Columbus, Ohio, State Journal [Republican]

(26 May 1856)

[Pointing Finger] Our exchanges are teeming with accounts of the state of affairs at Washington and in Kansas, and commentaries thereon. We have not room for the extracts we would like to give.

It ought to approve and defend the act, if it will not condemn. Silence may be misconstrued.
