He wore, as was his custom at this period, a blue dress-coat with gilt buttons, buff waistcoat, white trousers and gaiters. Right Rev. F. D. Huntington said, in 1886, that Sumner looked then Apollo-like, with the most distinguished presence of any one of his age in Massachusetts. He was described in 1850 as wearing a dark-blue ladder on which angels are ascending and descending, while weary Humanity, on pillows of stone, slumbers heavily at its feet. Prof. William S. Tyler wrote, in 1886, of Sumner's visit to Amherst:— Having heard the fame of the young Boston orator, the people came together with great expectations; and they were not disappotion, but also, in the society of both sexes, wit, culture, and the love of art and music. Rt. Rev. F. D. Huntington, now Bishop of Central New York. wrote, in 1886:— Everything that calls up the image or reviews the life of Charles Sumner to me is a satisfaction,—a good image and a superb life!

He is the most polished speaker and gentleman of the Senate. Though representing extreme Southern sentiments, he is much my friend. He had from the beginning and always most agreeable personal relations with the diplomatic corps, particularly with the British embassy. Sir John Crampton (1805-1886). He was British Minister from 1852 to 1856, when President Pierce broke off diplomatic relations with him on account of his violation of the neutrality laws. His connection with the Legation at Washington in a subordinate capacity began in 1845. His ability to speak French was in this respect an advantage which few members of Congress enjoyed. He already knew well Calderon, the Spanish Minister, and Madame Calderon, who was a lady of Scotch parentage, and had lived in Boston. Ante, vol.

into free States under the compromise and compact by which in 1820 Missouri was, after prolonged resistance from the free States, admitted as a slave State upon the condition that slavery should be forever prohibited in the rest of the territory acquired from France under the name of Louisiana, so far as it lay north of thirty-six degrees and thirty minutes. No partisan of slavery-neither Calhoun, who guarded the institution with a comprehensive and far-reaching vision, nor Atchison, 1807-1886. who overlooked the territory from the border State of Missouri—had ever been audacious enough, even when the slave-power was putting forth its utmost pretensions, to propose in Congress the abrogation of the compact known as the Missouri Compromise. With the extinction of Indian titles, the progress of national surveys, and the pressure of emigration, the time had come for the organization of a civil government. Already steps had been taken in this direction. During the preceding sessio
