2 Mere Sentiment at the Soat® ou the Sa mer Affair. {from the Richmond Enquirer, Juve ¢] HE SUMNER DISCIPLINE—THE NEEDFUL REMEDY A few Southern joureais, affecting an exclusive roprietis yefilnement of feeling or regard for ef official intercourse, unite with th 0 ition par pers in condemning the chastiseme licted up- on Sumner by the Hon. P.S. Brooks. We have no sience with there mea!y-mouthed pharisees of the ‘reas. Why not speak out and declare at once th you are shocked by the “brutality of @ slaveholdiug Yoffian?” It is much more manly to adopt the vio- Jent vocabulary of the Tribune, ‘han to insinuate disapprobation in the meek accents of a conscience amitten saint. In the main, the press of the South applaud the eonduct of Mr. Brooks, without condition or lins\- tation. Our approbation, at least, is entire and up- sererved. We consider the act good in eonception, better in execution, and best of all in consequence. These vulgar abolitionists in the Senate are getting above them-elves. They have been humored until they forget their position. They have grown saucy, and dare to be impudent to gentlemen! Now, the: ase alow, mean, scurvy set, some little bool Yearning, but as utterly devoid of spirit or honor as a psck of curs. Intrenched behing “ privilege,” they fancy they can siander the South and insult its yepresentatives with impunity. The truth is, they have been suffered to run too long without collars. They must be lashed into submission, Sumner, in particular, ought to have nine and thirty early every morning. He is a great strapping fellow, and could stand the cowhide beautifully. Brooks frightened him, and at the first blow ot the cane he bellowed ike a bull calf. There is the blackguard Wilson, an ignorant Natick cobbler, swaggering in excess of muscle, and absolutely dying for a beating. Will not somebody take him in hand? Hale is another huge, red face, sweating scoundrel, whom some gen- Mleman should kick and caffuntil he abates some- thing of his impudent talk. These men are per- ‘tually abusing the people and representa- Bees of the South, for tyrants, robbers, raffians, adulterers, and what not. Shall we stand it? Can gentiemen sit still in the Senate and House of Re- presentatives, under an incessant stream of denun- ciation from wretches who avail themselves of the privilege of place to indulge their devilish passions with impunity? In the absence of an adequate law, Southern gentlemen must protect their own honor and feelings. It is an idle mockery to challenge one of these scullions. It is equally useless to at- fempt to disgrace them. They are insensible to shame, and can be brought to reason only by an application of cowhide or gutta percha. Let them onee understand that for every vile word spoken against the South they will suffer so many stripes, and they will soon learn to behave themselves like decent dogs—they can never be gentlemen. Mr. is salutary discipline, and he deserves ap for the bold, judicious mauner in which he chastised the scamp Sumner. It wasa proper act, done at the proper time, and in the proper place. Of all plicgs on earth the Senate Chamber, theatre of his yituperative exploits, was the very t where Sumner should have been made to suffer for his violation of the decencies of decorous debate, and for his brutal denmnciation of a venerable statesman. It was literally and entirely proper that he should be stricken down and beaten just beside the desk against which he leaned as he fulminated his filthy utterances through the Capitol. Itis idle ‘to talk of thesanctity of the Senate Chamber, since Wis polluted by the presence of such fellows as ‘Wilson and Sumner and Wade. They have desecra- ted it, and cannot now fly to it as to a sanctuary from the lash of vengeance. We trust other gentlemen will follow the exam pie of Mr. Brooks, that so a curb may be imposed upon the truculence and audacity of abolition speak- exs. If need be, let us have a caning or cowhiding every day. Ifthe worse come to the worse, so much the sooner so much the better. ANOTHER MEETING IN SOUTH CAROLINA. A public meeting of the citizens of Fairfield wae hed, on tae 2 night, 27th alt, to approve the conduct of the Hon. Preston S. Brooks, in adminis- tering to Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts a whole- some and richly merited castigation. On motion of Mr. G. H. McMaster, James M. Rut- Jand, Bsq., was called to the chair, and S.

Wia- throp saw fit to decline invitations to attend the sham indignation mee.iog at Faneuil Hall, om the evening of the 2dthinst. Of course you have seen the silly para- graph of the New Haven Journal and Courier, wherein it ‘was reported that the Coonecticut Leglsisture bed an- corked the viale of their wrath, to pour the contents en Mr. Everett’s uaheppy head; o>, im other words, that they bad rescinded the request for him to deliver his Washington oration at New Haven, because of his ab ent- ing himeelf from the meeting. Mr. Choate and Mr. Winthrop have also been bitterly denounced for following their own inclinations in opposition to the wishes of the abolitionists. I do not see any reason for condemning the ccurse of these geatlemen, and belisve tary were wholly justified in acting as they did. The commitiee who waited upon them to request their presence were men of notorious abolition sentiments, and they did no: wish to identify themselves with such characteze. Mr. Winthrop was approsebed in a manner pesaliarly clea greeable to him; and the person cho ea to solicit Mr. Choate’s atterdsace was the most impzope: ove that could have been relested. Mr, Everett, also, rece.ved hia invitation trom an ojec icnable source.

Politics in the Paiptt, SERMOKS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS CLERGYMEN—THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MUSI BE PUT DOWN—KANSAS MUST BE A FREE STATE,OR THE UNION MUST BE DISSOLVED. [from the Bortou Transcript, Jane 2.) Able aud pertinent discourses were delivared by many of cur clergyman yesterday, in their respective pulpita Rev. Mr. Store, in the Pare street church, though not alluding to the dsstardly upon Mr. Samaer in Gixeet terms, preached a sermon detcriptive of Paul’s persecution. stra, where taat apostle nearly met his Ceath by the stony missiles of an inturiate mob, for de- ferdirg the right. Tne physique of Saal; the cireum- stences that sarrounded him, waile dieseminating right- ecuspess among & bigoted and prejudiced Jevisu people; the unfriex diiners o: the civil magistracy; the cowardly matner in which the mod ersayed to take hia life; the ebrcurity in which the sssilants are now involved, and the halo of glory enveloping Paul's name, as detaiied by the glowing words of tne preasher, made @ picture pecu- liarly applicable to the assault which is so deeply stirring the community. Rev. Mr. Kalioch, at the Tremout Temple, preached ® spirited sermon in the afterncor upon the duty of the North im the emergercy of the times. A’ter re- duking the advocates of the dogma that ministers have nothing to do with politics, and stigmatizing the desperate measures of the Preeicent and his border raf- tian advisers as they dezerva, he advanced three proposi- Honr, as the necessary fruits of the atrocious doe rines of the Fxeeutive, and ‘he elarming state in which the country has been piaced by wicked rules. Either Kani must come io as & slave 3tate, and slavery achieve » n3- tlonal triumph, or as a free State, and freeton ag:! 1 bec: mo national, or, most direfal alternat've, a dicsola- tion cf the Union occur. To avert disso'ution, the peo ple of the North must unite to put down the extensioa of slavery In Kansas, and put down the democrati: paris. Tne great obj-c: for which all parties in the free S:ates shculd work, should pray, and should vste, is to defeat tke candidate which w.li be nominated, in the interest of ruffanisw, at Ciocinnati, a few days hence. Kev. E. Nute, pastor of the Unitarian church in Law- rence, Kaneas, preached to large congregations in the Bulfinch street and Holils street charches, yesterday. A very generous collection was made in the latter, in aid of Mr. Nute’s aosiety. We hesr bigh commendation bestowed upon the able treatinent of public matters by the Rey. F. D. Hantiag- ton, D.D., who cfficisted at the S.utn Congregational church; the Rev. W. 5, Stndley, at the Method! hare in North Koesell stret, and the Rev. T. S King, at tue Hollis street church, whose words were unusually elo. quent. A literary stranger who was present pronouaced them “‘sublime.’” Rev. Mr. Kirk preached a very able and pangeat dis- course at his church in the af.ernoon. Dr. Kiik selected for his text, Joel, chapter 11, versea 15 to 18: “Bow the truropet in Zion, eanstify a fast, call & solemn askembly; gether the peopie, sanctify the con- gicgation, arsemble the elders, gathe: the children and thore that suck the bres ts; let the bridegroom go forth out of her closet. Let the be ministers of the Lord, weep between the d the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, Lord, and giv rot thy heritage to reproach that the heathen should rule cver them; wherefore should they ssy among the people, whereia their God? Taen will the Lora be jealous for hia land and pity his people.” Joel’s ministry, be showed ip the oulsst, was mainly a message toa guilty people eallicg them te repentance, in a time of man’s degeneracy and a de: darkness gloominess.”” he compare that, passing thus from the Jewian theocracy to the Americen republic, and he believed we were called to the earce cource as was then prescribed for them.

Some might counsel ailence upon this subject. Mr, Kirk believed, for one, the day of silonse passed forever, and that the cau- tious and conservative will soon dissover it, The intro Guction of Miseourt a @ lave State, the base vislation of the very compact formed at her ada'crion, the history of Kanras, and the prereot condition of affairs, were to peculiar doctriae, connected together and traceeable to. the’ same fountain.

Therefore, as I have been a soldier ia San Salvador during the great conflicts of this beloved country—as I have defended Anat J sword ite liberal fastitutions—it carnot be ques‘ioned that I have some right to presen to you as few observations relative to your present politi cal course, so far an it 4 the mutual guarantecs so dear to the inbabitants of San Salvador, toey having conquered them in twenty battles by sacrificing huzdreds of Wustrions citizens, who, from their tombs, condemn silence when there in question of nothing lors than the destruction, by a singe stroke, of the edifice they built up st the cost of their lives, Tehall do ft, Mr. President, with the frankness of a re- pubsioan soléier, who, fall of confidence in your noble and éndghtened sentiments, believes thet you will listen to truth, and without any party prejudice heat the voice of reason and com iier aly the justice of the cause, When the nation was distracted by servilism, uader the ir fiuense of the aristocracy of Guatemala, the peo- ple of Nicaragua, San Salvador and Honduras, alarmed at the pernicious projects of domination nourished by thcee men shoe Hearaguan inde} ee ‘mae at different tlmes great efforte for re their eoun- try, im the hepe cf founding s national gorecameatt bai whey have been baffled by the venality of some of thelr functionaries anu by continued artifloes of the Dic- tator of Guatemala, who was exclusively occupied in waintaining disunion in the States and in fostering inte- rior disordere, not even recoiling at the measure of call- ing in the aid of foreign force, which blockaded our rts, Pea this has prolonged the unfortunate condition af the whole of Central America, acd finally inundated its soll with the blood of its children. Such an urbappy situation was experienced still more im Nicarague, a6 is proved by the last disastrous war, now of eighteen months duration, which is fortunately terminated by the triumph of the popular cause—s triumph due to the aid of a few Americans, and espe- iy to the military skill of the brave General Walker, to whom the government prudently confided the com- mand-in chief of the army. ‘The resurrection of liberal institutions in Nicaragua filled with joy the hearts of all Central Americans, who locked at it as the beginning of a new era of sesurity ano enforcement of the law through the whole country. The littie tyrants of the States were trembling and as- tounced before this mnignty demonstration, where the people, with the cap of liberty in one hand and the eword ip the other, ery to them, ‘‘Miserab’es, the time has come when all inhabitante of Central America shall be free agaic; content youcseives wi ce of tine ou have oppressed tl now your acvgeaat for the murder of thourands and for the shame- 'e by which you growa rich, leaving in miery an infinite number of families.” Hearing this thuncering voice, they have been struck with terror, and seeing the end o! their reiga, they are now looking to the same people whom they have sacri- fied, for support in prolonging a detested domination. They attempted to ceceive the people by their c \gainst the Americans and the prestnt govern- aragua, feigning hypocritical solicituie for the independence ef their country, so much the more ri- diculous io their mouths as we would have been long since subjugated ey any Europtan monarch, if the ua- ceasing efforts of the serviles to ra hg ® master, el.ber Exglish or Turkish, had been successful. ese are facta, Mr. President, known to everybody, and with which you are perfectly familiar; but I have re- eapitwated them in order to enter now on a prope: dis- cussien relative to San Salvador and its actual govern- mest, to which I have the honor to adcresa myself. Ithas been attempted to astoaish the people by the re'ation of the most hideous falsehoods against the Yan- kees; the latter are not only calumniated in the most atrocious manner, by supposing them to be covetous of the pro} 7 of others, &., so that simple people are wade to te ieve them to be a kind of ma ignant animal, and other absurdities of the same sort, but they are also charged with entertainin; bitious views of do- wineering in the country. re is not in all Nicaragua & person who hag ever witnesced a single act or a single aticmpt cf those men to attack the property of others; their ble conduct and their respect for the autho- rities and the citizens may serve as a model, without there being on their part even the least indication of any ambitious view of domination; nor, infact, could the son of the great republic cf cux continent ever be tyrants. The newspapers of the dit t States have taken mush pains to repeat the same calumnies against the conduct of the Americans, and, in particular, the Gazelle of Gua- temala tries to provoke great fears concerning the danger to our incepencence, for the purpose of deceiving the peo- ple and toengsge them to sacrifice their lives in sup- port of tyrants, Itis much to be regretted, Senor President, that you have consented, thus, to the dignity and reputation of San Salvacor belng compromised. The iiveral and independent government of Nicaragua has under its orders honorable Americans for protecting independence, and re-establishing nationali Central Amerca. This is the fact which salaried qri: who, in order to gain from their masters a morsel of bread, have endeavored to disfigure in a ehamefal way, as if the peo- ple did not already know euch pcor writers wetl enough. But ali this would ve of no importance if there was not to be feared the most attrocious attempt which could ever have been expected from a President of San Salva- dor. To deliver into the hands of that bandit Carrera an innocent ‘Population, under the preter: RS uniting them with him to wage war against Nicaragat isthe mest atrocious etme which could be commited against the coun’ry. It cannot be looked on aa other- wise, ard there is no doubt but that you, Senor Presi- dent, did not sufficiently reflect on the results of such a step. It would be impossible for me to imsgine tha: Senor Campo, wilfully, conscious of ite consequences, should have,committed such a treason upon the people of San Salvador. However, there are two remark facts which con- vice me almost that you deserve the plain feeling evinced against you by this people. The first is, that whilst reecgnizing the government of Carrera, who, in Guatemala, commards without rule or law, and without any other banner than that of terror, you at the same time do not acknowledge that of Nicaragua, which, in the distracted situation consequent on the war with Costa Rica, observes the principles of rule established by the law, serene and circumspect. as becomes a worthy government which heroically defends the righ's of its people. This encmaly is very much to the disadvan‘age of the actual President cf San Salvador. The second oint ir, that at the time you receive Commissioners of the absolute government of Guatemala, you repulee, ins sczndalous and rude manner, the men rent by’ th's government with instructions ‘of general interest to all Central America, without doubt in order to imitate the new pclicy of the governurent of Costa Risa. Would to heaven tbat it may not bave the same resul’s. Senor President, by what I have said to you, whizh is ecnfirmed by the public papers, I caanot but de- clare to you that case of the State of San Salvador beixg delivered into the hands of Carrera, under the circumstances that there is no military orga- nization (cot even a corps of reserve witn which to form the nucieus cf an army of defence against the attacks of its oldest and bitterest enemy) whatever might have been the pretext for such an attempt, it will cover you with shame, even in the grave. No Governor of San Salvador—not even Malespin— disavowed the duty of pro- tectirg this State against the tendencies of vandal like serviliem, ‘This is a serious situation, and if the disclosures of the ress and of @ ccrrupted ministry could pass without cond taken notice of, there are other strikicg and un- mistakeable icdications that you, Sr. Campo, violating the most sacred duties, not mowledgiog the’ sacrifices of thirty years, and forgetting the rights of humanity, are consuromating the most scandalous and atrocious crime of laying at the feet of Carrera the people who by legis- jation have been entrusted to yeu. It is to be hoped that, by an impulse of honor and cou- rage, you will recede from the of anabyss you do not know; and I do not belleve that party spiric will reach in you to such an extreme a3 wor ee the world. Tam, Sr. President, with all consideration, your obe- dient servant, M. CARRASCOSA. A Canadian View of Secretary Marcy’s Let ter. [From the Montreal Herald, June 2.) ‘This dcoument, addressed to Mr. Dallas, occapies about four columns of the New York paj of Friday last. Wrapped in an almost impenetrable husk of verbiage and special pleading, the kernel of the nut which tae British government is tavited to crack, may be given in avery few words, It is a6 follows:—The President is fully satisfied with the explanation given by Lord Claren- ¢on—that is, he {s satisfied Mr. Crampton acted contrary to his iortrustions from the, Brita government. | The President, therefore, seeing that the British government are so stubborn as to deny Mr. Crampton’s guilt, and he having already acted as prosecutor, witness, judge and jury, fee's bound to carry out the sentence of the court, which is, that Mr. C:ampton, having betrayed the confi dence of his scvereign, Queen Victoria, is no longer worthy to represent her Majesty near the United States government. The President “has therefore determined tovend to Mr. Crampton, her Mojenty’s diplomatic re- presentative, bis passport, and to revoke the exequsturs of Mr. Matthews, Mr. ‘clay and Mr. Rowecroft, British Consuls at Philadelphia, New York and Cincinca’t.”” Sach, denuded of its husk, is the nut presented by Mr, President Pierce to the Queen of England; but I her Majesty should find it somewhat hard and dry, Mr. Mars; adds a ernet of Hertz & Stroebel sauce, pour aider La di- stion, He saya the President ean discover nothing in ‘ord Ciarendon’s gossiping rumors respecting thesa gen- tlemen (Messrs, Hertz and Strcebel) to lead him to doubt their éisintererted patriotism and good faith, and he cannot fcr a moment think et sing their atatemeats, urder the solemn guarantee of an oath, in comparison with the simple denials of Mr. Crampton, upon his honor gentleman. Great ToRNADO AT Portage Crry, Wisconsin. —PorrtaGe, Wisconsin, May 24, 1856.—A terrible and appalling tornado overtook this place last night. The day hed been unusually warm. At midnight a rain storm came from about N. B. by N., and aftera short duration it was accompanied by a mighty wind which soon converted the rain into hail—on an ave- age the size of an egg. The large 4 inch panes of ‘aa.of the Columbia Bank were pierced or broken equally as the tiniest Cp uilernetly ld a similar ex- posure, Frame buildings, partially raised, were either blown down or by force of the wind forced forward eight or ten inches. The building of Mr. Lee, of the Washington Hotel, (the additions to it,) were overturned and scattered by the storm, that of Mr. Brady was blown in the direction of the wind, and moved fully eight inches from its position—the three story brick building of Mr. Herkley, in pro- gress of erection, was completely demolished, These at present form the most severe cases, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Coal is furnished at Scranton in cars ready for transportation, at nine shillings per ton, and + as Scranton is now brought within 132 miles of New York, with an open passsge the year round, it is difficult to nee how coal can ever again at'ain the high price which it has commanded the past winter. With such resources and such facilities, the Delaware, Lackawana and Western Railroad Company must prove « very pro” ductive property and its bonds a safe investment.

There is, we believe, no astual nacessity for the sale of the boats at present. Holders of the bonds are not pressing for payment, and ff they were, either one of the ships would bring more {han the whole claim, The cnly just and legal way is to -sell either or both of them +t public sale, The trustees have no right to makes rivate bargain upon any tering, The deed of trust ex- rersly stipulates that in defantt of the payment of the oncs atmaturity, the ships shall be sold at the best, market price, If the company frants the sbips, they cac | be obiained upon the payment (of $124,209; but that doos not appear to be the object./ Mr, Vanderbilt will not come forward and pay the sulm required, and hold the ships in trust for the company], He wants an out and out rale made; ke wants postession Independent of tho company, and if the trustees fare not firm and true to their trust, the above resolution will be enforced, and the best two boats of the company Mold for leva than one hal! their aetual value. 5 We are informed that Mr. Bic Schell did not ten./ dor bis resignation as director fin the Nicaragua Transit Company in consequence of 4| attempt to put in a plen of usury on the overdue boods, wut for the purpose of making @ vacancy, to be filled bY, the son-in-law of Ryn Vanderbilt, In accordance with ® Freyioyy arrangement, }
