More eloquent tooguos then 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 animated by dev it.ou to ooostitntionsi liberty, and tbat the brightest pages of history are replete with evidence of the depth aud sincerity of that devotion, tha Southern i eople esn but rheiislr the reo- ollecti .ua of tbe battles foaght sad tbe victories w .n b d fence of their hapless cause Au<l respecting, as all true and brave meu must respect, the martial spir it with whioh the men of the North vin dicated tbe integrity of the Union and their devotion to tbe principles of hnman freedom, they do not aik, they do not 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 -eniioti, not envious, but proud of eaoh other, uud regard them a common herit age of Amer.can valor; ao tbat fotnre gape rations, when they remember the deeds of heroism and devotion done on both sides, will speak not of Northern prowess or Southern courage, but of tbe nxroism, fortitude and ooursge of Ameri cans in a war of ideas—a war in which each section signalized its consecration to the principles, as eaoh understood them, fault, personally, never to have this eminent philanthropist and man. Th* impulse waa oftan strong upon m* to go to him and offer Mm my bud, and ay heart with it, and to oiptoas to Mm my thanks for hia kind and eonaidar- ato coarse, of let# years, toward tho peo ple with whom I aa idontiflad.
