authority. This brought Professor Felton into the controversy, who defended Webster at length, and drew an opposite view from Professor Beck. Sumner took Mann's part in some newspaper articles, but avoided an issue with Felton. Boston Transcript, July 29 and Aug. 2, 1850, each signed Boston Latin School. Sigma (Lucius M. Sargent) replied to them. Sumner replied under the signature of X in the Christian Register, July 13 and Aug. 3, 1850, to a writer in the same newspaper, June 29 and July 27, signing R, and supposed by Sumner to be Ticknor. The point of controversy in the Register was as to Webster's and Mann's statements of the requirement of a trial by jury under the Constitution in the case of persons claimed as slaves. Two visible mementos of the controversy concerning Webster remain in the statues of Webster and Mann placed in front of the State house in Boston by their respective partisans. Sumner wrote to Lord Morpeth, Jan. 8, 1850:— The slavery question has

appeal and the interest expressed by others in my speech fill me with a painful conviction of my utter inability to do what is expected. But I shall try to do my duty.

As no bill or resolution upon which his speech would be in order was pending, Sumner was obliged to create his opportunity. He offered, July 27, a resolution instructing the committee on the judiciary to report a bill repealing the Fugitive Slave Act, and the next day during the morning hour moved to take it up. He gave briefly his reasons for not having made the attempt earlier,—his reluctance to speak while yet a newcomer and inexperienced in the scene, and lately ill health. His request, under the rule of courtesy prevailing in the Senate, would have been heeded on any other subject, Clemens of Alabama, who was so insulting

The Whig journals in the country, finding it impossible under such pressure to carry the body of the Whig voters with them, withdrew from the movement, and rallied their partisans for a contest on the old lines. The Springfield Republican, which had zealously advocated the fusion, now gave up the effort as hopeless, but from time to time upbraided the Whig journals and partisans whom it held accountable for the failure,—July 26, 27; August 5, 19, 24, 26; October 24; November 13, 15, 27. This defeat of popular aspirations was a great disappointment to the best people of the State. It kept alive old griefs, and divided into rival and hostile factions those whose duty it was to work together for a great cause. For once Massachusetts failed to hold her place in the leadership of a great movement. The result was that the mass convention held at Worcester July 20, and the nominating convention held there September 7, which
