at) in opposition, Sumner took the floor. Works, vol. XIV. pp. 89-131. He had before him only notes in pencil. His self-restraint in manner did not conceal his intensity of feeling, which was hardly ever so great, not even in the debates on Kansas. All the fire of youth came back again, as those who had often heard him felt as they now listened to him. Boston Advertiser, Dec. 22, 1870. Perley (B. P. Poore) called it the most remarkable speech of his life. Boston Journal, Dec. 22, 1870id, were as sacred as those of France or England. He found a parallel to the proposed scheme and the spirit with which it was pressed in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and in the Lecompton constitution by which it was sought to subjugate Kansas to slavery. He likened the President's attempt to interfere with the committee on foreign relations to Buchanan's insistence on Douglas's removal in 1868 from the committee on territories in order to carry the Lecompton constitution, and he refe

lican caucus for arranging the committees met on the morning of March 9. The chairman, Anthony, appointed as the committee to present a list Sherman, Morrill of Vermont, Howe, Nye, and Pool. Anthony was friendly to Sumner, and if in naming the committee he had in mind the proposed exclusion of Sumner, he supposed at least the fireported were in the hands of the Senate, and could be called up by any senator. (4) Surviving associates of the senator,—Patterson. Schurz, Casserly, Morrill of Vermont, Trumbull, Fenton, Thurman, Bayard, Morrill of Maine, Logan, Anthony, Windom, and Spencer,—when their opinions were requested, all cordially testified to Sumner'swever, not a careful reader, and accepted as true what his military secretaries told him. Sumner took no notice of these allusions pointed at himself. Morrill of Vermont at once sought the opportunity to reply to the argument of the message; and though the attempt was made to shut him off, he obtained (Sumner and others supporting

iples of international law. Sumner lingered in Washington (the Senate adjourning May 27) till the second week of August. He passed his time in studies, relieving them by afternoon drives, during which George William Curtis, then in Washington as chairman of the civil service commission, was often his companion, and they ended the day by dining at the senator's house. Mr. Curtis was a stanch supporter of the President, though not agreeing with his San Domingo scheme. He wrote from Ashfield, Mass., July 28: My summer days in Washington were a delightful episode in my life. Our long talks, our drives, our dinners, our differences, our debates, linger happily in my memory, my only regret being that I could not quite bring you to see the truth as it really is. Sumner on his way from Washington stopped at Philadelphia to call upon Mr. Forney and Thomas Fitzgerald, Proprietor and editor of the Philadelphia Item. He died in 1891 at the age of seventy-one. and in New York, wher

some heart disease, probably the remote effect of his old blow. The doctors say the only policy is rest; the more he'll take, the better health, and the better chance of life prolonged. I argued and prayed; so did we all. How would it do for you to drop him one line beseeching the same course? I told him any harm to him would be greater evil than the stealing of all the west shores. An allusion to the measures for acquiring San Domingo. Sometime I'll tell you lots of good things. The Russian minister said to me: Make him rest,—he must. No man in Washington can fill his place,— no man, no man. We foreigners all know he is honest. We do not think that of many. Notwithstanding the controversy in which he was engaged, Sumner kept up his interest in ordinary matters of legislation, and was never more active in the details of the business of his committee, which he was about to leave.

Longfellow's Life, vol. III. p. 170. The poet saw in his friend traces of the attack of angina pectoris in the winter, and wrote to G. W. Greene: He complains that I walk too fast, and is averse to walking at all. Sumner made a brief visit to Mr. Hooper at Cotuit, and was for a day with B. P. Poore at Newbury. On September 23 he assisted at the Bird Club in commemorating the Whig State convention of 1846, in which he was a leader of the Conscience Whigs at the opening of his career. One evening in the autumn he was at Mrs. Sargent's Radical Club, where M. Coquerel, the French clergyman, was received, and where were also Wendell Phillips and James Freeman Clarke.
