States, in which he came very near to Buchanan's, was no less objectionable. He wrote Mr. Adams, our minister at London, April 10, two days before the bombardment of Fort Sumter, that the federal government could not reduce the seceding States to obedience by conquest, and that only an imperial and despotic government could subjugate thoroughly disaffected and insurrectional members of the State,—an unfortunate declaration, which misled European powers as to our system of government. F. W. Newman's Miscellanies, vol. III. p. 196; London Morning Star, May 11, 1869. Seward's character was complex; it is difficult to understand it, and it is possible to misjudge him. At the outset as secretary he opposed the relief of Fort Sumter, and continued to oppose it against the positive opinions of his associates,—Chase, Blair, and Welles. On April 1 he submitted to the President, without the latter's invitation, what is justly called an extraordinary state paper, unlike anything to be

MacCarty, Jan. 20, 1862: I am in a minority of two or three, the 16 and 18. London Times, October 20 and 24. Shortly after, in an open corespondence with Prof. F. W. Newman, he called the struggle of our government to maintain itself a hopeless and destructive enterprise. Dec. 1, 1862. Professor Newman's letter, November 28, calls Gladstone the admirer of perjured men. Gladstone's rejoinder of December 4 was published in the London Star. （New York Tribunnly a few, were not disturbed by the speech,—as T. B. Potter, who thought it glorious, and Prof. F. W.

Professor Newman, personally a stranger, writes me, full of thanks, and predicts that the speech must do gre

ed million pounds sterling, or required an abject apology, but that what he said was that England's action had in some measure been the occasion of an enormous loss, and that there had never been on her part any expression of national regret. F. W. Newman, writing to the London Morning Star, May 11, 1869, found nothing in the speech not in principle found in the senator's address in September, 1863, which, as he thought, was more excited and exciting. （F. W. Newman's Miscellanies, vol. III. pF. W. Newman's Miscellanies, vol. III. pp. 195-197.) A pamphlet edition of the speech, with a special view to its circulation in England, was published at the instance of John M. Forbes, the eminent merchant of Boston. They had put aside with indifference what others had written, and now Sumner's position and authority brought the American case for the first time directly before them. In this way he seemed to them the principal accuser,—almost if not quite an enemy. They were all the more aggravated because of his familiarity with E
