How General Dix was cheated, and how Mr..

ceive the appointments OF Secretary Of State, and

The Boston Courier, while it condemns the as
sault Of Mr.. Brooks upon Mr.. Sumner, thus severe
" criticises Mr.. Summers speech:
The speech Of Mr.. sumner was exceedingly in-
sulting towards some gentlemen who sit with him
upon the Senate floor It was not ia consonance
with the sort of arguments which people expect
TO hear from United States Senators upon grave
question. They do not want lowery adiectives or
aretched illusions to- or Illustrations from Greece
and Rome, to give them an opinion as to how they
shall act with regard TO practical question which
Ia now before them. When Mr.. Sumner compares
Senator Butler Of South Carolina and Senator
Douglas OF Illinois to Don Quixotte and Sancho
Panza, asaimiahng one TO the character Of crazy
man and the other to that of fool, he takes
ground which Massachusetts, IN her dignity and
her ability never presented before.
In the great debate between Webster and Hayne,
in which Massachusetts came out best beyond al
comparison, no such illusions were made. The
Senator of Massachusetts, of that day descended to
no low backguardism. In the strength Of his faith
and in the force Of bis ability he presented Mas
sachusetts before the Senate Of the United States
In such manner that men bowed down and wor-
shipped her. "There' said he, sis Boston, and
Concord, and Lexington, and Bunker HIM."

From the Baltimore Patriot.


For the first time since the organization of our
government Senator Of the United States has
been assaulted and severely beaten for words 500
ken in debate Great as the provOcati0n undoubted-
ly was, no Senator, member of the House, or pri-
vate citizen is justified in righting his wrongs by
resort to personal violence. If personality be In
dulged In, either in the Hall Of the Representa-
tyes or In the Senate Chamber, it becomes the
duty of the presiding officer to administer prompt
rebuke to the offender, and point of selffespect
with the members to hold no intercourse with any
one Of their body who persists in the attempt TO
disgrace himself and them. The bitter epithets
and fragrant aspersions cast by Mr.. Summer upon
respectable Senator's in his recent speech on Kan
sas affairs and especially upon Senator Butler, Of
South Carolina, during the absence Of the latter
from the Senate Chamber, met with the unquaIi-
fed Reproduction Of all who have been accustomed
to regard Senator'S as dignifed body of men, and
as exemplifying, by the courtesy and decorum they
have usually observed, proper sense Of selEre-
spect and due appreciation Of the important
functions they were callednpon to perform.
Unhappily, under the auspices Of the present adj
ministration, the domination of the Democratic
party and the reckless renewal Of that slavery All,
taton TO which they stood pledged to put an end
" both in and out of Congress" a war Of sections
has been provoked, which has led to blOodshed in
Kansas and TO a scene Of violence In the Senate
Chamber. But II the course pursued by Mr. SUM
ner, and the gross personalities with which his
speech was interlarded gave just cause Of offence,
the assault upon him by Mr. Brooks, member OF
the lower House, is still more deserving Of the Sc
verest animadversion. When Mr. Sumner so far
forgot his character as a gentleman and bis posi-
ton as a Senator ss to exchange invectve for ar
gument II was obligatory on the presiding officer
10 compel him to confne his remarks strictly with
in the line Of legitimate discussion; and the wide
range which the debate was suffered to take must
be admitted 70 have been partly owing to this de-
reelection.
( The conduct Of Mr.. Brooks cannot be instlRed.
BY in6icting chastisement upon a Senator, Cor
words spoken in debate, he has exaspersted the
evil he voluntarily undertook TO corract, and hua
raised himself 70 the bad eminence beinr fh1

TO Doctor MdorudsT !:

10 Doctor Mdg1ldsT:
SIR: have had the fortune to be acquainted
with you for some time. do not address you as
party man, belonging as I do to no party my
sell, but as an independent one. ] am aware, sir,
that you delight in very forcibe expressions pecu.
liar to yourself alone. You say that your oppo.
nents charge you with being a brainless fool,
chnckle-headed, &c. / will not charge you with
being any of those things with which you say you
are charged but perhaps, sir, without any great
difficulty or violation Of the rules Of propriety,
may prove yen all of them
Your remarks at Potomac Hall were, have no
doubt, perfectly convincing to your friends; and
it is to some OF those remarks would call your
attention. Your reference to Mr. Hill was entirely
devoid of good taste and cannot be satisfactory to
yourself You seemed to think 1t one of the worst
Of crimes to be possessed Of riches Is 1t not a
Unknown fact that, at the last Mayors election,
Mr.. Maury spent large sums Of money, with the
administration to back him. to secure his election
and failed? Now, sir, whose fault was that. the
moneys or the peoples?
And then again you made it your boast, that
with many opportunities to be rich, you had not
become 80. With what proPriety then can you
ask the suffrage of the citizens of Washington, to
give you the control of their affairs when Won Ia
city confess your inability to manage your own
For this is the substance of your confession, word
1t as you will indeed, have heard it urged as a
claim to your election.
You charged the American party with causing
the riots at Louisville and Cincinnati and dealt
with evident gnsto upon the case Of Nailor as be-
ing one of the results of the principles of that
party. Il is very evident that none but weak minds
would seize upon that pretext to hold party re-
sponsible for the acts of one individual Drowning
men catch at straws; apply tie proverb to your
self Your memory must be of q very singular
character; You forget to mention the occurrence
ut Wizards Hotel as case to illustrate your point
contradict you, sir, when you say that the city
does not pay for the foot payements The city does
and 1t is always reckoned among the expenditures.
The property holders pay the city for them after
wards.
Your whole speech, sir, was but a repetition OF
the same matter over which has been floating about
from time to time, and without any argument in It.
and think may safely say that your failure was
as complete as that Of your honorable friend from
Illinois, when he attempted TO quote portion Of
one of the commandments; though must confess
should have been disappointed Il he had succeed
ed. Please say to him that the word ID has
more than one application. H.
