Hale's political attitude towards slavery, under the compromises of the Constitution, certainly had not been acceptable to the abolitionists; but his solitary courage amid a contemptuous and murderous pro-slavery body like the Senate of the United States deserved, and had always received, recognition in the Liberator.

I can't talk much, so let me say now a brief word with the pen. I knew you long before you ever heard of me, and often heard you speak—never without instruction and admiration. Three men now living have done New England and the North great service. They are quite unlike, but all are soldiers in the same great cause—Wm. L. Garrison, Horace Mann, and R. W. Emerson. You took the most dangerous and difficult part, and no soldier ever fought with more gallant hardihood, no martyr ever more nobly bore what came as the earthly reward of his nobleness. The great work of a great man— Himself, his character—that is sure to do its work though his special labors fail of immediate triumph. I am to thank you for what your character has taught me—it has been a continual Gospel of Strength. I value Integrity above all human virtues. I

He appeared very well informed with regard to the United States, and even with regard to the present proceedings in Massachusetts on the subject.

I must add that, though he stands
