The proWedings of the Democratic Meeting held at Taylor's Bridge. Sampson county, came to baud too lute lor publication this week. r,r" Hon. S. A. Smith, of Tcnn., has noti fied his condtitueuts of his intention to resign his seat in the House of Representatives at the dose of the present session of Congress. Mr Smith is a democrat. JS-5T The Boston Post says that the Hon. P. T. Herbert, from California, who killed the waiter, Keating, in the affray at Willard's hotel in Washington, has given to the widow of the deceased a neat house, settled upon her a hand some amunity, and provided for the education of her children. 5ej-The citizens of Norfolk have determined to erect a monument, which will cost about , 000, in commemoration of the services of those who lost their lives in the cause ofhuman- series of resolutions denouncing the attack as brutal and cowardly in itself; a gross breach of parliamentary 'privileges; a ruthless attempt to suppress the liberty of speech; an outrage on the decencies of civilized life, and an- indignity to Massachusetts. The resolutions also approve of Sumner course. Now we shall not attempt to justify Mr Brooks's conduct, for every lover of good order must condemn it. The occurrence was a de plorable one in every point of view, and we deeply regret that our national , legislature should be disgraced by such an exhibition of brutal violence ou the part of one of the repre sentatives of the American people. But there are circumstances connected with the affair which might, we think,' be offered in palliation of the offense committed by Mr Brooks. " Only a day or two before the attack, Mr Stunner had delivered a speech which abounded in reproach ful charges against Senator Butler, who was absent at the time. It also contained language reflecting upon the character of the State which he, (Mr Butler,) in part, represented. Mr Brooks, who is a kinsman of Judge Butler, naturally enough, became incensed at the conrse pursued by Senator Sumner, and chastised him, as has been related elsewhere. It appears, too, that the Senate was not in session when Mr Brooks made the attack. These facts ma' tend to palliate the conduct of Mr Brooks, but his offense is a grave one, as everybody must admit. JBSaT" The vituperation and abuse which are daily showered upon the heads of the demo cratic party by the know-nothing presses, indi cate the desperate fortunes of the opponents of the democracy. A good cause needs no as sistance beyond the propagation of truth. A bud one cannot be sustained unless resort be had to deception and falsehood. We judge therefore, that the prospects of the know-nothing party appear rather gloomy and disheart ening to its leaders. In our State at least, the opposition party have a "hard road to travel." North Carolina is democratic to the core and l has been so for years past. Well, an important The Kansas Difficulties.

We answer: the old democratic spirit is aroused, the democratic party is organized for action, and in all paits of the State old line whigs, as well as men who once belonged to the know-nothing order, but have deserted it, are rallying to the support of democratic principles.

The dismissal of Cramptou is still a mooted point, and we place very little reliance on the reports which arc in circulation respecting if. If it should be done, we do not believe any serious difficulty would grow out of the act. The British Gov ernment have admitted that our Government would be justifiable in adopting such a conrse if Mr Cramptou has really violated our neutrality laws. That he has done so, our Government seem to entertain not. a doubt; but the British Gov ernment have disclaimed any intention to in fringe the law, or to disregard the policy, or not to respect the sovereign rights of the United States. It is insisted, however, by her Majesty's Government, that Mr Cramptou has not com mitted any of the acts imputed to him, thus putting the case on rearly the same footing it would occupy had no apology been made. It. may follow, therefore, that Mr Cramptou will be dismissed. One thing is very certain: Mr Cramptou has rendered himself quite unpopular here, and he would do well to resign and seek other quarters. LATER. Washington, May 28. Dismissal of Cramitov and three British Cossi ls. Cramptou was notified this evening of the discontinuance of his diplomatic relations with this government, and passports enclosed to him. The British consuls at Philadelphia, Cincinnati and New York are discontinued, and the revocation of the excquateis will be an nounced in the morning. Wiita Meeting. The Observer gives notice that a meeting of the Whigs of Fayetteville and Cumberland will be held at the Town Hall in this place, on Wednesday afternoon, the 4th of June. We understand that the meeting is for the purpose of appointing delegates to the National Convention, to be held at Louisville, on the 4th July next. New Pot Office. Britain, Rutherford county, N.

In half an hour, Jones returned with two pieces of artillery, overwhelmed their force and commenced the work of destruction, by cannonading the Free State Hotel, and the 'office of the 'Herald of Freedom. The former was burnt, and the presses of the latter destroyed. The Chicago Tribune's informants left Law rence at 8 o'clock in the evening, and when 15 miles from there, saw a great light, and volumes of smoke in the- direction of that city. They have no doubt that the town is destroyed.

He is popular with both parties about here, and his name on a ticket v"uld command the hearty support of a large majority of the American people. The delegates to the National Convention are assembling here from all quarters on their way to Cincinnati. Every District in the South will be fully represented, and I suppose Wijliam McKay, Esq., of Floral, then came forward and placed himself in the ranks of the Democratic party. He pledged himself to stand shoulder to shoulder in the coming contests with the veterans of that part and to bring to the fight the same zeal which has heretofore characterized him as a whig. William McL. McKay, Esq., of Fayetteville, was called out and made a speech that was received with great satisfaction. His striking delineations of know-nothiiigism were strongly drawn, and his speech, throughout, was listened to with marked attention and interest. Peter A." McEacheu, Esq., made a most capital speech, fullj' sustaining his character as a popular orator. The following resolutions were passed: Resolved, That President Pierce, has, by his wise, just and truly national administration, entitled himself to the support of every demo crat in the Union. Let him be re-nominated and t lie Constitution which is the baud of the Union, will be maintained unimpaired, and know-nothing-abolitionism put to rest forever departure of the boat says that several men had , , " .,, , x ', ,. .

An extra from Lexington county, by express, confirms previous accounts of the destruction of Lawrence.

Jones then cannonaded and set tire to the would not stand up to the President, and they evinced a good deal of pleasure on learning that such was not the case.

Ou Monday next, the National Democratic Convention will assemble in Cincinnati to nominate candidates for President and Yicc President; therefore we shall know next week, perhaps, who are to be our standard bearers in the Presidential cam paign. We have expressed on divers occasions, our preference for Pierce and Dobbin as our leaders, and we trust they are destined to be the nominees of the Convention. But whether they shall be the nominees or not, -it is our present purpose to support the candidates that shall be selected by that body. We say this, because we feel assured that the Convention will adopt a platform truly national in its char acter a platform recognizing the rights of the South and the equality of the States and that it will put forward men whose principles accord with the letter and spirit of the federal consti tution. If such shall be the course of the Con vention and we doubt not it will be another glorious triumph awaits the Democracy of the Union in November. The hosts of know-noth-ingism, black republicanism and abolitionism will be routed and driven from the field of con test, and democratic principles will appear the brighter by reason of the clouds that have temporarily overshadowed them. We await the result with a firm conviction that victory is to be ours. Attack on Senator Sumner. Shortly after the Senate adjourned, on Thursday of last week, Mr Brooks, of South Carolina, a member of the House of Represen tatives, entered the Senate chamber and made a furious assault upon Senator Sumner, of Mas sachusetts. The following account of the transaction is copied from the Petersburg Express: "Some eye-witnesses say Mr Brooks struck Senator Sumner as many as twenty times over the head. Senator Sumner was sitting in an arm-chair when the assault was uiade upon him. He had no opportunity to defend himself. There are various opinions on the subject, and quite contradictory. Many were applauding the act, whilst others were denouncing it as a cowardly attempt to beat down freedom of speech. Mr Brooks was arrested shortly after the affair, a complaint haviug been made against him on oath of William Y. Leader, and was brought before Justice Hollingshead, and held to bail in 500 to answer. Mr Sumner has two severe but not dangerous wounds on the head. Brooks' cane was shat tered in many pieces, demonstrating the vio lence of the assault. When the attack was made there were pro bably fifteen or twenty persons present, inclu ding Messrs Crittenden, Foster, Toombs, Fitz patrick, Murray, Morgan and other members of Congress, Governor Gorman, together with several officers of the Seuate and strangers. The attack was so sndden and unexpected that Mr Sumner had no opportunity to plaee him self in a defensive attitude. The first blow stunned him, and the slick, which was of gutta percha, was broken into many pieces by the time the assault was termi nated. Messrs Crittenden, Toombs, Murray and others, interfered as goon as they could. and' probably prevented further damage. - Siihuier Funk unconscious to the floor, where he lay till raised by his friends.

Although you are four to one, I am here to meet you. Man can die in no better cause than in the defence of the liberty of speech. Mr Wilson remarked that the assault was brutal, cowardly and murderous, to which Mr Butler replied, emphatically denying the charge. In the House, Mr Walbridge reported a bill granting 1,300,000 acres of laud in Michigan for Railroads. A motion to table the bill was negatived by 67 against HO. On the second reading of the bill it was passed by a vote of IS against 57. Bragg and Gilmeu at Ashevii.le.
