Sumner in his Seat.Cleveland, Ohio, Plain Dealer [Democratic](10 June 1856)
We see that Senator Sumner is not only in
his seat but is engaged in debate with Senator
Douglas and others. Wonder if he was much
hurt. It is now asserted that Brooks twitched
him out of his chair on to the floor, and did not
strike him afterwards. It has also been decided
that as Senators are not to be called to account
for words spoken in debate elsewhere
than in the Senate the caning was strictly
constitutional.
