The slaveholding population of Alexandria was aroused, and uttered against him threats of seizure, personal indignity, and murderous violence. The tidings of the mob spirit at the Capital brought a response from the North. George Livermore, a merchant of even temper and moderate views, expressed the general thought of Massachusetts when he wrote, June 3: Let the minions of the Administration and of the slavocracy harm one hair of your head, and they will raise a whirlwind which will sweep them to destruction. Joseph R. Hawley, then an editor at Hartford, since distinguished in War and peace, offered to go to Washington and stay by with revolvers, ready to play at the same game if anybody there or in Alexandria really meant to trouble the senator, or any other Free Democrat. Sumner, however, though receiving friendly cautions to be on his
