The Meeting To-Morrow Evening.Albany, New York, Evening Journal [Republican](5 June 1856)
The Capital of the Empire State should give
emphasis to her voice TO-MORROW EVENING.
The assault upon Senator Sumner was a National
outrage. It was a blow aimed at the fundamental
principle of Constitutional Liberty. In
cannot be too emphatically condemned. Every
Citizen of every Party is equally interested in the
independence and dignity of the Senate, and in
the inalienable and vital right of Freedom of
Debate. To tolerate or wink at a violation of
that right, is to be false to the Constitution and
to the Republic.
The names attached to the Call for this meeting
are significant. They indicate unparalleled
unanimity. Men of all Parties are found acting
together, because men of al Parties feel alike the
insult embodied in the outrage.
The names of the Speakers who have consented
to address the meeting, equally with those
which are attached to the Call, are significant.
They embody men of all classes and professions,
as well as of all Parties. The occasion will be
one of deep interest. Let the Capitol Park be
filled with earnest men, that the language uttered
may be emphatic.
