In THE SENATE, on Thursday the 18th instant
Mr.. HAMLIN asked 10 be, andw excused, from
serving Chairman Of the Committee on Com
merce assigning as reason for the request
that, the Cincinnati Democratic Convention
had endorsed the Kansas Nebraska act, he could
no longer act with that party, and could support
no man for President who recognized such doe
trines
Mr.: BUTLER, lin proceeding to notice Mr..
Summers speech, which led 10 the assault u pom
the latter by Mr. BrooksJ said the necessity for
addressing the Senate on this occasion was
brought about by events over which he had no
conirol-events which have grown out Of con-
troversy, from the commencement of which the
Senator from Massachusetts, not now in his seat
(Mr. Sumner0 would be held exclusively respon-
sble by his country and his God. He had deliver
ed a speech, the most extraordinary that ever had
utlerance in any legislative body, recognizing the
sanctions Of law and Of the Constitution. All
that time Mr.. Butler was not here, and what he
would have done If he had been here il would
now be perfectly idle to say, because no one can
substitute the deliberations of subsequent period
for what might have taken place on the impulse
Of the moment
Mr.. BUTLER then severely criticized the speech
of Mr.. Sumner, and earnestly condemned the res.
outions of the Massachusetts Legislature, which
he said condemned Mr.. Brooks without hearing.
He likewise justified the chastisement of Mr.
Sumner, by his relative
Yesterday, Mr.. BUTLER concluded his remarks,
and was replied to by Mr. Wilson, when the Sen
ate adjourned till Monday.
In THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ne quorum
was present, either Thursday or Friday, and
therefore an adjournment took place without the
transaction of any business.

HON. DANIEL S. DICKINSON.

Hear the words of wisdom and patriotism
from the "noblest Roman of them all.''
At the great Democratic mass ratification
meeting held in Philadelphia on Tuesday even
ing, the following telegraphic dispatch, received
from Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, was read and
received with great applause:
BINGHAMPToN, N. Y, June 10, 1856
Invitation too late for me to attend or write
!. commend the Cincinnati nomination to the
country as one fit TO be made. The Demo-
cracy and the whole conservative element of
the country will rejoice in the selection Of Mr.
Buchanan because he is statesman and not
political spokesman; because he has capacity
learning and experience becoming the station;
because his name will guarantee respect and
justice from abroad, and insure domestic re-
pose; because he has wisdom and integrity to
maintain inviolate the rights of sovereign States
and preserve the Constitutional Union. Mr..
Breckenridge is type of his glorious State
generous and powerful. In early maturity i'm
bibed with the spirit of the times and replete
with promise. The success of this ticket is
what the country needs-what it is destined to
enjoy, and what will restore it to its true posi-.
ton at home and abroad-over sea and land

of his neighbor, if there we're no other means
OF preventing the flames from destroying his
own home. Under such circumstances, we
ought neither to count the cost nor regard the
odds which Spain might enlist against us.
"We forbear to enter into the question
whether the present condition of the Island
would Justify such q measure. We should,
however, be recreant to ourduty-be unworthy
OF our gallant forefathers, and commit base
treason against our posterity, should we permit
Cuba to be Africanized and become a second
st. Domingo, with all its attendant horrors to
the>white race, and suffer the flames to extend
to our neighboring shores, seriously to endanger
or actually to consume the fair fabric OF our
Union. We fear that the course and current
of events are rapidly tending toward such a
JAMES BUCHANAN,
JOHN Y. MASON,
PIERRE SOULEn
"Air-La- Chapelle Oct l8, 1854"
One brief sentence in the above describes
the purport and substance of the whole docu-
ment -" Our past history forbids that we
should acquire the Island of Cuba without the
consent Of Spain, unless justified by the great
law of selEpreservation." If the acquisition
Of the Island should become the very condition
of our existence, then if Spain shall refuse to
part with it for price star beyond its present
value" we shall be justified Sin wrestling it ~
from her, "upon the very same principle that
would justify an individual in tearing down the
burning house Of his neighbor, if there were no
other meaus OF preventing the flames from de-
stroyiDg his own home"
This doctrine is not original with the Ostend
Conference, nor did it emanate from fillibuster-
ing cupidity; nor is it mere party issue. 1t
has been as broadly asserted, and as conf
IDENTITY and ably advocated, by Wing states
man and administration, as in the Ostend
Manifesto Mr.. Everett, United States Secre-
tary of State, in his letter to the British and
French Ministers declining the alliance ten
dered by them to guaranty the possession of
Cuba to Spain for all coming time defends his,
refusal, on the ground that the United States
have an interest in the condition of Cuba which
may justify her in assuming dominion over it
an interest in comparison with which that of
England and France dwindes into insignif.
canoe.
The attempt made by Mr.. Buchanan to ac-
quire Cuba was wholly under the direction of
our Government, the views expressed by him
were not intended for publication. and they
arose on question of purchase. The other
contingency referred to not only by him but
Mr.. Everett, is so remote and improbable as
scarcely to need consideration. Should it,
however, unfortunately arise so as seriously
to endanger the fair fabric of our Union," the
American people will determine 10 assume the
dominion over Cuba which Mr.. Everett sug-
gests, rather than haye the Union destroyed.

say that II will be devoted 10 earnest faithful,
and he trusts, efficient advocacy of Democratic
principles as expounded and illustrated by those
two great fathers and apostles Of Democracy
Thomas JEFFERSON, and ANDREW JACKSON. The
principles and examples Of thos. two ustrous
men inculcatc the duty of maintaining with in
flexible fidelity the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF
THE STATES, and the SOVEREIGN AND IsALIKNABLK
RIoHTs OF THE PEoPLE, as the corner stones of
our republican system OF government Those
great conservative ideas will always. find express
sion in the columns of IN journal which the
dersigncd is about TO establish.
Il will 6iso support with zeal and fidelity all

honorably made. While, on the other hand, it
will resoutey oppose every attempt TO subvert the
Democratic organization into mere ma. hine for
the aggrandizement of individuals or factions.
Ondcr the nag OIL democracy all nave equal rights
and privileges. None should be prescribed, aud
none ostracized from the party, for refusing 70
bow 10 the dctation Of selfish cliques within the
Democratic organization who attempt TO WELD il

the qualification Of their dislkes and pa ssions,
In the columns of the "STANpARp' all interests of
the party, and ali who recognize its principles,
will be candidly heard, and kindly and impartally
treated. And he will further add, that its tone
and language in the discussion of the principles
q. which it will be devoted, will be dgnifed and
becoming.
With such views and purposes in the conduct
of his proposed paper, the undersigned hopes for
success. He believes public sentiment in this
State now demands the establishment at the
Capital of such journal as he proposes 10 pub
lish.
The DEMOCRATIC STANDARD will be published on
a sheet of the size of the Soon greg gational Jour
ma" which is 36 by 25 inches, and is one Of the
largest and arest papers in the State. II will be
