Mr.. '8amnerss Speech.

We copy the following editorial from the
Louisville Commercial Of Tuesday:
Mr.. Sumner on yesterday did his best to
pay back the administration for the slight
which ne cOnceives was put upon him a
short time ago, he making heavy assault
upon the project of annexing San Domingo,
The time that the speech was made, and
the 0bstinacy with which the Senator in
sisted on his right to make it now, show the
feelings which actuated him. If he had
desil ed to give an impartial consideration
to the subject, he would have waited till
the report Of the commission, who have just
returned from the island, was made public,
and let his arguments and their infOrma-
ton 60 to the people together. He has pre-
ferred, however, to fOrestall that report,
and his speech is . labored effort to pre-
,judice the people, 80 that the report will get
but an Indifferent hearing.
The speech is devoted to making noun
tain out of q rather insignificant mole-hill.
The Senator tries to terrify the country by
proving to us that We have actually, by the
act of the President, been at war without
knowing it. After our recent experience in
more serious warfare, it will hardly be poe-
sible to arouse enough indignation against
the President ON that account to induce
much of disposition to impeach him. Aside
from the effort to direct popular anger to-
ward the President, the speech is re-
statement of former positions. 1t is neither
in manner nor matter calculated to increase
the reputation Of its author, and will rather
disappOint the expectation caused by the
general announcement that it was coming
