as the will of the House that every petition, memorial, resolution, Wilson's Rise and Fall of Slave Power, 1.395. proposition, or paper, touching or relating, in any way or to any extent whatever, to slavery or the abolition thereof, shall on presentation, without any further action thereon, be laid upon the table, without being debated, printed, or referred. The preamble was voted in detail, being opposed, in varying minorities, by the fire-eaters, represented by Wise, of Virginia On Dec. 17, Wise was called to order by the Speaker for a mere allusion to the doctrine that it is constitutional to abolish slavery in the District. Such, under the new gag, was freedom of speech even for a pro-slavery extremist in Congress. In this same speech Wise embodied sections 2 and 4 of the Atherton preamble in his objection to receiving a memorial for the recognition of Haytian independence, viz., because it is but part and parcel of the English scheme set on foot by Garrison, and to bring

his topic being Mobs and Education,—brought him a second (daylight) assault as he issued from the Music Hall, and made his return home a street fight. On the same day, in Brooklyn, Henry Ward Beecher had to be guarded by Lib. 30.203. police in Plymouth Church. In Philadelphia, George William Curtis, engaged to lecture on Honesty in a lyceum course, was suppressed by the joint apprehensions Lib. 30.209. of the Mayor and the owners of the hall. For all this, the movement went on. On December 17 the Secession Convention opened its sessions with prayer in Charleston, and with the Palmetto flag flying over all the city and harbor save at Fort Moultrie. On December 20, it passed an ordinance of secession based primarily Lib. 30.207, 209. on the violation of Constitutional rights by the passage of Personal Liberty laws—i. e., on the statutory achievements of the Garrisonian abolitionists. In place of quoting the language of the ordinance regarding the nature of the compact alleged

er, who is mentioned, was a leading editor in the district, and had opposed Cushing, but was ready to support Whittier. Mr. Kittredge, also mentioned, was another rival candidate. The letter is dated East Parish, Wednesday morning, and was probably written in August, 1832. Since conversing with you yesterday, a new objection to our project has occurred to me,--the Constitution requires that the Representative shall be twenty-five years of age. I shall not be twenty-five till the 17th of December. So that I would not be eligible at the next trial in November. This, you will see, gives a different aspect to the whole affair. Perhaps, however, if the contest is prolonged till after the next time, the project might be put in execution. Suppose you advocate a holding on to Mr. C. in your Newburyport letter ? Suppose, too, that you nominate in your paper Mr. Cushing without any one-sided convention? After the trial in November, you can then use the arguments in favour of our p

orrow for Webster! The eulogies in the Senate on Mr. Webster were delivered by John Davis, Butler, Seward, and Stockton; Sumner did not speak. He wrote later to Mr. Bigelow: The brave Southern voices failed on the Webster day. Badger skulked in the lobby; Clemens and Mason were both silent. The South would never give him their votes,—look for their voices. To-day has exposed the pettiness of the old parties in excluding Hale, Chase, and myself from committees. To Theodore Parker, December 17:— I was pained more than I can tell by Seward's course in swelling the Webster tide. By his eulogy in the Senate. I pleaded with him not to do it; so did his colleague. It is incomprehensible to me. From day to day, in conversation with me, he had hoped that we might be spared any such day of humiliation. I await the corrected edition of your sermon, On Mr. Webster. which has produced everywhere a profound impression. The writers for the Washington Union have all read it;

rted fully a banquet given to Brooks at Ninety-six, with speeches from himself, Toombs, Butler, and Governor Adams. Brooks spoke of himself as in his deed the type and representative of the entire South, but did not treat it as avenging Butler. Keitt, who had been re-elected, took his oath a few days later. Brooks's triumph was short-lived. He came to Washington at the opening of the next session, in December, but he was not there at its close. He made a speech early in the session, December 17, on the slavery question, which, though fully Southern in spirit, was not intemperate in language. The next month he took a severe cold, from which no fatal effects were at first apprehended; but it turned into a violent croup, or acute inflammation of the throat, resulting in sudden strangulation, from which, struggling for breath, he died suddenly, Jan. 27, 1857, in intense pain, after having, as it is stated (no physician being at hand), clutched his throat as if to tear it open.

en devotedly kind to me. They made me occupy their room, much to my bodily comfort, but to the great disquiet of my mind, as I hated much to inconvenience them. My son has now a very eminent position.... God bless the house and all in it. December 17. The Old South Chapter of D. A.R.'s, met in the real Old South Church; there was much good speaking. I recited my Battle Hymn and boasted my descent from General Marion, the Swamp Fox, saying also, When, eluding the vigilance of children and flew home for his violin, Schelling sat down at the piano, and the two played Bach for her and to her delight. The occasion was memorable she says. Returning from New York, she was able to attend the Whittier Centennial at Haverhill. December 17.... Sanborn came to take me.... I have been praying to be well for this occasion, my last public engagement for some weeks. I am thankful to have been able, at my advanced age, to read this poem at the Whittier Celebration and to be assured b
