.—the first connecting clemency with stability in the State, and the second warning against extremes—which, doubtful in origin and running into variations, have obtained a remarkable currency among proverbs. Atlantic Monthly, December, 1865; Works, vol. IX. pp. 503-544. The classical explanations at the beginning drew some criticisms from James A. Garfield, then a member of Congress, which found their way into the New York Evening Post, and were sent as printed by Garfield to Sumner, Dec. 28, 1865. It was packed with bibliographical research, which was enlivened by a pleasant commentary on authors and editions—largely upon Philip Gaulthier's poem on Alexander the Great, a copy of which, once owned by John Mitford, had come into Sumner's possession. The moral at the end, for enforcing which the paper was written, was that while applying a wise clemency there must be no weak surrender of essential rights, no neglect of sacred obligations to loyal men of every race.

; and Sumner, while declining to retract or modify his language, disclaimed having made, as charged, any reflection on the patriotism or the truth of the President. Sumner's treatment of the message became the occasion of widespread comment in the press. It was deprecated by Republican journals, which expressed confidence in the President's good intentions, and regarded as disastrous to the party any premature conflict with him; Harper's Weekly, March 10, 1866. The New York Nation, Dec. 28, 1865, defended, against Sumner's imputation, the President's sincerity, truthfulness, frankness, and candor. but the greater part of these critics came to the senator's position a few months later. A change of feeling took place just two months later, February 9, when the President vetoed the Freedmen's Bureau bill. There was the same hesitation among senators, all others holding back from comments on the message. Sumner, who had watched Mr. Johnson closely ever since he came to Washingto
