speech on Mr. Webster in Faneuil Hall, March 25, 1850. Sumner's interest in Crawford was unabated. He sought commissions for him in Boston, commended his works in He wrote Mr Winthrop, M. C., March 15, 1846. at length in favor of including Crawford's name in a resolution of Congress ordering an equestrian statue of Washingtonthe statue of Washington, to be erected by the State of Virginia in Richmond. Crawford came to the country in the winter of 1849-1850, and passed some time at Richmos unceasing attention to everything concerning his success. Sumner wrote to Crawford, Feb. 9, 1850— I give you joy in your great success. This engagement wiu constant triumph. Sumner wrote a notice of the award of the commission to Crawford, which was published in the Boston Transcript, Feb. 11, 1850. He wrote to George Sumner, February 18:— This order definitely fixes Crawford's position in art. He had become uneasy, fretful, discontented, irresolute, and almost Ishmael

The comparative advantages of the two systems in promoting the prisoner's reformation, keeping him in good physical and mental condition, and giving him useful industrial training, were contested points. The separate system, first tried in Pennsylvania, drew the attention of European philanthropists and publicists, and their reports after personal inspection were uniformly in its favor. Among the visitors were Beaumont and Tocqueville in 1831, and Demetz and Blout in 1837, from France; Crawford, in 1834, from England; and Julius, in 1836, from Prussia. It was established in Belgium, where it is still continued in full vigor; but elsewhere in Europe the congregate or some mixed system now prevails. In this country the separate system survives only at Philadelphia. The Boston Prison Discipline Society was founded in 1825, at a time when the discussion as to the merits of the two systems had begun. Early in its existence its reports, prepared by its secretary, Rev. Louis Dwight,

, Mr. Marcy, is a person of wisdom and experience, ignorant of foreign affairs but he knows his ignorance, and in this self-knowledge is his strength. I doubt not he will master most of the questions. Caleb Cushing is a dangerous character, who believes in war. He thinks that the country needs the occupation of a war, and I fear he will try to secure it for us. Guthrie, the Secretary of the Treasury, is a tall, large-limbed, strong-minded Kentuckian. . . . The papers occasionally announce Crawford's progress in his great work, and I always read everything of the kind with interest. Give him my regards; also his wife. Where are you now? I imagine you on the Alban heights, in some spacious apartments, enjoying fresh breezes, and the beautiful lake, with books and pencil, with pleasant friends, perhaps under the same roof, and with that simple delectable Orvieto for a sherbet. Tell me of Rome, of yourself, wife, and children; of art, and particularly the statue of your father. Giv

honor. New York Tribune, July 10. One statement made by him showed that he was not above falsehood. It was that his first blow was a mere tap to put Sumner on his guard. Around him were Butler, Mason, and other Southern friends. The judge, Crawford by name, sentenced him to pay a fine of three hundred dollars. Crawford was said to be a Pennsylvania Democrat of the Buchanan type. Boston Atlas, July 11.

This paltry fine, without imprisonment, shows the pro-slavery temper of the federal courts in Washington at that day. The National Intelligencer, July 9. condemned the sentence as inadequate. Two clergymen of the city, Dr. Pine and Dr. Sunderland, condemned the assault. Aiken, a colleague of Brooks, was one of Dr. Pine's hearers. Sumner did not attend the trial, and disclaimed all interest in the proceeding's. Works, vol. IV p. 268.

His time was well occupiedhad never heard of him; he is perhaps dead. Next called at two different hotels to inquire for Crawford, but could hear nothing of him. Enjoyed part of the Rivoli, the Palais Royal, and the Boulevardhave a beautiful apartment from which I can see all the movement of Paris. At last found where Crawford lodged, but could not see him. His wife told me of his condition, which is sad. I went away sorrooks, and then tired myself at the Concert Musard. March 29. Beautiful day; called again at Crawford's; his wife told me that he had expressed a desire to see me. The diseased eye was covered with Before he came into the room, his faithful Italian servant, when I told him I was a friend of Crawford for eighteen years, fell on his knees before me, and poured out his affection and his grief for

y, Rogers, Overbeck, Cranch, Lehman, Hosmer, Ives, and Page; made a melancholy visit to that of Crawford, which still held the artist's unfinished works; gathered a stock of photographs at Macpherson'g to show you. Of course, in my wanderings I cannot forget the friends, one of whom is dead, Crawford. who initiated me in Rome; and that happiest summer of my life is revived in all that I now seeand give my love to Emelyn and to Edith, and kisses to the boys. To Dr. Howe, May 2:— Crawford's studio interested me much; but I was strongly of opinion that it would be best to abandon allf the sketches were completed by another hand, then the work would in great measure cease to be Crawford's. His well-filled studio testified to his active, brilliant career. To Me it was full of pecudio and talked with him about them; and he was also deeply interested that the sketches left by Crawford for the doors should be executed so as to uphold his fame. It was a great pleasure to me to be
