ous errors as a politician, and maintained that his arrangement of the committees showed the complete triumph of the compromising school of politicians to which he belonged. Adams had a sharp controversy with the junior editor of the Atlas (William Schouler), who assumed Winthrop's defence, and who, though refusing to admit that he meant Adams, had evidently referred to him as the author of letters to members of Congress written for the purpose of defeating Winthrop's election as Speaker. Adams replied indignantly that the language of that editor betrayed the cowardice of the hired assassin, and not the courage of the open murderer. Boston Whig, Feb. 1, 1848. See correspondence between Adams and Schouler, Whig, Nov. 20, 1847. Adams's part in the discussion ended Feb. 21, 1848. On that day John Quincy Adams, while in his seat in the House, was stricken the second time with paralysis, and was taken to the Speaker's room, where he died two days later. Winthrop was devoted to the d

ic discovery,—topics which now so largely occupy a metropolitan journal. Its successive editors —Richard Haughton, William Hayden, Dr. Thomas M. Brewer, and William Schouler—were each true to the general spirit of the journal, regarding no institution so sacred as the Whig party, no men so deserving of invective and proscription as those who, having once borne its name, refused to submit to its authority. The last two named were at this period its managers. Schouler was by nature genial and kindly, and while an editor at Lowell was one of the antislavery Whigs who organized the opposition to the admission of Texas as a slave State. But he now yielded tection, habitually naming the leading offenders, —Adams, Sumner, Allen, Wilson, Palfrey, Keyes, and Bird. The Webster Whigs in 1850 became very bitter against Schouler because, his original and better instincts now prevailing over his political connections, he refused to support Webster's compromise course; and in consequence

Free Soil and Democratic senators were elected to eleven Whigs, and two hundred and twenty One hundred and thirteen Free Soilers and one hundred and seven Democrats. Free Soil and Democratic representatives to one hundred and seventy-six Whigs, Among the forty-four Whig members from Boston were Benjamin R. Curtis, Sidney Bartlett. Henry J. Gardner, Samuel Hooper, Moses Kimball, and William Schouler.—a majority for the union of ten in the Senate (to be increased when the vacancies were filled by joint ballot), and of fifty-four in the House. The existing method required United States senators to be chosen by concurrent vote of both houses. The House selected two of the three candidates for governor having the highest number of votes, and the Senate chose between the two candidates whose names were thus selected by the House. The result was extraordinary. Massachusetts had been,

s retirement, March 4, 1869,—the date when Sumner became Father of the Senate,—the New York Tribune described the Senate as it was when he entered it, and ascribed to the three Free Soilers only a foresight into the real question of the future. Schouler, the correspondent of the Boston Atlas, Dec. 5, 1851, mentioned the incidents of the first day of the session, and particularly Clay's presence. The Senate was sometimes called a bear garden. The scene between Benton and Foote was then freshlyong time. A political opponent from Massachusetts, heretofore unsparing in criticisms, who was present, commended it for style and matter, and writing of the favor with which it was received, said that the senator had achieved a triumph. William Schouler in the Boston Atlas, December 13. Webster was in the Senate the day before, but probably not present on this day. The resolution passed both Houses by a large majority. Sumner's speech was, in its personal aspects, a good beginning. It

Cambridge sent two jurists, Simon Greenleaf and Joel Parker, a former and a present professor in the Law Schne to rally and inspire with a common purpose the allied forces; and a hundred delegates looked to him for the signal to move in any given direction. It is not so easy to name the Whig leaders. Their work was one of criticism and obstruction. Schouler, the editor, was perhaps the most watchful. Generally the Boston delegates were vigilant whenever any conservative bulwark of the Constitution seemed in danger. Choate's defence of the judiciary surpassed in eloquence and political philosophy
