political career, and it remained through life one of the chief sources of his strength. Wendell Phillips, in This sketch of Sumner in Johnson's Encyclopedia, states his remarkable fascinating with young men. Although Sumner had thus far appeared almost wholly before audiences in New England, he had become well known by his printed addresses in the Middle and Western States, among antislavery people, and also among the Friends and others who were partisans of the Peace movement. G. W. Julian's Political Recollections, pp. 100, 102. Sumner published an article, in March, 1848, upon Henry Wheaton, Boston Advertiser, March 16, 1848. Works, vol. II. pp. 63-73. Sumner, when in Paris in 1836, entertained the purpose of competing for a prize on the history of the law of nations since the Peace of Westphalia, which had been offered by the French Academy of Moral and Political Science, but his plan of travel interfered with his entering the competition.

digiously impressed. A letter from Sumner describing this and other meetings in Massachusetts which were addressed by Giddings is printed in the latter's Life by Julian, p. 247. and he assisted in arranging other meetings in July. The popular insurrection against the nominations made at Baltimore and Philadelphia seemed formidesses. The speakers asserted fundamental rights and universal obligations, and in their appeals and asseverations sought the sanctions of the Christian faith. Julian's Political Recollections, pp. 60, 61. Regular meetings were held in the Park under the tent in the early morning of each day of the session, at which prayers werlavery party, and denounced the Free Soilers who had left them, as renegades and apostates, and in some parts of the North invoked against them the mob spirit.

ession he read a letter from S. C. Phillips declining to be again the candidate for governor, and remarked, as he finished the reading, that it seemed to him very difficult to spare its author. He served on the committee on resolutions, and was again placed on the State committee. Phillips was, against his request, made again the candidate for governor. The resolutions and speeches all denounced the Compromise, and demanded the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law. Adams, Burlingame, and George W. Julian, of Indiana, were among the speakers. Late in the afternoon Sumner made a special containing the germ of the one which he delivered later at Faneuil Hall. The Free Soilers put in the foreground the issue of approving Webster's support of the Fugitive Slave law and his repudiation of the Wilmot Proviso. His change of front was referred to then and later, without reserve, and with all plainness of speech. Traitor to liberty! a Benedict Arnold! Lucifer fallen! were descriptions ofte

ard, disappointed at the rejection of his counsels, saw clearly that the Whigs, by defying the antislavery sentiment, had made their success impossible. He had, as Adams thought, been looking forward to the leadership of his party in 1856; but its present rout, rather than defeat, clouded his future in that direction. The Free Soil national convention at Pittsburg in August, of which Wilson was president, and Adams and Giddings were members, nominated John P. Hale for President, and George W. Julian for Vice-President. Adams on his way home wrote to Sumner, August 15, from Niagara Falls: My Pittsburg visit has done me good, by convincing me that the movement is more stern and earnest than ever, whilst it is growing more practical every day. The canvass, as compared with others before and since, was languid. As between the two leading parties, there were no principles or policies at stake; and the only inspiration of the Free Soilers was an undoubting faith in the justice of th

Giddings, when he entered Congress in December, 1838, observed that Northern members, from fear of the Southern men, were diffident, taciturn, and forbearing. Julian's Life of Giddings, p. 52. The time had come—it had long ago come—for Northern men to assert their full equality, and maintain at every hazard their right to the nomination. The assault on him was in the front of the political agitation of that year, and appealed to popular feeling more even than the outrages in Kansas. Julian's Political Recollections, p. 153. Brooks appeared before the Circuit Court of the District, July 7, to answer to the charge of an assault on Sumner. The admPresidential contest had ever so touched the popular heart, or so lifted up and ennobled the people by the contagion of a great and pervading moral enthusiasm. Julian's Political Recollections, p. 152. When Congress met, the Republicans assumed a bolder front. They had carried the House, and were shortly to have twenty senato

their interest in his career, their admiration of his courage, their gratitude to God for his recovery from the assassin's blow. In no statesman's correspondence have there ever been such tributes from the heart. As many as two hundred and fifty approving letters came to Sumner within a month, and were placed among his files, from some of which extracts are given in notes to the speech.
