Everett, 1792-1847. as appears by a letter to Sumner just before leaving the country for his mission to China, where he died a year later, named Sumner without his knowledge to Mr. Buchanan, then Secretary of State, for the post of chief clerk in his department, which it was expected would soon be made that of assistant secretary of State. The circumstance shows Mr. Everett's appreciation of Sumner's character and attainments. Sumner had friendly relations with Henry C.

Journalist and scholar, living in Cambridge, but afterwards removing to New York city. and Richard Hildreth the historian were at times contributors or editors; but after a temporary management by one or more of these gentlemen, it usually fell back into the editorial control of Elizur Wright, who was erratic and headstrong, and addicted to so many novelties and hobbies of his own as to exclude any considerate treatment of public questions or effective support of the Free Soil public men.
