1t was some years since Mr.. Sumner
had raised his voice in the Assembly to
which he belongs. The results which
followed his last onslaught on slavery
are still in the remembrance Of every
one. In 1856, when the Uuion was
sgitated bv the contest between Buch
auan and Fremont, and party spirit was
at its highest, Mr.. Summer delivered an
anti-slavery speech almost IS strong a.
that Of the other day. A Mr.. Brooke, a
member Of the Lower House, exaxpera-
ted by Summers language, and perhaps
urged on by rowdy friends, ferocioufly
assaulted him while he WAS sitting quiet
ly in his chair, inflicted such injuries a.
endangered Mr.. Summers lite, and
forced him to retire for time from pub.
lie affairs. Brooks has since gone to his
account, aud We need say no more oi
him but the Senator from Massachu
sets has not learned temperance from
the incident which nearly ended his
days. The speech which produced the
assault was extensively acrimonious, tu,
the last one seems entirely to ovcrtop it.
The Southern gentry pride themselves
on the possession Of high and what are
called "chivalrous" qualities. Mr.. Sum.
ner, knowing this, makes an Grafton On

murderer; but Mr.. Sumner ought to
know that it is immoral as we'll as un
statesmanlike to provoke men of violen,
temper, and that by 90 doing be onI,
presses down the yoke still closer on thu
neck Of the slave. But he puts himself

We must, in the name Of English ab

foolish and vindictive harangues
Scarcely has the frenzy caused by John
Browns outrage began to die away than
ont comes Mr.. Sumner with = speech
which will set the whole South in a
flame. We can we'll believe that the
prospects OF the Republican party have
been already damaged by it. MI. Sum.
oer is one Of that Glass Of politicians who
should be muzzled by their friends.
The men who can in personal irritabili-
ty so forget the interests Of great cause
is its worst enemy. Slavery existed on
the American continent long before the
Assembly Of which Mr.. Sumner is a
member. On it depends, CT 10 supposed
to depend, the prosperity Of half the
Union; the looms OF Lancashire and
Normandy, as we'll as these Of M. Sum
ner's own State, are supplied BY slave
grown cotton, and hundreds of millions
Of Northern dollars are invested in slave
worked plantations. Slavery, with it's
roots thus deep 10 the soil, 10 not to b.
rooted up by any peeuish effort Of rhet-
oric; and we may predic: that the man
who frs. gains victory for the cause Of
abolition will be Of very different temper
