a peaceful issue in another way,—by acceding to the substance of the claims of the seceders. He proposed in his newspaper, as a compromise, a new fugitive-slave law, the surrender of the prohibition of slavery in the Territories, the admission of States whether free or slave, as they might come, and the protection of slavery by the government in territory lying south of 36° 30',—a solution in the main like that which was urged later by Mr. Crittenden. Albany Evening Journal, November 30, December 1 and 15; Greeley's American Conflict, vol. I. p. 360; Weed's Life, vol. II. pp. 303, 313. George E. Baker wrote to Sumner, December 3, from Albany, that no influential man agreed with Mr. Weed's view, and that it had no support in the rural districts. The Boston Journal, Jan. 9, 17, 1861, was not opposed to the restoration of the Missouri Compromise line and the nonprohibition of slavery south of 36° 30'. Greeley afterwards questioned the wisdom of the overtures made by himself and We<

e law is so much in harmony with my own constant aspirations that I am unwilling to dismiss it. Pray, put it in practical form, or at least develop it more at length. I see impediments at this moment to a movement in Congress on this subject. But my anxious desire is to associate with our decision about Mason and Slidell some triumph of our traditional policy with regard to maritime rights. Of course, this must come from the Administration, and I have today urged it. To Mr. Bright, December 30:— I know not which to be most grateful for, your speech or your letters. All of the letters, including that of December 14, I have sent to the President, who told me to-day that he had just read your speech. You already know the settlement of the Trent case. But will the British cabinet and the exacting British people, fired by bad newspapers, be satisfied? I fear not. Then there goes with the settlement Mr. Seward's unhappy declaration to Mr. Adams that he has never believed a

gress. Of course this adds to my work. General Baez, This first interview with the Dominican adventurer is referred to in Sumner's speech, March 27, 1871. Works, vol. XIV. p. 187. the deposed president of Dominica, has been here to obtain help of some kind. Seward would not see him. I listened to his bad French by the hour. There is also the Cretan question, which is becoming interesting. Seward wishes us to sanction a minister to Greece; but I fear a political job. Again, December 30:— Sir Frederick Bruce tells me confidentially that Seward does not wish him to present his letter on the claims officially for the present, so that he can continue to say that he has received no such proposition. I pray you, therefore, to give no hint beyond what you may already have done for counsel. Congress, recognizing the popular will, accepted at this session the principle of equal suffrage, irrespective of race, Works, vol. x. pp. 8, 9.—first establishing it in the D

he President sent to the Senate the papers concerning Motley's recall. The reader who has followed this narrative will recall that up to this time, by the testimony of both of them, their relations had not been disturbed. They were still friends,—differing widely on one question or some of its incidents, but still friends as they had been for twenty years. With these ties and under these circumstances, without provocation or any reason or even pretext ever given, Mr. Fish proceeded on December 30 to put on record the grossest insult against Sumner, a senator and a friend. On that day he signed the letter to Moran, intended as an answer to Motley's letter of December 7. This is not the place to dwell on the ribaldry and insolence of office exhibited towards that minister in this extraordinary paper, and it will be noted in this connection only so far as it concerns Sumner. Motley in his letter of defence had referred to the rumor of his removal on account of Sumner's opposition
