C. Edwards Lester, Life and public services of Charles Sumner: Born Jan. 6, 1811. Died March 11, 1874., Section Fifth: Senatorial career. (search)
posing once more to open the hideous, heaven-defying Slave-trade and thus to replenish its shambles with human flesh; and now, by the lips of an eminent Senator, asserting an audacious claim to the whole group of the West Indies, whether held by Holland, Spain, France, or England, as our Southern Islands, while it assails the independence of Hayti, and stretches its treacherous ambition even to the distant valley of the Amazon. In maintaining its power, the Slave Oligarchy has applied a new di Borgo, turning his back upon his own country, has reached the most exalted diplomatic trusts in the jealous service of Russia. In the list of monarchs on the throne of England, not one has been more truly English than the Dutch William. In Holland, no ruler has equalled in renown the German William, Prince of Orange. In Russia, the German Catharine II. takes a place among the most commanding sovereigns. And who of the Swedish monarchs was a better Swede than Bernadotte, the Frenchman;

a broad territory once covered by a time-honored ordinance of Freedom; now threatening to wrest Cuba from Spain by violent war, or hardly less violent purchase; now hankering for another slice of Mexico, merely to find new scope for Slavery; now proposing once more to open the hideous, heaven-defying Slave-trade and thus to replenish its shambles with human flesh; and now, by the lips of an eminent Senator, asserting an audacious claim to the whole group of the West Indies, whether held by Holland, Spain, France, or England, as our Southern Islands, while it assails the independence of Hayti, and stretches its treacherous ambition even to the distant valley of the Amazon. In maintaining its power, the Slave Oligarchy has applied a new test for office, very different from that of Jefferson: Is he honest; is he capable? is he faithful to the Constitution? These things are all forgotten now in the controlling question, Is he faithful to Slavery? With arrogant ostracism it excludes

celled, while serving States to which they were bound by no tie of birth. The Dutch Grotius——author of the sublime work, The Laws of Peace and War—an exile from his own country—became the Ambassador of Sweden, and, in our own day, the Italian Pozzo di Borgo, turning his back upon his own country, has reached the most exalted diplomatic trusts in the jealous service of Russia. In the list of monarchs on the throne of England, not one has been more truly English than the Dutch William. In Holland, no ruler has equalled in renown the German William, Prince of Orange. In Russia, the German Catharine II. takes a place among the most commanding sovereigns. And who of the Swedish monarchs was a better Swede than Bernadotte, the Frenchman; and what Frenchman was ever filled with aspirations for France more than the Italian Napoleon Bonaparte? But I pass from these things, which have occupied me too long. A party which, beginning in secrecy, interferes with religious belief, and fo
