God grant you strength equal to your day and your duties, is my prayer and that of millions! Singularly enough, another Abolitionist (Garrison) failed to support the negro's cause at this initial stage of the struggle for his political enfranchisement, and heartily sustained the proceedings which excluded him. W. L. Garrison's Life, vol. IV. pp. 122, 123, 153,154. Wendell Phillips, however, stood firmly against his old leader, and carried with him the mass of the Abolitionists.

To my mind, the legitimate corollary is the impeachment of the President, if not of the Secretary of the Navy, as guilty of porters was, what would be his decision in case of the President's renomination,—an event altogether likely to take place. Not only partisans, but others like Mr. Garrison, Gerrit Smith, and George William Curtis, who were in sympathy with Sumner on the San Domingo issue, attributed the President's methods in that business to mis<
