h the Cherokees themselves, of course, in their hopeless struggle with a rapacious oligarchy, he was no less in sympathy than with the missionaries. See, again, the trampled Indian treaties in the pictorial heading of the Liberator. Charity for the Indians was then and has ever since been a conspicuous element of Boston philanthropy. When John Ridge, the Cherokee chief, came to that city in March, 1832, to present the grievances of his people, the Old South was thrown open to him, Leverett Saltonstall spoke from the same pulpit, and Mr. Pickering John, son of Colonel Timothy Pickering, and an eminent lawyer and scholar, then the city solicitor. In 1836 he published Remarks on the Indian Languages of North America. announced the latest intelligence, that the Supreme Court had decided the law under which the Niles' Register, 42.25, 40. missionaries had been imprisoned to be unconstitutional— news which Mr. Garrison, as an eye-witness, says was received with the most enthusi

money having been raised by extra work done by him in making a new kind of slippers, just then invented. So carefully did Whittier plan to meet the cost of his half year's teaching, that he calculated on having twenty-five cents of surplus at the end of the year, and had it. It is an unusual thing for a newly established academy to be opened with an ode by a pupil just entered, but this was the case with the Haverhill Academy on April 30, 1827, when the oration was given by the Hon. Leverett Saltonstall of Salem. The poem cannot now be found, but we can easily test the product of the young student's muse as to quantity at least, by the columns of the Haverhill Gazette, which yielded forty-seven of his poems in 1827 and forty-nine in 1828. These were given under various signatures, of which Adrian was the chief, while Donald, Timothy, Micajah, and Ichabod were others, and the modest initial W. filled up the gaps.

as a scholar. He gave no promise of a remarkable career; and yet both teachers and pupils respected his qualities of mind and his disposition. The exhibition, or annual visitation, of the Latin and other schools at the close of the five-years' course, in 1826, took place Wednesday, Aug. 23. The occasion, at the Latin School, was graced by distinguished guests,—John Quincy Adams, then President of the United States, Nicholas Biddle, the President of the Bank of the United States, Leverett Saltonstall, of Salem, and Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, a native of Boston and an officer in the British navy. The sixth part—not a prominent one— was A Discussion on the Comparative Merits of the Present Age and the Age of Chivalry.—C. Sumner and H. W. Sargent. Six scholars, of whom Charles was one, each received a Franklin medal. His is still preserved, with the same blue ribbon which was then attached to it.

heories. Do not the people cry out, For God's sake, give us somebody who believes there is something to be attended to in the wants of a million and a quarter of white men, women, and children! This was said by J. G. Abbott, a Free Soiler of 1848, now full of rancor against his former sentiments and his old associates. W. S. Robinson (Warrington), in his Pen Portraits, pp. 521, 522, says: I should like to have him [the reader] look back and read the speeches of Joel Parker and Leverett Saltonstall, who tried by that movement to make the war a war for the flag only, and not for freedom and regeneration. Charles Sumner was the great central figure of that contest, and from that time forward to the end of reconstruction he was the great civic hero of the crisis. There was an attempt in the beginning of the canvass to detach support from Sumner on the pretence that he was an obstruction to the Administration, which had adopted a policy the opposite of his,—that of letting slav
