C. Edwards Lester, Life and public services of Charles Sumner: Born Jan. 6, 1811. Died March 11, 1874., Section Seventh: return to the Senate. (search)
strikingly popularized the chief arguments that had made the burden of his former efforts—that it was printed entire in the Tribune, Times, Herald and World, and that enormous editions were circulated by the Young Men's Republican Union, while the Republican press everywhere reproduced it, till it fell like leaves in Vallambrosa, upon every farm, rooftree, counting-house, and workshop, in the great Free North. A Republican wigwam was to be dedicated in New York on the 6th of the following August, at which an effort was made to get Mr. Sumner to speak; but they had to be content with a hearty reply, in which he said: As citizens of a great Metropolis, you have duties of peculiar difficulty.

y help especially in that part relating to the concession of belligerent rights. I have here the first draft of this important passage in pencil and in my own handwriting, varying in no essential respect from that adopted. Here will be found the distinction on which I have always insisted, that while other Powers conceded belligerent rights to our rebels, it was in England only that the concession was supplemented by acts causing direct damage to the United States. Not long afterward, in August. 1869, when the British storm had subsided, I advised that the discussion should be renewed by an elaborate communication, setting forth our case in length and breadth, but without any estimate of damages, throwing upon England the opportunity, if not the duty, of making some practical proposition.
