and he is now in attendance in obedience
to the summons Of the committee, and is
quite necessary to the prosecution Of our
work. My own opinion is, that under these
circumstances, he is privileged from arrest
to the same extent that member of the
committee would be.
Under the resolutions of the House, the
committee have power to arrest persons
who shall, for any cause whatever, obstruct
or hinder them in their investigation, and
send them to Washington, to be treated as
for contempt of the House. The commit
tee will only use this power in case of
wanton and flagrant cases of hindrance in
the performance of their duties. Especi-
ally will the committee avoid all unneces-
sary collision with the legal authorities.
The committee decline to take any action
on the subject, and in this we are unani-
nous, although we differ as to the question
of privilege"

Another Tragedy at Washington "A

WASHINGTON, May 22.-lmmedately
after the adjournment of congress TO- day,
and while Mr.. Sumner was still in the

Carolina, entered and approached Mr..
Sumner, accusing him of libelling South

Mr.. Butler. He chen struck Mr.. Sumner
with his cane, and Mr.. Sumner fell, Mr..
Brooks then continued TO repeat his
blows till Mr.. Sumner was deprived of
the power of speech He was taken up
and carried to his room. 1t has not been
ascertained whether his injuries are Sc
rious or not. When the attack was made
Mr.. Sumner called for help, but no one
interlered until Mr. Brooks ceased the as

Some eye witnesses say that Brooks
struck Sumner fifty times over the head.

opportunity to defend himself. Opinions

When the attack was made upon Mr.
Sumner, there were probably from Is to

Gov. German and several officers of the
Senate. The attack was so sudden and
unexpected, that he had no opportunity
to place himself in defensive altitude
The first blow stunned him, and The stick
which was guta percho, was broken into
many pieces, by the time the assault was
terminated. Crittenden and Others inter-

DEMOCRATIC CREED.

The following platfcrm;is taken from
the Cleveland Leuder, which we recon.
mend TO the consideration Of the ap-
preaching National Convention to be held
in Cincinnati, in June, prox, Il seems
to embody in a condensed form The prin,
ciples for which the degenerate Democ-
racy are at this time struggling.
/. That Slavery may go wherever it
pleases, and that the Nebraska Bill shall
be itspassport.
2. That the great end of the govern
ment is TO plant and sustain Slavery.
3. That new slave states may be ad-
mitted with any number Of inhabitants,
and with constitutions formed in any man
ner whatsoever; but that new free states
must contain just ninety-lhree thousand
four hundred and twenty inhabitants, with
constitutions formed by conventions call
ed together in manner which the Senate
shall provide, and shall contain no terri
tory which slavery wants.
4. That it shall be lawful to imprison
citizens of the territories for discussing
the slavery question, and lawful to put
citizens to death for encouraging slaves to
obtain their freedom.
5. That the citizens of slave States
may call to their aid United States troops
whenever their authority is questioned.
6. That prO-slavery ruffians may beat,
tar-and-leather, shoot, and chop in pieces
whoever may be obnoxious TO them.
7. That slave catchers shall be paid for
their services by the federal government,
and that United States marshal may
employ as assistance al least four hundred
drunken rowdies to force into bondage
people who have been free.
8. That the ST. Clair Flats, being in
no way connected with the general com.
merce of the republic, should not be rem.
dered navigabe, lest appropriations
should be asked for the improvement of
every rvulet in the land
8 That pro-slavery members of Con,
gress may shoot Irish walters with impu-
nifty.
