In Boston. at Chapman Hall, where vast crowd of
sympathisers had congregated, mass meeting was
to be held in Faneuil Hall ON Saturday night The
Massachusetts, Legislature appointed Joint Com
mIttee OF both houses to investigate the matter The
Republican county Committee of New York, met on
Friday night and passed strong denuncatory resou-
tlons, calling upon the House of Representatives TO
ezpel the assalants also upon the Courts of Wash
lngton TO punish them, otherwise the seat Of govern
ment must be removed. Thunder and lightning
Amherst College somewhere in Massachusetts, boiled
over, and the students held meeting and the profess
sors addressed Them and they too passed strong re-
solutions-acerry strong resolutions.
In the Senate on Friday Committee of five was
appointed TO take the whole matter into consdera-
constitute that Committee.
In the House, on the same day, an investigating
committee was appointed, consisting of Messrs.
Campbell of Ohio, Allison, Cobb of Georgia. Green
wood and Spinner.
Several members remarked that this was a matter
in regard TO which the laws of the country should be
allowed 10 take their without any interference
b. Congress. in it no contempt TO either House was
involved. 1t was simply Mr.. Brooks rs. Mr. Sum-
ner, as individuals. The Senate had adjourned and
therefore no indignity offered to it as a body by
the course of Mr. Brooks. 1t seems that the "ofcial
duties in which Mr.. Sumner continued to be en-.
gagged, consisted in the franking OF his infamous
speech, thus accommodating and ntensfyng the
wrong.

We are informed by citizens who attended the

that an omnibus load of 20 or more rufan bullesfrom

disgraceful acts of violence and intimidation When

pant applause the brutal outlaws exhibited the wea'
pons with which they had loaded Themselves, and the
ropes which they had brought with them, and made
loud threats of what they would do. We are in
formed that two quiet and peaceful citizens, were,
without the slightest provocation, knocked down and
severely beat by the brutes, and forced from the

utmost extremity of justice. And especially call
upon the party 10 whom these men belong, to testify

The Democratic State Convention of Michigan,
which assembled in Detroit on the 21st instant after
lnstructng the delegates to Cincinnati to vote for
and use all honorable means to secure the nomination
OF James Buchanan passed the following resolutions
Resolved, That we thank God that the administration
of Franklin Pierce is drawing to close"
Resolved That the delegates appointed to the Cncinna-
Convention be instructed under ances to vote
for assent to the nomination of Franklin Pierce for the
Presidency.
We have met the above going the rounds of the
Ant-Democrac press for the last few days, and our
attention having been drawn to by the frequency of
it's appearance, have taken the trouble to examine
the Michigan resolutions of the 21st copy of which
is now before us. They contain no such thing The
second and third of the series of resolution read as
follows -
2 Resolved, That {Genoral Cass not being candidate)
James Buchanan of Pennsylvania, choice of the de-
mocracy Michigan for the presidency that the dele
gates appointed by this convention are instructed all
fair and honorable means to Mr. BuOhanan nomna-
g. Resolved That the democracy of Michigan will give
their cordial and united support the nominee of the Ma
tona Convention, whether he from the North South
East, or West.
1t is something of puzzle to us how or where the
orginators of such things get their information or
authority Indeed, it is quite much of puzzle to
know who these ortginators
Some influential parties in Michigan are certainly
dspeased with the President for his veto of the bills
appropriating money for certain works in that
State, and the President knew that such would be
the case, and had his desire to electioneer for
votes at the Cincinnati Convention been greater
and his adherence TO principles. less than it is he
would not have vetoed these and similar bills The
Democracy of Michigan are not quite such fools as
the opponents of the party would have US to believe
AT any rate not fools enough to pass the resolutions
attributed to them

New PAPER.-We have received the first and Sec
ond numbers of the Western Sentinel l." new DEM
ocratc paper just started at Winston Forsythe coun-
ty by Messrs. Jas. Collins and F. E. Boner. 1t is
neatly printed and we'll got up affair, and promises
to do good service in the ensuing campaign
Winston is the county seat of Fo1sythe county, and
s in fact new edition of Salem, which it immed.
aIey adJolns, the Gentle of the villages not being
mile apart, and the main street wi ich runs though
both heing continuous Salem is one of those rather
queer moraVian settlements, which admit onlv those
OF their Sect at least we are informed that such
is the case, and that others cannot obtain property
or do business there Practically it is So and herce
the establishment of the county seat, near to, but
outside of town limits, where other men NAV keep
store or carry on any business they may choose.
We are glad to see Democratic press established
at Winston, for two reasons The first being the
same that made us glad to see Winston itself esab-
lished, as protest against small frog pond sort of
prescription of others and, second as an Offset
against the Salem Free Press which, for wears, had
tried to poison the public mind under an afectaton
of neutraism or independence. In that section, the
sweet German accent" with an odd sort of kink 10
1t, prevails very extensively. We remember, some
two or three years since, coming down to Salem from
the Pilot Mountain, as the sole passenger on board
the Salem and Wythevie stage, and noticing that
nearly every man, woman and child along the route
who bad q message TO deliver TO the driver, spoke
with stronger accent than the average of our citi.
zen of German birth residing in Wilmington, and
one very worthy old gentleman, since dead. whose
accent peculiarly marked we happened to gel
into conversation with at point where stop was
made for some time, and he was exceedingly opposed
to foreigners especially deprecating the appointment
| of Mr. Soule, whom he called Showl''
tits but simple justice, however, to say, that mu, /
as may dislike all the restricted ideas of some oil
these citizens Of Moravan descent, no one can deny
them the praise of industry, prudence and sobrie
ty. They in fact most excellent population
and the county contains large body of Democrat
of liberal aud progressive views.
| This is long depression from the matter will
which set out, and we return TO muttons TO
the purpose of wishing all the success in the worlC
to the enterprise OF Messrs. Collins & Boner.
By the way, the Salem Press has thrown off thu
mask and come right out Know Nothing or Ameri
can.

v7ao1nI.-We shall be much surprised, indeed

VIRGINIA-We shall be much surprised inoeeo'
if the vote of Virginia fails to accompany that OF hef
Southern sisters. and, like them, go for FRANKLIN
Pierce in the Cincinnati Convention. If the press
of Virginia expresses the feelings of her Democratic
masses then will the delegation that fails so to cast
her vote al Cincinnati fail to represent truly those
masses and the question will remain to be solved
whether the delegates or the conductors OF the press
are mistaken We know that, a matter of State
pride "a jnstiiiable State pride-Virginians would
hail the nomination of Virginia statesman-Hon.
R. NJ T. Hunter but as the contest practically con-
sdered appears to lie between the friends OF certain
prominent Northern statesmen, cannot think that
the leading State OF the South will separate from
her Southern sisters or be remss in giving evidence
of regard for one who has stood up so manfully, so
faithfully and so ably, against every encroachment
and in defence of every right And what is the gst,
the gravamen of all the charges brought against
Frank. Pierce? Wholly and solely hat he may have
honestly erred in very few of his appointments
That is the whole thing, boiled down. Now look at
it. Was General Washington unworthy of trust be-
Benedict Arnold, the great traitor of the
Revolution, was placed in command of the most i'm
porant post in the county? Who will say so p
Why, then, charge man, with such record and
such unstaned course as Frank. Pierce, with want
of fidelity, because, acting the best information
before him he failed to be nfaible in his appoint.
ments The whole charge is ridiculous.
But he has been wanting in efficiency, say some
of his accusers-not the abolitionists-be it remem
bered. They believe and tremble They know him
TO be their great and uncompromising enemy. MOI
those ambitious of public plumber They know that
he will neither steal himself let them steal Not
the drones in the navy-they, too raise row. MOI
the Danes for they know better. Not Great Britain
for her Lords and her ile press pitch into his
manly assertion of the rights of the country, which
they call arrogance. Ineficiency, indeed Non.
sense Nonsense, and they know it.
