ed for the withholding of supplies and the withdrawal of our troops from Mexico, and briefly urged strenuous and combined efforts for the restraint and overthrow of the slave-power. The four resolutions which accompanied the report summarized its conclusions. The majority of the committee, of which Hayden, editor of the Atlas, was chairman, had been dilatory in taking any action, and finally agreed upon a report which was thought to be wanting in spirit and directness. Edward L. Keyes, of Dedham, from the minority of the committee, submitted the report and resolutions which Sumner had drawn. There was a contest in the House, attended with considerable excitement, and lasting for several days. Boston Whig, April 17, 21, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28. The resolutions reported by Keyes were on the motion of C. R. Train substituted for the majority report by a considerable majority, and were then passed by a vote of more than two to one. With a slight amendment, they then passed the Senate wi

His speech was not on a high level, and gave no promise of leadership in the antislavery conflict.

ds no attention. Winthrop's sharp reflections at this time were prompted by Sumner's including in a recent edition of his Orations and Addresses his letter to Winthrop, Oct. 25, 1846.(Ante, p. 134.) It should be said, however, that Sumner included the letter as a historical paper, with no purpose to revive a controversy. The Free Soilers were particularly annoyed by the reproaches of the non-voting Abolitionists. Mr. Garrison, at a meeting of the Norfolk County Antislavery Society, held at Dedham, April 22, introduced a resolution condemning the senator's silence for four months on the slavery question, and his omission for two months to present the petition for the relief of Drayton and Sayres. Mr. Garrison renewed his criticisms on both points at different times in the Liberator, April 23; June 4, 11, 18; August 6,13. Another non-voting Abolitionist, Edmund Quincy, also repeated them in letters to the Antislavery Standard, which were copied by the Liberator in August, and in th

The Free Soilers held their own in the popular vote, giving Wilson as their candidate for governor nearly thirty thousand votes. Washburn (Whig) had 60,472 votes; Bishop (Dem

er voice. Mr. Adams, who had been a witness of the debates in Congress in 1820 on the Missouri Compromise, sent a letter to the convention, in which he explained fully the issue, addressed a meeting the next day for the Congressional district at Dedham, and shortly after contributed to the press a well considered paper advising as to methods of resistance. Commonwealth, February 20, March 7; New York Evening Post, March 4. The Legislature, then in session, by a vote unanimous in the Senate ahe people, with only here and there a stray vote in the negative, that the repeal of the Missouri prohibition was a perfidious and wicked act. For illustration, only two negative votes were given in Concord and Stoughton; while in Bridgewater, Dedham, Westboroa, South Reading, Fitchburg, and Northampton there was no dissent.
