une 21, 1865, to maintain equal suffrage, at which Theophilus Parsons was in the chair, and Richard H. Dana, Jr., made the principal speech. Mr. Dana, who had been Sumner's critic, now came substantially to his position. Adams's Biography of Dana, vol. II. p. 333. Authentic reports from the South were in the mean time arriving, which verified the worst apprehensions concerning the President's policy, showing that it had revived the old slaveholding spirit, and was pressing heavily on Unionists, white and black. Sumner wrote very earnest letters to members of the Cabinet, urging them to arrest the President's course; but none of them in their replies gave him any satisfaction The replies from members of the Cabinet and of Congress are valuable for political history; but in this connection their tenor only can be indicated..The President was doing what Seward had advised, and what Welles and McCulloch cordially approved. Stanton was friendly enough to the principle of equal

regarded and loved as if they were brothers; and she closed the second with this sentence: Words are inadequate to express my thanks for all your goodness to me. The condition of affairs in the Southern States still required the attention of Congress. Three of the States—Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas—had not hitherto complied with the Acts of reconstruction so as to be admitted to representation in Congress, but applications for such admission were now pending. A spirit hostile to Unionists, white and black, was still, however, dominant in large sections of the South, and the rebel spirit was organized in Ku-Klux clans. The Legislature of Georgia—one of the States which had been recognized as having complied with those Acts and entitled to representation—had afterwards expelled all its colored members, while admitting to seats persons who were ineligible on account of former disloyalty under the fourteenth amendment. The first Act of this session of Congress was a thorough

pproval except in its last passage (Boston Journal, March 28 and 29). One passage near the end was not in harmony with the spirit of his effort, and that was inserted in his manuscript on the morning of the day he spoke. It was a comparison, or the suggestion of a comparison, between the President's proceedings with the ships and the Ku-Klux outrages at the South, with an intimation that the time and effort applied to schemes of annexation would, if properly directed, have saved Southern Unionists from harm. The comparison was not just or pertinent. The President had gone as far as any Republican could ask in suppressing violence at the South. He might not have paid due respect to the limitations of international law in his support of a pretender in San Domingo; he might, consciously or unconsciously, through the navy have menaced the sovereignty of Hayti; but personal injury to any one, least of all the assassinations and midnight outrages practised by the Ku-Klux clan, were fur
