on to the Constitution, which they pronounced an utter failure, especially in respect to the election of fit men for President. Lord Morpeth's diary (Mss.). Dr. Channing and President Quincy were exceptions. The latter dissented, a day or two later, from the view taken at the dinner referred to; and the former was always full as easily the first preacher. King's Chapel, with Rev. Ephraim Peabody in the pulpit and worshippers of the best society in the pews, represented the churches. Channing, that finest product of New England, was no longer living, to temper with his moral enthusiasm social and commercial opinion, and to set forth in weekly ministrations his lofty ideal of humanity. In two Unitarian pulpits, those of James Freeman Clarke and F. D. Huntington, the spirit of Channing survived; but in those of most of the Unitarian churches, as also in the Congregational (Trinitarian) and Episcopalian, there was little sympathy for moral reforms.

I often think of your father's William Ellery Channing. confidence and kindness to me, and regret now that he has gone that I did not see him more. . . . His tracts on the Duties of the Free States passed through the press under my eye. To Lord Morpeth, October 1:— This note comes rks, vol. i. pp. 241-302. It was a tribute to four eminent graduates of the college who had recently died, and was entitled, The Scholar (John Pickering); the Jurist (Joseph Story); the Artist (Washington Allston); and the Philanthropist (William E. Channing). The first two he had already commemorated by his pen, and all were his personal friends, though much older than himself. He had known Pickering at the bar and in private life; he had made frequent visits to Allston's studio; he had dr

cavalier. Our rough men, like Giddings, have met them; but rarely if ever have our gentlemen and scholars joined battle with them. It is atrocious that Pettit, Clay, Butler, and the others were not called to order; but I suppose the rules of order, like all the other laws of our republic, are never executed against the slave-power. Mr. Dana, in communicating Prof. Edward T. Channing's expressions of admiration for his pupil's recent triumph in the Senate, reminded Sumner of what Dr. W. E. Channing's sentiments would have been if he were living:— Would not his brother have felt at least as much if he had lived to see the day when his pupil and friend fought for the right in high places? Have you ever thought of the satisfaction you would have received from meeting him on your return from this session? James Russell Lowell wrote, March 23:— I am very glad to thank you for sending me in a more preservable form a speech which does you so much honor, and in which our

Saturday, my appointed day of sailing. Mr. R. at eleven o'clock drove me to the Adelphi Hotel; at twelve o'clock to the pier, where I embarked on a small steamer with the passengers and their luggage for the steamer Niagara, a Cunard packet bound for Boston; at about three o'clock all was ready, and the voyage commenced.

ates, Douglas and Breckinridge. Sumner prepared in the autumn, as a lyceum lecture, a tribute to Lafayette, in which, with a view to arrest a tendency to compromise which he foresaw was at hand, he brought into prominence Lafayette's constant testimony against American slavery, and his fidelity to liberty from youth to age. It contains eloquent passages, and the whole is marked by a cadence and resonance of style, and a sympathy with noble lives, which recall his earlier commemoration of Channing and Story. 1 Works, vol. v. p. 369-429. The lecture was printed at New York in pamphlet from a reporter's notes, without the author's revision. It was rewritten and repeated in 1870 at many places in the Western as well as Eastern States. It was delivered once before the election in Boston October 1, and after the election at Concord, where he was Emerson's guest, and also at Providence and Lowell; and on each of these three occasions he was waited upon after his return from the hall b
