* "The Barbarism of Slavery" speech
* Charles Sumner
Just a few days following Charles Sumner's historic & impassioned anti-slavery speech "the barbarism of slavery", reaction from fellow Congressmen is reported in this newspaper. One article: "The Republican Press on Sumner's Speech" has near the beginning: "...all agree in opinion about Sumner's speech...With singular unanimity they deprecate its tone, though they do not repudiate its principles....for they believe, with Sumner, that slavery is an evil and a sin, & they belong to a party which is organized to abolish it..." with much more. (see)
Page 3 has an article reacting to Sumner's speech as well (see). Eight pages, a bit irregular at the spine, nice condition.
