THEODORE TILTON, Esq.
This was followed by an editorial article sustaining and
vindicating Mr. Sumner’s bill. It began:--
“Yes. Mr. Sumner has our vote. He has always had it; he is
always likely to have it. ‘How did Roger Sherman vote?’
asked our forefathers. They believed it was safe to vote
with Roger Sherman. It is just as safe to vote with Charles
Sumner.”
