of the United States. He little supposed that any member of Congress would be tolerated a moment in England who would go to Birmingham and Manchester, and there denounce the law of primogeniture, the aristocracy, and the crown itself. Such a man would be justly denounced by every loyal British subject, and he would be put out of the country; and here this Thompson is received with open arms, encouraged, by men professing to be Americans, in preaching sedition and disunion (Lib. 21: 34). Senator Cass of Michigan, following Clay, and not being averse to seconding, his mob incentive, referred to the conduct of this miscreant Thompson, and said that if a member of Congress should do in England what Thompson had done in this country, he would be sent to Botany Bay (Lib. 21: 34. Cf. 21: 101). Webster gave the keynote of the Government prosecutions when, in his letter to the Union Safety Committee of New York, he said the rescue of Shadrach was, strictly speaking, a case of treason. L

The Compromise of 1850 had left the Missouri Compromise untouched and unquestioned. Calhoun—grant him Southern California and New Mexico for slavery—was ready, if reluctant, to protract the dividing parallel to the Ante, p. 217. Pacific. Lewis Cass, in his famous letter to A. O. P. Greeley's Struggle for Slavery Extension, p. 47. Nicholson, December 24, 1847, laid down a principle of squatter sovereignty broad enough, indeed, for all the Territories of the United States, yet intended for immediate application only to the imminent acquisitions from Mexico. Stephen A. Douglas, speaking at New Orleans Lib. 18.105. in the summer of 1848, had also the Wilmot Proviso expressly in view when echoing Cass's doctrine, viz., that it was for the people inhabiting them [the Territories] to regulate their internal concerns in their own way [i. e., to establish slavery], and that Federal interposition on behalf of freedom was a usurpation. It was Douglas who now gave the widest effect to

She alluded to Longfellow's little pieces in the volumes which you have,—The Light of Stars, and The Goblet of Life,—as having strengthened her to bear her lot. . . . You will read the correspondence of Cass with Webster, who is as powerful as he is unamiable. Cass's sentences are weak and vague, while Webster's tell with the effect of rockets. The latter still lingers at Washington to close his career in the Department of State, and to answer Lord Cass's sentences are weak and vague, while Webster's tell with the effect of rockets. The latter still lingers at Washington to close his career in the Department of State, and to answer Lord Aberdeen's famous despatch on the Right of Visitation. You will be sorry to hear that Judge Story continues indisposed. For the first time in the thirty-two years he has belonged to the Supreme Court, he failed this winter to take his seat at Washington.

Such another summer would make me forget much unhappiness. To descend to our American strife of politics, you will be surprised by the nomination of Polk for the Presidency by the Loco Convention. This was the result of the feud between the supporters of Cass and Van Buren, neither of whom could command the vote of two-thirds requisite to a nomination. The Whigs are in high hopes: I have never known their prospects so bright. They have exorcised the demons of discord and confusion, which have entered into the other party. The junction between Clay and Webster strengthens the Whig cause. I cannot doubt that Clay will be elected. Tyler's weakness has become wickedness.
