Tho Brooks and Sumner Case.
'J'liia caso oaino up for trial yesterday
Inorning before .bulge CYawford, of the
criminal couit. Tlio District Attorney appeared
for the United State.", and 1 Ion. J.
L. Orr, of South Carolina, and .Jolm A.
Linton, Esq., of tliis city, for tbe defence.
The evidence adduceil di>l not dillcr mate
lially from that given before the Congressional
Committee. At the close of the testimony,
Mr. 1 {rooks addressed the court as
follows :? Wash. Union.
May it please your honor : May 1 be permitted
to say a word? [Judge Crawford.
Certainly.] I appear in person before this
bouorablu court simply to receive its judgment.
I would have preferred that tiie
person upon whom the assault was committed
bad been present to answer whether or
lint ltis sneec.h which libeller) mv .m/l
my blood, was printed before its delivery
in the Somite. 1 feel confident that, under
oath, ho could not have denied this fact,
which, with duo deference to your honor, I
regard as material to my defence, inasmuch
as a libel is contrary to law, and to that extent
would operate in extenuation of my
offence.
I would like to have inquired of him, in
person, as to the degree of his personal injuries,
and to have been informed in what
1 -II ? :i - - -
witv nc cuum reconcile inai part ol the
statement as to the words used by .rue
when tho assault was made with the sentence
which immediately succeeds this language
in his testimony before the investigating
committee, and which is as follows :
"While tho.-e words were passing tVoin
Jiis [my] lips, he commenced a succession
of blows with a heavy cane on my bare
head, by the Jirst of which J was stunned
so as to lose sight."
It would have gratified me had he been
compelled to answer under oath as to the
vinlnnnn nf lli? 1 : 1 T
ui mv; iiici uiuii, which jl aver was
but a tap, ami intended to put liim 011 his
guard.
JJut, sir, ho is conveniently and deliberately
absent and on travel, notwithstanding
six clays ago this ease was postponed on
account of his extreme indisposition and
the materiality of his testimony ; and yet,
with all these disadvantages, I prefer to receive'the
judgment of the court than to
eonlinue in suspense.
It is not my purpose to adduce any evidence
in defence.
I have alreatlv jn?n?iiin-?li?ilin.t n>A>.n ti
half of the journey of life, and litis is (lie
lirsttime that it has been iny misfortune to
be arraigned before any judicial tribunal as
a breaker of any law of my country. 1
confess, sir, and without shame, that my
sensibilities are disturbed by my nuvel position,
and I have to express my profound regret
that in discharging a duty imposed upon me
by my own senseof right and the sentiment
of thcgallant people it is my pride and honor
to represent, I am constrained, as a consequence,
to approach you as a violator, and
not as a maker, of tho laws.
In extenuation of my offence, permit me
to say that no extraordinary power of invention
is requisite to imagine a variety of
personal grievances which the good of society
and even public morality require to
be redressed ; and yet no adequate legal
remedy may be had. So, also, are there
cases which may fall under the condemnation
of tho letter of the law, and yet like
considerations will restrain its penalties.
The villian who perverts the best feelings of
the better sex, and rewards unsuspecting
-1 * * *1 * ' " * *
uuvouou wuii rum, may bid defiance to
this honorable court, lint, where a sister's
dishonor is blotted oul with the bluod of
her destroyer, an intelligent and wholesome
public opinion, imbodieJ in an intelligent and
virtuous jury, always lias, and always will,
con'vol the law, and popular sentiment will
applaud what the books may condemn.
It is the glory of the law iliat it is founded
in reason. I>uL can that reasoning be
just which is not regardful of human teelinf
? Sir no nnn l.-nrv<?'e K-.<1
. , ...<v?a mini yourself
that such a reproach docs not rest upon
our jurisprudence ; for, even the stern letter
of the law touches with tenderness the
husband who slays in the act the usurper
of his bed. The child who kills in defence
of its parent is excused by the law, which is
over regardful of the virtuous impulses of
nature.
13y a parity of reasoning, patriotism is
regarded by every natiou upon earth as the
cardinal political virtue. Laws' arc made
to roward it, and to perpctuato the names j
of those who are its exemplars. And can i
it be expected?will it be required?that I,!
with a heart to feci and an arm to strike,
shall patiently hear and ignobly submit
while my political mother ib covered with
insult, and obloquy, and dishonor ? while i
her character is slandered aud her repula-[
tion libeled ?
Sir, the substance which I liavo been
guthering for my children may be squandered,
my body may bo consigned to the
common jail, my life itself may be forfeited,
but I will be true to the instincts of my
nature?true to the homo of my nativity,
and to the mother that bore me.
The firet political lesson which my ripe?
ning faculties fully comprehended and apr
predated was the high moral and social
obligations of every-citizco to bow himself
to the majesty of the law. In obedience
to the preqepta of my youth which are
sanctioned by the experience and judgment
of tn&turer yean, I'eu&mit my case to the
uiBcrenon of the couit with entire confidence,
ttiaV while you, sir, as a magistrate,
perform ^dur wholj> duty to the country
and'j'ovireolf, yoo* will remember tbjtf. in

resentment, and tolerates tbe refuge whic^

Col. Broolia1 Trials and Resignation.
We present in this issue a report of the trial
of Col. 1 hooks before the Criminal Court.
The speech he made upon that occasiau is
worthy of him and of hi.s Stale. It will
| be seen that a fine of three hundred dollars

I ,'v.nu 111'ir11 mm i<\ ine V. Olirt, Wlllcll,
| we believe, is considered a light fine.
The discussion in the House of lieprc!
setilatives on the resolution of expulsion
, was animated and exciting, but it is said
i Col. 1 >i ooks demeaned himself most nobly
t
j during its progress. The vote was iaI
ken on Monday, and stood?yeas 121, nsiys
| 05. So the motion to expel was lost, there
: being less than two-thirds in favor of it.
I A resolution was then proposed to pass a
i vote of censure upon him and also upon
! Messrs. lv'itt and Kdmundson, pending
! which Col. Brooks resigned his seat, lie
may, therefore, we presume, be expected to
! return to his constituents in a few days,

Sinco writing the above, we sec it reported
tliat Gov. Adams has ordered an election
to be held on Monday, 2Sth inst.
Mr. Buchanan and Slavery.
j Under this head we have observed, with
great satisfaction, in several recent issues of
tlie Charleston Mercury, as many very able
and successful articles in vindication of Mr.
Buchanan, the Democratic candidate for
i lll? ll, wl?n,.v f ?l.~ -1 I-'
v..~ x v iiuwuM, iiuiu tuc ui r rccsoilism.
The Mercury was perhaps the
fiercest, ami certainly the ablest, oppoi
ncnt of the Convention party in this
I State, but was about the first to endorse
the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention.
If there was any doubt at all
that South Ca o'ina wcu'd vote
for Huchanan, the labors of this able and
highly influential journal would be especially
valued by the friends of the nominees;
and even as il is, we are gratified to see it
entering so zealousy into the canvass. We
shall expect it, after Buchanan shall have
given us (as we have no doubt he will) another
Picrce administration, to go in equally
zealous for a representation in the next
National Convention, which is to meet in
! Charleston in 18G0.
| AVc intended to have republished the
| entire series of the Mercury's articles, but
' as our space usually devoted to politics is
I pretty well taken up, we only present the
"summing up," wjth which they close. It
is as follows
In 1856, Mr. Buchanan advocated' nnd
voted for a bill to preveut the transmission
of incendiary publications through the mails.
lie advocated and voted for the admission
of Arkansas.
He opposed and denounced petitions for
the abolition of slavery in the District of
Columbia.
In 1837, he voted for Mr. Calhoun's resolutions,
which etnbraced a complete, conclusive
and direct assertion of the constitutional-rights
of the States, of slavery, and
of the obligations of Congress to "strengthen
/andsg.tipbold" the institutions of the
South. ... ;

Washington, July 10th, 185G.?The
passage of the River Bills over the veto of
the President seeins to ho peculiarly gratifying
to Gen. Cass. After leading the
charge upon the veto in the Senate, he
made his appearance to-dav in the TTon?w> nf
Representatives to witness the contest there.
The struggle was short and decisive, as the
majority was over two-thirds of the whole
House in favor of the bills, .notwithstanding
the President's veto.^
'The trial of the Honorable Preston S.
Brooks took place on Tuesday last, before
the Judge of the Criminal Court of this District,
and he was fined 8300. This judgment
of the Court has given mortal offence to
the Black Republicans, who were anxiously
.Miticipaling imprisonment. The fine was
of no moment to th^tn, ns they were perfectly
satisfied the amount, whatever it
imgni ue, wouiu nov pe paid out of Col.
Brooks' pocket. Their vengaence was only
to be appeased by .incarceration, by some
punishment from which he could not be relieved
by his State or her gallant citizens.
Th^y have been foiled, however, and they are
gnashing their teejj\.at the escape of their
victim.'^ Co). Brocks' speech before the
Court, in his own defence, is regarded as a
model specimen ,of eloquence and good
taste.
The House resolution volative to Col.
Brooke, come up yesterday for consideration,
and the debate was opened by Mr.
Clingman, of N. G. who reviewed all the

certain member had jumped over bis desk
during iho debate, and attacked a fellow
member for words spoken in debate, and
that this same assaulting member was voted
for and elected Clerk of the present Congress
hy the entire Black Republican vote.
This strange inconsistency ho wished the
friends of the resolution, proposing lo expel
Col. lirook-% lo explain. Mr. Cling>nan
announced his position to be one who
never sought dillicultios, but that the weather
was too warm for him to innku .inv ox
?-J ?
ertion to gut out of the way of one, if any
gentleman was electioneering lorn fight.
Mr. Clingman was followed by Mr. Bingham,
of Ohio, who delivered a written ami
committed speech of great violence, during
which ho spoke of "violated oaths," and
tin; "crime of perjury,"?adding, however,
that he made no personal attack upon Col.
lhooks, for whom he had the highest esteem.
Col. Brooks roco, amid great excitement
in thy Hall, and asked Mr. Bin'rlmm if l>n
c -- ,,v
applied, in ntiy manner, tlic term of peijury
to Iiim. Mr. 15. promptly responded that
such a thing never entered his mind. This
was pronounced satisfactory, much to the
relief of the House ami crowded galleries.
Col. James L. Orr was next assigned tin:
floor, and took up the report of the commi
reporting the resolution, and not only
riddled the report itself, hutsenred and lacerated
the political hucksters who had manufactured
it for electioneering purposes. Col.
< >rr also argued the powers and privileges
of Congress, and showed from precedent and
authorities that there was no jurisdiction in
the House over Col. Brooks' case. Col.
< >rr, in reply to a question propounded by
a member of the Black Republican party,
said that whenever he became personally
offensive in debate to any gentleman, he
could always be found at his desk, at his
room, or on the. avenue, and he promised
to claim no privileges of the House.
During the debate inanv Senators occu?'.

Mr. I Sutler.
It is evidently the purpose* of the negio
worshippers (n inllntnc the public mind at
home as nuirh as possible, hut to avow a
purpose on the floor not lo offend, and thus
escape chastisement. The debate will probably
continue there a few days, but will
then end in smoke. Jvashoe.

English journals that the light is breaking
in upon those who were so loudly defending
Mr. Crainpton. In addition to the evidence
furnished l>y Mr. Marry of the propriety
of the course of our government, the
excitement of the people of England gave
abundant inducements- to them to change
their tone towards the United States.
