Edward L. Pierce, Memoir and letters of Charles Sumner: volume 4, Chapter 46: qualities and habits as a senator.—1862. (search)

Similar pressure from Sumner, with similar resistance from other senators who recalled his uniform position on the suspension of business, will be found in the record of later sessions (June 25, 1864, Globe, p. 3263; July 2, 1864, Works, vol. IX. pp. 55-63; July 26, 1866, Globe, pp. 4166, 4167; Dec. 14, 1868, Globe, p. 68; Dec. 15, 1869; May 5, 6, and 20, 1870, Globe, pp. 137, 3239, 3274, 3277, 3658; Feb 15, 1871, Globe, p. 1262).

Fessenden's temper was disturbed by ill-health. Trumbull once told Fessenden that his ill-temper had left him no friends. （Nicolay and Hay's Life of Lincoln, vol. IX. p. 100.) Its exhibitions were frequent, as in debate with Doolittle, July 26, 1866. (Congressional Globe, pp. 41674168.) The New York Independent in a discriminating tribute to Mr. Fessenden, Sept. 16, 1869, said: Almost a king in dignity of demeanor, he was never safe against loss of temper; and there was scarce a senator whom sooner or later he did not sting. . . .
