s two visits to the United States; and Sumner had pleasant associations with him during his visits to Boston, driving him and his wife to the suburbs, both then and a year later, when they embarked on their return. Lord Morpeth lost his election to Parliament, for the West Riding in Yorkshire, in the summer of 1841; and made a visit to this country in the autumn, arriving by steamer at Boston, Oct. 21. He spent nearly a year in America, travelling widely here, and extending his journey to Cuba. Sumner derived great pleasure from this visit. He was Morpeth's escort and friend in Boston,—introducing him to the people whom he wished to know, and taking him to places and meetings of interest (among which was the Anti-slavery Fair). He gave him a dinner at the Tremont House, where Story, Prescott, Bancroft, Ticknor, Choate, Hillard, Felton, and Longfellow were among the guests; and was present on similar occasions when Morpeth was entertained by Story, Prescott, and Longfellow.

he has carried with him the sympathies of the Americans in Paris. I am happy to hear that Lord Aberdeen has addressed a note on the subject to our Government, in reply to Stevenson's last letter, which is said to be very able. What can be done to correct the public sentiment? I fear nothing. The question at issue is one of nice law, which the public cannot understand. Ever faithfully yours, Charles Sumner. To Lord Morpeth, New Orleans. Boston, March 29, 1842. Welcome back from Cuba, my dear Morpeth! but in New Orleans I fear there can be no agreeable welcome. If I have a correct idea of that place, there are the dregs of Parisian vice mixed with the vilest dregs of slavery. You will see how rapidly this question of slavery moves in the country. The South seems to have the madness which precedes great reverses. I agree with Mr. Giddings in his resolutions. Wilson's Rise and Fall of the Slave Power, Vol. I. p. 447. Indeed, they are the exact reverse of Mr. Calho

with knowledge and virtue and love of one's neighbor; and let England and Russia take the rest,—I care not who. There has been a recent debate in Congress, in which Mr. Charles Ingersoll said he would go to war rather than allow England to occupy Cuba. I say: Take Cuba, Victoria, if you will; banish thence Slavery; lay the foundation of Saxon freedom; build presses and school-houses! What harm can then ensue to us? Mr. Ingersoll proceeded on the plan of preparing for war. He adopts the moralCuba, Victoria, if you will; banish thence Slavery; lay the foundation of Saxon freedom; build presses and school-houses! What harm can then ensue to us? Mr. Ingersoll proceeded on the plan of preparing for war. He adopts the moral of the old fable of Aesop,—which, you know, I have always thought so pernicious,—where the wild boar was whetting his tusks, though no danger was near, that he might be prepared for danger. I wish our country would cease to whet its tusks. The appropriations of the navy last year were nine million dollars. Imagine half—nay, a tithe—of this sum given annually to objects of humanity, education, and literature! I know of nothing in our Government that troubles me more than this thought. And
