Sumner's hesitation in this respect gradually passed away, but not fully until his party came into power in 1861. He wrote John Bigelow, Dec. 13, 1852:— To-morrow for Webster! The eulogies in the Senate on Mr. Webster were delivered by John Davis, Butler, Seward, and Stockton; Sumner did not speak. He wrote later to Mr. Bigelow: The brave Southern voices failed on the Webster day. Badger skulked in the lobby; Clemens and Mason were both silent. The South would never give him their votes,—look for their voices. To-day has exposed the pettiness of the old parties in excluding Hale, Chase, and myself from committees.

The memorialists were then defended by Seward and assailed by Badger. Everett remained silent after his first explanation. Sumner took no part in the debate. He had scruples against interfering with his colleague, to whose charge the memorial had been committed. He would, if he had spoken, have felt compelled
