Senator Wilson and Brooks.Springfield, Illinois, State Journal [Republican](4 June 1856)
Washington, June 2.
Every one here thought when the stand taken
by Senator Wilson was made known that a rencontre
would be the immediate consequence; the
sequel to the correspondence should therefore be
published. Col. Lane called upon Mr. Wilson
on Friday morning after the receipt of Mr.
Wilson's reply, and answered from Mr. Brooks
that no assault upon him was contemplated, and
that he and his friends might disarm. Mr.
Wilson accepted these assurances, and appeared
in the avenue without arms. The whole affair
is over with, so far as these two are concerned.
