of the old Bay State, and most
certainly not from any one who represents the
heart of the Commonwealth, the truest anti
slavery district in the country. Believing that
man should not be condemned without hearing,
we would respectfully suggest that those who are
SO earnest in their denuncations of the conduct
and vote of our representative, should suspend
their Judgment until we have other than tele-
graphic reports to rely upon, or until he can be
heard in his own defence, as he most certainly
will deserve 10 be, if his position is not correctly
stated.

standing we were less familiar proved himself
the worthy compeer of Brignoli, and won golden
opinions of the audience, But Miss Vail, by the
sweetness of her voice, and the brilliancy of her
execution, combined with great personal attrac-

Our readers should be reminded that the Wor-
cester Cornet Band have made arrangements for
Grand Excursion, which is to come off on Fri
day next. This arrangement offers great induce
ments to all who wish day of pleasure. 1t will
be noticed by the advertisement that the fare is
only Sl,75 to Newport and back, which is less
than the usual fare one way. Every thing has
been done to make this the most pleasant Excur-
sion of the season. The beautiful steamer Ca
nonicus, which is capable of carrying 800 persons
out to sea with perfect safety, has been engaged
to run from Providence. We hope all who wish
to enjoy themselves, and those who wish to con.
tribute to the welfare of the Band will purchase
their tickets early.

there must be some mistake in the putting of his
name among the nays-that it must have been IN
advertently transferred in the record from the
yeas to the nays. No man has denounced the

more severe terms, than Mr.. Mace, on every occa-

would not vote for Brooks expulsion, was unfit to

season to vote for the expulsion, as it was known

The histories of our towns, when well prepared,
are among the most praiseworthy publications
that are issued, and we consider their authors as
public benefactors. The sketch now under no.
tice prepared by one who has, himself, been so
long connected with and identified with the con.
Germs of the towns whose history he gives, exhib-
its praiseworthy research in the collecting of
the materials, and a commendable care in the
preparation of them, for his book, and he has
given US work that possesses more than a
merely local interest. The biographical sketch
es, in particular, with which it abounds, will
be read with great satisfaction, and we can but
express the wish that we had something sim
liar in relation to every town in our county and
State. Mr.. Davis has our thanks for his labors,
and we doubt not that the community, in his own
vicinity, especially, will concur with us, therein.

FRIDAY NOT AN UNLUCKY DAY--This day,
which has been so long superstitiously regard
ed as a day of ill-omen, has been an event
full one in American history, as will be seen
by the following ;u e.a .i-a
On Friday, Christopher Columbus sailed
on his great voyage of discovery on Fri
day he, though unknown to himself discov-
cred the continent of America. On Friday,
Henry III. Of England, gave to John Ca
bot bis commission, which led to the discov-
cry of North America. On Friday, st. Au-
gustine, the oldest town in the United States,
was founded. On Friday, the May Flower,
with the Pilgrims, made the harbor OF Prov
incetown and on the same day they signed
that august compact, the forerunner of the
present Constitution. On Friday, George
Washington was born. On Friday, Bunker
Hill was seized and fortified On Friday,
the surrender of Saratoga was made and
on Friday the surrender of CORVALLIS at
Yorktown occurred, the crowning glory OF
the American arms On Friday, the mo
ton was made in Congress that the United
Colonies were, and of right ought to be
free and Independent. Americans surely
need not be afraid of Friday.
