gs, misled partly by failure of memory and partly by the testimony of others, was probably mistaken in stating Winthrop's attendance. The testimony in support of Giddings's statement is given in his Life by Julian. Winthrop's defenders were not explicit in meeting the rest of Giddings's charge,—that he endeavored to persuade his colleagues to vote with him,—and on that point did not offer proofs. The Boston Atlas at once controverted Giddings's statement, Dec. 30, 1847; Jan. 27 and Feb. 3, 1848. and Giddings replied at length. Boston Whig, March 18. 1848; Boston Atlas, March 17. The Atlas rejoined in several articles. Winthrop defended himself in the House, Feb. 21, 1850. Addresses and Speeches, vol. i. pp. 642-645, 648-650. Adams and Sumner, instructed by Giddings, repeated in the Whig the latter's statement as to Winthrop's participation in the meeting. Forthwith the Atlas assailed Sumner, in successive articles, with coarse personalities. Dec. 30, 1847; Jan. 3, 27
