atisfaction, or by posterity to your praise. Many years afterwards, in 1870, Sumner's argument was again printed, and then widely distributed with the view of affecting public opinion in certain Northern as well as Southern States, where colored children were still excluded from the schools attended by white children. During the years 1846-1850 Sumner contributed a large number of articles to newspapers, chiefly controversial and relating to the political contest against slavery. Joseph T. Buckingham admitted some of them to his journal, the Boston Courier, disclaiming, however, any responsibility for them; but oppressed by the hostile sentiments of his patrols, the declined others on grounds of expediency. Mr. Adams was always pleased to admit what Sumner wrote into the Boston Whig. The following, being those not referred to elsewhere, are identified as Sumner's: J. M. Clayton on the Mexican War, a criticism of that senator, who while condemning the war (it being offensive an

He stated his disinclination at the beginning to become Winthrop's critic, and his delay in becoming such till Adams had broken ground in the Whig, and Buckingham had pressed him in two calls to write for the Courier. Disclaiming all personal sentiments towards Winthrop except those of kindness, and regretting with pain that the latter's letter showed personal and unfriendly feelings, he said in his own justification:— In the great public question, on which we are for the moment separated, I had hoped, perhaps ignorantly and illusively, that an honest, conscientious, and earnest discussion, such as the magnitude of the occasion seemed to requ

The Democrats of the State, not now in power at Washington, showed sympathy with antislavery efforts, and in their convention in September, 1849, expressed themselves in resolutions, drawn by B. F. Hallett, against the extension of slavery to free territories. They and the Free Soilers in the autumn, by a popular impulse, with little prompting from leaders, united in several counties and a considerable number of towns, and succeeded in electing thirteen senators and one hundred and thirty representatives,—a number which would have been much larger if a plurality instead of a majority rule had then prevailed. Wilson, in the Emancipator and Republican, Oct. 30, 1849. Among the representatives chosen were Wilson, Boutwell, Banks, and Claflin; and among the senators, Joseph T. Buckingham, the veteran editor. This partial result showed the affinity between the masses of the two parties, and pointed the way to the complete and effective cooperation of the next year

The Courier, anonymously edited since Buckingham's retirement two years before, opposed the Compromise up to the day of Webster's speech. It denied the existence of So then in session were as determined as those who had met in Faneuil hall. Wilson and Erastus hopkins in the house, and Buckingham in the Senate, took the lead in insisting on such a distinct expression on the Fugitive Slave bill and the proposed abanian Hall on Bromfield Street, but requiring more room for the delegates adjourned at noon to the Beach Street Museum.

II. p. 280.) In his speech he stated his opposition to Sumner at the time of his election, and said that now if he had live hundred votes, every one should be given to send him back again. Longfellow, Beck, and Worcester, scholars; Buckingham, the veteran editor; and R. H. Dana, Jr., equally distinguished at the bar and in literature. At Concord, E. Rockwood Hoar read the resolutions, and Ralph Waldo Emerson spoke. Nothing finer ever came from that earnest and philosophic mind. He applied to Sumner the language which Bishop Burnet applied to Sir Isaac Newton, and said, Charles Sumner has the whitest soul I ever knew. This passage was repeated by Judge Hoar to Sumner a few moments before the latter's death. He said:—
