Full Text Transcription

[Pointing Finger] Our exchanges are teeming with accounts of the state of affairs at Washington and in Kansas, and commentaries thereon. We have not room for the extracts we would like to give. Most of the papers of the Slave Democracy are constrained for decency sake to condemn the brutal attack on Sumner. The Statesman, however, maintains a dignified silence. It ought to approve and defend the act, if it will not condemn. Silence may be misconstrued.
