tion. New York is thronged and busy as ever. Love to all our friends. Ever and ever yours, C. S To Dr. Francis Lieber, Columbia, S. C. Hudson, on the North River, Tuesday evening, Sept. 28, 1841. dear Lieber,—Here I am, imprisoned by the rain in the inn of a Yankee village. Longing now for companionship, I write to or he was their legal Gamaliel, and strutted in his oaths, and echoed to his descants on wines. . . . This morning, at seven o'clock, I took the boat up the North River, a noble stream, wanting only that element of which we were speaking yesterday,—association,—to be infinitely beautiful and interesting. West Point is a beauti all anxious to get you back in Boston; but nathless, I wish you to enjoy the autumn, as long as it is enjoyable, in journeying about. You may linger along the North River, stopping at various points of interest. Webster regretted missing you very much; but he promised himself the pleasure of showing you the hospitalities of Wa<

lled the Gap in the White Mountains to Portland, Me., and thence to Boston; then, on the Western Railroad, to Berkshire, in the western part of Massachusetts; again to Trenton Falls (you will not miss another sight of them); thence back to the North River; and, descending the river, stop at Catskill and at West Point. Is this not a good plot? Cannot you be present at the annual Commencement of Harvard University (our Cambridge), the last Wednesday in August? Story delivers a discourse on tm Webster since he has been Secretary; and some of them have my most unqualified admiration, both as compositions and as expositions of the law of nations. But where slavery occurs, then he falls like Lucifer! I note your programme for the North River; but I have been the length of that river three times, in the course of this summer, and my time is limited; so that I must see you in New York, in order to enjoy the last of you, and give you a parting God speed! Let me know when you sail.

th them, as at Prescott's, he sometimes joined in the game of blind-man's-buff. In September, after attending a wedding on Staten Island, he made a visit to the North River. He was first the guest of Mackenzie,—ever grateful to his defender,—and next, by the invitation of Mr. Harvey, passed four days at Hyde Park. Here had been tf which—the daughter of the Patroon—added distinguished personal charms to the scene. Of this day, of the cleverness and grace of the ladies he met during his North River visit, and of his horseback rides with fair companions, he wrote with the fervor of youth to friends at home. His hosts at Hyde Park parted regretfully with hi forgetting me. Believe me ever very sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. To Dr. Francis Lieber. Boston, Oct. 6, 1843. dear, dear Lieber,—My visit on the North River was full of delightful adventure. At Mackenzie's I enjoyed myself very much; was most happy to know his wife, whom I think beautiful, graceful, and refined.

put myself on the wing very soon, I shall be deprived of the pleasure—on which I have been dwelling during my whole illness—of a journey bringing with it variety of scene and air. From Berkshire my present intention is to go, by the way of the North River and New York, to Newport, where I shall breathe still another atmosphere, unlike that which enfolds the woody hills of Berkshire. Believe me, dear Mrs. Waterston, though this note comes so tardily, truly grateful for your kindness, and mosthire, where the atmosphere is particularly kindly and favorable to broken-down characters like myself. After a stay of a week or more among its breezy mountains, I count upon a visit to Albert at Newport, which I shall reach by the way of the North River and New York. Thus I shall try the two best airs of the land and of the sea. But this is enough, and perhaps too much about myself. You inquire what I think of the Philadelphia riots. My reply is easy. I am disgusted with the imbecility
