bellion against the lawful authority OF

of the book would be cut OF place here;
but. secondly, We note MIR. Fiskc's ac-

specimen of the books inspiration. He
says pages. Si3-3iD:
In 1856 Charles Sumner, Senator from
Massachusetts,, made speech OF an ex-
asperating character, containing some
personal illusions TO Senator Butler, of
South Carolina. which were not In good
taste. Soon afterwards, Preston Brooks.
a representative from South Carolina,
and nephew of Butler. came up behind
Sumner, while he was absorbed in work
at his deck in the Senate chamber, and
struck him repeatedly on the head with
n stout cane. Sumner was made dan
gerousIy i'll, and did not regain his health
for three years. A motiop/was made TO
expel Brooks from Congress for this afro
cious and cowardly act but it failed
TO secure the needful two thirds vote;
then he resigned his seat, and was in
