Immediatelyso on tho appearances Of the first

The Last.
N. Y. Tribune,

Yet another disgraceful outrage has
been ,perpetrated at Washington. Or,
las perhaps the admirers of Preston S.
Brooks will say.) another Southern Rep
resentative has displayed his chivalry i'm
the vindcation of the honor of his. po-
titical mother. A Southern constituent
cy may again be called upon 10 vote gold
headed canes to the aathor of SO gallant
an act. This time i, was an old man.
Mr.. Granger. of New York. whom ehiv
alrous Virginian. Mr.. McMullen, under.
took to beat. Both parties. according to
The telegraphic accounts. were riding in
ar omnibus, and. while there, commenc
ed conversing on political topics. Mr..
McMul!en boosted, after the manner OF
sectionalists, that the South would not
submit to Col. Fremonfs election il that
event should take place Mr.. Gra niger
replied that they would be made to sub
init. Tothis expression of opinion the
Vlrginisn responded by blows. Even
the gray hairs OF his opponent were no
protection to him. Ii is impossible to
say to what extent the excited feelings of
Mr.. McMullen might have led him in his
onslaught. He was happily checked by
the interferencs of the passengers after
ne had struck Mr.. Granger twice end
considerably bruised his face. The out
rage is worthy of being placed in the
same record with the murders and as
saulis that have so lately preceded it,
They will all make bright ca atalogus by
which the existence of the late session
of Congress will be chiefly recognized
and rene bered hereafter. Bah. The
people are disgusted with such scenes,
and will endure them no longer. There
will be q change soon. And it is time
that there should be one.

Major BufOrd.

1t appears from the st. Louis Ncurs
that the gallant commander of Southern
chivalry. who was in at the sacking of
Lawrence. has not succeeded very well
in Kansas. He has gone home disgusted.
Kansas does not pay. Conquering the
Territory is. after all. costly business.
The slave power will find, perhaps that
freedom is not to be put down withou.
some sacrifice, oome cost, some losses
and defeats.
The Ne1cS has the following in regard
to the disappointed Major:
"This gentleman sold his plantation in
Alabama, and invested the proceeds. a
mounting to something like $4,000. i'll
the glorious but unpNying business OF
making Kansas Slave Stale. He col
lected a company of nearly three hun
died men, whose expenses to the Terrific
ny he paid, having first entered into a
written agreement with each member,
individually by the terms of which. his
men, were to pre-empi claim Of land
in Kansas, and mortgage it to their COM
mander, to secure the money he advanc-
ed to them. All promised well. and
Major Buford fattered himself with the
prospect that his Alabama plantation
would be the means of securing to him
hundred or more Kansas farms, worth
a dozen times as much as the one he par
ted with. But he sooR found that going
to distant Territories to maintain the
rights of the South, is not just what i
seems to be. Major Buford passed
through this city. not long ago on hi'
way 10 Alaba ma. and il is said that he j.
so disgusted with the Kansas business
that he will have nothing more to d
with it. He tried TO get his men to set
lie on pre-emption claims and becom,
steady citizens. so as to secure him TO
the sums of money he had paid out t,
I them. But the men could not be Undue
ed to do it. They preferred rowing owe
the country in organized bands. depend
ing upon their TOO hospitable friends il
Kansas and Missouri for the means o
support. These friends are becomin
tired of them and 10 doubt desire thei
departure. They have done nothing 70
themselves. nothing for their command
er, and nothing for the cause of the Sout

Mr. Buchanan,s opposition 10 Foreigners.


Had the following sentiments been
uttered by Mr.. Buchanan within the last
two years. he might have been put down
as very good Know Nothing: W
1.-THE greater part of those Foreigners
who would be affected by i, have long
been the warmest friends of tho Demo
ctstic party. They have been one Of the
great means Of elevating the present rul-
ing party, and it would have been migrate
ful for that party to have abandoned Them.
To secure this FOREIGN FEELING
HAS BEEN THE LABOR OF THEIR
LEADERS (the De mocratic) FOR MORE
THAN TWENTY YEARS, and we'll have
they been paid for their trouble, for it
has been one of the principal causes Of
Introducing and continuing them in

foreign influence had completely embodied
itself with The majority, particularly at
the West. and its voice was heard so
loud at the csas of Government that
President Madison was obliged to yield

The NlaYe Trade.

We have over and over ogain called
public attention TO the fact that the
Slave Trade, in spite of all the laws
against it. is actively and constantly car
ried on from the ports Of New York and
Baltimore. No one familiar with The
details of tho shipping business in this
City is ignorant of it. The recent reve-
lalions in our Courts of law place it be-
yond controversy. Scores of vessels
fitted out here ostensibly for some of the
obscure ports of Cuba or South America,
start for the coast of Africa, take in car.
goes OF slaves. and, in spite OF laws, cru
isers. and Government officials, land them
in Cuba, where the market is always
open. The extraordinary precautions
which the hazards Of the voyage render
necessary. increase incalcula bly, the suf
ferings of the poor wretches who are
thus brought over. But uvarice blinds
men TO ali thoughts Of human;ty, and
men can always be found here in New
York ready 10 furnish the capital Tor
such adventures, and to load their souls
with the awful responsibility for such
agonies and murders, in consideration Of
the profits ;hey hope to reap!
While the great aim and object Of our
Cove rnment is to extend Slavery into
Kansae, and make it permanent and par
amount in the offi.irs OF this Republic,
ii would be folly to hope for any atten-
tion in that quarter to this great and
growing infamy. 1t has been proposed
already in the Senate of the United States,
to repeal the laws against the Slave
Trade,-to get rid of these restrictions
upon the extension of Slavery. just as
those which kept il out of Kansas were
got rid of by the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, When the Slavery oligar-
chy feels strong enough, this measure
will undoubtedly be pushed TO consum-
nation: and meantime the Governme n
will wink at the evosions Of the law,
and make no effort to strike at the root
OF The evil itself. The London Times
in an article. says that no hope of its
cessation can be entertained SD long as
Cuha continues To afforl n slave market
I We believe this 10 be irue:-snd We be
lieve that it is, therefore. the dufy ol

The other nations Of the civilized world
Ito make such steps rs shal. close tha!
market effectually and forever.

his eyes fixed steadily upon the ground

gold and silver. But all these years,

not that the heavens were bright above
him, and nature beautiful around. He

a French author finding his reputa-

get fame and money: He dressed him.
self in workmanlike attic, and repair
ed 10 a distant province, where he took
lodgings at farrier's shop, in which he
did little work every day at the forge
and anvil. But the greater part of his
time was secretly devoted TO the compo-
siIion of three large volumes of poetry
and essays. which he published as the
works of Joumeyman Blacksmith
The trick succeeded--all France was in
amazement, the poems of this "child of
nature" this ''uniutored genius" this
"inspired son of Vulcan" as he was now
called, were Immediately praised by the
critics, and were soon purchased by eve
rybody. The harmless deceit filled the
pockets of the poor poet, who laughed to
see the critics writing incessant praise
on On author whose every former effort

Fall Of The Charter Oak.
Hartford, Conn, A

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 2I,
The Charter Oak fel. this morning at q
quarter before o'clock, with tremen-
dous crash, and but six feet of the stump
now remains. This famous tree was far
past its prime when the Charter was
concealed in 4 on the 9th of May, 1859,
and was probably an old tree when Col.
umbus discovered the New World. 1t
stood upon the old Wyllis Estaie.--
Crowds of citizens are visiting the ru-
ins. and each one bears away portion
of the venerable tree.
