r is the tyranny, and it unhappily rallies to its support at the North, under the specious name of law and order, many worthy but timid men. But I do not doubt that this paramount influence, so injurious to the character of our government, will be ultimately overthrown, and before long. I wish I could hear that Germany was united, as she promised to be, on the assembly of the Congress at Frankfort. That was a scene worthy of our age, and full of auguries of the future. To William Jay, August 3:— I had already carefully read the judgment of Chief-Justice Hornblower, and commended it especially to the Commonwealth, where I think it will be republished, before I received your favor of August 1. It seems to me unanswerable in its reasoning, and I honor its author very much. I am sick at heart as I observe the course of parties in New York. The telegraph to-day tells us that the Whigs are all united in support of the Compromise. Come what may, our Massachusetts battalion wi

Two long letters, dated August 3 and 4, came from Henry Wilson and Theodore Parker, who had noted his failure to get the floor,—telling him how disastrous to the cause and to himself would be his failure to speak; and while expressing their own absolute confidence in his fidelity, they plainly described the prevailing distrust and alarm among the antislavery people. Sumner wrote to Howe, August 11, concerning Theodore Parker's urgency about his speaking:— Parker is too impatient. If by chance or ignorance of the

Whenever in any speech or article I have noticed regrets for the language I deemed it my duty to use, I invariably discarded what followed as being the forced offering of the hour and not of the heart. Please let Mr. Garrison know that I was much touched by his resolution and speech. Without any sensible improvement he left the seaside, August 3, for a change of air, and became the guest and patient of Dr. R. M. Jackson at Cresson, in the Allegheny Mountains.

Wilson, after conferring with Seward and other Republican senators, advised him not to return to Washington during the session, which lasted till the middle of August.

Whether it was due to the treatment seems not to have been a subject of medical discussion. The attack came at night, while the wounds from the moxa were healing; and the suffering was even greater than from the moxa. Sumner was obliged to leave his bed and sit in a chair during that night and the next day. These attacks continued, occurring four times on some days, as on August 3, and were so severe as to make the fire seem pleasant. The correspondent of the New York Tribune, who was in frequent communication with Dr. Brown-Sequard and Sumner, wrote, July 26:— His physical sufferings have been constant, and rather increasing than diminishing, since I last wrote. The moxa has not been administered anew, but none of the wounds on the neck and back left by the six first burnings are yet healed. These render every change of posture difficult, slow walking ve
