Mr.. Summers speech on the barbarism of
slavery was very lengthy; the following are
the opening sentences: undertaking now,
| after n silence of more than four years on
this important subject, should suppress the
| emotions natural to such an occasion if did
not declare on the threshold my gratitude to
that Supreme Being, through whose benign
care am enabled, after much suffering and

ties here and to speak for the cause which is
SO near my heart. When | last entered into
this debate it BECAME my duty TO expose the
| crime against Kansas, and to insist upon the
immediate admission of that Territory as a
State of this Union with constitution for
bidding slavery. Time has passed, but the
question remains.

could intrude these into this chamber.

barbarous nature could attempt to WELD that
vengeance which belongs to the Lord. The
years that have intervened, and the tombs
that have opened since ! spoke, have their
voices too, which | can not fail to hear.
Besides what is any man among the living
l
ton before us. 1t is this alone which shall
discuss, and open the argument with the
easy victory which is found in charity"
| Mr. Sumner closed as follows: ....-.
''Thus, sir speaking for freedom in Kan
sas, / have spoken for freedom everywhere,
and for civilization, and as the less is con-
tained in the greater, so are all sciences, all
refnements, all charities, all delights of life
embodied in this cause. You may regret
but it will be only for to-day. The sacred
animosity between freedom and slavery car
end only in the triumph of freedom. The
same question will soon be carried before
that high tribunal supreme over the Senate
and Court where the judges will be counted
by millions or where the judgment rendered
will be the solemn charge of an aroused peo-
pie, instructing a new priest in the name o.
freedom, to see that civilization receives nc
detriment."
Mr.. Chesnut made brief response to Mr.
Summers speech, speaking of it as an extra.
