assault on Mr. Sumner should have been made on
the very day that the telegraphic dispatch reached
Washington that the House of Representatives OF
Massachusetts had repealed the Personal Liberty
bill IL may have been only coincidence, but
it was an odd one Day before yesterday afternoon
the House was startled by the announcement that
private telegraphie dispatch had been received
of this attack. motion WAS made at once to
take the matter up; but Mr.. Charles Hale OF
The DaiIy Advertiser, interposed and saved the
dignity of the House from detriment by 4 timely
remonstrance, which had the effect of putting

The less that is said about the Dignity of this
