ids will do them justice. Let me spesk
Hhe characteristics which brought tba
lustnous Senator who haa just passed
Way into direct and bitter antagonism
y«an with my own Slate and bar aia-
t ir Slates of tbs Soalh.
Ohsrle, Sumner was born with an in
active iowe of freedom, and was edu-
ited from hia earliest infancy to the
•lief that freedom ic tba natural and in-
tfvsslbla right of every intelligent being
. »ving tba ontward form of man. In
10 iiai, in fact, thin creed scorns to have
mc something mors than n dootrine im-
W from tsaebeis, or a result of adnoa-
4 »"■ To Mm it was n grand intuitive
ia. flwelplw inscribed tu biasing Utters npon
»tablet of his inner consciousness, to
ln y which would heve been for him to
>uy that be himself cxUted. And alone
ilk this all-oontrolling love of freedom,
:ot- ' pcs naiad , moral sensibility keenly
lease sod vivid, n oonsciention-noM
icb would never permit him to swmvc
the breadth of n hair from what hi
otursd to himself tha path of duty.
wets oombittsd in him the obsrsc-
■Utioo whioh have in nil ages given lo
%ion bar martyrs and to |iutriotiam
r self-saeriflaing heroes,
seaman thoroughly permeated and
ouad with suoh a oread, and ' animated
11 constantly aetnatad by aneb a spirit
devotion, to behold a human being or
*te of hnman beings restrained of
M bo deemed their natural rights to
*ty, for no crime by Mm or them oom-
l»«
mitted, was to fool all tha belligerent in
stincts of bis oators roused to combat.
Tha fact waa to him n wroog which no
legio could justify. It mattered not to
biui how houibU in tba scale of rational
being the HUhjuot of this rMtrain! might
be, bow dsrk bis skin or bow dsns, bU
iguorsnoe. Behind all that law for him
tue great prinoiple that liberty ia tba
tditbrigbt of all bupianily, and that every
individual of every rsea who has a soul to
save ia entliled to tha freedom which may
enable bim to work out bU salvation. It
mattered not to bim that tha slave might
be oontenied with hia lot; that hia aetnal
coudiiiuu might ba immeasurably man
desiisble tb.n that from whioh it had
transplanted bim ; that it had given bim
physical oomfort, mental elevation and
Christian truth, pusssmed by hia
mw ia wo other smsWm | tho* his
bonds had not boon plaoad npon his
bands by tb* living generation; that tba
mixed social system, of whioh ba formed
an element, bad bean regarded by the
fathers of tba repnblio, and by tho ablest
statesman wbo bad risen np after them,
as tuo complicated to ba broken np with
out danger to auoiety itself, or oven to
civilisation; or ,Anally that th* eotnal
auto of thiug* bad bead recognised and
eXpliaitely aauotioned by tba vary orgenw
io law of the republic. Weighty aa these
consideration* might ba, formidable as
ware the difficulties in tba way of tba
praoliosl enforcement of his groat princi
ple, be bald nous the laaa that it must
sooner or ialtr be enforced, though insti
tutiona and couatitntiuns should have to
give way alike before it. But bars 1st
me do tbia eminent man tba justice
which amid tba exaitemant of tbs strag
gle between tba motions, now peat, 1
may bava been disposed to deny bun. Io
Ibis Aery seal and tbU earnest warfare
agsinat tha wrong, aa ha viewed it, there
entered no enduring personal animosity
toward tha men whose lot it waa to be
boro to tbe system which ha danoonewl.
It bas been the kindness of tba sympathy
wbicb in thaaa latter yeera he haa display-
ad toward tha impoverished and anfftring
people of Ibe Southern Sts’** that ha* un
veiled to me the generous and tender
heart wbiob beats beneath tba boaotn of
tho aaslot, and ha* foroad ms to yield
bim the tribote of my respeot, I might
even say of my admiration. Nor in th*
manifestation of thin ha* there bean any
thing which n proud and sanaitiv* people,,
smarting under a sense of reoent discom
fiture mid p eve At suffering, might not
frankly socept, or wbiob wonld give them
just osuse to suspect its sincerity. For,
though he raised his voioe aa soon as hs
believed tbe momentous urate of this
grsat military conflict wore deeided in be.
belt of stone.ty to the vanquished, and
though he stood forward ready to wel
come back aa brothers and to re-catabliab
io their rights as citixens thoaa whose
valor bad ao nearly riven asunder the
union whioh he loved, yet he insisted
that the most ample proteetioo and th*
Inrgcat safeguards should be thrown
around the liberties of tbo newly enfran
chised African rue. Though ba knew
e* y well tbat of his oonquered fellow-oit-
zens of tbe Mouth by far the larger por
tion, .even those wbo most heartily ac
quiesced in and desired th* abolition of
ilsvery, seriously questioned tbo expedi
ency of investing, in a single day and
without any preliminary tutelage, so vast
a body of inexperienoed rad nninatraotad
men with ibe full power* and rnaponsi-
bi itiea of citizeusbip and suffrage, be
would tolerate no half-way measures npon
n point to bim so vital.
Iudeed, immediately after the war,
while other uiiuda were ooonpying them
selves with different theories of rnoon-
straotioo, be did not hesitats to impress
most emphatically npon the administra
tion, not only io publio, bat in tbs oonfl-
deuoe of private iutercoone, hia nnoom-
promiaing resolution to oppose to tbs last
any utid every scheme wbicb Bhould fail
to provide tbe aureat guarantees for th*
personal freedom sod political rights of
the raos wbiob be bad undertaken to pro
tect. Whether these measures prove him
to be a praetio-d statesman or n theoreti
cal anthuai .at is a question on wMoh any
judgment which we to-day may pronoanae
must await the reviaion of posterity. I
allude to tbeoi here ouly to enow tbat tha
apiiit of magnanimity which, during tbe
last three years,, breathes in his utter
ances sod manifests itself in all bis acts
affeotiug tbe Mouth, was as evidently hon
est as it was graceful to th* feelings of
those to whom it wss displayed. It was
certainly a gracious set toward tba Booth,
though, unhappily, it jarred upon tha
sensibilities of the people at the other ex
treme of the Union, to propose to eras*
from the banners of Ibe nations! army
tb* mementoes of tbe bioody internecine
struggle, which might be regarded as as
sailing tbe pride or wounding th* sensi
bilities of the Southern people. That
proposal will never be forgotten by that
people so long as tbe name of Cbsrlse
Mntuner lives in the memory of man.
Bat, while it touched tbe heart of tho
Muoih and elioite I her profound gratitude,
. her people would not haveBskedof the
North such ao act of sulf-rehnucistion.
Cnr.so.ous Uet they themselves ware

wish tbe North to strike the mementoes
of ber heroism and victory from either
readers, or monuments, or battle-flags.
They would rather that both sactions
should gather np the glories won by eaoh
