No Title.Columbus, Ohio, State Journal [Republican](23 May 1856)
[Pointing Finger] The telegraphic despatches to-day will
be read with interest. In the Senate Mr. Sumner stirred up the bile of Douglas to no
ordinary degree, and developed the blackguard in him
rather more prominently than usual. Mr.
Mason, of Va., made himself ridiculous by his
pompous airs of attempted superiority. The truth
is known to every one who is conversant with
the men, that in all the elements of scholarship,
courtly bearing, and deportment,Mr. Sumner is
the peer of any man in the Senate. It is an old
game, this attempting to sneer down the Senators
from the North, but it is too late for it to
succeed. It is evident that the trio of Locofocos
did not make expenses by their attack.
