Statistics for occurrence #1 of “Mr. Webster” in chapter 24, page 202 of Edward L. Pierce, Memoir and letters of Charles Sumner: volume 2:
...will see that Mr. Madison thought it wrong to admit in the Constitution the idea that there could be property in men.
I hope you have seen some very excellent articles in the New York American on Mr. Webster 's despatch.
They are written with feeling and knowledge, and contain a great deal of apt criticism and powerful truth.
Ever sincerely yours, Charles Sumner.
