The bill had been introduced into the Senate by Mr. Wilson, to provide for a commission to appraise the claims on account of the slaves liberated, limiting their allowance, in the aggregate, to an amount equal to three hundred dollars a slave, and appropriating one million dollars to pay loyal owners; to which Mr. Doo-little added the amendment, appropriating one hundred thousand dollars for the colonization of slaves who desired to emigrate to Hayti or Liberia. For, as Mr. Lincoln said of himself, I am so far behind the Sumner lighthouse, that I still stick to my old colonization hobby. But Mr. Sumner, who preferred half a loaf to no bread, was willing to vote money for emancipation, as a ransom. While he disclaimed the title of the master to any remuneration whatever, he regarded it as a good beginning, of which he prophetically saw a better end.

I shall never forget how Mr. Sumner's face brightened, and his eyes swam in the luxury of gratitude, whenever he received such letters, exclaiming with fervor, as he rose and shook himself, walking the floor—Thank God we have such opportunities to do good! And where on earth will you find hearts that so readily melt with gratitude, as in the negro breast? And yet his severest trial, during these days, was in—as he expressed it— screwing Old Abe up to the sticking point. And then, with considerable impatience, he broke out, How slow this child of Freedom is being born! If other children found as much difficulty in getting into the world, the earth would be depopulated with this generation. The idea of a man having to buy himself!

On the 16th of April it was approved by the President, who sent a message expressing gratification that the two principles, compensation and colonization, are both recognized and practically applied in the act. The bill had been introduced into the Senate by Mr. Wilson, to provide for a commission to appraise the claims on account of the slaves liberated, limiting their allowance, in the aggregate, to an amount equal to three hundred dollars a slave, and appropriating one million dollars to pay loyal owners; to which Mr. Doo-little added the amendment, appropriating one hundred thousand dollars for the colonization of slaves who desired to emigrate to Hayti or Liberia.

by. But Mr. Sumner, who preferred half a loaf to no bread, was willing to vote money for emancipation, as a ransom. While he disclaimed the title of the master to any remuneration whatever, he regarded it as a good beginning, of which he prophetically saw a better end. It was a blow levelled at Slavery outside of the District, as well as in it, and unmistakably proclaimed the power and duty of Congress over the whole subject. Congratulations came from all sides, but the best was from Frederick Douglass, himself a redeemed slave. He wrote to Mr. Sumner: I want only a moment of your time to give you my thanks for your great speech in the Senate on the Bill for the Abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia.
