Meeting at Brooklyn.--Columbus, Ohio, State Journal [Republican](4 June 1856)
The indignation
meeting held at Brooklyn was an ovation: The
Mayor presided. The large Hall in which
the people assembled would not begin to contain
the crowd. Another meeting was organized
in front of the City Hall. We have no
space for the resolutions or for a detail of
proceedings. We see that our friend Briggs, of
Cleveland, was called out and made an effective
speech.
Beyond the brief notices which the telegraph
brings, we do not pretend to keep pace with
the outburst of public indignation from one end
of the country -- (we should perhaps say Free
States, but that includes about all there is of
the country worth saving) -- from one end of
the country to the other, from Maine to the
Lakes. There seems -- there should be but one
sentiment pervading the minds of honorable
men who love and intend practically to sustain
our free institutions. That there are others,
only shows the presence of disease in the body
politic that needs eradicating.
