No Title.Columbus, Ohio, State Journal [Republican](24 May 1856)
[Pointing Finger] The reader will not fail to look at the
Telegraphic head for the latest news from Washington.
Both the House and the Senate seem
to be awakened to the necessity of doing
something to avert the public indignation, although
in the House, it will be seen, the Slaveholders --
as in the case of Herbert for murdering the
Irish servant -- tried to dodge the inquiry
proposed by Mr. Campbell's resolution. In the
Senate, it will be noticed, the committee was
appointed by ballot, and Gen. Cass, who had
just exhibited himself in hostility to Mr. Sumner,
being made chairman. If he has any sense of
decency remaining in his dotage he will
decline.
We hear of threats, but of no farther actual
attempt at murder, on the part of Members of
Congress, than those already chronicled. To
match the violence in Kansas, there should be
a continuance of the bloody tragedy at Washington.
The Statesman is dumb over these outrages.
Does it approve of them?
