The Union criticises the proceedings of the recent Philadelphia Republican party Con- vention, to show that it was a mere sectional gathering. The same paper reviews the speech of Gen. Watson Webb delivered in that con- vention, and maintains that it was full of trea- sonable declarations. In reply to a paragraph in the Richmond Whog, arguing that Col. Benton’s support of Mr. Buchanan should make the South sus- picious of the latter, the Unton argues that the Colonel’s favor for Mr. B. is a false pre- tence, designed only to draw off votes from the Democratic electoral ticket in Missouri toa bogus Buchanan ticket, so that the Democratic nominees may fail to receive the vote of that State. The Intelligencer says of Mr. Buchanan’s letter of acceptance of the Cincinnati nom- ination : “‘We remember nothing from Mr. Buc- hanan’s pen which has seemed to us conceived in terms more mi Big sere to the occasion or more worthy of the rank he occupies among our living statesmen. It was of course to be expected that, in formally accepting the nom- ination made in Cincinnati, he should also formally endorse the ‘‘platform’’ erected s0 hastily, and as we think, unwisely, by the ) ayn architects of the Democratic party n Convention assembled. = = * ‘* We may say, however, that Mr. Buchan- an’s official letter of acceptance, while not expressly repudiating the extreme and excep- tionable doctrines foisted into the Democratic confession of faith by the Cincinnati Conven- tion, does yet, by its spirit and tenor, incline us to hope that he means, if elected, so to construe those doctrines as to disarm thi of their mischievous signifieance and evil ten dency. Indeed we can give no other meanin than this to Mr. Buchanan’s declaration when he says that he accepts the “ resolutions con- stituting the platform of principles erected by the Convention” in tho same spirit as that which prompts his acceptance of the nomina- tion tendered to him by his party, namely, a desire so to discharge the duties of the high office to which he aspires as ‘ to allay domes- tic strife, preserve peace and friendship with Soreign nations, and promote the best inte- rests of the Republic.’ These wo know may seem to the eensorious nothing more than Vague generalities ; but we trust that the con versatism and prudence resulting, it may be Boped from Mr. Buchanan's age and experi- ence, will give to them a scope and an appli- cation which shall restrict within onds the ‘ lawless spirit’ which seems unb. Pppily to be but too rife in certain classes of our coun- trymen, and to which, in an unfortunate episode of his late diplomatic career, Mr. uchanan himself seems to have furnished some countenance and sympathy.” * # oe PERSONAL. +++e Gov.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. | The Brooks and Sumner A ffair—‘‘Shriek for Freedom.”’—A point in the testimony ta- ken before the House committee in the Brooks 4 and Sumner affair, which embraces the gist of the case so far as its medical treatment, &c., is concerned, seems to have been over- looked. It will be remembered that a Dr. Perry was sent on, or came on, post haste from Bos- ton, to look after the patient. The newspa- pers of that city having announced his de- partare for Washington with a flourish of trumpets. This professional gentleman was examined as to the propriety of Dr. Boyle’s treatment of the case. We extract from the committee’s report of his examination as fol- lows: Question. State whether you regard the treatment of his physician as proper’? (Mr. Campbell here stated that he asked this question at Dr. Boyle’s request | Answer. I have not seen any thing that was not petals ee I think the fever now is the result of local inflammation. The collodion closed over the wound, and nt ed any discharge of pus. I have seen nothing if which I do not — perfectly pro- fessional. I had not seen Dr. Boyle until this morning. I did not consider the case as one in which I was called upon to interfere pro- fessionally. I was here merely as a personal friend of Mr Sumner, and did not come as his physician. When I met Dr. Boyle this morning, and heard his reasons for acting, I came to the conclusion that every thing in the management of the case was entirely profes sional. Thus Dr. Perry proves positively that the case was taken out of Dr. Boyle’s hands not because he failed to manage it professionally in all respeets properly, but because he would not manage it politically to suit the purpose of imposing on the Northern public with ref- erence to the condition of the patient, the true character of the wounds, the extent of the in- jury suffered by Mr. Sumner, &c. From Dr Boyle’s testimony we make the following brief extract, to show his views of the proper po- litical management of such cases, in the pro priety of which all sensible persons will con- cur. Question. What are your political affinities? Answer. [ am an old-line Whig—if I have any politics. I was born in the city of Wash- on. i Were you bail for Mr. Brooks? A. I was not Q (By Mr. Cobb.) Are you a regular prao- ticing physician of this city, and if se, for how long have you practiced ? A. I have been practicing since 1844. I have been connected with hospitals and medi- cine since 1833, Q. I ask whether in treatment depends upon t, of your patients? A. No, sir. Q. Do you treat them with reference to their political opinions, or do you judge more by the pulse, A. I have nothing to do with any man’s politics. Manufacturing in Washington —We saw recently at the establishment of Messrs. W. Ellis & Bro., on the canal, between Thir- teenth and Fourteenth streets, extensive saw- ing machinery and the steam engine to run it, for the Bayfield Land Company of Wis- consin, the seat of whose operations is loeated about sixty miles from the west end of Lake Superior. The same house has long been manufacturing sugar mills with steam engines attached, for planters and merchants in the West Indies, Louisiana and Texas, until their work has come to have a preference in those regions over that of any other shop of the kind in the country. They have recently put up for the Scar office an engine of their own make, which though one of the most powerful used in a printing office, anywhere, does its duty with so little noise that one twenty feet distant, unless informed of the fact, would not know that a steam engine was operating in his immediate vicinity. The machinery to which we allude first above, is as fair a specimen of the success of our countrymen in the industrial arts as we ever saw ; being per- fect in finish and material, as well as in de- sign. We hail the employment of this house to execute such an order from the far North. west as the beginning of a new era in the Progress of business in Washington, and trust that many more of them may reward the ex- ertions of the Messrs. Ellis to manufacture ex- tensively at this point. our practice your political opinions Latest from Nicaragua.—The New Or- leans Delta publishes a letter from San Juan del Norte, dated June 5th instant, saying that accounts from Guatemala, Honduras, and San Salvador, represent that all three of those States are quietly marching armies against the fillibuster government of Nicaragua, in which State the greatest alarm on that ac- count is said to exist. According to a recent elaborate letter from Nicaragua, published in the New York Tribune, explaining the con- dition of Walker’s affairs, he is just now worse prepared to stand such a concerted attack than ever before; it being out of his power to pay bis troops a penny a day, or to accord them a rag of clothes; while the cholera and yellow fever are sweeping them off faster than the places of the dead can be supplied with fresh victims from the United States. The Padre Vijil who represents Walker's Govern- ment in Washington, is about ty return to Nicaragua in the next steamer from New York. The Whig Meeting.—The old-line Whigs of Washington city will probably turn out in large numbers at their meeting to-night. At present we have every reason to hope that their counsels will be guided by the same wise and patriotic spirit that has actuated Senators Pratt, Jones and Benjamin, the Hon. Messrs. Preston of Ky., Ashmun of Mass., and the host of other distinguished Whig leaders, who realising the danger of the total subver- sion of the Constitution of the United States, to grow out of the triumph of either of the new political parties—both being based on principles palpably at war with the letter and spirit of that instrament—are now struggling manfully for the triumph of Buchanan and Breckinridge. The Canvass.—There is less excitement ox- isting here with reference to the current na- tional political canvass, than we ever saw manifested on such an occasion This fact grows out of the existence of the so universal impression that Buchanan and Breckinridge cannot fail to be elected by an overwhelming majority of electoral votes. Their supporters —Democrats and Whigs—realize that com- paratively small exertions are requisite on their part; while the supporters of the two opposition tickets are equally well aware that aught they may essay will be but labor thrown away. This is, in few words, the key to the prevailing general apathy. Congress.—On Monday next, the transac. tion of the real business of the session will fairly commence in both Houses of Congress. From that day to the termination of the ses- sion, we may look for long sittings, short speeches, and intense engineering outside of the halls, We shall have among us, of Washington, a large number of strangers interested in bills, &o., tobe acted on, whose presence will re- lieve us of the Gallness of the past fortnight, which has been well nigh insufferable. New Passed Midshipmen.—The following is a list of midshipmen, of the date of 1859, who have recently passed their final exami- pation at Annapolis, Md. : John G. Walker, John G. Mitchell, Francis M.

Going the Whole Hog —The New York Herald is in ecstacies over the Republican party platform! Such another evidence of self-stultification as that paper of yesterday exhibits in its article recommending the Phil- adelphia platform above referred to as infi- nitely superior to that of the Cincinnati Con- vention, we never before saw in a newspaper. Really, Bennett labors harder and prostitutes himself more unblushingly for that mission to France, which he will never obtain, than any other man could do. Confirmed by the Senate.—Absalom F.

In the House, yesterday, after we went to press, the bill for the relief of West Drink- water was discussed at length in Committee of the Whole House by Messrs Knowlton and Taylor in its favor, and Messrs. Millson and Letcher against it. Mr. Millson then moved to lay it aside, with @ recommendation that it do not pass; on which motion no quorum voted. The roll was then called, and the names of the absentees having been reported, the com- mittee rose. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, remarked that he gave notice the other day that on Monday next he would oall up for consideration the report of the select committee in reference to the assault upon Senator Sumner. He had learned since, however, that the report had not yet been printed, notwithstanding it was submitted to the House more than two weeks ago. He had also learned that next week had been set apart for the consideration of terri- torial business. Not wishing to interfere with that business. nor to press the consideration of the report to which he had referred until members should have had an opportunity to thoroughly investigate the testimony, he would state to the House that he had deferred call- ing up the report for one week. Mr. Washburn, of Me., again asked sion to make a personal explanation; jection was made Aad then, after an ineffectual motion to ad- journ over until Monday, and another for a call of the House, they adjourned. 3,560 60 rmis- ut ob- Preceedings ef Te-Day. In the House, to-day, shortly after the reading of the journal, they went into Con- mittee of the Whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. Leiter in the chair,) wherein the annual army appropriation bill having been taken up, Mr. Colfax delivered a speech condemna- pry of the laws enacted by tho Territory of ansas, Launch of the U. 8. steam {rigate Colorado. [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE sTaR.| Porrsuouta, Va., June 19, 1856. We have just returned from the launch of the United States steamer Colorado, and can truly say, as thousands will testify, that it was one of the most successful and beautiful launches ever made. Persons were present from all parts of the Union. Frem half past seven to ten this morning the crowd was con- stantly gathering from the surrounding towns and country—in carriages, row boats, sail boats, and steamboats. The number present has been variously estimated ; [should judge that there was not less than eight thousand in and around the navy yard alone. It is certain that there never were so many in the yard before to witness a lauuch. At precisely five minutes past ten the noble ship glided into her destined element amid the cheers of the spectators and the roar of the guns of the Pennsylvania. Many, from the large size of the Colorado, feared that some accident might occur; but those who knew the worthy naval construc- tor, Samuel T. Hartt, Esq , thought other- wise. They knew that when he said the steamer was ready to be launched, they need have no apprehensions. Too much credit cannot be given to our in- defatigable master builder, John L. Porter, Esq., for his skill and ingenuity. The noble ship did not even strike the opposite ehore, but floated upon ‘‘ the waters lice a thing of life,’’ and will be o witness, as long as she rides the wave, of the skill and efficiency of the constructor, master builder, and mechan ics of the Gosport navy yard. There was not the least accident happened to any one so far as we have heard. M. | See JOHN E.
