The Maim Trdkk in Baker—The Buinbrldgc
A gin, in speaking or tho Court held nt New
ton, Baker county, last week, says: “ lion. Al
fred II. Colquitt, the Commissioner of the At
lantic aud Gulf Railroad for Baker county, was
present, and u Railroad meeting held ou Mon
day, but no one subscribed anything; and up to
the time of our leaving on Wednesday night,
we were iufurmed nothing had been subscrib
ed."
Bi.oody Assai-i.t—About two o'clock yes-
terday, amonster named Andrew Keaton made
a bloody aud cowardly assault upon his wile,
os we are informed, witli n large {racket knife,
inflicting several dangerous wounds upon tier
person, probably disabling her left hand
for life. We understand that the wounds about
her head are even dangerous. A physician was
promptly on the spot, and dressed the wouuds.
The woman bears a respectable character,
whilst her hnsband is n drunkard. Ho made
tlie assault whilst under tiie influence of rum.
He was carried to the lock-up, and will he
brought before his Honor Mayor Anderson tills
morning for examination.
Tile Rev. Pardee Butler of Kansas.
We publish to-day a letter from Rev. Pardee
Butler, to the New York Tribune. Wo had a
few days ago to allude to tlie misrepresentation
which were made of us in Kansas,comparing the
correspondents ofcertalu papers of tlie North to
the celebrated German Baron of mendacious re
putation. Tho Rev. Pardee may with pro-,
priety be termed tho ‘Muncbamm Ecluiaitic'
of tho Tribune.
We have no doubt whatever that there are
thousands, ay! tens ol thousands nt the North,
who believe every word of such stuff. It might
safely be relied upon ns n rule injudgingofsuch
correspondents; 1st. That no such man as tho
Rev. Pardee Butler exists, 2d. That If ho does
live, he has no character, is not nu actual in-
habitant of tho Territory, oris tho actual pnid
agent of the Tribune ; 3d. That no such occur
rence over took place; or i f anything approach
ing it ever did, lie has not given such an account
as would Ira recognized hy any of tho parties
present at the time. Wo publish It because it is
rather amusing than otherwise.

Savannah—The Pride of Georgia*
At a public meeting of the citizons of Sav
annah, on the 14th instant, the following reso
lution, on motion of Wm. B. Hodgson, Esq. ,
was adopted :
Resolved, That tho Mayor and Aldermen are
hereby instructed to subscribe two hundred
thousand dollars to tho Atlantic ft Gulf Railroad
aa soon as they are assured that the sum of fouv
hundred thousand dollars has been subscribed,
ttorn fide to said road by other parties.
Thus It will be seen that, without the slightest
difficulty, this noble and patriotic old city has
put her hand to tho paper, In behalf of Southern
Georgia, and, Io, two hundred thousand dollars
is legibly and Indclllbly written.
\vc know the old lady is rich, and able to
assist those who look to her for aid ; yet, rich
as she Is, her heart is fully as large as \icr purse,
aud if the truth was known, it would bo found
to bo a good deal larger. Wo would likewise
remark, that notwithstanding her remarkable
age, her eve has lost none of tlie fire, her spirit
none of the energy, enterprise and patriotism
they possessed in the days of her girlhood,
when the revored Oglethorpe pressed tlie trem
bling maiden to his heart. And though beauti
ful lu youth, aud claiming many admirers, she
is more beautful and attractive in oldugc.uud
her admirers embrace, almost, the entiru popu
lation of the Empire State of the South.

We also learn that Oupt. F. A. Hoy-
kind, of Merriwelhor county, has raised u

Indian Delegation.—A delegation of
five Seminoles and seven Creek Indians,
from the Indian territory west of Arkan
sas, are in Washington. The business of
tin; former relates chiefly to an attempt
to obtain a separate tribal organization,
being now attached to the Grcefc Nation.
—They will also probably assist in con
certing measures to bring about, if pos
sible, the peaceuble removal West of their
brethren in Florida.

POLITICAL NEWS AND VIEWS.
Fremont* chances for tlie Black Republican-
Presidential nomination, to use a favorite quo

The recently published eorresnomlcncc tie-*

him to display himself just now antagonistic to

A gathering of •' Old Line Wldgs” was held
at Memphis last Saturday night. On taking tlie
cludr Leroy Pope, Esq., delivered an eloquent
speech commencing ns follows:
We have met. here to-night to counsel and
console each other in the midst, of our troubles,
as political shiners. We have come to see aud
and to inquire if tlie little remnant of the good
old Whig party, hi ami about Memphis, is so
broken, ami disheartened, and disbanded, aa to
tlud “ uouo so pour as to do them reverence.”
Of that glorious phalanx were there but three
hundred, nay, were there but three, I should be
proud to ho recognized as one of that three, and
•hould hold myself ever ready to tread tho pass-
of a new Thermopyhu in Uefeuse of its time
honored Hag. I stand by the memory of the hal
lowed dead.
•Sufficient unto me are the genius, the wisdom,
the eloquence, the patriotism and tho glory of
the Past! 1 feel a living spirit here that tells
me tliat there Is still something within ditrerent
from all tliat I seo around me. Deserted, but
not annihilated, our little bund seems to be
standing on tho shore of the wide ocean of Am
erican freedom, and there watching the tem
pestuous play of the waves, as they are driv
en to ana fro by tlie breath of contending fac
tions. Far aloof from the radicalism of one
party, the fanaticism of unother, and the dis-
socializing proscription of a third, we have
kept our faith and our allegiance nn.scduced.un-
contaminated and undisturbed by the mad ele
ments of strife ami commotion around us.
As regards tlie coming contest, Mr. Pope
said:
In tho approaching Presidential Cauvass, with
open aud magnanimous confidence, let us go
with that party, by whatever name It maybe
called, which holds out to us the strongest as
surances of safety to the South, and of security
to tho Union—reserving to ourselves the pri
vilege of returning to our ancient faith when
ever it cun be made effectual in the political
organizations of the dny, or in the councils of
the nation. Whatever temporary alliances we
may form, let us continue truo to ourselves; aud,
whenever and wherever we can, let us hold on
to Whig instincts, Whig sympathies, nnd Whig
principles.
The following was among the resolutions
passed:
Resolved, Tlmttho Chairman of this meeting
appoint fifteen delegates to the Whig Conven
tion to he held at Louisville on tho fourth of Ju
ly next, and that our Whig brethren, through
out the State, are requested iu their primary
meetings to appoint delegates to tlie same.
OLD LINK WHIGS OK FLORIDA.
A meeting of tlie old line Whigs of Middly
Florida, was held lu Tallahassee lust Saturday,
of which Col. Robert Cambio was President,

Secretaries. George T. Ward, Esq. was a prom,
inent actor on the occasion. A Committee con
sisting of himself, Wilkinson Call, J. J. Barnes,
Junius L. Taylor and Jacob Storinan, reported
strongly in behalf of tho rights of tho South,
expressing at the same time their uushakou de

That we cheerfully accept the nomination

The New Outrage on the Rev. Pardee
flatter, Described by Himself.
Lawkknck, Wednesday, May 7,1850.
One year ago 1 came to Kant** and bought a
claim ou Sugar Creeks Atchison comity.
On the loth of August the Border Ruffians of
the town of Atchlaon aent me down the MIsbou-
ri River on a ralt , . , . .
We parted under a mutual pledge—I, that if
my life waaspared,! would come back to Atch-
laou: and they, that If I did come hack, they
would hang me.
Faithful to my promise, in November but 1
returned to Kansan with my Ikmlly; visited
Atchison In opeu day, announced myself on
hand, and returned without molestation. .
Kansas being yet aparcely settled, and having
few meeting housoa li was determined that Mrs.
Butler should live on our clalma with her broth
er’s wife, while I should return to Illinois aud
resume my lubora as a preacher. 1 have been
for a number of years iu the employ of church
es iu tho comities of Brown and Adams, Illinois,
a majority of whose memlier were, I suppose,
horn aud raised lu Kcutucky.
April tillth I returned to Kausas aud crossed
the Missouri at Atchisou. 1 spoke to no one in
town, suvo with two merchants of tho place,
with whom I lmd business transactions siucc
my llrst arrival In tho Territory. Having re
mained only a few minutes, I went to my bug-
ry to resume my journey, when 1 was assaulted
jy Robert 8. Kelly, Junior editor of the 8qnat-
ter Sovereign, anu others, wus dragged into a
roccry, and there surrounded by a company of
_>oiitli Carolinians, who are reported to have
been sent out by a Southern Emigration-Aid
Society.
In this last mob, I noticed only two were citi
zens of Atchisou or engaged in tho former
mob.
It is reported that these emigrants from the
Palmetto State seek out a claim and make for
themselves a home; neither do they enter into
any legitmato business. They very expressive
ly descrllai themselves as having “come out to
see Kansas through#?.
They yelled-“Kill him!” “Kill him!” “Hang
the d-d Abolitionist!”
One of their number hustled up to mo nnd
demanded—
“Huvo you a revolver H
l replied—“No.”
Uelutndcdmna pistol, saying, “There,take
thatjuid stand oil' ten steps, uud G—d—11 you ’
will blow you through In an Instant!”
1 replied, “ 1 have 110 use for your weapon.”
1 aftcrvvurds heard them congratulating them
selves in reference to this—that they had lieeu
honorable with me. The fellow was furious;
but his tomimnlons dissuaded him from shoot
ing me. Ruylug they were golug to luing me.
If I can picture to myself the look of a Cuban
bloodhound, just ready with opeu jaws to seize
a puntiug slave iu a Florida swamp, then 1 im
agine wo have a correct daguerreotypo of the
expression worn hy these emigrant representa
tives of the manly scutimeut, high-toned cour
age nnd magnanimous feelings of the South
Carolina chivalry when lirst they scented—in
their own imagination—tho blood of a live
“Abolitionist.”
‘‘Hang him!” thoy yelled; “hang him, hang
thdd—d Abolitionist!”
Thoy pinioned my arms behind me, obtained
a rope, but were interrupted by tho entrance of
a stranger, u gentleman from Missouri, since as
certained to be Gen. Tut, a lawyer, of Buchan
an county. He said:
“ My friends hear me. I am an old man, and
it Is right you should hear me. 1 was born in
Virginia, ami have lived many years in Missou
ri. 1 am a slaveholder, and desire Kansas to he
made u slave State, if it can bo done by honor
able means. But you will destroy the cause you
ure seeking to build up. You have tukcu this
man, wlio was passing through your streets and
along the highway, doing no person auy harm.
We profess to be law aud order men, and should
l>e tne last to commit violence. If this man has
violated tlie law, let him be punished according
to law; hut for the sake of Missouri—for the
sake of Kansas—for the sake of the Pro-Slave
ry eauso, do not act in this way.”
They dragged me into another grocery aud
appointed a moderator. Kelly told his story.
1 rose to my feet, uud calmly, and iu respect
ful language, began to tell miue. I was repeat
edly jerked to my seat, and so roughly handled
that 1 was compelled to desist,
My trleud tW>m Missouri again earnestly be
sought them to set me at liherty.
Kelly turned short ou him and said, “Do you
belong to Knnsas V”
He replied, “No; but I expect to live here iu
Atchison next fall; and in thia matter the in
terests of Missouri uud Kansas are identical.”
Mr. Lamb, a Lawyer in Atchison, and Mr. Dix
on, a merchant of the same place, both pro
slavery men, also united with Gen. Tut in plead
ing that I might be set at liberty.
While these gentlemen were thus speaking, I
heard my keepers mutter—“D—n you, If you
don’t hush up, we’ll tar aud feather you!”
When Kelly saw how maters stood, he came
forward und said—“He did uot take Butler to
have him hanged, only tarred and feathered.”
Yet in the other grocery they had said to the
mob “ they should do us they pleased i ” He
dared not take the responsibility of taking my
life; but when these unfortunate men, whose
one-idea-ism on the su Id ect o f slavery and South
ern rights has become Insanity—when these ir
responsible South Carolinians, sent out to be
bull dogs uud blood houndB for Atchison and
Stringfellow—when they could be used as tools
to take my life he waa ready to do it
Our gunpowder moderator cut the discussiou
short, by saying, “ It is moved that Butler be
tarred aud feathered, aud receive thirty-nine
lushes.”
A majority said “Aye,” though a number of
voices said “No.” The moderator said, “ the af
firmative has it.”
I began to speculate how that sort of thing
would work os far uortli us the latitude of Kau
nas. There was a good deal of whispering
about tho house. I saw durk, ominous and
threatening looks in the crowd.
The moderator again cainc forward, and, in
an altered voice, said:
“// is moved that the last part of the. sentence
be rescinded
It was rescinded,
1 was given into tho hands of my South Caro
lina overseers to be tarred and feathered. They
muttered and growled at this issue of tlie mat
ter, “IJey , said there, “if wo lmd known it
“would Imvoicome out in this wuy, we would
have let shoot Butler at the lirst. He
would have done it quicker than a flash.”
One little shurp-vlsaged, dark-featured, black-
oyed South Carolinian, as smart as a cricket,
who seemed to be tlie leader of the gang, wus
particularly displeased. “D—n you/’ said lie,
“ if 1 came all the way from South Caroliuuaud
spent so much money to do things up in such
milk and water stylo as this.”
They stripped me naked to the waist, cover
ed my body with tar, and then, lor the want of
feathers, applied cotton wool. Having appoint
ed n Committee of throe to certuinly hang me
tlie next time I should come to Atchison, they
teased my clothes into my buggy, put me there
in. accompanied me to the suburbs of the town,
ami sent me nuked out upon tlie prairie.
1 adjusted my attire about me as best 1 could,
and hastened to rejoin my wife and two liitle
ones on the banks of the Stranger Creek. It
was rather a sorrowful meeting utter so long a
parting. Still, wewero vory thankful that, un
der the blessing ol a good Providence, it lmd
fared uo worse with us all.
Tim lirst mob that wnt me down the Mis
souri River on a rail—always excepting Robert
S. Kelly—wero courteous gentlemen,compared
with this last one. When 1 was towed out into
tlie middle ot Hie stream I do not remcmlier to
huvo heard a word spoken hy tlie iuuii ou the
shore. This last mob, when they lull me eu tlie
border of tho town, shrieked ami yelled like a
pack of New Zealand caiuiilmls. The tirst mob
did not attempt to abridge my right of speech.
111 reply to all the hard and bitter things they
said against me, they patiently heard mo to the
end. But these men who have come to intro
duce into Kansas tliat order of things that now
exists in South Carolina, savagely gagged me
into silcnco by rapping my face, ehoaking 1110,
pulling my beard, jerking me violently to uiy
seat, ami exclaiming, “D—n you, hold your
tongue 1” A11 this was done while my arms were
pinioned In-hind me t
Many will ask now, as they Iiavo asked al
‘ready, wlmt Is the true uml proper causo of all
these troubles which I have had lit Atchison. I
huvo told tho world already, and I can only re-
mat my own words. 1 have said: “Tho very
head and front of iny oll'ending hath this ox-
tent, no more.” I lmd spoken among my neigh
bor* 1'avomblo for making Kansas a Freo Stute.
It is true that Kelly, by uu afterthought, has
two new counts to his bill of Indictment agaiust
tne. The lirst is that I went to the town of
Atchisou last August, talking Abolitionism. 1
imvo not tlie honor of bolng an Abolitionist
And second, that I spoke, somehow or other im
properly in the presence of slaves. All this is
not only utterly (also, hut the charges are ox-
post facto ; Tor uot a word was said of thia the
day they put rue on tho raft
The New York Tribune publishes me os a
Methodist preacher that was put on a raft for
preaching abolitionism. I am a member of tho
denomination known u* Disciples (Campbell-
Ues), uud have uever alluded to the subject of
slavery In my preaching. I published a narra
tive ot tho whole uflUlr In the Missouri Demo
crat, not one word of which ha* ever been de
nied, to the best of my knowledge, except this:
I sold 1 had heard that Kelly waa born in Mas
sachusetts. He nya he waa not bora there;
that he wo* bora in Virginia* Robert S. Kelly,
, uiiior editor of the Squatter Sovereign, aud
toverament Printer, shall, be bora Jon where
he pleaaea.
Still It will be regarded aa myateriOhi and in
credible that a man should receive such treat
ment for uttering such words aa I report myself
to have uttered. The matter la clear enough
when the foots are understood that I will ex
plain.
Prior to August 10,1855, there waa, proper
ly speaking, no Free-State party organized in
Atchlaon County, perhapanot the whole Terri
tory or Kanina. Free voters did not know their
own strength, and all were disposed to bo pru
dent—some were timid. Hero In Atchison
County we wero determined that if tho Border
Ruffians wero resolved to drive matters to u
bloody issue, the responsibility of doing so
should rest wholly with themselves. There are
many Free-Soilera in this County; brave men,
who have no scruples to hinder them from urm-
iug themselves and preparing to ropel force by
force: The Border Ruffians sought, by a sys
tem of terroism so to intimidate Frec-Sollera us
to prevent them from organizing a Free-State
Party, or even discuss.ug the sulject of Slavery
and Freedom in Kansas. They carried this to
such an extent of outrageous violence that ii
came to be currently reported that it was nu
much as a man’s life was worth in the towu of
Atchison to say: “I am a Free Boiler.”
We deprecated violence uud wished a peace
ful discussion of the subject. It was therefore
moat lilting that a man whose profession for
bade him to go urmetl should put to the test of
actual experiment whether un Aincrcan citizens
of blameless life could permitted to enjoy the
the right ot free speech—the privilege of ex
pressing views favorable to making Kansas u
Free State—such views being uttered without
anything of aiigry.ubusiveor insulting language.
It was for tills purpose tlie above words were
spokeu, uud which lias been the cause of all
niy troubles in Atchison.
if the llorder Ruffians had permitted mo to
depart in peace they would have been without
tho shadow of an excuse to mitigate its atrocity.
Bat, whatever might have lieen the result, I
had counted the cost and was prepared to abide
the Ihsuc.
If there ho any class of men tliat stand be
hind tlie curtain and pull the wires, we would
respectfully recommend to them that it will do
no good to urge these underst rappers on to
these deeds ol' violence aud ruffianism. We are
not of a class of men to utter childish com
plaints at any wrongs we may sutler, but we
know our rights, und we intend to have them.
lu conclusion, wo would suggest to Smith
Carolina that she had better send for her emi
grants home again. They will do her cause
more harm than good. However tills way ot
doing work may do among the Held hands of u
rice plantation, it won’t do here at ull. We, iu
Knnsas, are not liiadu of metal to lie worked in
such a tire. Respectfully,

On Friday, the 7th of April, were consigned
to their linal resting place, in the church-yard

“Old Tlireeliips” in the neighborhood, hut his

isolated house called “Worlds,” (probably an
abbreviation of “World’s End,”) not fur from
Uraitlnvuitc, in the parish of Keighley. He
was the sou of a small funner, bom A. I>. 1777,
and from an early age showed little predisposi
tion for steady work. When thirty vearsot uge
he took to his bed aud the room, which he uev
er left till curried thence ou the day of his fu
neral.
The cause of this extraordinary conduct is
believed to have been a matrimoniul disappolut-
meut: his wedding day was fixed; accompa
nied by a friend be weuded his way down to the
parish church, and there patiently awaited the
arrival of his bride elect; but she uever came;
her father haviug sternly and steadily refused
his consent. Henceforth the young man con
signed himself to a small room, nine feet squure,
with the determination of spending tho remain
der of bia existence between the blankets—
which resolution he kept most unflinchingly.
jjitAt the time of Sharpe’s death, the window
of hia room had^uever been opened for thirty-
eight years. Jn this dreary abode did this
stranger being Immure himself. He constantly
refused to speak to any one, aud, if spoken to,
never answered; even to those who wero his
constant attendants. His father, by his will,
made provision for the temporal wauto of his
eccentric son, and so secured him a constant at
tendant. During the whole period of this self-
imposed contlneraent, he never had any serious
Illness, the only case of indlsposltiou, those
about him can remember, being a slight loss of
appetite for two or three days, caused apparent
ly by indigestion, aud this notwithstanding, he
ate on the average, as much us any farm labor
er.
Though arrived at the age of seventy-nine
years his flesh'was firm, fair, and unwriukled,
save with fat, and his weight was estimated at
about two hundred and forty pounds. The
curious used to come from far and wide to see
him, but whenever a stranger was ushered into
his deu he immediately buried his head beneath
the bed clothes. About a week before his death
his appetite began to fail, aud his limbs became
partiullv benumed, so thut be could not take
his food in his accustomed mauuer. From this
uttack he seemed to rally, and not until the
evening before his dentil wero any apprehen
sions entertained that the attack wonld be fatal.
However, during the night of Sunday, April 2,
he boenme rapidly worse, nnd died nt four the
following morning. Shortly before ho expired
he was heard to exclaim: “ Door Bill—Poor
Bill--Poor Bill Sharpe!” Uie most connected
sGutenco he hud hecu kuown to utter for many
a year.

Gentlemen,—1 have, iu compliance with your re
quest, examined the volumes now In the course ol
publication, entitled “ Report* of Decisions iu the Su
preme Court of the Uulted Stutes ’’ hy Mr. Justico
Curtis, aud petcclve.thut tne work possesses pecu
liar qualities, u* follows:—
1. In the preservation of whatever 1* of primary
importance iu tho previous reports of the same de
cisions, with greut saving of hulk and expense by
the ommUslon ofsecoudury matter, such a* editorial
statements of the facts lu the cuse und arguments of
couusol, where these aro not csscutial to the under
standing or elucidation of tho decisions themselves.
2. In the careful re visa l of each case; in tho sense
or editorial ncourocy, aud the consequent correction
of such errors of editorship or impression os existed
in the previous ro|>orts.
8. Iu tlio addition to each case or reference by toot
uote to other decisions of the series iu wbluu tbc
same is mentioned.
4. In the recomposition ortho editorial statements
of the case*, uot merely in the sense or reaction or
ot abridgement, bat xtlil morn in that of essential
Improvement or tho mutter itself by means of infor
mation derived from theoriglual records aud tiles of
the court.
6. lu the recomposition of the head notes on a
theory of Juridical oxposit'on*, so that the syllabus
of each cuse exhibits wbut is really adjudged iu it as
law, aud that alone, passing over d>i(n dutu and
mure Judicial argument.
0. Tho Digest promised will supply a want which
is very sonslbly felt by all who have occasion to
consult tho Decisions ol the Supreme Court, the ex
isting digests thereof bolng cither antiquated or de
fective in plau aud execution.
1 think these aro siguai advantages of the preacut
work, servtug not only to reuder more accessible to
the lugul profession generally, but also mure availa

BY LAST NIGHT’S MAIL.
Mr. Sumnrr’a Speec h «n7t «iie IUi n „ rlt ' 1
upon It.
We publish below the remarks of Me.isi-.
Cass, Douglas and Mason upon this remarkable*
speech. We have rend the remarks of Mr. Sum-
nor upon the Hon. A. P. Butter, of South Caro.
Una. They aro perhaps ns personal mid oliensive
os they could well »>o, charging him with fate-,
hood und a few other trifles of t|mt kind. Hi*
attack on Mr. Mason, of Virginia, one of the
moat worthy and excellent of men, is tlie nio.-,t
disgusting production of the age. Mr. Butler
was absent from Washington at the time
which accounts for the act of Mr. Brooks. The
whole speech may he found in the two last num
hers of the New York Tribune.
Mr. Cass said he had listened to Mr. Sumner’s
speech with equal regret und surprise. It was
the most un-American and unpatriotic speech
lie ever heard ou this floor. He hoped he might
never hear such a speech again, here;or else
where. Ho did not rise, however, to rauke com-
meats on that speech, open as it was to censure
and disapprobation, hut to soy thut the Senator
from Massachusetts hud totally tnisunder.-tooi]
and misapplied the case of Michigan. Tlie Tr>
S ijka Convention showed no unalogy between
le proceedings in Michigan And those in K uu .
Sits.
Mr. Douglas adverted to the malignity which
characterized Mr. Sumner’s speech,& the many
personalities in which it abounded, lie compar
ed it to a patchwork licdquilt, made up from ail
the old calico dresses in the hourejuid ahoimdii t'
hi classical allusion*, most of which were Irani
portions of the clasnics which were suppress ,i
iu respectable and decent college*. That speedi
was written ami committed to memory •. jam-,
tieed before a glass, a negro boy holding a
candle and watching the gestures, It was re
hearsed to friend*, uud they repeated lu
loons of tlio city wlmt lie wn* going to my.
Those libel* aud insults, so gross and vulgar,
had been conned over and written with coot ui.d
deliberate miilignity, and repeated night alter
night in order to find tlie appropriate grace
with which to spit them ut men who differ'‘with
him. Wlmt right had he to arraign tlure-
fourth* of the Senate for dereliction of duty?
Did the menus bv which ho got lit re give him tlie
superiority? Mr. Douglas said lie had Is-eii ar
raigned a* a conspirator uml u traitor by a man
(Sumner) himself guilty of crime, having taken
tho oath to support tho Constitution and tin n
violuted it. Alluding to Mr. Sumner’s attack
on Senator Butler, who was now absent, Mr.
Douglas said Mr. Sinn nor would on Ids return
whisper a secret apology iu his ear, and want
him to accept tliat as a proper satisfaction, lie
(Douglas) knew liow that was done. (Laugh,
ter.) He then defended Mr. Atchison from the
charge of acting the part of Catiline.
Mr. Mason said—Political relation*, in obedi-
eucotothe forms of our Government, bring
Scuatorsinto associations which, beyond the
wall* of the Senate chamber, are diriwnor, and
touching whose hand would be pollution. They
were compelled to listen to language here fe
which no gentleman would lend an ear else
where. They bear it in obedience to the Con
stitution uud the trust which they have under
taken to perform. He (Mr. Mason) defended
Atchison, whom he was proud to call his fiend
und said that when Mr. Sumner du red, in tlie pi e-
sence of tlio Senate, to connect Judge Butin’s
name with an untruth, he presented 'himself ns
one utterly Incapable of knowing what trtilli i*.
In conclusion he accused Mr. Sumner of falsifi
cation with regard to his (Mason’s) rentalk--
concerning Southern institutions.
