The Editor of the Democratic Review Dangerously Stabbed — published June 6, 1856

CINCINNATI, June 5.—Mr. George P. Buell, editor of the Democratic Review, published at Washington, made a speech last night in front of the Burnett House, denouncing the Know Nothings and the Abolitionists. He was interrupted by an individual in the crowd, and the matter finally came to blows. In the melee, Buell was stabbed in the back, the knife penetrating his lung and inflicting a dangerous wound. His condition this morning is critical, as his wound bleeds internally.
