neral who insults human nature. From the midst of his triumphs, I will drag him forward to receive the condemnation which such conduct deserves. This movement ended in something effectual. The Bill for Confiscation and Liberation being passed, was approved on the 17th of July, providing for the freedom of the slaves of Rebels; and all the enactments on this subject were embraced by the President in the First Proclamation of Emancipation, September 22, 1862. XXXV. As early as May 8, 1862, Mr. Sumner introduced a Resolution which was the beginning of a policy on his part steadily pursued to the end, prohibiting the names of victories over fellow-citizens from being inscribed on the regimental colors. It ended years after, as all the world knows—and Massachusetts too well—in covering that State with dishonor, and her Senator with undying glory;—her vote of censure was a stain which, however, she was able to wipe out before her great Senator was called to his reward.

After the capture of Williamsburg, May 6th, General McClellan having, in a dispatch, asked of the War Department whether he would be authorized in following the example of other Generals, to direct the names of battles to be placed on the colors of regiments, Mr. Sumner's Resolution was:— That in the efforts now making for the restoration of the Union, and the establishment of peace throughout the country, it is inexpedient that the names of victories obtained over ou

field, Mass., that able and always illuminated journal, in a memorial issue devoted chiefly to Mr. Sumner, prints a letter from him to a personal friend, dated March 20, 1873, in which, after alluding to his sickness, which he says goes back in its origin to injuries received seventeen years ago, he speaks as follows of his battle-flag bill: It seems to me unjust and hard to understand that my bill can be called hostile to the soldier or to the President, when it was introduced by me May 8, 1862, and then again Feb. 27, 1865, and when it has been commended by Gen. Scott, Gen. Robert Anderson, and Gen. Thomas, all good and true soldiers. If persons would only consider candidly my original convictions on this question, they would see how natural and inevitable has been my conduct. As if in such a matter I could have hostility or spite to anybody. I am a public servant, and never was I moved by a purer sense of duty than in this bill, all of which will be seen at last.

tried for treason and hung. People talk, said he, flippantly of the gallows as the certain doom of the rebels. This is a mistake. For weal or woe, the gallows is out of the question. It is not possible as a punishment for this rebellion. Speech, May 19. Works, vol. VII. p. 70. In the midst of all the passions of war Sumner maintained his serenity of mind. Looking forward to a time when soldiers now in hostile ranks would serve under the same colors, he offered a resolution, May 8, 1862, as pertinent to an inquiry of General McClellan, declaring it inexpedient that the names of victories obtained over our fellow-citizens should be placed on the regimental colors of the United States. Works, vol. VI. p. 499. Sumner's renewal of the proposition, Dec. 2, 1872 (Works, vol. XV. p. 255), and the censure passed upon him by the Legislature of Massachusetts and subsequently recanted, will be related hereafter. His colleague Wilson, as if to make a point, offered five days la

eplies. She as well as the duke thought him unjust in his reflections on Earl Russell, who, as they claimed, was after all friendly to our country, notwithstanding casual expressions which seemed the contrary, and who had in their view maintained faithfully the neutrality of England. The duchess's letters were always tender and sympathetic, glowing often with religious fervor. Of all Sumner's friends, not one at any period of his career had a deeper interest in his welfare. She wrote, May 8, 1862: My hope and prayer is that you may come out of the fiery trial stronger, freer, happier than before. I hope we may meet in this life again. Again, May 30, 1863: Your confidence in the overthrow of slavery is a blessed one to have, and God grant that your eyes may see the day! but his are the means, his the instruments. When you lay suffering and helpless, the cause made perhaps more progress than it may make by war; but it is impossible not to see that the cause is making way. God he

; but nothing can have happened, I believe. I never knew how much I loved Henry until to-night. Please don't show this letter to mamma and Carrie, because it will worry them too much. I ought not to write to you, but I can't help it. Give my love to mamma and Carrie and the rest, and tell them I was terribly out of sorts when I went away, because I was afraid our regiment had been fighting and I was not there. I ask them to excuse it. Another letter of Abbott's to a friend written May 8, 1862, exhibits also his intense longing for battle. O, we have hard luck! We shall never see a fight. But we have travelled miles upon miles, bivouacked, passed night after night sleepless, been cold, hungry, thirsty, and wet; and yet we are condemned to ceaseless inactivity for the rest of the summer, and are never to meet the foe. But the time was nearer at hand than the young soldier supposed. In General Banks's retreat from the Shenandoah Valley, May 24 and 25, 1862, the Secon
