our respectful homage to the King and Queen. . . . . Ever, my dear Prince, very faithfully yours, George Ticknor. To Hugh S. Legare, Charleston, S. C. the Hon. Hugh Swinton Legare, already mentioned more than once (see Vol. I. pp. 278, 450, and 488), had gradually reached a position of much eminence in the United States.

Meantime, at the North we grow rigorous with the South. We say, and say truly, that it was not a thought in the minds of men, when the Constitution of the United States was made in 1788, that slavery was to be regarded as anything but a temporary calamity, which was to be removed with the assent of all, as soon as fit means
