All the Courtesy.--Columbus, Ohio, State Journal [Republican](30 May 1856)
The South boasts all
the Chivalry: Witness the killing of an Irish
servant at Washington by a member of Congress,
and the attack on Sumner. Why not allow
them all the courtesy, as claimed by Mr.
Butler, of South Carolina, in his late display in
the Senate? Mr. Wilson said "his colleague,
Charles Sumner, had been stricken down by a
murderous assault." Mr. Butler: "You are a liar!" (A call to order.) Mr.
Butler again: "I call on the Senate to witness that I have
always been courteous in debate!" (The claim
is allowed unanimously by the Slave Aristocracy
and their humble tools, the Doughfaces.)
