On the 20th day of May, 1856, Mr. Douglas indulged in the following language, in reply to Senator Sumner — the day on which he was... bludgeoned by Preston S. Brooks: " It is his object to provoke some of us to KICK HIM AS WE WoULD A DOG! A hundred times has he called the Nebraska Bill a swindle — an act of in- famy, and each time went on to illustrate the c mplicity of each man who voted for it, in perpetrating the crime. * * * How dare he approach one of these gentlemen, to give him his hand, alter that act?
