Palfrey, who with all his moral excellence had an element of impracticability in him, addressed the members in an open letter, in which he depreciated the importance of a Free Soil senator, and counselled against co-operation with the Democrats; Palfrey was, however, gratified by Sumner's election, and wrote the full biographical sketch of him which appeared in the Commonwealth, May 16, 1851. and his address to them was in a measure approved by Adams and S. C. Phillips. Commonwealth, January 9, 13. Annoying as this interference was, it had little effect on the members. The House appointed January 14 for the election of senator. Never before in the history of the State had such an election so engrossed the public attention. A radical change in the representation of the State was imminent, and the action of the Democratic dissenters had made the issue uncertain. The members themselves, the spectators who filled the galleries, the throng outside which pressed at the doors and

The antislavery newspapers gave the alarm even before the bill was printed by the Senate.

There are brief references to the scheme in the New York Evening Post, Dec. 10, 1Jan. 9, 11, 16, 21; National Era, Jan. 12, 19, 26, and Feb. 2, 9, 16, 23, 1854. There are brief references to the scheme in the New York Evening Post, Dec. 10, 15, 1853. The National Era, as early as April 14, 1853, in reviewing at length the failure to organize the Territory during the session which had just closed, unfolded the designs of the slaveholding—interest, and called for a positive affirmation of the prohibition in any subsequent bill. The Boston Commonwealth, March 28, 1853, was vigilant at that time in the same direction, and noted that the partisans of slavery had obstructed the organization of the Territory at the preceding session.

In the course of our conversation Curtis said that he had not voted since he had been a judge, and he professed entire ignorance of politics and parties. I thought also that he showed it. My conversation with him was so agreeable that I shall call upon him, which I have not done thus far since I have been here in Washington. Again, January 9:— Unjust judges may at least be frightened if not condemned. If I were not a senator, I would organize petitions to the House for the impeachment of all who have trespassed against liberty, from wisconsin to Massachusetts. Think of this.

For this he paid forty pounds. Ante, vol. II. pp. 124, 131. Articles prepared by Sumner, and describing the album and the first edition of Thomson's Seasons which he had bought, may be found in the Boston Transcript, Jan. 9 and 12. 1860. He made similar purchases by order after his return; among them, copies of the Young Augustus and the Psyche, executed by his friend Story. His marbles became his sister Julia's; his bronzes were divided between Longfellow and Dr. Howe; his engravings are in the Art Museum of Boston; and his books, autographs, and old manuscripts in the Library of Harvard College. These purchases and the expenses of his illness absorbed all his income. He wrote, Jan. 25, 1859, to Howe, who
