The people of Worcester, Mass., have been made indignant at the reception of the following [telegraphic] despatch by the President of the “American Council” in that city:
“ALEXANDIRA, Va., May 31.—To the President of the American Council, Worchester. Your resolve to defend Massachusetts men in Congress from further outrages, at an hour’s notice, has induced this proposition:—
“We will meet any number you may choose, at any central point, with Sharpe’s rifles, to test your defence of blackguardism.
(Signed)
A COMMITTEE OF THE STATES’ RIGHTS CLUB OF ALEXANDRIA.
