Pursuent toa pudlic requisition signed by many citi- wens of Brocklyn, calling for an exvression of public opinion in regard to the recent assault upon Senator Sumner, an immense gathering of the Brooklynites took place at the City Hall in our sister city. The first inten- tion was that the meeing should be held in the Park facing the City Hall, but that arrangement was note fret carried out, pemibly owing to the fact that thes ‘whillivess of the evening woud aff-ct the health of scme cf the speakers were they «0 acdréss the crowd ‘in the open air, The hour dxea ter the commencement of the proceedings was eight o’clack P. M., and a little previous to that time those who were lingering about the steps of the Hall—and they were chen not very numerou —went up stairs to the Supreme Court room, in which place the main business cf the evenicg was conducted, though the large iccrease of the assembiage subsequently rendered it necessary to hold an outside meeting, as will be seen below. The Court room wor!d probably hold five or six hundred; but within a short timeafter the orgent- zation of the meeting, it contained much more than that ‘aumber, It was in fact uncomfortably crammed; and whilst it was almost impossible to ges in, it was nearly as” Aiffieult to get out. Ex-Mayor Lampert calied the meeting to order, and nominated his Honor Mayor Hall as Chairman, whish ‘Was unanimously agreed to. ‘The Cuamman said they came there, not as abolition. ists, nor as democrats, nor as whigs, but they assembled there as Americans (loud app'aus), to vindicate the @tewal principles of the freadom of apeeon, A cowardly and murderous assautt in the very Seoate chamber, upon an unarmed, defenceless man, basked up by a com: perbapa equally intent upon murder—(Ap- plause.) ‘A Voick—Look out for a challenge.

However, he held that this »currence was in ® manner providential. As be bad oocesion to remark few dsys since ia New Jersey, it required the b!oo4 of = to stir up that it which vindicated their nd their liberties. It seems ty me, in these sleepy, érowsy times, when our country’s rights are endan; that it tock the blow on Sumner’s bead t» rouse the peo- ple to a proper vense of their sights and dignity. w 4 Plause.) I have remarked thet it seems to me that bie univers! sentiment is exastly the thing that the coun- try needs. I come not here 10 speak as 5 pailelen, I ahould be ‘this. Bat, sir, this outrege appeals to the manbood of ever one of us, (App'suse.) Ard when we remember that ft is our collective action and operation that makes up the public sentiment of this government, it seems to me that we should feel more of personal responsibility, in view of the exigencies of the times, than we formerly felt, and that is just what the country requires. Moat of you have seén the manly form of Charles Sumner; and real- ly, when we believe that man was created in the im this Diaker, it really enlarges our views of the Deity itself, when we think of Sumner’s manly frm. His pby- sical form is but indicative of his ments! strength. And, sir, it was but the burning words of of tru'h—it was touching with an iron that was heated in thar furnace of truth that made that uatversal seriog- irg there=-(Iaughter and applause)—and for the utter- oe of that truth, he was struck down by as cowardly a nd as ever wielded a cane. (Renewed applause.) But, sir, that was not alone hi '—if itwasan indiviiual blow, we would any it wi ffervescence of a madmen. (A yoice~ Never.) Yes, arything—but it was not. That blow seems to be Justiflea by a large portion of our country, and for that reason— ne eal volo, excitedly—No, no—only 160,808. (Con- fasion, Gereral NyE—I speak territoris ly—no' of the number. It receives justification at the hands of presses, and Sena- tors have zisen on the floor of the Senate aud said that they approved the aet. (Great hlasing and groaning ) Now, wir, the popular doctrine is—my olerical friend be- atde me will pardon the allusion—in total depravity. I have sometimes, until this matter occurred, denied tha there is such » thing in the human heart as tctal depravily. I have said it was the common impulse of the wildest savage that ever roamed the foreata, if he saw a man lying bleeding prostrate at his feet, to reach out his hand and give himaid, But, sir, I believe refinement and Senatoris: posi:ion make men more totally depraved—if the exhibitions of the conduct of some of them are to be taken as a standard—than the wildest savage who treada the wilderness. (Appleuse.) Sir, where slumbered the humanity of Senator Toom»s? (Taughter and hisces.) Where slept the gushing heart of Douglas? (Loud hisses.) Where was teeir manhood when biow #t blow upon the censeless form of a prostrate man was unchecked by their stalwart forms andarma? (Cries of ‘That is it.”) That, sir, gives a ceeper dye to the whole transaction. (Appleuse.) Thai, air, ig to my mind the poison upon the weapon that made the gashes on Sumper’s head. (Kenewed cheers.) Bat they are atraigned before the tribunal of an indignant people, and to-night the people are sitting im judgment ‘upon that question. To night, not only here, but every- where where fr of speech is valued, they are pro- nouncing fentence upon this inhumanity. ‘That makes countless milions mourn (Applause): Sir, 1 would thet this were all. I would, sir, that thore wounds were cicatrized; but, alas! it is not fo. is a tongue in every wound on great Sumner’s head that will pealin thueder tones through this nation, until justioo—etern and inflexible justice— shall have been executed upon the head of the perpetra- ‘tor of this outrage and bis coazjators. (Enthusiastic oheerii Sad cccurrenses—heart-rending events—- rarely come single. Sir, while Senator is bleeding ia Washington, bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh are bleeding on the piains of far off Kansas; ant the flames of burn 1 Lawrence—lurid fiames—have literally pio- tured hell upon the skies. It is t of the aame act. I rejoioe that freemen bave are fn thelr mignt now, You are to-night not playing, but actiog the part of the good Samaritan. You are pouring balm into the wounds on Charles Sumner’s head. He will mot fight. His wea- pons are not the weapons of steel, but they are the won- pons which are thrice wheited—weapons of reason— ‘and they will yet tell in the conflict. (Vociferous plau- cits, amid which the General retired.) Rev. Mr. Hatrtetp next addressed the meeting. He desired to ray that he was a minister of the Gospel, but still he was a man—(appiause)—aud he saw no incom. patibility between his duties a4 a Christian teacher and bis sympethizing with his assembled fellow cil His honor and )iberties, aa weil as theirs, had been atil cutraged by the mean, dastardly covard who had mur- derously struck down Ubarles Sumner, one of the noblest men in the Union. (Applause) ‘The South, he be- ieved, wanted the free men of the North to go dowa upon their bellies in the mire and eat dirt. Cnever, never.”) He trasted, however, that God in his visdom’ would out of this dreadfal outrage f,ult of value to all lovers of their country, and the paramount principles of liberty of ' open ¢xprersion jof opinion. The reverend gentleman then entered into what he designated the en- croachments of the lave power—thatis, the compromise measures—ths Fugitive Siave law, the Kansas. ‘aska bill, and all that. He thought that i‘, after ali they had endured, this last thousandth insult was to be passed by unheeded, like the other insults cast upon the North, then, indeed, they ad become so debased, that i$ was of little consequence how muca more they might suffer, Rev. H. Warp BrECUER was next introduced, and when the applause with which he was receive bad subsided, he spoke in substance as follows:—He a'luded to the apology wade acs previous speaker, but thought no apology shouid be mace, as none was necessnry. Slavery was a book which was read by the lurid light ef heli—it ie, said he @ book whose axlums sprang taence, and whose last reading will be there. (Applause and Iaugh- ter.) He was opposed, with all his heart and soul, to slavery, for, from hia ear test age, he bad Joved liberty as dearer to him than Ife itself, For himself, he woald be free, living or dying, and he claimed freedom not only for himself but for ali mankiad.

It might be refused to th mon the ground that they were not fit for it, but it would bs on the same ground that you should not allow a child to go into the water until he kaew how toswim. There is now a good prospect of establishing freedom, after so much has been sacrificed to slavery. The Speaker compared it toa upas tree waich biackened everything around it.

It was not the ruler of s free nation who cocuph the Preaident’s chair. and not one of the overnments of thirty of our States had s word to say for Mberty. It is time that this spirit of sisvery war cast Out. As to Sumber, there was not a nobler man in the Senate, and too much conld not be said in his praite, The speaker compsred him to a lamb which had been torn to pieces—while ali pitied the fate of the poor Jamb, not a word was saia about the wolf—there was no- body to pursue or hunt it down. Slavery was the well, ard it would be destroyed and the coantry rid of its baneful presence. Hon. LES ALLEN, who was introduced by the Pei dent as @ citizen of Massachusetts, said he deemed it un- eccssary, in presence of such @ trioute to Massachusetis d ite noble Senator as this meeting prevented, to say & word in regard to the honor of that State. Thi it the eutrage which had been committed upon Senate Caamber. He was not of the same politica’ party with thet cistinguished man, and when be was in the Legislature voted against his appointment to the Senate of ihe United Sta'es, but nothing could be said against the purity of his character or of his acts in his Sens orisl capacity.

The speaker concladed by thanking the meeting for the honor they had done Mas- eachusetts and Ler noble svn, Charles Sumner. MR BRiGGs, of Ohio, was ca'led upon, and returned his thanks for the manner in which the citizens ef this city had spoken out ou the outrage which had been committed upon a Senator of State of Massachusetts.

American Convention, by the app. intment of delegates thereto, \0 declare ite'ad- herence to the principies, and all the principles, as enum- ciated by the Biase Council held at Binghamtoa, ia August last; therefore Resolved, That the American party of the State of New York, as represented hy this Convention, re affirme the decleration of principles as adopied by the State Council et Birghamton. Resolved, That in accordance with the true apirit and meanirg of that declaration, we utterly repudiets and denource the repeal of the Missouri compromise; we utterly repudiate and denounce the policy as initisted by the present administration in its Kunsas-Nebraska mea- sure, the objest and purpose of which was to extend slavery into these ferritories and ultimately to forse them in'o the Union as slave States; that we utterly repudiate and denounce the outrages perpe:rated iu Kaneas, the legitimate result cf wnat mossura; that we utterly execrste and abhor the outrages perpetrated in Washington, the natural sequence of giviwg away to the ‘violent and reckless spinit of slavery propa- andirm... eNKesolved, That the two great suntiments American mind of the S.ate cf New Yorl The American and Protestant sentiment, Secondly, Up- Position to the extension of human elavery, And that these two seutiments, as embodied {u the Btaghamton plaiform, were outraged by the pretended Philadetphis Eomiration, Tbatthe nominers did not represeat the American and Protertaat sentiment, while: they did re- present the pro-slavery sentiment of the South—the one by his antecedents, his past affiliations, and present aa- sociations, by the manner of his nomination and the ia- ffuences which produce it, and the other by his pudle Geclaration made in the Convention that nominated him; and because they thus represent principles acd measures antagonistical to those eld and advcoated by the Ameri- can party, we repudiate and reject them, Resolved, Thai while we disclaim all intention of in- structirg our delegates in regard to individuals waocee names msy be presented for nomination in the Netional Convention to be held on the 12th of Jane next, yet ws earnestly recommend that they use their best ex- ertions to present, as candidates for the aupport of the Acerican people, men who embody these two great conservative elements, in whose support all honest and earnest Americans, aud all honest and earnest oppo- * nents of the extezsion of human slavery, my, without & eacrifice of principle, or their own self-respect, unite. On motion the delegates to New Yorls Convention were empowered to fill vacancies. Mr. moved that the delegates to the New York 12th of June Convention from th's State meet in that city on the ilth of June, and proceed to take measures for the establiabment of a Grand Councit, favorable to the pripeiples deslared in the Binghamton plst‘orm. Mr. Waiker objected, saying tbat ho did not think this Convention should take astep so radical—that it wasnot prepared toadopt any measure so revolutiomary im itsebaracter. The time had not come for such s sever- ance from the American party, and it would be extreme- ly unwise for this Convention to meddle with a subjest se important. Another celegate coincided with the views expressed by Mr. Walker. He, too, thought this Convention should pause.
