dvocacy. But the House of Lords has answered it in advance; though the question of indemnification is still left open. But I cannot doubt that England will treat this as she would treat the demand for the surrender of the fugitives.

His articles were admirable in spirit and matter. There is some professional learning which might have been introduced beyond what he embodied; but he handled the subject most ably. Judge Story tells me that, in delivering the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States on this recent slave question, Prigg v. Pennsylvania, 16 Peters's Reports, p. 539. he has declared that, by the law of nations, we cannot require the surrender of fugitives; thus throwing the weight of our highest tribunal upon that of the English House of Lords.

ionately yours, Charles. To Dr. Samuel G. Howe. Boston, May 31, 1844. dear Howe,—This will find you returned from Greece. I am glad that you have been there, if it were merely for the souvenirs and dreams of youth; but I doubt not that, in the present posture of affairs in Greece, you have been able to be of essential service there. Do tell me fully how Greece appeared. What do you think of the people, of their prospects for advancement in civilization, of their rulers, and of their King? I wonder that I did not visit Greece. I thought that I had not time enough. A month from my sojourn in Rome would have sufficed. But how pleasant is the memory of my Roman life!—the happiest days I have ever passed. I rose early,—six o'clock; studied Italian,—Dante, Tasso, and Macchiavelli; studied all works on art,—Lanzi, Vasari, De Quincy, &c.; visited galleries and churches; mused in the Forum; and, in the shadows of summer evenings, sat on the stones of the Colosseum. Art, liter

, Ohio, September, 1847, printed in Boston Whig, Oct. 7, 1847. The American Review, a magazine devoted to the defence of the principles of the Whig party, strongly condemned the action of the Whigs in voting for the bill. May, 1847, p. 435 (Charles King). The National Intelligencer, the national Whig organ at the capital, and more than any other journal of the time representing the party, immediately expressed disapproval of the support which the Whig members had given to the bill. Too late,encer Jan. 17, 1848, and has been approved by Von Holst in his History, vol. III. pp. 200-208. The division in the Massachusetts delegation upon the war bill, May 11,—John Quincy Adams and his four colleagues, Ashmun, Grinnell, Hudson, and King. Rockwell, who was absent, would have voted, if present, against the bill. who were present, as also Senator Davis, voting against it, and Winthrop and one colleague voting for it,—was for two months hardly referred to by the Whig journals of Bos

of New York communicated to him the sympathies of the people of that State. The public indignation found expression in meetings of citizens through the free States, as well in small communities as in great cities. An immense concourse of citizens assembled in the Broadway Tabernacle, in the city of New York. Those unable to gain admission held a meeting in the space in front of the Tabernacle. Among the officers and speakers were eminent lawyers, merchants, clergymen,—Daniel Lord, Charles King, W. C. Bryant, and Henry Ward Beecher. W. M. Evarts moved the resolutions which, after reciting with accuracy the circumstances of the assault, tendered to Sumner sympathy in the personal outrage; but as his grievance and wounds were not of private concern only, they recognized and resented every blow which fell upon his head as an insult and injury to our honor and dignity as a people, and a vital attack upon the Constitution of the Union. The series of resolutions thus ended, with a

the father to give his boy the college education he desired; so at fourteen, fresh from the common schools, Samuel entered as a clerk the banking house of Prime & King. While still a mere lad, an old friend of the family asked him what he meant to be when he came to man's estate. I mean to be one of the first bankers in the United States! replied Samuel. At the age of twenty-two he became a partner in the firm, which was thereafter known as Prime, Ward & King. In a memoir of our grandfather, the partner who survived him, Mr. Charles King, says:-- Money was the commodity in which Mr. Ward dealt, and if, as is hardly to be disputed, money be tMr. Charles King, says:-- Money was the commodity in which Mr. Ward dealt, and if, as is hardly to be disputed, money be the root of all evil, it is also, in hands that know how to use it worthily, the instrument of much good. There exist undoubtedly, in regard to the trade in money, and respecting those engaged in it, many and absurd prejudices, inherited in part from ancient error, and fomented and kept alive by the jealousies of ignorance and ind

We forget the name of another quaint personage, a retired sea-captain, who once gave a party to which she was allowed to go; but she remembered the party, and the unction with which the kindly host, rubbing his hands over the supper table, exclaimed: Now, ladies and gentlemen, help yourselves sang froidy! The roses and gooseberry bushes of the Newport garden once witnessed a serio-comic scene. There was another sea-captain, Glover by name, who had business connections with Prime, Ward & King, and who came to the house sometimes on business, sometimes for a friendly call. He was a worthy man of middle age and unromantic appearance; probably the eighteenyear-old Julia, dreamy and poetic, took no more notice of him than civility required; but he took notice of her, and one day asked her to walk out in the garden with him. Wondering much, she went. After some desultory remarks, the Captain drew a visiting-card from his pocket, wrote a few words upon it, and handed it to his young h

e. Still, I think I shall be glad to have made the journey when it is all over — I must be stronger than I was, for I bear fatigue very well now and at first I could not bear it at all. We went from Philadelphia to Baltimore, thence to Wheeling, thence to see the Manns at Antioch — they almost ate us up, so glad were they to see us. Thence to Cincinnati, where two days with Kitty Rolker, a party at Larz Anderson's — Longworth's wine-cellar, pleasant attentions from a gentleman by the name of King, who took me about in a carriage and proposed everything but marriage. After passing the morning with me, he asked if I was English. I told him no. When we met in the evening, he had thought matters over, and exclaimed, You must be Miss Ward! And you, I cried, must be the nephew of my father's old partner. Do you happen to have a strawberry mark or anything of that kind about you? No. Then you are my long-lost Rufus! And so we rushed into each other's confidence and swore, like trooper<
