liberal patronage. .
MORE OF MR. SUMNER.
We have more and more evidence that Mr.
Sumner is an unqualified abolitionist, and that
his oath to support the Federal Constitution, like
Seward's is of no account, being subject to the
mental reservation embraced in the doctrine of
the " higher law "that is to be governed by his
own political notions. The following extract from
a letter, written by him to a member of the late
Abolition Convention in Boston, sustains the opin
ion we here express ;
" The tyranny over us is complete. Will the
people submit to it 1 When you read this I shall
be saying in the Senate that they will not. I
shall pronounce the most thorough phillippic ever
heard in th?s legislative body."
The word " phillipic " is applied to an Oration
by Demonsthenese against Phillip king of Mace
donia, in which the orator aroused the Athenians
from their indolence. It is now used to denote
any declamation or discourse full of acrimonious
invective. The Senator fulfilled his promise, and
applied this acrimonious invective to a sovereign
3tatc of glorious antecedents, and to a Senator of
high and spotless character, both political and
social. When folks get into " phillipics," they
should lake care to know what and whom they
arc talking about, j.l'-',".
KANSAS.
l lhe conflicting accounts of the late transactions
in Kansas, leave us without any certain knowledge
of them. It isr clear that those who' enforced the
law were-disordcrly in some degree, but no one
Was killed of the abolition party, though very ex
aggerated reports had come to us on that score.
One of the " posse " was killed by the falling of
a brick from the hotel.
A writer in the Missouri Democrat gives a full
. a r count of the transactions of the 21st of Mat.
which we publish on our fourth page, though we
arc satisfied that his account is exaggerated, and
very much of a one sided affair. This is evident
from his talk about " civil war," and his procla
mations about terrible things to come, when the
last and best accounts say that all is quiet at Le
compton, Lawrence, and Franklin. United States
troops had been stationed at each of these pla
ces. We are quite willing, however, that our
readers should " hear both sides " and form their
own judgment in the case.
It is reported that Dr. Root and Mr. Mitchell
of New Haven have been killed by the " posse "
ten miles from Lawrence.' We give no credit to
this report. If the " posse " were bent on killing
folks, surely some would have perished during
the affair at Lawrence. .
The following will throw some light on this
Kansas matter : '
St. Louis, May 30. Col. Eld ridge, the lesse of
the "hotel which was destroyed at Lawrence, arri
ved here yesterday, on his way to the East. It is
said he will make application to Congress for da
mages. ,.-y ' f
Ex-Governor Recder, it is said, came down the
river disguised as a deck hand on the steamboat.
He left the boat at Schuyler, Mobile, and passed
over to Illinois, Ihence by railroad to Chicago.
His trunks were left at Atchison, and contained
copies of letters which he had written to the East,
and which, it is said, involve him ina conspiracy
against the government.
The steamers Saturn and Polar Star last night
brought down a large number of eastern emi
grants to Kansas, returning to their former homes
Chicago, May 81. Col. Eldredge of the Free
State Hotel at Lawrence, arrived here last night.
Also two persons bearers of despatches to Wash
ington. General Pomeroy escaped from Lawrence
and is expected here to-night. A meeting was
called at Kansas City for the 22d, to consider mea
sures relative to the American Hotel. It is said
it belongs to an Emigrant Aid Society.
WHAT IS THE MATTER 1
i The Sunday number of the New York Ucrald,
and we think Saturday also, comes out without
my blackguard expressions against Franklin
Rerce, our honored President,- What is the mat
ter 1 Is the Herald's stock of billingsgate exhaus
ted, or have Bennett and his bunch of Editors
got tired of their dirty work. We cannot ray in
this regard, "there is nothing new under the Sun,"
because this is an entire new phase of the Herald,
and it is absolutely civil towards the Chie f Mag
istrate, so far as silence can be construed into ci
vility. Of course, it would be a great inconsisten
cy in Bennett to speak decently of Mr. Piebce.
Perhaps be finds it necessary, in order to be in
hopeful position with any of the nominees, to
'haul off" for a season for whatever may be the
result of the proceeding of the Cincinnati Con
vention, no nominee will-approve of the insults
to The Prasident, who far beloved an esteemed
ly all his party, except a few who are not the ex-
ponents of a Democratic sentiment, aoch as the
New York News and the Washington Sentinel, who
exhibit discontent, because the editors and a
mall number of disappointed politicians, did not
receive such high distinction and regard from the
President, as no one In the world but themsel
ves supposed them entitled to. They are, like
Bennett, mad because they did not get office
from Fresiaent i'leacs. u ibjs aissausiacuon
will not affect either the nomination or the elec
tion, in the least drgree. i
We see nothiag abueiT ia the Herald of Monday,
BLACK REPUBLICANISM.
A meeting of the Abolition Convention of Mas
sachusetts, was held in the Melodeon, at Boston,
on Wednesday week last It was quite a " Bom
bastes FuriosO"' affair and the way Mr. Brooks,
of South Carolina was used up and trampled
down, none can well appreciate who were not
there to see and bear it. Mr. Sumner came in
for a large share of sympathy and laudation.
But the crowning glory of the affair consisted
in some remarks of a " colored gemmen," of
course, one of the leading Orators on the occasion.
We give the precious extract, which is as follows:
Mr. Charles L. Remond, a colored man, said he
was glad to see the free soil men being driven
from Kansas, as it would make them appreciate
his rights as well as their own. He said that, re
membering he was a slaveholder, he could spit up
on Washington. (Loud hisses and applause.-
The hissers, be said, were slaveholders in spirit,
and every one of them would enslave him if they
had the courage to do It, So near to Faneuit
Hall and Bunker Hill, was Ae not to be permitted
to say that that scoundrel George Hashington, had
enslaved his fellow men ? (Hisses and applause
THE COURSE OF THE REVERENDS.
The Reverends Drs. Chaplin, Cheever, Henrt
Ward Beecher and a whole bundle of the New
England Clergy besides, are preaching sermons
about the Sumner affair, thus making the altar
of God the stepping stone to elevate the political
party we call Black Republicans. Whatever may
be the fate of the Union, these meddling Priests
of New England have donb more to destroy it,
than all the other Churches and Priests at home
or abroad have done or can do ; more than all
the soathern rights men ; the southern Bullifiers ;
the southern disanionists, and the southern "fire
caters " as they are called. Wc told our neigh
bors of South Carolina and elsewhere, who desi
red to annul the Union, several years ago, that if
they would only keep quiet the northern States
would dissolve it. They are making great head
way in the case, and these " cowardly ruffians "
in clerical habiliments, who " steal the livery of
Heaven to serve the Devil in" are among the most
efficient workers for the prospective ruin. Noth
ing but the success of the Great National Demo
cratic Party can keep this Confederacy together.
It is the ' last time."

third dispatch. J
Cincinnati, June 2-21 o'clock At quarter
before twelve o'clock the signal of the firing of
cannon for the epecrng of the convention was
heard, and t&e delegates commenced assembling
in the hall selected for the deliberations.
At 12 o'clock the Convention was called to or
der by IIon.fi. M. McLano, of Maryland, and Mr.
Richardson, of Illinois, nominated Uon.Sam'l Me
dary, of Ohio, for temporary chairman, which was
carried unanimously.
Mr. Hall, of Massachusetts, called for the read
ing of the call of tho Convention, when the call
ffas read by Mr. English, of Iudiana.
Hero a sudden uproar was heard at the door
of the convention, when a large crowd rushed in
to the nail, scrambling and fighting amidst the
direst confusion. It was soon discovered that the
disorderlies were the Benton delegation from
Missouri, who, resolved to enter by violence had
knocked down the door-keeper and rushed in,
headed by Ex-Governor Price.
For a few minutes a scene of confusion ensued
that would be impossible to describe. Members
jumped upon their chairs and secured themselves
as though a serious riot was about to take place.
After a while quiet was restored and the reading
of the call was proceeded With.
Mr. McLane, of Maryland, stated that when the
credentials of the Missouri delegates were presen
ted the committee of arrangements gave tickets
of admission to the delegation which presented
prima facia evidence of their election and refused
the others. New York also appearod with two
sets of delegates, but as the committee could not
decide which were entitled to seats, declined giv
ing tickets to cither uulcss they could arrange
the matter among themselves as was done in the
case of tho Mississippi delegations. Both the
delegations from New York now awaited admis
sion, i 1 ' -
Hon. Samuel Medary, on taking the chair, re
turned thanks for the temporary honor. He had
attended every Democratic Convention since the
first that nominated Gen. Jackson ; and had the
honor to be a member of that which nominated
Gen. Franklin Pierce. He commented on the
progress of the Democracy and its extended in
fluence. He believed that the occasional storms
in the party were calculated to purify the atmos
phere, sod that the party was destined to triumph
despite temporary quarrels. He then introduced
the Rev. Mr. Nicholson, of Cincinnati, who offer
ed prayer.
Alexander B. Cletheral, of Alexandria, and W.
F. Ritchie, of Virginia, were elected temporary
secretaries.
A. Gf. Browft, of Mississippi, fniroduced a reso
lution! admitting alternates to seats in the hall.
Mr. Harriss, of Illinois, proposed that a certain
pro rata number from each State be admitted, as
the hall is not large enough to accommodate all.
Mr. Craig, of North Carolina, moved to lay the
resolution on the table till the convention was or
ganized fully carried.
Mr. Harris, of Illinois, moved tho appointment
of a committee on credentials to be selected by
the delegates from each uncontested State.
The following committee were appointed :
Vermont, B. .Marlow ; Massachusetts, James T.
Whitney ; Rhode Island, H. J. Burrows ; N. Jer
sey, G. S. Cannon ; Pennsylvania, H. B. Wright;
Delaware, James A. Bayard ; Maryland, Otho
Scott ; Virginia, R. H. Garnett ; North Carolina,
R. H. Heath; Alabama, W. Acklcy; Mississippi,
S. M. Yulee; Indiana, Sam'l W. Telford'; Ohio,

Illinois, Tbos. L. Harriss ; Michigan, Wmr Hale ;
Florida, David L. Yulee ; Iowa, Barnard Ilenn ;
Wisconsin, Paul Jouran ; California, J. Lancaster
Brent ; Arkansas, Colbert Caldwell ; Texas, J. M.
Bryant ; Missouri, Alb. W. LambV Georgio, Jas.
Gardner, Jr.; South Carolina, F. G. dieses.
As soon as the committee was announced, Mr.
Richardson, of Illinois, rose and said he did not
desire to interfere with the quarrels of the States,
but the Convention owed to itself, its dignity and
proprietyr that no person should be allowed to
force an entrance to the hall by overpowering the
doorkeeper. The house should protect itself from
violence and outrage.
Mr.. Hall, of Missouri, one of tho delegates who
forced the door, here arose to speak, but the chair
man refused to recognise him- The gentleman
must present his grievance to the committee on
credentials.
Mr. Hall made another effort to speak, but he
was interrupted with cries of order.
Mr. Price, of Missouri, rose and said the dele
gation submitted to the decision of the chair, and
at once withdrew.
Mr. Bocock, of Va., called attention to the fact
that the seats of the Missouri delegation were
contested, and vet Missouri had been allowed to
appoint a committee mart
The Missouri member wa consequently with
draws. .
Charles W. Wickliffe, of Ky.r offered a resolu
tion assigning the unoccupied seats to the outside
delegates. -
Judge Wilson, of Iowa, opposed the resolution
ob the ground that the last Baltimore convention
was overriden by outside pressure, and all fair j
representation of the States was done away with.
The following committee on the permanent or
ganization was appointed t' ' ' ;
Maine, I. D. Cred well j New Hampshire, Henry
R.Rust; Vermont, Robert Harvey; Massachu
setts, Isaac Davis; Rhode Island, Albert S. Gal
lup; Connecticut, PelegC. Child ; Tfew York,
; New Jersey, Charles Bates ; Pennsylva

E. G. Thurber; Florida, Chas. E. .Dyke ; Texas,
Richard P. Hubbard ; Iowa, James C. Randlett ;
Wisconsin, Wm. J. Gibson ; California, P. 0. Rust.
Mr. Black, of Pennsylvania, wanted to put Penn
sylvania right on the "matrimonial quest iou, he
said, and was proceeding to attempt to amuse the
convention when he was interrupted by Mr. But
ler of Massachusetts, who declared that Massa
chusetts had called for the verification of "the vote
on the motion to appoint a committee on the
platform by States and has not been recognized.
He held (hat under the rules of the last Conven
tion behad a right to demand such verification.
Col. Black wanted the floor, but was not recogni
zed by the chair.
Mr. GrUwold.of Mass., said that Massachusetts
did not desire to vote by State.
Mr. Butler said: We will see about that.
Mr. Bocock, of Va., held as a point of order
that the States must be called on the resolution.
The convention was bound by the rules of the
House of Representatives so far as consistent with
ibe proceedings of the convention. The ayes and
nays are always taken in the House when called
for before the transaction of other business. A
call for votes by the States partook of the same
character as a call for tho yeas and nays in the
House.
The chair decided the call in order.
Mr. Pettitt, of Indiana, called for the reading of
the resolution.
A vote was then taken by thoJ3tates on-laying
the resolution on the table, and the motion was
lost ayes .84, nays 177.
The resolution was then adopted unanimous.
Mr. John C. Smith, of Connecticut, moved the
appointment of a committee of one from each
State, except New York and Missouri, to hear and
decide at once the contested scats. Ruled out of
order.
The followiag named gentlemen were then op
pointed a committee to draft the Platform: New
Hampshire, E. Sayer; Vermont, C. G. Eastman;
Wisconsin, Benj. F. Hallct, Rhode Island, W. B.

Col. Black, to prove Pennsylvania's soundness
on the question of Women's Rights, moved that
all the front seats of the galleries be appropria
ted to the use of the ladies. Cries of "No !"
"No !"
Mr. Pcttit, of Indiana, opposed the resolution.
He said if the business of the convention was the
business of the ladies let them in, but if not, keep
them out He yielded to no man in gallantry.
He would be glad to meet them at all proper
times for all proper purposes, but not at a nation
al convention. He moved to lay the resolution to
admit tho ladies on the table.
The Convention then adjourned till to-morrow
morning.
FOURTH DISPATCn.
Cincinnati, June 2. 10 o'clock, P. M. The
committee on the permanent organization have
agreed on General John E. Ward, of Georgia, for
pcrmanct president
The committee on resolutions are in session and
have not yet finished the platform.
The committee on credentials are endeavoring
to harmonize the New Yorkers. The Softs are
disposed to compromise, but the Hards contend
that they are the only representatives of the dem
ocratic party, and refuse these overtures.
The committee sat this afternoon with closed
doors to hear the case of the Missouri contested
seats,' and finally decided to admit the anti-Ben-ton
delegates. The New York case will be heard
to-morrow.
The excitement is increasing. Mr. Buchanan's
friends are becoming more confident. The out
side pressure in his favor is immense, declaring
that Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio cannot be
carried by any other candidate.
INSURRECTION AT AUX CAYES.
. Boston, June 2. The Traveler publishes a let
ter from Aux Cayes, dated May JO, stating that
a formidable insurrection had broken out in that
part of Hay ti against Emperor Soluque. From
two to three thousand insurgents were marching
on Aux Cayes, and every male in town bad been
called out to join the troops fbr repelling the ene
my. The troops had marched-to meet the insur
gents and defend the entrance to the town; and
as the letter closed, an alarm was beating and a
report circulating that the troops had been repuls
ed. The populace were greatly excited and had
closed their stores, &c
MELANCHOLY CASUALTIES. '
Charleston, June 2. During the heavy blow
on Saturday last, which suddenly sprung up a
bont 12 o'clock, a small boat, containing three
persons, by name Louis Workman," John Meant
and William Hodson, all Germans, who had gone
out for the purpose of fishing; was capsized just
outside the bar, and Meant and Workman were
drowned. Hodson succeeded in retaining his hold
on the boat until he was rescued by a negro fish
erman who was returning to the city.
A large and valuable canoe boat, the property
of Mr. George Gardiner, manned by nine colored
seamen, while out on a fishing excursion about
the same place and hour as the above, was swamp
ed and six of them were drowned. The leader,
Harry Perry, and two others were saved by cling
ing to the boat till it driftey on Cole's Island
Beach.
A fishing smack was also capsized and lost, but
the crew were fortunately all saved. It was in
deed a disastrous day, and several other small
craft narrowly escaped the fate of the above. Too
much heed cannot be given to the suggestion of
keeping small boats near the shore. News.

WEBB'S OPINION.
J. Watson Webb, Esq. Editor of the New York
Courier and Enquirer, writing from Washington,
asks: "Are there not among us can there not be
fouad in the great- North, men of qualifications
for both the Senate and the House of Representa
tives, who possess also the necessary moral daring
and physical courage to meet and put down this
disgusting bullying either with pistol or with
bludgeon, as circumstances may requite 1 If there
be such, let them be sent here as your Repscnta
tives, until tho South, are taught after their own
fashion, that there not. only is a North, but that
it is unalterably determined to assert all its rights
and to maintain all its privileges, at the same time
that it will in good faith, at all times and in
all places, promptly discharge all its duties
to the Union, and hold sacred tho rights
of any section of country (whether sectional, lo
cal, or national,) under that Constitution to which
the allegiance of all is equally due."
SUICIDE SINGULAR VERDICT.

bout 60 years. An inquest was bold, at which the
following verdict was returned:

mations aforesaid, say that the said Jacob Wes

as- a felon of himself feloniously voluntarily and
tf his malice aforethought, himself killed, strang
led himself, against the peace and dignity of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
HELP FOR THE FREE STATE MEN.
Boston, May 31. A resolution appropriating
$20,000 for the relief of the Kansas sufferers was
discussed in the House to-day, and an amendment
providing for more money to be appropriated for
the purchase of fire-arras, was rejected by a large
majority.
A meeting has been called for Tuesday even
ing, at Faneuil Hall, to adopt measures in aid of
Kansas. $100,000 are to be raised for the Free
State men there.
Washington, May 31. Neither House of Con
gress was in session yesterday. Alany Of the
Democratic members have goue to the Cincinna
ti Convention, and in the Interval the halls of the
two Houses are to receive their summer furni
ture. Other Conventions are to be held within
the month of June, and it will be difficult, we sup

NORTH CAROLINA READER.
SW. WHITAKER, Wflmington, N. C. has
just published an edition of a series of
WORTH CAROLINA 'M,k.AUivo ficuiuprmng
NUMBERS 1 AND 2.
PREPARED WITH SPECIAL REF.
ERENCE TO THE WANTS AND
INTERESTS OF
NORTH CAROLINA,
UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE
SUPERINTANDENT OF UOM
MON SCHOOLS,
BY Rev. F. M. HUBBARD,
PROFESSOR OF THE LATIN LANGUAGE
AND LITERATURE IN THE UNIVERSI
TY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
NUMBER3.
CONTAINING A FAMILIAR .HISTORY AND DES
CRIPTION OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Selections tn PROSE and VERSE,
Many of them by eminent citizens of the 8tate.
Historical and Chronological Tables,
AND A
Variety of Miscellaneous Information and Fta
tistiet by
C. II. WILEY.
Number 8 is a new an4 revised edition of the
North Carolina Reader, first published in 1861.
Numbers 1 and 2, just issued, complete the se
ries, which is, as a whole, cheaper than any other
series of Readers ia the United States, and as
complete.
The Editor (Prof. Hubbard) In his Preface to
Number 1 '-deems it proper to allude to a few of
the peculiar advantage aimed at by the Suierin
tendent of Common Schools while making effort
to have this work completed. These are I
1. THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF A FEELING
OF SELP DEPENDENCE, and the enlistment of
popular sentiment m behalf of the State, and its
institutions. It was not thought important how
ever, to have more than one number of the Rea
ders of merely local interest.
2. TO REMEDY THE EVIL EVERYWHERE
COMPLAINED OF IS COMMON SCHOOLS, OF
A PERPETUAL CHANGE IN TEXT BOOKS j an
expensive habit, and one which injures the
Schools by preventing tho children from being
classified. A neries of home Readers, it was sup
posed, would be certainly used, and this great
vil thus avoided.
3. ECONOMY, flic popular system of Reader
being too long and being made so often merely to
add to the profits of authors and publinhers.
This series Is to consist of fewer numbers than
those generally used, snd it is believed that these
numbers arc sufficient, while if tb system were
universally used in the State, the sum saved to
parents and children would amount to several
thousand dollars snnnally.
4. TO PUT IN THE HANDS OF CHILDREN
LEARNING TO READ, COMPOSITIONS SUFFI
CIENTLY FAMILIAR, CUT NOT OF THE
CHARACTER CALLED CHILDISH COMPOSI
TIONS, containing, in lessons easy enough for all
ages, correct specimens of style. Interesting in
matter, and inculcating proper morals aud reli
gious instruction."
The prices are for'No. 1 , 25 cents ; No. 2, 37 ( cts.
and No. 8 75 cents. A liberal deduction from
these prices to Merchants and School Teachers.

PERRY DAE13' PAIN KILLER, as an Inter
nal remedy, has no equal. Incases of Cholic,
Summer Complaint, Dyspepsia, Dysentery, Asth
ma, it will cure in one night, by taking it inter
nally, and bathing with it freely. It Is the best
liniment in America. Its action Is like magic,
when externally applied to bad sores, burns
scalds, and sprains. For the sick headache, and
toothache, don't fail to try it. In short, it is a
Paiu Killer. j
Hollowatfs Ointment and Pills. Extraordinary
Cure of a Bad Breast. The wile of Mr. Arthur
Burn, of New Orleans Louisiana, was. after the
birth of their last child, a constant sufferer with
a bad breast, there were several holes in it, snd
despite of the vsrious remedies tried, her hus
band could not get anything to cause it to beal.
After every other' remedy had failed to benefit
the sufferer, she had recourse to Hollowsy's Oint
ment and Fills, which, ss a matter of course,
quickly caused an improvement io the appearance
of the affected parts, and by perseverance with
these fine remedies for a few weeks, he was com
pletely cured. This wonderful Ointment will al
so readily cure ail diseases of the akin.
