( Whatever may be the merits OF the case Of

tatlon and rank ipsincerity in much OF the
erlticism oi the matter. The Democracy OF

Brooks Tor his notorious attempt at assassina

Nebraska bill, by opposing the Lecompion
constitution and breaking with the Buchanan
administration in consequence of his stub

OF right, he was removed from the chairman

case is not exactly parallel with Summers, be.
cause while the thing in reference to which
the latter opposes the administration is NOR

PRESIDENT Buchanan and his supporters on a
question the moral aspect of which was its
most salient feature. He placed himself at
the head of those who had determined never
to consent to the commission of one of the
grossest outrages ever perpetrated in civil
l'zcd country. 1t was question of right and
wong. But the Democratic PRESS OF the
country approved the act, holding that the
position OF chairman OF committee then of
great Importance should be given TO some cen
tleman in whom the President had conf
dence. Now, though it is expressly denied by
the administration party that Nj. Sumner
was removed on account of his opposition to
the annexation of San Domingo and though
it is also denied that the President has ex-
erted his personal influence to secur, bis re-
moval, the Democratic press is suddenly pen

has placed the Democracy OF the United
