gratulations Mr. Sumner received from his countrymen, and from the illuminated statesmen of all European countries. He showed me whole stacks of letters, journals, reviews, of which he remarked: The grand source of satisfaction is, that we have done right: and I shall live long enough, I hope, to read these through some time. XXVI. Mr. Wilkinson, of Minnesota, having submitted to the Senate unmistakable evidence of disloyalty to the United States, on the part of Senator bright, of Indiana, he introduced a resolution for his expulsion.

As he handed it to me he said, good-humoredly: I am used to such letters. I read it, and, as I did so, consigned it to the blazing grate. The next letter was from Indiana, one of those good, whole-souled letters, full of sympathy and admiration, with an urgent, earnest invitation for him to visit the writer next summer, and an offer of generous and unstinted hospitality. There, said he, you have burned the bane, and here is the antidote. His next letter was from Boston, fill of hearty thankfulness for his restoration to health, and cheer for the future.
