Horace Mann wrote to a young man in whom he had been interested as a boy,—George E. Bakeon against his severe canons of criticism. He cut to pieces a lecture which Horace Mann sent him for revision, and an impartial and competent journalist who happenee it covered with his pencil marks says that every change was an improvement.

Channing, and Bigelow concurred in a report drawn by Dr. Channing, which sustained the course of the Society and its secretary; while Dr. Howe, Sumner, and Mann joined in a minority report drawn by Dr. Howe. Sumner assisted in correcting the proofs. Sumner made ineffectual efforts at business meetings of the Society to have both reports printed with the annual report for 1846, but was defeated by the p

Sumner again plied Mann in 1849 with earnest entreaties to take his stand openly with the Free Soilers. A year later Mann took his place with the Free Soilers. He wrote Sept. 20, 1849:— I have sent you our State Address, A Free Soil State Address, drawn by Sree Soil principles. On the other hand, Free Soilers in Massachusetts supported Mann for Congress, although he was at the time a voter and candidate of the Whig part
