Coming Events Cast Their Shadows
Before"

In view Of recent events, the following
extracts from the speech of Senator
Sumner. delivered in the Senate, MAY
10Th and Goth, 1856, have peculiar and
striking interest. Alluding to the fraud
and violence perpetrated with the aid
and encouragement of the Government,
upon the people of Kansas, with the
purpose Of forcing slavery upon the
Territory, he said - Washington CAyon-
iele
But this enormity, vast beyond COM
parison, swells to dimensons Of wicked
ness which the imagination tolls in vain
to grasp, when it is understood that for
this purpose are hazarded the horrors OF
intestine fend. not only in this distant
Territory, but everywhere throughout
the country. Already the muster has
begun. The strife is no longer local,
but national Even now, while speak
portents hang on all the arches OF hcav-
en-, threatning to darlxen al the broad
land, which already yawns with the
mutterings of civil war.
The fury of the propagandists OF sia-
very and the calm determination OF their
opponents are now difYused from the
distant Territory over wide spread com
munities and the whole country, in alf
its extent, marshalling hostile divisions
and foreshadowing strife which, unless
happily averted by the triumph OF free
dom, will become war-fratricidal, par
ricidal war-with an accumulated wick
edness beyond the wickedness Of any
war in human annals, justly provoking
the ayenging judgment Of Pro idencc
and the ayenging pen of history. and
constituting strife, in the language OF
