PULPIT POLITICAL PARTIZANs RE-
BUKED.

We gave an account some days since of an
exhibition in the pulpit Of church in Phila.
delphia, Of character so discreditable that the
senior warden of the church felt called upon
openly to protest against it. We are glad to
perceive that the vestry are concerned in this
rebuke, and have given expression to their dis
satisfaction by the following resolutions:
"Resolred, That the members of the vestry
have learned with deep and sincere regret that
the rector of this church has deemed it his duty
to select the Lords day, and the pulpit of this
church, as the time and place for the discussion
OF sectional politics, and, while desiring to enter
tain and express nothing inconsistent with the
highest respect for gentleman holding so
sacred and important an Office, they feel it a
solemn obligation to declare their disapproba-
ton of the substitution of such themes for the
simple preaching of Jesus Christ and Him
crucifed as the hope of ruined world.
"ResOtUed, That we most respectively, but
firmly, protest against any repetition of such
like sermon rs that preached on the evening of
Sunday the 10Th inst.
"ResotUed, That the secretary be requested
to communicate to the rector copy of the fore.
going resolutions"
RB- We believe this is not the first time that
Palmer, Cook Co., with the funds of the
State in hand, have permitted default in the
payment Of interest on the bonds of that State.
These bankers are politicians, and have close
afinities with some of the denounced men OF
San Francisco.

The failure Of the State of California to
provide for the payment of the interest due on
her bonds, July lst has excited much atten-
ton. We RETAINED from making any remarks
upon 1t yesterday, because there was plan on
foot to raise the money here, and for obvious
reasons we did not wish TO interfere, although
doubtful of its success. The plan was for Col.
Fremont, who has business connections more
or less intimate with Palmer, Cook a. Co., to
raise the money upon his personal security.

Union of the New York Democracy.

There was some slight misunderstanding
between the two sections Of the New York
Democracy at their late meeting at Albany, in
relation to calling State Conventions to nomi-
nate candidates for public Offices. 1t is now
arranged to hold the two conventions at syria
cuse on the same day, in order to harmonic
for the great contest. We earnestly hope that
no suicidal policy will then be allowed TO pre-
vail. II they shall fail to harmonic, the idea
is suggested by the New York San that there
shall be grand revolution in the party for the
purpose of getting up an entirely new Union
organization.-Pennsy July 3.

The Brooks and summer Case IN Court.
About half past 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing the case of the assault of the Hon. Preston
S. Brooks on the Hon. Charles Sumner in the
Senate Chamber, after the days session on the
22d of May last, was called up for trial after
postponement from Monday, the 3Oth June.
When the name of the principal witness,
Mr.. Sumner himself, was called by the bailiff
and no answer returning, Mr.. KEY, the District
Attorney, rose and informed the Court that he
had received letter from Mr. Sumner, dated
the 4th of July, by which. it would be seen that
he (Mr. 81 did not then expect to be present
at the trial on the 9Th of July. The District
Attorney, having remarked that the trial was
first set for the 30th June, begged to read to
the Court the correspondence upon the subject
between himself and Mr.. Sumner in reference
to the matter of attendance. The correspon-
dence is as follows, commencing with Mr..
Summers explanation of his not presenting
himself before the Court on last Monday week:
SILVER SPRING, June 80, 1856.
DEAR Sir: find myself unable to attend
Court to-day. Since the summons of the
Marshal | have suffered a relapse, by which /
am enfeebled and also admonished against
exertion. Being out of town, have not had
the opportunity of consulting my attending
physician; but skilful medical friend, who has
visited me here, earnestly insists that cannot
attend Court for some time to come without
peril to my health.

The Accident on the Washingt ton Rail.
rOQd.

The Accident on the washington Rail-
road.
We take from the Baltimore papers the fol-
lowing facts of the late accident on the Wash
ington Railroad:
The passenger train which left Washington
at half-past four o'clock on Monday evening
was thrown from the track about mile west
of the Relay House. 1t appears that switch
at the sideling at that place had been mis-
placed or unlocked, which caused the engine
to run upon the sideling for short distance
and upset, taking the baggage and other cars
with it. The baggage car was crushed and
broken into fragments, and three or four cars
ran pell.mell into each other, breaking the
front portions of them all to pieces.
Mr.. James Cough, the engineer, was thrown
from the locomotive directly under the wheels,
which passed over his breast and neck, killing
him instantly Mr.. Cough resided in this city,
and leaves wife and three children.
Henry Nagle, newspaper carrier, who at
tended the trains to sell papers, was instantly
killed by being thrown from the platform and
run over by the wheels of the smoking car.
John Russell, fireman, had one Of his arms
broken and his face badly scalded and bruised.
He was brought to the Infrmary.
William Bridges, confectioner, of Baltimore
street, received fracture of one arm, besides
sustaining great internal injury.
Brice Worthington, of Annapolis, sustained
two severe fractures Of one of bis ankles and
thighs, and was otherwise bruised. He was
taken in carriage by Hon. Reverdy Johnson
and conveyed to neighboring farmhouse.
A gentleman named Cumminsky was badly
bruised about the head and face. Two colored
women we're also badly injured.
The dead and injured, with the exception o
Mr.. Worthington, were taken to Baltimore anc
placed in charge of their relations and friends

We insert as a part of the history of the
times and for future reference the following
document now circulating throughout New
England:
The person to whom this petition is trans
mitted Is earnestly requested to circulate it for
signatures of the men and the women in his
town, and see that it is speedily sent to either
Senators Wilson, Hale, Wade, Seward, and
Fessenden, or to Messrs. Gddings, Buringame,
Collamer, or any other suitable representative
at Washington.
TO the Senate and House Of Representatives Of
the United States.
The undersigned, citizens and inhabitants of
-, State of --, respectfully submit to
Congress
That, as, in the nature of things, antagon-
istical principles, interests, pursuits and insti-
tutions can never unite; that an experience of
more than threescore years having demon
strated that there can be no real union between
the North and the South, but, on the contrary,
ever unceasing alienation and strife, at the
imminent hazard of civil war, in consequence
their conflicting views in relation to freedom
and slavery; that the South having declared it
10 be not only her right and purpose to eternize
extend it over all the territories that now belong
or may hereafter be annexed to the republic,
come what may; and having outlawed from
her soil the entire free-coored population of the
North, made it perilous for-any northern white
citizen to exercise his constitutional right of
freedom of speech in that section of the country,
and even in the national capital, and proclaimed
her hostility to all free institutions universally:
We, therefore, believe that the time has come
for new arrangement of elements SO hostile,
OF interests so irreconclable, of institutions SO
homogeneous; and we earnestly request Congress,
at its present session, to take such initatory
measures for the speedy and equitable dissola-
ton Of the eristing Union as the exigencies of
the case require-leaving the South to depend
upon her own resources and to take all the
responsibility in the maintenance of her slave
system, and the North to organize an indie
pendent government in accordance with her
own ideas ofjustice and the rights of man.

From the Star of last evening.
fne Herbert and Heating Case.

Long before the hour assigned for the open
ing Of the Criminal Court I'll a. n.y. the court
| room was crowded, in anticipation of the open
ing of the trial Of p. I. Herbert, charged with
the murder Of Thomas Heating. At twenty
minutes past eleven a. m, Herbert was brought
in from the jail and placed in the prisoners
box. He was speedily surrounded by his
friends and counsel Mr. VIM Carey Jones
and ex-Gov. McDougal, of California, stepped
over the railing and seated themselves in the
box with the prisoner.
The court room was found so oppressive in
consequence of the heat and crowd, that it was
found necessary TO bring in carpenters to take
down the blinds and throw open the great
northern window, and an officer was stationed
at the window to prevent the crowd from occu-
plying the position.
Messrs. Bradley, Radcliffe, and Hon. Percy
Walker appeared for the defence, and the Dis
trict Attorney for the United States.
The names of the following witnesses were
called for the United States Thomas Broduck,
John Edbright, Charles Quinn, Jerry Riordan,
Michael Dougherty, G. De Venois, Michael
Carroll, Patrick Heating, John Redip, Francis

When Mr.. KEY had concluded the reading
Of the correspondence, he said that no reason
appearing why the case should not 60 on, he
thought it his duty to proceed, view in which
the Court concurred. The first witness brought
to the stand was
Mr.. II. Y. Leader, Of Philadelphia. He had
no personal knowledge of Mr.. Brooks prior to
the assault; was standing within six feet Of
Mr. Summers desk at the time Of the occur
renee; saw Mr.. Brooks approach the place Of
Mr.. Sumner, and indistincty heard some re.
marks by the former to the latter, but took
them to be Of friendly nature; Mr.. Summer
was at the time bearing down upon his desk
busily engaged in writing heard Mr.. Brooks
call upon Mr. Sumner and then raise n cane,
striking him blow over the head, and follow
ing it with five or six more, which he struck at
random. After receiving five or six blows Mr..
Sumner raised from his seat, Mr.. Brooks still
striking him, when the cane broke. 1t was o
gutta percha cane, like common walking
stick, tapering towards the end, and hollow.
After the cane had broken Mr.. Brooks kept on
striking, and Mr.. Sumner fell did not know
what caused him TO fall Mr.. Brooks then
struck Mr.. Sumner several times after he was
