Charles sumner is not too coetlya sacrifice to bring
this ration to serse of the value Of her liberties and
tie lideousr ess of the monster nquity she has obE
nurtured in her lifeblood.
Those mistaken riends Of his who would faia sec

II any such killing manning were done BY their
agency. He shudcers at the thought that BurApgsme

To Dr. Ja,kson's suggestion tina. the same principle
which permitted him TO DE- tend himself when attacked
should induce him to punish the offense, be promptly

Charles Sumner never can seek to strike Preston
Brooks or ary of bis cowpeers but that eongston Of
the snsky sorceress who sits at the adamsnne gates,
those scaly folds which have wrapped themselves
around the Liberties Of our country and the hope Of
mapkini. and is surely and steadily crushing them out
that long lived monster who has fed upon the chill
dren Of men since the days Of Abel-she against
whom the armies of Heaven gird their armor, may
look for telling blows from his good right arm, should
he get strength to WELD his weapons.
That he may soon be able 10 realize his inpatient
wish. and throw himself into the front Of Freedoms
battle. nobody can wish earnestly than l; bat

these cautious steps which appear to fall upon the top
