It began with the debate on the election of Speaker in December, and continued during the session which ended September 30, 1850. It passed beyond the question of the territories, and comprehended all the relations of slavery to the nation.

Sumner described, on his return home, to his friend Dana, the Senate in executive session, as it seemed at that period, like the cabin of a pirate, where the only test of fitness for office was fidelity to the slave-power. Adams's Biography of Dana, vol. i. pp. 288, 289. Clay's proposition to send him to Coventry was thought more practicable. It had Sumner's co-operation to this ex
