The English and Montgomery Fra

The English and Montgomery Fra
1t appears that Mr.. English's account of
his encounter with Montgomery was false
and unfair. He was treated by Mr. Mont
gomery as he deserved, and his manner of
reSeECIng sI0 IHst--s a----lIz---l
keeping with his previously well established
reputation. Mr.. Montgomery says: 81
~ have not spoken to English this ses-
sion, OF taken any notice of him when we
met, as we have occasionally. The reason
IS mat he made speech to the crowd who
serenaded him on the night of the passage of
his bill, Ia which he said he had associated
with me and other anti-Lecompton Demo-.
Gratis only to find out our plans and defeat
u.s. From that time have looked upon him
as treachereus spy, and an unfit associate
for gentlemen. About noon, to-day, | was
walking down Pennsylvania avenue when
saw English coming towards me holding out
his hand saying, how do you do, Mr.. Mont
gomery? | made no answer, but passed
on, without any sign of recognition. had
walked few steps when | received from,
behind a very violent blow on the left side
of my head, given with such force as for q
moment TO stagger and confound me. had
not the least idea who or what had struck
me, but turning round l saw English with
large cane, which he held in both hands,
and from the position in which he stood and
the direction ofthe blow must have so held
when he struck me.
ale exclaimed, God damn you, Ill.
teach you to insult me in that way II.
He stepped backward quickly as he
spoke | rushed at him and as | was about
to close with him, he drew sword from q
cane and presented it at me. AS / had no
weapon of any kind I stepped off the side
walk and picked up piece of brick which
threw at him hitting him on the leg He
kept retreating and before l could find
another missile, had got to such distance
that it was useless to pursue him." & w
Two persons, VIM. Couch and Daniel
| Cox, witnessed the affair and confirm Mont
gomery's statement in every particular. .s,..
Montgomery went Immediately to mag
istrate and made a charge of assault against
English, who has been held to bail. Mont
gomerys face was badly bruised by the
blow which caused blood to flow profusely
He has kept his room since, and is attended
4 by a physician. Had the cane struck an
inch or two higher, SO as to hit his temple
instead OF us cneeh, he Wouiu, most prODa-
bly,, have been killed.
WAsHINGroN, Dec. 20.-The statement
sent on Saturday in relation to the personal
difficulty between English and Montgomery
was derived from persons protesting to have
a knowledge of the facts, but in the Inteti
geaeer of tuis morning, three other persons
give different versions of the affair, placing
English altogefher wholly in the wrong
The entire matter is to be Investigated be
fore the Criminal Court. On 81 ~ y = -

county throw aside their: business for
one day, and attend to putting our or
ganization in complete trim, and equip
it for efficient service, and Cass County
will support the following resolution,
set forth by the Detroit Advertiser, by
a rousing Republican majority in No.
vember next. The Advertiser says:
The Republican party of Michigan
now present the proud spectacle of a
united front and victorious party.
With this fact to strengthen our hopes
as we enter the campaign, we can rea-
sonably count on an addition to our
ranks, of from ten to twenty thousand
volunteers who have heretofore acted
with the bogus Democracy, but have
been forcibly driven from its ranks by
the fraud and blunders and criminal
policy of the President in relation to
Kansas. With this state of facts be-
fore us, we are going to set our stakes
,aoao, and move the following resolution
for the adoption of the people:
Resolved, That modern Democracy
shall be cleaned ont of the State of
Michigan in the year of our Lord A.
d. 1858, and that THE REPUBLICAN
TICKET SHALL BE ELECTED by THIR-
TY THOUSAND MAJORITY.

A train will also be run from the
east, and the two trains will meet about
three-fourths of mile west of Kalama-
zoo at the foot of Prospect Hill, where
a procession will be formed and marched
up to the grove, distance of about
eighty rods from the track. 1t is ex-
pected that each company will supply
themselves with eatables for the occa-
sion, which will be taken into the grove.
Let every lover of Sabbath Schools,
and every person interested in their
welfare and prosperity, who can make
it convenient, endeavor to turn out on
this occasion. Let every child that is
able to walk the distance from the rail
road to the hill be allowed the privilege
of going to Kalamazoo. If any are too
poor to afford the amount, let the more
able, those blessed with abundance,
contribute their mite that the children
may all be enabled to enjoy this ride,
and their interest in the Sabbath School
may thus be strengthened, We trust
there Will be a large number that will
attend from our county, and hope that
this Picnic may be the means of much
pleasure and profit.

Our President.

He entered the White House, saws
the Albany Ece'aing Journal, with a
promise of freedom to Kansas on his
lips, and scheme for enslaving it in
his pocket. He declared war against
Circulating Notes-and in six weeks
was issuing them himself. Before the
ink was dry with which he pledged
/" Economy he had drained the
Treasury of its last dollar. Before the
printers were done stereotyping his in
flexible determination never to borrow
he was in Wall street soliciting a
Loan
He congratulated the Country on the
final end of Slavery agitation-an he
has been agitating it ever since. He
ordered Paulding TO stop the Filibus-
ters-and then recalled him for doing
it. Walker of Nicaragua he pro-
nounced an outlaw-and rendered him
the hospitalities of the White House.
Walker of Kansas, he furnished with
written instructions and turned him out
for obeying them. In 1857 he took off
the heads of all Postmasters who could
not "hurrah for Popular Sovereignty"
In 1858, he takes off the heads of all
who repeat the cry of 1857. a.Q1I paa
g He withheld troops from Utah, where
he proclaimed there was WARM Or
der to keep them in Kansas, where he
insisted all was Peace. He sells Forts
at the West for 1.-THE of their cost, in
order to. buy sites for Forts at the East
at ten times their value-his subordi-
mates, in both cases, pocketing the diff
ference. He is continually asking for
new Steam Frigates,-but he will not
use those he has, either on the coast of
Africa or in the Gulf of Mexico. He
sends out a steamer, ostensibly to catch
the Styx-but with private orders in
the Captains desk, to do nothing of the
sort. Claiming to be the most frugal
of Presidents-he has spent more than
any of his predecessors. Assuming to
be above party prejudices, he makes
partisanship the basis even of his invi-
tations to dinner.

The Beauties Of slavery.

Mr.. Jefferson used this language,
ssThe whole commerce between Master
and Slave is perpetual exercise of the
most boisterous passions, and the most
unremitting despotism on the one part,
and degrading submission on the other.
Our children see this and learn to imi-
tate it. The parent storms, the child
looks on, catches the lineaments of
wrath, puts on the same airs in the cir
Gle of smaller slaves, gives loose to the
worst of passions those nursed, edu-
Gated and exercised in tyranny, can
not but be stamped by it with odious
peculiarities." ot.i,. -,
Judge Ruffin ofNorth Carolina says,
'sThe power of the master over the
slave must be absolute, to render the
submission of the slave perfect. This
discipline is inherent in relation of mas
ter and slave.'' 49, -5--s-
Chief Justice fancy says that the
African race and their descendants
have no rights in this country which
the whites are bound to respect.
Slaves can own no property all they
may acquire belongs in point of law to
their masters.
Slaves are bought and sold like other
property at the will of their master.
BY the laws of Louisiana and other
Southern states, all persons are prohib-
tied under severe penalties from teach
ing slaves to read. ~ .g-r
Are not these beauties, that commend
themselves to the warm hearts of the
sons of freedom. What a beautiful
commentary such privileges are upon
the declaration that all men are "free
and equal" And the beauties of this
state of things stand out in holder re-
lief before the rejecting mind, when
it is recollected that these doctrines arc
frequently exercised by sires, against
their own children.

PRINTING Done ON BOTH SIDES OF
THE SHEET.-Mr. Moses S. Beach pub
Usher of the New York San has made
an Improvement in Hoes best printing
press, by which the sheet, after being
printed on one side in the usual way,
is Immediately drawn back and printed
on the other side, from the second
form, which takes the place of the
balance-weight on the type drum. BY
this arrangement the sheet is drawn
back without checking or changing the
ordinary action on the part of the press,
and the amount of work done in the
same time is hereby doubled. An
/" Extra Sun" has been struck off as
an experimental sheet" and certainly
its appearance, says the New York
Post, indicates that Mr.. Beach's inven-
ton will prove success in every i'm
portant respect. This will prove OF
vast benefit to the profession. .ea

NEW YORK, June 26.- Tribune
Washington Correspondence. -Des-
patches were received here to-day, from
Col. Johnston, and also. letters from
civil officers at Fort Bridger. The
dates of the letters are to the 26th of
May. Latter present promising as
pect of affairs owing mainly to the pro-
ceedings which Judge Eckles, and the
U. S. Marshal had sought to institute
in defiance of the Governors policy.
Itwas believed that their efforts were
directed towards collision as the most
effectual means of subjugation. Brig
ham Young has assured Gov. Cum
ming that he was wiling to give him.
self up, if he could have reasonable
chance of justice.
The Gov. would return to Salt Lake
about the first of June, attended by
the other civil officers.
MIR. Forney, the Indian agent was to
accompany him, and open an Office
either there or at Provo. Ae1izs -
lie had been successful in his nego.
tiation with the several tribes of fndi-
ans, and reports favorable progress with
others.
Instructions have already been sent
from here to stop Eckles' course, and
additional orders will 60 by next mail.
