The BROOKS AFrAIR.-Is it not dsgraceful
that the press Of the country should find no bet
ter theme for discussion than the rowdy assault
committed the other day in the Senate Chamber?
That Congress, with all its responsibility and all
it's position, should do the like and waste on a
police case energy and time that are due to the
nation
We had thought that the violence Of most of
the Northern journals on the occasion of the
assault was the sablimest pitch Of folly; but the
southerners have found higher ptch-a lower
deep There, in the South, in the infUiate blind
ness Of their partizanshp, respectable men are
heard openly to applaud brutal breach Of the
peace, and to reward its author. Even the mig.
gers are walked up to give testimonial to Massa
Brooks. We have indeed heard it suggested that
the Southern men-wLo are noted for their fine
sense Of humor-have intended douJle-entendre
by their presents to Brooks and have delicately
conveyed to him their impression that If he de-
fcry.d anything, il was gaming. However LIS

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE CENTRAL AMERICAN
QUEsrIoN-We publish this morning report of
the debate in the Senate on the 10th inst, in re-
lation to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. Mr.. Clay
ton re-opened the whole subject in order to reply
to the statements recently made in the British
Parliament by the Earl Of Clarendon. AS the
debate gives the American view of the matter
in euenso, we have no doubt that it will be quite
interesting to the HERALD readers at home and
abroad.

good deal Of the swill Of the distillery, and q
liberal infusion of chalk and water.
We adhere to the point, however, all parties
having signed the pledge of loyalty to the consti.
tuition, that the Union is safe whatever may be
the issue of this most singular, exciting and mo-
mentous sectional struggle. There is nothing
extraneous in this fight to endanger the Union
excepting, perhaps, the Cincinnati foreign plat
form, Forney and his filibusters, and the Ostend
manifesto. On the subject Of slavery there is
nothing but Kansas, and unless the democracy
are playing false game uponpopular sovereign
ty there is very simple remedy ordained for
the trouble in that quarter
1t is Sinking and begging the question 10
urge the election Of Mr.. Buchanan on the plea
that, with the success of sectional candidate,
the South will secede from the Union-that her
f0rbearance is exhausted-that she has already
been driven to the wall by Northern aggressions.
There have been aggressions on both sides. The
Northern aid societies have made some pretty
bold aggressions upon the Territory of Kansas;
but we think they have been completely eclpsed
by the aggressions of the f" border ruf6ans =
Senator Sumner made an aggression upon the
revolutionary antecedents of South Carolina and
upon Senator Butler; hut in return, Mr.. Brooks,
. the nephew of his uncle" made an aggression
upon Senator Sumner, at least balancing the ac-
count between the parties. The Southern ultras
of the democracy made an aggression upon the
North for their Presidential candidate; and the
Northern republicans, by way of striking a ba-
lance. have selected South Carolinian as their
champion. In fact upon the score of aggressons
the two sections and the two parties may well
agree TO drop the subject. The Northern organs
in the support OF Mr.. Buchanan bugies and penny
trumpets should take higher ground than South
ern threats of secession in the event of his de-
feat. We hold the South to Their Cincinnati
pledges to the constitution and the Union. In
the North, The Union pays too well to admit Of
the remotest idea Of its dissolution

FREMoNT's REIJGIoH.-The most contemplate
of the sheets which disgrace New York has
opened the campaign on behalf of its candidate
by asserting that Fremont is a Catholic. This is
denied, doubtless with good reason But can
anything indicate meaner, more outrageously
pitiful spirit than an attempt to dsparage man
on this ground? Why did not the Fillmore organ
say he had been brought into the world by a
Papist midwifes Why not inquire whether or no
he deals with Romanist butcher Let the Fill
more man hurry to see his tailor, and ask how
Fremont's coat ia cut? Also, what he eats for
dinner? Whether he smokes? Whether he ever
crosses his legs or folds his arms? One should BE-

GEORGE LAW IN RETIREMENT" Live Oak
George Law" has retired for season to private
life. In splendid palace in Fifth avenue, with
all the accessories Of luxury, art and refinement
with picture by Powell in his parlor as large
as life, High Bridge, railroads, steamships and
all, and with bust little larger than life, he
thinks he can pass the next four years with some
thing of resignation. He likes the more open
and commanding situation of the White House
at Washington, but is resigned to give it up to
Fremont (f he can get there) till 1860. The
fact is also worth knowing that Live Oak
George" has not been idle all this time; but has
been. and continues to be, employing himself by
gaslight and daylight in the study of the old
masters, preparatory to his taking the field
in the next Presidential campaign. He
has been and is porting over histories heroes
and languages, and is making great progress as
student. Living subjects are his especial de-
light for he has no particular fancy for things
that are dead and laid on the shelf. A parcel of
old foges in February last, laid him on the shelf
at Philadelphia, but he soon showed them that
.two could play at that game" His friends
upon the nomination Of any other candidate,
should have nominated him on the spot but per-
haps the weather was too cold for that We
must make some allowance for the weather. And
SO there he is, in his palace on Fifthavenue, sixty
feet brown stone front. There, like ship in
dry dock, he may be thoroughly overhauled, and
with all the barnacles scraped off his sides, and
with all leakages and breakages repaired, he will
be ready, let us hope, in 1860, to put to sea, en-
gines putting, drums beating and colors flying.
Thus endeth the first lesson.

The report circulated in the columns Of the Courier add
Enquirer stating that Stephen Clark State Treasurer had
been suspended from his duties SUCH is incorrect and
unfounded. Yesterday, Governor Clark transmitted TO
tho Treasurer Lieutenant Governor Raymond's charges
and specifications upon which he demands the removal
OF the Treasurer They the most frivolous, trivial
and inconsiderable imaginable, having no reference
whatever to the Teasurers conduct with regard to the
public funds even member Of the Canal

matum is expected to morrow.
As there is law carrying out specifying any par
ticular act Of malfeasance and means provided by
which the Governor, the Lieut. Governor, or the uni
versa black republican party obtain the keys Of the
treasury, GUST the Treasurer, seems quite
doubtful whether they WILL under the circumstances and
