ional aspiration,—the idea, as Chief-Justice Chase at a later day called it, of an indestructible Union of indestructible States. But while Sumner's formula was not accepted, Congress in fact afterwards worked upon his idea in the extra-constitutional proceedings for reconstruction which followed. Democratic senators were accustomed to rally Republicans on their later conversion to Sumner's doctrines as to the power of Congress over the rebel States which they had at first repudiated. Hendricks did this in a passage with Sherman and Fessenden, Jan. 30, 1868. (Congressional Globe, p. 860.) Doolittle upbraided (Feb. 24, 1868) Republican senators for deserting him in resisting Sumner's ideas, which he said had not only educated but had Summarized the Senate. Works, vol. VI. p. 311. The theory which found most favor was that the States controlled by the rebellion were out of practical relations to the government, to be restored only when Congress admitted them to representation.

introduced and carried a bill requiring it of attorneys appearing in the courts of the United States. As usual in such debates Sumner was reminded—this time by Hendricks and Garrett Davis Davis said, Jan. 13, 1864, that Sumner, when he took his oath, had treason in his heart and upon his lips. The same reminder came from Davitural right that it could not be legalized or recognized by inference or indirect language. The bill encountered not only Democratic opposition, led by Buckalew, Hendricks, and Reverdy Johnson, but also resistance from a number of Republican senators, led by Sherman and Foster, who sought to save the statute of 1793. Sherman's amel of the Fugitive Slave Act in 1852, which Mr. Hunter, then in charge of the bill, did not object to as untimely. June 24 and 25. Works, vol. IX. pp. 30-38. Hendricks, as a thrust at Republican senators, expressed surprise that any one should oppose the senator's proposition on the ground of materiality, or want of connection

n, . . . with all their insolence, and something more than their coarseness. Three Republican senators—Foster, Sprague, and Doolittle—joined with Sumner in opposition to the committee's report; but his allies were mostly Democrats—two of them, Hendricks and Davis, usually his antagonists, warmly commending the stand he had taken. Sumner was never disturbed by finding himself in strange company when he held positions sustained by principles of humanity and public law. The brunt of Republican oak down the right of every State to judge upon its own suffrage. Several passages took place between the two senators, in which each treated the other's position as hostile to freedom. Now and then a Democrat intervened briefly; and this time Hendricks, who said that the senator from Massachusetts is determined that none of these States shall ever be heard in the halls of Congress until the men who speak from those States speak the voice of the negroes as well as of the white men.

t and vote with him. Dixon in the Senate. March 11, 1867; Congressional Globe, pp. 51, 52. Buckalew called him the pioneer of agitation in the Senate, whose propositions when made were criticized by all his colleagues as extreme, inappropriate, and untimely, but were supported by them the next year with a zeal and vehemence even greater than his. March 16; Congressional Globe, p. 170. The Democratic senators were apt to harass their Republican opponents with thrusts of this kind. Hendricks said (Jan. 30, 1868, Congressional Globe, p. 860): I said in the Senate a year or two ago that the course of things is this: the senator from Massachusetts steps out boldly, declares his doctrine, and then he is approached [reproached?], and finally he governs. He referred probably to his remarks, June 24, 1864. Doolittle's remarks (June 6, 1868, Globe. p. 2898, and Feb 9, 1869. Globe. p. 1031) were to the same effect. During the debates on reconstruction and suffrage, Sumner's sty

al, It is a gross insult to him, and a very disreputable act to all concerned in it. and he made a brief visit to a friend in Beverly. In September he was Mr. Hooper's guest at Cotuit. He had promised a visit to the poet Bryant at Cummington, but the burden of a lecture on his mind compelled him to forego it. He was glad to greet Bemis, fresh from foreign journeys. It always pleased him to meet in Boston his associates in the Senate of either party; and this summer he was able to take Mr. Hendricks of Indiana to the interesting points of the city. Sumner took the chair at a Republican meeting in Faneuil Hall, October 15, to ratify nominations for members of Congress and State officers. His presence was greeted with the enthusiasm which it always called out in Massachusetts. He mentioned, as worthy of all support, Mr. Hooper, the member from Boston; Governor Claflin, candidate for re-election; and his colleague Wilson, whose term in the Senate was near its expiration. He spok
