BY CHARLES SWAIN. ihere’s a name by mothers spoken In the lonely hour of prayer ; There’s a name—in accents broken Utter’d—and by lips of care ; Sisters in their tears have breathed it, flearts have sobbed that spoke the word ; Soldiers, as in pride they've wreathed it, Praised the hour that naire was heard. While the wintry midnight falleth, And the western star grows pale, Eneland on that one name calleth— Nightingale! dear Nightingale !

From the couch where wealth reclineth. fo the camp where anguish lies, Where the bleeding warrior pineth, Where the brave heart sinks and dies—~ Se ‘king, tending the neglected, Pouring comfort o’er tue heart— Onward moves the God-directed, God-assisted for her part! As the wintry midnight falleth, \nd the western star grows pale, Britain on that one name calleth~ Nightingale! dear Nightingale !

Other names shall Fame be pealing, Other names may upward stari—

Not like thine, to last while feeling Throbs within a human heart:

Not like thine—whate’er the station ; Nothing can that name effac

If forgotten by the nation, What could hide its deep disgrace?

While the sand of centuries falleth, W hile the stars of years grow pale,

Time shall hear a lip that ealleth God to bless theo—Nightingale !

eh oe ae > THE WINTERS. We did not fear them onee—the dull gray mornings No cheerless burden va our spirits laid ; The long night watches did not bring us warnings That we were tenants of a house decayed.

The early snow like dreams to us deseended : The frost did fairy-work on pane and bough ; Beauty, and power, and wonder, have not ended— liow is it that we fear the Winters now ?

Their house fires fall as bright on hearth and chamber ; Their northern starlight shines as coldly clear ; The woods still keep their holly for December ; The world has welcome yet for the new year. And iar away in old remembered places ~ Che snow-drop rises and the robin sings ; The sun and moon look out with loving faces— Why have our days forgot such goodly things.

Is it that now the north wind finds us shaken by tempest fiercer than its bitter blast? And fair beliefs and friendships have forsaken, Like Summer's beauty, as that tempest passed ? And life grows leafless in its pleasant valleys, The light of promise waning from its day, Till mists meet even in its inward palace— Not like the outer mists, to melt away ?

Tt was not thus when dreams of love and laurels Gave sunshine to the Winters of our youth, Before ite hopes had fallen in fortune’s quarreis, Or Time had bowed them with his heavy truth— Ere yet the twilight found us strange and lonely, With shadows coming when the fire burns low, To tell of distant graves and losses er The past that cannot change and will not go.

Alas! dear friends, the Winter is within us ;— Hard is the ice that gathers round the heart, If petty cares and vain regrets can win us From Life's true heritage and better part. Seasons and skies rejoice, yea, worship rather ;— But nations toil and tremble even as we ; Hoping for harvests they will never gather, And dreading Winters they may rever see. pe «=

FLonence NicurisGatr.—Florence will, hereafter, be a Javorite name for girls. Thousands of mothers are naming their daughters after the noble and self-sacrificing woman who went to the Crimea to soothe the sufferings and bind up the wounds of those who had no other friends than the hos- pital nurses. They bestow the name on their children in the hope that they may, in some degree, resemble her. In a clever speech of Lord Ellesmere, lately made in the House of Lords, he refers to Florence N ightingale in these words:

“The vegetation of two successive springs has obscured the vestiges of Balaklava and Inkermann. Strong voices now answer to the roll-call, and sturdy forms now cluster round the colors. The ranks are full, the hospitals are ewpty. The angel of mercy still lingers to the last on the seene of her labors (hear hear); but her mission is all but asecomplished. Those long arcades of Scutari, in which dying men sat up to catch the sounds of her footsteps or the flutter of her dress, and fell back on the pillow content to have seen her shadow as it passed, are now comparatively deserted. She may probably be thinking how to escape, as best she may, on her return, the demonstrations of a nation’s “Spreetion of the deeds aud motives of Florence Nightin- gale.”

Of course this allusion was hailed with repeated cheers.

A LAND OF LIBERTY!

{The following graphic account of recent outrages at Wash- ' ington is from the pen of General Webb, editor of the New York Ceurier and Enquirer. As an American writer, we have no reason to discredit the testimony which he bears to the ex- istence of a state of things in the very Capital of the “free and enlightened Republic,’’ which must render the vaunted superiority of that country a bye-word and a jest. The editor of the Islander is a great admirer of American ‘ institutions,” and frequently says (what nobody heeds) that the Colonists must ultimately adopt them. Heaven forbid that we should ever copy the example, in any respect, of a country wherein the expression of free thought, according to the testimony of | one of its own citizens, ‘is at the peril of limb, if not at the hazard of life.’”’-—Epirorx Examrver.]

Wasuineron, May 24, 1856.

More than forty eight bours have elapsed since a member of the House of Representatives committed an assault upon a member of the Senate of the United States, when in his seat in the Senate Chamber and in the discharge of his duties legitimately appertaining to his official position, which has no parallel in the history of our country. I would not permit my- self to write on this subject, while participating in the excitement which it wag so well calculated to produce, even here, where freedom of speech both in and out of the Capital, is only indulged in by the few ; even by them, under the full conviction that such indulgence is at the peril of timb, if not at the hazard of life. But the lapse of two days, and a careful consideration of the causes which have !ed to the existing state of affairs, have given me all of coolness, deliberation and discretion, which |

OTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, M

shall ever exercise when discussing this subject ; and I shall therefore proceed to discharge what [consider a duty, the | neglect of which would be a crime so long as I retain my con-| nexion with the Press of the United States, of which I have become, with some half dozen exceptions, the senior member.

First then, let me repeat Mr. Sumner’s version of this assault, as given to me by himself very shorily after his head had been partially shaved, and two wounds respectively three or four inches long, and literally tearing the scalp from the bone, had been sewed up. He says—‘* At the moment of

adjournment I was busily occupied in frankiag documents for my constituents preparatory to the closing of the mail; and to several gentlemen who approached with a view to conversation,

work in the next half hour, as my apology for continuing | = iehete Having got rid of nearly a dozen persons by pleading this excuse, about twenty minutes afier the adjourn- ment, Mr. Brooks, of the House of Representatives, presented | himself directly in front of my desk, and atiracted my attention | to the remark—‘Mr. Sumner, I have rcad your speech.’ | looked up and became conscious knew by sight, and exclaimed, ‘ Ah!’ when he added : have read it twice carefully ; and a more infamous libel never | ’ At this moment his blow descended upon my head, and

Those who witnessed the assault, say that in receiving the blows given in quick succession and with terrible force, Mr. Sumner attempted to rise from his seat, to which be was in a measure pinioned by his Jegs being under the desk,—the legs of which, like all the desks of the Senate Chamber, have plates of iron fastened to then ; and these plates are firmly secured to the floor. His first attempt to rise was a failure, and he fel! back into his chair, and the blows of his assailant continued to fall mercilessly upon his uncovered head. His second attempt ripped up the iron fastenings of his desk, and he precipitated

| himself forward ; but being blinded and stunned, he fell wide of

the direettonin which Mr, Brooks stood. Prostrated on the floor, and covered with blood as [ never saw man covered before, the ussault continued, until Mr. Murray and Mr. Morgan, béth members of the House of Representatives from New York, had time to come from the extreme south-east angle of the Senate Chamber ; and who, forcing their way through the crowd of Senators! and others, in the midst of whom Mr. Sumner was lying senseless and being beaten, they seized the assailant and rescued the body of Sumner. Of course, | co not speak from personal knowledge, but Mr. Murray informs me, that not only did the blows continue until he had reached the scene of action and forced his way through the crowd ; but when be first threw his arms around Mr. Brooks he failed to secure his right arm, and at least one blow was inflicted upon the prostrate form of the insensible Senator, after he, Mr. Murray, bad laid hands upon his assailant.

‘These are the simple facts of the case as they wil! undoubt- edly be sworn to by both Mr. Sumner and Messrs. Murray and Morgan ; and [| give them precisely as they were related to me by those gentlemen, and without the slightest desire to ag- gravate what | consider the most inexcusadle outrage upon the institutions of the country of which | have ever become cog- nizant.

In Jooking at this grave attack upon the constitutional rights of a Senator, this violation of the privileges of the Senate, and this most unpardonable outrage upon the sanctity of the Senate Chamber, both Mr. Sumner and Mr. Brooks, as far as they are individually concerned, sink into absolute insignifi- cance. Hlad they met and fought, and both been killed on Pennsylvania Avenue, together with a dozen friends of each, it would have been a melancholy event; but in my estimation, based upon cool and deliberate reflection, such an event, sad as it would have been to record it, would not, and should not have caused a tythe of the feeling of indignation and horror, which will be felt by every right-minded man in the nation, when he hears of this terrible outrage upon our institutions and the freedom of debate and liberty of speech, and gross violation of the sanctity of the Senate Chamber ; and learns, that it was calmly witnessed and approved of by certain Democratic Sena- tors, and indirectly sustained, approved and justified by every friend of the present Administration in the House of Repre- sentatives, and with two honorable exceptions, by every member of that bedy froin the slave-holding States—one and all of whoin voted to secure their colleague from the punishment justly due to his conduct :—a vote worthy of men who deliber- ately violated their solemnly plighted faith by the repeal of the Compromise of 1820, and whose only idea of covrstitutional rights, constitutional obligations and conatitu@nal requirements, appears to be regulated by the one only consideration, of what is required by the Siave power to insure its extension over free territory, in order thereby to perpetuate foreverthe government of the United States in the hands of the Slave-ocracy which now controls and directs it.

It is not the assault upon Mr. Sumner, per se, whic'i [ feel called upon to deplore and to ho!d up to the calm and indignant condemnation of the people of the United States ; but because by this assault upon a Senator of the United States, in his seat in the Senate Chamber, and when in the discharge of his legitimate duties, the Constitution has been trampled under foot, the sanetity of the Senate has been violated, freedom of debate has been attempted to be suppressed by brute force, and Liberty itself—Constitutional hberty and freedom of thought and action—las been ruthlessly assailed, and the assault been justified and applauded by grave Senators and every Repre- sentative of the People, save two, Humphrey Marshall of Ky., and Henry W. Hoffinan of Md., living in the slave States, and by every Representative of the People who speaks the sent:- ments or sustains the measures of the existing Adiinistration of the county.

After nearly thirty years of editorial labor, always speaking my sentimenis frankly and fully, it is unnecessary to remind the daily readers of the Courier and Enquirer, thet no man in the United States has been willing to go farther in sustaining the Constitutional rights of the South in regard to ibe peculiar local institution, than { have. I have repeatedly published and proclaimed, that I do not look upon slavery as a curse to the slave ; but on the contrary, in the aggre rate, a greet blessing, and eo I think, designed to be by God ; but I have ever held and published, and every day of my life I am more confirmed in the conviction, that slavery is a curse to the country where it exists, and utterly demoralizing to the people who tolerate it. Itis, however, a purely local institution, with nothing na- tional in its character ; and the reckless Slaveholder who seeks tu extend this curse through the legislation of the General Government, and the equally reckless Abolitionist who would have the General Government directly or indirectly, interfere with this purely local Institution, whose blighting influence we deprecate, are alike disturbers of the public peace and enemies to the Constitution of our country. aa

That Slavery is a curse to the country in which it is permitted to have a footho'd, except in those Southern regions where white labor is impossible, is sufficiently demonstrated by the present condition and future prospects of the more Northern Slayeholding States ; that it is demoralizing in its influence upon the people among whom it exists,is rendered equally apparent by the habits, and customs, tle violence, and habitual disregard of life, and the whole tone of thought and action among the people who are born and educated amidst its in- fluences. That it is an Aristocratic and Anti-Republican In- stitution, is proclaimed by the very terms of ** Master 7 and ‘‘ Slave,”’? by which atone it can be described ; and like all other aristocratic institutions, it pro: ‘ces specimens of the highest refinement, the gentlest habits, and the greatest culture, only to render more conspicuous the general brutality and de- basing recklessness which it iinposes upon the great inass of the people. The Southern Gentleman and the Southern Lady are, therefore noble specimens of humanity, and well calculated to grace and adorn every society in which they may be cast ; and nobody estimates more highly and appreciates more

| thoroughly, this small class than Ido. But I cannot shut my

eyes to the fact, that the superiority of the few to whom I allude, is purchased at the expense of the many ; and the truth of this observation will be conceded by every candid person

who will ask himself the question, where—in what section of

our country,—whether in the slave or free States—occur the most street fights, homicides, brawls, and acts of violence? 1 am safe in saying that during the past five years the deaths or injuries in the slave States from these causes would average

at least two a week ; while in the free States during the same

yeriod, they would not average two per annum ; and even in those cases the probability is, that the actors In them would prove to be the inhabitants of the Slave States. iy

1 make this remark more in sorrow than in any: spirit of boasting, for the double purpose of proving to my countrymen the true cause of the demoralization which exists in this, the capital of the Nation, and to rouse them to a sense of their

territory, and over the virgin soil of Kansas. And if any other illustration of the truth of my position be required than that to which I have referred, let me instance the occurrences of the kind alluded to, within the last five months, which have happened here in the capital of the Nation, and iu which

ONDAY, JUNE 16, 1856.

[EDITOR ann PUBLISHER.

members of the House of Representatives haye been the principal actors. 1 confine the record to them ulone :

_First, then, William Smith, an ex-Govexnor of the State of Virginia, and a member of the House of Representatives, assailed and beat the Editor of the Evening Star, in December last, in the lobby of the House. 3

_ Second, Albert Rusk, a member of the House of Representa- tives, from Arkansas, assailed and beat the Editor of the New York Tribune in the greunds of the Capital, immediately after leaving the House of Representatives.

Third, Philip T. Herbert, of Alabama, a member of Congress from California, shot down and killed an Irish waiter at WiUard’s,.and is now under bonds to appear before the Grand Jury and await his trial, for such evime as they may adjudge

1im to have committed.

Fourth, Preston 8. Brooks, a member of the House of Representatives, from South Carolina, assails and beats unmercifully a Senator from Massachusetts, wheu vecupying his seat in the Senate of the United States, and engaged in the transaction of business legitimately appertaining to his station.

Here, then, you have,in five months four flagrant breaches of the peace, on the part of members of Congress who were born and bred in Slave States, and who are necessarily demora- lized by that institution, while, during the same period, not a solitary instance has occurred of members from the Free States forgetting what is due by public Legislators, to law and order —to civilization, and to the decencies and courtesies of the society in which they live.

You must next look to the manner in which these flagrant breaches of the peace by those whose duty it was, above all others, to respect the laws, have been treated by the House of which the offenders are members. ‘The first and seeond outrages —whipping editors who failed to protect their persons from pollution, ‘by promptly resisting force by greater and more decisive foree—were considered such trivial offences, that’the subject was not even referred to in the House which was outraged by such conduct on the part of one of its members. The third offence—the shooting Sowd and killing an Irish waiter at Willard’s Hotel—was gravely considered by the House of Representatives and voted to be an oceurrence not meriting investigation eyen ; and every Representative from a Slave State, and every supporter of this Administration, save one, united in suppressing inquiry ; and the offender daily takes his seat in Congress and legislates and aids in the passage of laws for the government of the country, while he himself is about to be tried for the gravest crime which man can perpe- trate against his fellow man.

The last offender, Mr. Brooks of South Carolina, wil}, at least, have his conduct inquired into; but it must not be lost sight of, that such inquiry by the House of which he is a member was strenuously resisted by every member of that body save two, who represent the slave States, and by all who sustain the present pro-Slavery Administration. Nobody who knows the parties, and has a proper respect for what he writes, would he willing to charge that the Southern members of Congress voted corruptly in thus striving to prevent an inyestigation into the aggravated assault upon a Senator of the United States by one of their own body, and that, too, when the Senator assaulted was in his seat in the Senate Chamber, and as much under the protection of the Senate as he would have heen if that body had been in session. I say that no considerate person would presume to call this deliberate corruption on the part of the members of Congress from the Slave States. What then was it?

How is this extraordinary yote to be accounted for or ex- arc ? I answer, by the demoralizing tendencies of the

nstitution of Slavery, which not only compels its repre- sentatives to vote as its instincts demand, regardless of the Constitation and the Laws, but which equally requires of the members from the free States, who have loaned themselyces to this administration in doing the behest of Slave power, to disgrace and stultify themselves in the eyes of the whole Amer- ican people. If there be on God’s footstool one human being more entitled than all others to the contempt of honest men, it is the Member of Congress from a free State, who entertaining the sentiments which all our Northern members do, and without a solitary one of the excuses for this vote which naturaily cluster around those who are born and educated amid the influences and tendencies of the peculiar institution, yet, in miserable subservyiency to this Administration and the pro-slayery doctrines to which it is committed, dares not vindicate the constitution of the country by punishing one who puts at defiance its provisions most dear to freemen and most essential for the preservation of our liberties.

I may mourn over the demoralization of Slavery, and the overbearing violence and disregard of law and civilization which is engenders in the masses, while it exalts and refines the favored few; but it rarely calls forth a feeling of contempt. Even its vices and its crimes are, in the main, manly ones ; and whatever if contempt the late votes in the House of Representatives may have engendered, it belongs solely to the unscrupulous members from the free States, who consented to do this dirty work of party, and who have been so aptly denominated ‘* Dough faces’ by the very men, who, having benefited by the treason, turned from the traitors with loathing and disgust.

Toattempt to describe the actual state of affairs here in the capital of the nation, would be a hopeless task. Ji would not be believed were one from heaven to proclaim it trumpet- tongued through the land; and yet no one can live here, as ( hawe for the lest six months, without feeling his blood boil at witnessing the fears and apprehensions of fatal consequences on the part of our Northern men, if any one ventures openly and manfully to speak the truth in the bar rooms, at the corners of the streets, and on the floor of Congress. And there is reason for these fears. ‘Ibis is a city in a slave district ; its tone is the tone and sentiment of slavery ; its visitors are mostly from the slave States, and a large rap oy 4 of them (not the better portion of them) carry pistols and bowie-knives; and what is more, they haye, both here and elsewhere, proved that they will not hesitate, on occasion, freely to use them. They are overbearing, threatening and defiant in their manner, ant our people have been overawed and cowed. Sumner, a man of peace, ventured to beard them, ard we perceive his fate. Wilson put them at defiance; but at the same time he put ‘pistols in his pocket, and poblicly declared that he held his

yerson sacred from assault! Greeley carried a revolver during the laiter part of his sojourn here, and then, and then only, even he was no longer molested ; and since the brutal assault on Mr. Samner, two-thirds of the anti-Nebraska members of Congress, and ail who claim and exercise the right of free |speech, as distinct from abusive Janguage or a bullying, | threatening manner, baye arrived at the conclusion that the | time has come when it is a duty they owe alike to themselves

,and to the country, to assert, and if necessary to vindicate tivis great constitutional privilege, and to be in a situation at all | times effectually to protect themselves from the bully and | assassin.

This is not a flattering picture to go abroad, but it is true, ; and recent events prove it. No reasonable man should doubt that the Slave power have unalterably determined to extend the area of their now merely /oca/ institution ; and if possible jrender it National. The howie-knife, the pistol and the | bludgeon, are all elements to be used in effecting this result, the latter practically and on the most trivial occasion—the two ‘former only theoretically and except under extraordiaary cir-
