he offered such as is ours here. Do not fail to seize it. The blow with which we smite an accursed rebellion will at the same time enrich and bless; nor is there any prosperity or happiness it will not scatter abundantly throughout the land. May 19. Works, vol. VII. p. 76. On the last day but one of the session he said July 16. Works, vol. VII. pp. 185, 186.:— I have never, from the beginning, disguised my conviction that the most important part of the bill concerns emancipfor treason and hung. People talk, said he, flippantly of the gallows as the certain doom of the rebels. This is a mistake. For weal or woe, the gallows is out of the question. It is not possible as a punishment for this rebellion. Speech, May 19. Works, vol. VII. p. 70. In the midst of all the passions of war Sumner maintained his serenity of mind. Looking forward to a time when soldiers now in hostile ranks would serve under the same colors, he offered a resolution, May 8, 1862,

ntercourse. . . . I have always thought McClellan incapable as a general, and without any sentiment for liberty. This is his mystery. Both were needed. There is no doubt here about Hooker. He told Judge Bates, at the time of the visit with the President, that he did not mean to drive the enemy, but to bag him. It is thought he is now doing it. The letter was written on the day of Hooker's defeat at Chancellorsville. He did no prove equal to so high a command. To Mr. Cobden, May 19:— There seems to be a better feeling on both sides. We begin to feel that you do not mean war with us. But why does Lord Russell write such letters? . . . .It is not enough to keep the peace now. We must see that there are no occasions of difference left outstanding, no sarcasms which will be remembered only to be hurled back. But your foreign minister makes me sad with regard to the future. I know too much of public opinion and of individual opinion not to see danger ahead, To Lord

ront Boston, April 18, to a workingmen's paper in England, that after the speech English emigration to the United States could not be encouraged, and that English residents might soon have to leave this country! This letter was copied generally by the English press, and was effective in spreading alarm in that country. It was the subject of kindly but trenchant criticism in two Boston journals, May 21,—the Advertiser and the Journal. Mr. Smith also replied to Sumner in a speech at Ithaca, May 19. Not one of them, not even the Times, with its enormous space, admitted it to its columns, but only culled extracts to suit a purpose. That journal contained, May 1, twenty columns of debates in Parliament, while Sumner's speech just received would have tilled only five. It was more moderate that day in its estimate of the speech than in later issues,—allowing it then the merit of an argumentative and dispassionate manner; and the day! before it said that its prevailing tone is rather t

the first copy available at the department of state, the judge went at once to the senator, delivering it enclosed in an envelope addressed to him, on which was written: The result of long and earnest labor is presented and dedicated with respect and confidence by his friend, E. R. Hoar. He commended the treaty to the senator as meeting on all substantial points the objections he had so well urged against the Johnson-Clarendon convention. Sumner made the principal speech upon the treaty, May 19, entering fully into all the points of the negotiation, stating in what respects it met the objections to the rejected convention, explaining the rules to be such as we had heretofore insisted upon, and while not thinking the result as complete as it should be, regarded the treaty as promising substantial good, and supported it by his vote. Sumner, on May 20 and 22, denied in the Senate the truth of reports of his speech on the treaty, calling that in the New York Herald, May 20, a pure i

save it, but in vain. Toward the last of March he left Washington, never to return. Just before his departure, Mr. Sumner gave him the portrait of Thorwaldsen, which he acknowledged March 28, 1869, saying it would be very dear to him as a souvenir d'amitie;. The gift was made after Mr. Sumner had forewarned Raasloff of the doom of the treaty, and had, neither in the mind of giver or receiver, as Miss Seward suggests, any import of favorable action upon it. Raasloff wrote from Copenhagen, May 19:— Let me thank you once more for the beautiful portrait of Thorwaldsen. It is much admired, both on account of the historical interest attaching to it and as a work of art. I hope I may be allowed to keep it. He had gone from our country not to return, but his thought of Mr. Sumner was as affectionate as ever. An authentic statement of General Raasloffs appreciation of Mr. Sumner's relations with himself and of the senator's conduct concerning the treaty appeared in the general
