THE PROUD OF THE
DEMOCRACY


Every mail brings us the most cheer
ing intelligenceiof the healthy condition
of the Democracy in all portions of the
country. That party was never more
thoroughly aroused than it now is by the
sneaking, hypocritical and monstrous
movements of the underground factions,
and it is clear that it is resolved to do its
whole duty in the approaching Presi-
Dental struggle. Good men, and con-
seryatiyes of all parties, are rapidly
coming to the conclusion, that our insti-
tutions are in imminent danger which
can only be averted by their hearty CO.
operation with the only party in the
country whose platform is national and
on-preserying. The eyes of consor-
yatives of all parties, are opened to the
miscellaneous workings of fanaticism, and
the tide of opposition to the most dis
graceful and dangerous isms that ever
I
stained the annals Of any country, is
rising in every quarter, to oyerwhclm
the conspirators against popular rights.
We verify believe that the safety of the
Union itself is involved in the momen-
tous contest which will soon be opened.
But we have scarcely any apprehensions
of the final result. we confidently look
to the Democracy of the Union and the
conservative men of all creeds and sccts,
to roll bacl; the tide CT innovation from
the borders of our land, and to save the
Union from disruption. Our confidence
in the patriotism of the American people
is too great to allow us to fear for one
moment that they will not rebuke in the
most striking manner the Vaccinations
Of corrupt factions which threaten to
crush the liberties and subdue the proud
character of the happiest people on this
green earth. The Democracy, united
in ono solid phalanx, can proudly and
successfully withstand all the combined
forces of the disunionists, and can and
will save the Union by the moral force
of its position, relying as it does on the
eternal principles of Truth, and fortified
by the ramparts of the Constitution of
the country. Our hope is in a aa,ion "
patriots for the sake of tie Union. Let
this be our battle-cry during this momcn-
tous contest; a contest that involves no
thing less than the salvation of the Fed
eral Union, and the preservation of con-
stitutional freedom.

ESy No one who reads the signs of the
time with ordinary care can doubt that
Know-nothingism is expiring from all
parts Of our country. The leaders of
the organization feel this to be so and
in their desperate efforts to keep it alive,
they resort to the most ridiculous and
inconsistent devices. Feeling well as
sured that Know nothingism and Adolf
tionism in the North are too closely
knitted together to be speedily divorced,
they are lavish in national professions
and loud in denunciations of that section
alism upon which they have heretofore
triumphed.
But the great object Of the majority
of the Know-nothing leaders is not more
to serve their few friends at the South
than to prevent the Democrats ofthe North
from recalling to the Democratic ranks
all those Democrats who have been Sc
duced by Know-nothing Establishments
into the secret order. This is the way
in which they can most effectualiy and
safely and secretly, help the abolition de-
signsof Mr.. SEWARD, whose plan now is to
combine the whole party with the North
ern abolitionists, that the Northern Know
nothings will be compelled to yield to the
combination in order to save themselves.
The fact that Know-nothingism has been
an effective engine against the Demo
cratic party in the free States, must
alone drive all those into Stewards new
party, who desire to defeat the Demo
cratic party, and who look forward &c
the day when the rights Of the South
may be successfully withheld from her
Hence it is, that, on the other hand
the Democrats who have been misled in
to the Know-nothing organization, and
who will not go into Stewards party,
must be held up to their pledges and
their oaths, and encouraged by national
declarations on the part Of the Southern
leaders
That the abolition wing of the Know
nothing party is the strongest and the
controlling wing Of the new organization,
and that it will be able TO cast more votes
for lis candidates, can no longer be doubt
ed. The other and counter organization
is blind--a mere sham 7; and will be
maintained only to keep Democrats in
the Know-nothing order, and to enable
Southern demagogucs to cloak their in
trigucs with the enemies Of Southern in
situations.
1t has, in word, come to this. Tho
Seward wing Of the Know-nothings i.
the master organization of the North
after the Democratic party. This is the
party which the Southern Know nothingi
viii be called upon to choose in opposition
to the Democracy. Contemplate as th'
other division now is in all the essential
Of strength, il cannot fail to become more
and more feeble as the events of tn,
times arc made known. That the South
crn politicians who have got into tn
Know-nothing ordar win be forced d
admit lhis full soon we DO not d,ubs
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1856-05-24

and we arc equally free to believe that
some of them have already secretly re-
solved to take Seward and his scheme in
preference to the Democratic party and
its candidates. Let us, however, wait
and watch.

TESYEssEE.--A Democratic Conven-
ton was recently held in the FIRST dis
trict Of Tennessee for the purpose of Sc
lectiug Presidential elcctor. In the
report Of the proceedings Of the convcn-
ton, as published in the Nashville Union,
it is stated that General THOMAS ID. Ar
MOLD, an old-line Wing, and formerly a
distinguished member of Congress, be-
ing loudly called for by the convention,
appeared upon the stand, and in most
happy address, entertained the conven-
ton for considerable length of time. =
He announced the fact that he was an
old-line Wing, and, strange to tell, hi,
party was now without organization and
defunct Il mad either turned Know
nothing or fused with the Democratic
party, and there was left him no Other
alternative than to unite With the De.
mocracy and save the country from Tho
vile pollutions Of Know-nothingism.

AssAUITUpoN MIR. sUMNER.

/
WASHINGTON, May 22.--Immediately
after the adjournment of Congress to-day
while Senator Sumner, of Massachusetts
was still in the Senate Chamber, DIR
Brooks, member Of the House from
South Carolina, entered, and approach.
ing Senator Sumner, accused him of Ii.
beling South Carolina, and his grey
headed relative, Senator Butler. I'm
mediately after saying this he struck Mr..
Sumner with cane. Mr.. S. fell to the
floor and Brooks repeated the Gaming I'M
til Mr.. Sumner became deprived of the
power Of speech. Previously he called
for help, but no one interferel until his
assailant had completed his design. Mr..
Sumner was then carried to his room
1t is not ascertained yet whether his in
juries are serious or not.
SECOND DESPATCH.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-Somc eye
witnesses say Mr.. Brooks struck Mr..
Sumner as many as twenty times over
the head. Senator Sumner was sitting
in an armchair when the assault was
made upon him. lie had no opportu-
nifty to defend himself There are yari-
GUS opinions on the subject and quite
contradictory. Many were applauding
the act, whilst others were denouncing it
as cowardly attempt to beat down free
dom of speech, The affair viii, undoubt-
edly, cause great debate in the Senate
tomorrow.
Mr.. Brooks was arrested shortly after
the affair, complaint having been made
against him on oath of VIM. Y. Leader,
and was brought before Justice Hollings-
head, and held to balm $500 to answer
Mr.. Sumner has two severe but net
dangerous wounds on the head. Brooks
cane was shattered in many pieces, de-
monstrating the violence of the assault.
When the attack was made there were
probably fifteen or twenty persons pres
ent, including Messrs. Crittenden, Fos-
ter, Toombs, Fitzpatrick, Murray, Nor
gan and other members Of Congress
Governor German, together with several
officers of the Senate and strangers. The
attack was SO sudden and unexpected
that Mr.. Sumner had no opportunity to
place himselfin defensive attitude
The first blow stunned him, and the
stick, which was Of gutta pcrcha, was
broken into many pieces by the time the
assault was terminated. Messrs. Crit
tenden, Toombs, Murray and others, in
terfered as soon as they could, and prob
ably prevented further damage. Great
excitement exists here tonight in con-
sequence of the affair.
Sumner sank unconscious to the floor,
where be lay till raised by his friends.
His head was bathed in blood, and his
physicians say he has the severest flesh
wounds they ever saw on mans head,
and deny his friends admission to him
tonight.

Cutter very seldom requiring to be ground
the Reel draws up the grain to the Sickle, land

Of stubble, from one inch 10 fourteen, without
