And the intellectual rebuttle from the Senator from South Carolina? :^) Actually, he was a Representative, a cousin of the Senator, who was rather elderly.

No, I believe it was Senator Butler's nephew-Preston Brooks. Brooks was fairly young and much younger than Sumner.
What a disgrace. They couldn't challenge the truth of what Sumner said, so they beat him for it.
