Ger. Duryea in moving the resolutions, said that we
were in the midst of a revolution.
Thousands were outside attempting to gain ad-
mtance and meeting was organized in front OF the
CITY Hall. over which II. ~ ii DIT presided. 1t was
addressed by DR. McPhal, Henry Ward Beeeher, MIR;
Briggs of Ohio, Gen. Nye, Lucien Brdseye, Eiward
w. Fiske, Wessel s. Smith, and Ihomas H. hoIia ao.
The horror exprcsst at the crime in ashngton ws
undualifed, and the feeling OF the vast au'ory pIoAe
forth in tumultuous and nexpessee cheefs whenever
the name of Sumner was uttered.
In the Hall the resolutions adopted by one trc-
mendous aye.
MI WISsLOw was then introduced. We were met,
he said TO vindicate our outraged national character.
We were here az firm disciples OF Washington, the
father of our Constitution which had been outraged IN
the person of Senator Sumner. Cheers. Our Sena-
tor from Massachusetts,. Our Senator; for he was
ours as well as theirs Loud cheeringl The spirit
which struck down Charles Sumner IN Washng-

seen this power but il not until It began to smash
in the skulls of Senators that ne began to ind out
what they were driving at Mr.. Winslow referred to
Douglass reason why he DID not go 10 the rescue al
Sumner that &" his motives might be msconstrued.
IL meant he sad, that might inure bis prospects in
Cincinnati Ii the Democratic party were so mad as
10 nominate him, they would take care OF him at the
ballot.box. Enthusiastic cheerngl.

plainly when their liberty lost. In this country,
also The dav had gone by when public dishouor was
written on the brow Of the American Republic, when
that Senator from Massachusetts WHO had brought a
focal blaze of light 10 bear not only upon the literature
but upon the public life of the nation, was
struck down. The wounds gaped in his head as did
the wounds in great CTsars cloak. Ihat wound was

in the Moth started a streamlet flowing into an ocean
of indignation No wonder that the farmer flung his
