FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

BY the arrival at New York of the steamer
Atlantic, we have accounts from England to the
llth Of June. No certain intelligence of the
dismissal Of Mr.. Champion had been received,
the steamer bearing Mr.. Marcy's despatch not
having arrived. The reports current in the
American papers. however, were looked upon
as rendering the dismissal fixed fact, and the
English papers found their remarks upon it az
fact. But they utter no sound Of war, though
some of them are indignant, and the London
Times descends to abuse. Judging from their
comments, the New York Courier infers that,
when Mr.. Marcy's despatch arrives, $50 far
from its causing a rupture between the United
States and England, the spirit of amity it
breathes will be reciprocated by the English
Government, and Mr.. Dallas even will not be-
dismissed"

CINCINNATI, JUNE 90, I856.-The nomina.
tions of Fremont and Dayton are well received
in this city. All the German papers, excepting
the Voik&treund, support the ticket. Of these
papers, two are Democratic, and one OF them,
the VOlkSbtatt, represents now, as 1t has for
twenty years, the purer Democratic element in
our city. The Repu6!ikaner, the former Wing
organ, is warm for Fremont.

THE HOUSE REPORT ON THE SUMNER
ASSAULT.

The report Of the House Committee concern
inv the assault on Mr.. Sumner will be taken
mp Tuesday, July sth. A contemporary in New
York seems to think that its discussion should
be characterized by extreme personalities, and
quotes passage from the Congressional Globe,
10 show the terms in which Mr.. Benton denoun-
ced M. Foote, who drew pistol in the Senate
in wha; he called selfdefence.
We do not think the example a good one.
The assault on Senator Sumner is to be regard
ed not as merely personal matter, a quarrel
between individuals, but a question of privilege,
a question of freedom of debate in Congress.
How this is to be calculated by acrimonious
personalities or decided on sound principles,
by getting up Grow" among hot-headed
members, we cannot exactly understand. 1t
may be discussed thoroughly and boldly, and
yet with the decorum enjoined by the rules of
the House and by common sense.

IMPORTANT CORRECTION.

The second resolution of the platform adopted
blythe Philadelphia Convention is so dis6gured
By blunders, as printed in the papers, that it
cannot be understood. Mr.. Giddings has fur
nished us with correct copy, as follows:
-. ResOLUed, That, with our Republican
fathers, we hold it to be a selfevident truth
that all men are endowed with the unalienable
right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness; and that the primary object and Interior
design of our Federal Government were to Sc.
cure those rights to all persons within its ex-
elusive jurisdiction that as our Republican
fathers, when they had abolished Slavery in all
our National Territory, ordained that no person
should be deprived of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law, it becomes our duty
to maintain this provision of the Constitution
against all attempts to violate it, to prevent the
establishment of Slavery in the Territories of
the United States by positive legislation pro-
hIbtng its existence therein. And we deny the
authority Of Congress, of Territorial Legisla-
ture, of any individual or association of individ-
uas, to give legal existence to Slavery in any
Territory of the United States, while the pres
eht Constitution shall be maintained"

Mr.. FILLNoRE's FRIENDS AND FRENoSr.-
Mr.. Fillmore's reception by his eountrymen has
thus far, in the main, been fattering; we only
regret taas he had not been better prepared
than, from the tenor of his recent letter accept
ing the nomination for the Presidency, he ap-
pears to have been, for the evidences Of politi-
cal detection which greeted him upon his land
ing, of which the most signal and discouraging
was that of the Fillmore National Club, on
Saturday evening.
This club is said to consist of between two
and three thousand members, and yields, of
course, a very powerful influence, not only over
the politics Of this city and State, but over the
whole nation. 1t will be seen, by our report
elsewhere, that its members have formally
abandoned all hope of accomplishing ANYTHING
for Fillmore and Donelson, and, in view of the
pressing necessity for OK. organized and united
opposition to tas further extention of Slavery,
they have determined to give their undivided
and cordial support to Fremont and Dayton.
