He received the thanks of temperance societies for this effort in behalf of sobriety and decency,—one which few senators would have had the courage to make in the case of an associate. He was no cynic; but exhibpp. 4159, 4321, 4404. Sumner's correspondence shows the conflicting opinions,—the purchase being approved by Professor Spencer Baird of the Smithsonian Institution, G. V.

The New York Herald approved the method, April 8 and July 1, 1870. without success to introduce a joint resolution for the acquisition of San Domingo. Such a measure from such a quarter was no occasion ofof the Vice-President. For descriptions of the scene see New York Tribune, March 31; New York Herald, March 28; New York Sun, March 28; Washington Patriot, March 28; Boston Journal, March 28; Boston Advertiser, March 28; New York Independent, April 6; London Telegraph, April 12.

Others saw the evil of slavery, and did their best to extirpate it; otof caricature; and treating thieves and senators alike, he confounded moral distinctions.
