rooves, E. P. Whipple described the social leaders of Boston at this time, in a conversation with the Author, as fixed and limited in their ideas.—in politics, Whig; in faith, Unitarian and Episcopalian. Its members were closely connected by intermarriage; and a personal difficulty with one was quickly taken up by the related families,—so that through connections by kin or friendship nearly all the society was likely to take a part. For instance, the Ticknor, Eliot, Dwight, Guild, and Norton families were connected by marriage; and Mr. Eliot was a near kinsman of the Curtis family. Similar ties by blood and marriage united the Sears, Mason, Warren, Parker, and Amory families, and also the Shaw, Sturgis, Parkman, and Perkins families. Another group was the Sturgis, Perkins, Cabot, Forbes, Cary, Gardiner, and Cushing families. The different groups were often connected by kin or close friendship. Sumner was for a time, at an earlier period, shut out from one house on Beacon Stre

The influence of these families ramified in the society of Boston; and this debate, in connection with Sumner's political divergence from its traditions and interests, helped to bring him into general social disfavor. Sumner was supported by Dr. Howe, who spoke at great length on two evenings, making a minute comparison of the two prison systems, and earnestly advocating that of Pennsylvania; June 2 and 16. Dr. Howe's speech of June 16 is f

ason to doubt his statement. Pearson was the owner of the brig Acorn, which carried Sims, a fugitive slave, back to Savannah in April, 1851. A letter to Sumner written soon after the meeting shows the temper of society at the time. Rev. Andrews Norton, a learned divine, was closely connected with leading families, and associated with the wealth and culture of the city. His kindly nature and Christian profession should have inclined him to listen with open ears to the cry of a pursued negro who had testified his longing for freedom by enterprise and endurance which in a better age would have drawn to him universal sympathy. Professor Norton had taken an early interest in Sumner, giving him a benediction as he left for Europe, and felt a genuine regret when he saw a young man of his high promise diverging, as he thought, from a career of usefulness and propriety. He wrote thus, September 29:— I thank you much for your kindness in sending me your oration before the P. B
