pportunity to appear for another and third time in his career as a pacificator between contending sections and policies; and late in January, 1850, he presented his scheme of a comprehensive and final adjustment. His series of measures, reported May 8, at first failed as a whole, but afterwards prevailed in August and September in the shape of separate bills. Their success was promoted by the co-operation of Fillmore, who became President on the death of Taylor, July 9. The latter had been e pronoun which was transferred so that he appeared to pledge himself to support it only as amended by himself. The transfer of the relative pronoun led to a controversy in the newspapers,——--Boston Courier, May 6, 1850 Advertiser, May 7; Atlas, May 8 and 9; Moses Stuart's Conscience and the Constitution, p. 67. He intimated his purpose to offer some amendments which would qualify its harshness, and later proposed one securing to the alleged fugitive a trial by jury; but his speeches and lette

of the best things about the business is, that it has put you in a strong place. This will materially enlarge your sphere of usefulness. The passage of the bill in the Senate by a well-nigh unanimous South, and the body of the Democratic senators from the North, was assured from the beginning; but its fate in the House was uncertain. A vote in the latter body, March 21, referring the Senate bill to the committee of the whole, indicated a majority of fifteen against it; but roll-calls, May 8 and 9, disclosed a change of front on the part of several Northern Democrats. The Administration brought a pressure to bear upon its Northern supporters, and secured a majority. A mass of business having precedence stood in the way of reaching the Senate bill; and another bill identical nearly in terms was introduced and finally passed, just before midnight, May 22, by thirteen majority, after stubborn resistance, under the resolute and skilful management of Alexander H. Stephens. The bil

ngth against the proposition to originate appropriation bills in the Senate, contending that it contemplated a practice which according to the best interpretation was not allowed by the Constitution. Feb. 7, 1856. Works, vol. IV. pp. 83-92. He stated the same view in debate, Feb. 10, 1865. In two speeches on the mode of abrogating treaties he maintained, that, as under the Constitution a treaty is the supreme law of the land, it could be abrogated only by act of Congress. March 6 and May 8. Works, vol. IV. pp. 98-120. the occasion which led him to introduce a resolution to this effect was President Pierce's notice to Denmark for terminating the treaty in relation to the Danish Sound dues given in pursuance of a resolution of the Senate. It was suspected at the time that Southern senators, who were urging the power of the Senate to abrogate the treaty, had in view the making of a precedent for the revocation of the treaty with Great Britain requiring a naval force on the coa

Drove with Appleton to the review in the Champs de Mars, where were sixty thousand soldiers,—more than I have ever seen before, and more than I shall ever see again; dined at a restaurant, and then went to Theatre Porte St. Martin to see the new play entitled William Shakspeare; but after two acts was so tired I was obliged to get home. May 7. Went to Musee d'artillerie; made several calls. Passed my evening quietly; too tired for society or theatre. May 8. Went to Palais de Justice to hear M. Mairie, a member of the Provisional Government of the Republic; but the case was postponed again on account of the death of his wife. Made calls; drove with Appleton to the Bois. In the evening went to Madame Mohl's, where our Boston Miss Hensler sang, and I met a M. de Turgenev of Russia, Ivan Sergiewitz l'urgenev, 1818-1883; novelist, exiled from Russia. and living by turns in Germany and France, who in his writings gave vivid pictures of life in
