C. Edwards Lester, Life and public services of Charles Sumner: Born Jan. 6, 1811. Died March 11, 1874., Section Fifth: Senatorial career. (search)
here was any dog in the Constitution? The Senator did not seem to bear in mind, through the heady currents of that moment, that, by the false interpretation he has fastened upon the Constitution, he has helped to nurture there a whole kennel of Carolina bloodhounds, trained, with savage jaws and insatiable scent, for the hunt of flying bondmen. No, sir, I do not believe that there is any kennel of bloodhounds, or even any dog, in the Constitution of the United States. But, Mr. President, sinow of none whose public career I hold more worthy the full and cordial approbation of his constituents than his. Jefferson Davis, on the same occasion, wrote: I have only to express to you my sympathy with the feeling which prompts the sons of Carolina to welcome the return of a brother who has been the subject of vilification, misrepresentation, and persecution, because he resented a libellous assault upon the representative of their mother. Nor were they alone Southern men who joined in thi

No, sir, I do not believe that there is any kennel of bloodhounds, or even any dog, in the Constitution of the United States. But, Mr. President, since the brief response which I made to the inquiry of the Senator, and which leaped unconsciously to my lips, has drawn upon me various attacks, all marked by grossness of language and manner; since I have been charged with openly declaring my purpos

Mr. Mason, in reply to an invitation to attend a public dinner in honor of Mr. Brooks, after referring to his social and political intercourse with their able and justly honored representative, adds: I know of none whose public career I hold more worthy the full and cordial approbation of his constituents than his. Jefferson Davis, on the same occasion, wrote: I have only to express to you my sympathy with the feeling which prompts the sons of Carolina to welcome the return of a brother who has been the subject of vilification, misrepresentation, and persecution, because he resented a libellous assault upon the representative of their mother. Nor were they alone Southern men who joined in this formal indorsement. Mr. Buchanan, the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, referring to Mr. Sumner's speech, characterized it as the most vulgar tirade of abuse ever delivered in a representative body; and added that though Mr. Brooks was inco
