of the Legislature for Cambridge, the personal friend of Mr. Sumner:— Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen: I would not appear before you to-day to say a word, for I do not feel able to do it, and I can only say, Massachusetts has lost a Senator, the United States has lost a statesman, the world has lost a philanthropist, and I have lost a friend. I would not trust myself out here before you to-day except but for one reason. I shook Mr. Sumner's hand for the last time last Sunday evening, at half-pis arms were always open to receive me. (Applause.) And now, Mr. Mayor, our ship in which he has commanded is still adrift. We are standing out now in the open sea, with a great storm, and in behalf of those five millions of people of the United States, I beg of you to give us a good man to take hold where he left off. (Applause.) We are not educated up to that point. We cannot speak for ourselves. We must depend upon others. We stand to-day like so many little children, whose parents

He bade me say to the people of Massachusetts, through their Legislature, this: I thank them for removing that stain from me; I thank those that voted for me. Telle that voted against me that I forgive them all, for I know if they knew my heart they would not have done it. I knew Massachusetts was brave, and wanted to show to the world that it was magnanimous, too, and that was my reason for my action. I h

irtues still dignify the character and lives of some of our public men. Sumner lives again in these eloquent words of recognition of his noble services and life, and the memorial that is suggested in the resolutions will fitly supplement the monumental career that he has left for our example and guidance. This memorial will, we trust, preserve for many generations the likeness of the great man whose mortal remains are, to-day, to be borne through our streets and laid beneath the sods of Mount Auburn. 57 Mount Vernon Street, March 13, 1874. Richard H. Dana, Jr., Esq.: My Dear Mr. Dana—I regret much that an engagement previously made must prevent me from joining you in the proceedings in honor of our late friend, contemplated to-morrow in Faneuil Hall. It would have given me a mournful satisfaction to contribute my mite to the general testimony borne to his long and arduous labors in the country's service, and more particularly to that portion of them with which you and I were

I shook Mr. Sumner's hand for the last time last Sunday evening, at half-past 8 o'cltmosphere. And just so was I brought forth by the eloquence of Charles Sumner, and I have been turned loose on the public atmosphere, for reaes still dignify the character and lives of some of our public men. Sumner lives again in these eloquent words of recognition of his noble sertical institutions of this country. It is more than twenty since Mr. Sumner attained a position that enabled him the most fully to develop hiarried it on to the glorious end. Among that number the name of Charles Sumner must ever remain blazoned in the most conspicuous characters. d two qualities were indispensable —and both of these belonged to Mr. Sumner. One of them was firmness, which insured persistency over all obs

Banks, Mr. Gaston, the Democratic Mayor, Edward Everett Hale, Richard H. Dana, and other eminent men spoke. But perhaps the most affecting words fell from the trembling lips of Hon. Jas. B. Smith, member of the Legislature for Cambridge, the personal friend of Mr. Sumner:— Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen: I would not appear before you to-day to say a word, for I do not feel able to do it, and I can only say, Massachusetts has lost a Senator, the United States has lost a statesman, the world has lost a philanthropist, and I have lost a friend.

y thank him for what he has done, but I cannot; but such as I have I give him. (Applause.) Mr. Mayor, I second the resolutions. Of the letter read from Charles Francis Adams, the Globe said: Last, but not least, the tribute of such a conservative statesman as Charles Francis Adams to the great qualities of his friend and asCharles Francis Adams to the great qualities of his friend and associate of many years was worthy of the historic name he bears, and makes us take fresh courage when we think of what virtues still dignify the character and lives of some of our public men. Sumner lives again in these eloquent words of recognition of his noble services and life, and the memorial that is suggested in the resolutious. After nearly a quarter of a century of trial there is not a trace left of the power of any temptation, either in the form of pecuniary profit, or the much more dangerous one of management for place. He was pure throughout—and this was the crowning honor of his great career. I am very truly yours, Charles Francis Adams
