Seward aud Mr. Wade first became con- spicuous as repuplicans, RISE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The republican party was brought into life through the agency of Mr. Sumner, and we find in a speech delivered on the 2d of November, 1853, at Faneuil Hall, just before the open- ing of this Congress, that Mr, Sumner eio- quently explained the principles underlying the | new organization, He showed how closely | slavery and oligarchy were identified, an spoke of tue baitie that had been ought by Mr. Chase and himself on the floor of the Senate on benalf of puras “It Was the sentiment o/ that great apos- ue of freeuom, benjamin Franklin, uttered during | the trials of the Revolution, that ‘where liberty 1s | tere i8 my country.’ In a similar strain | would | say, Where liberty is there is my party.

So that we may date tue rise of the party which lor Learly twenty years has con- trol November, 1850. “Fellow citizens,” said Mr, sum- ner iu closiag his speect, “we ound now a uew party. It sustaining rches are truth, justice and humanity, Like the ancient Roman capitol, at once a tempie | aud a citadel, if shall be the ft shrine for we | genius of American institutions.”* ANSAS AND NESRASKA, Tt was an 1865. ‘ihe views indicated mm the speech of Mr. Summer caused considerable excitement. The trouvle in Kuusds led almost to a civil War and ex- hausted the attenuon of Congress, and we find Mr. Sumner, on the 26th of May, 1856, making a speech on this subject which bas become a land- mark w the history of emancipation. Mr. Sum- ner entitled mis speech “The Crime Against hausas; Apologies for the Crime and the True Kemedy.”” He attacked the Southerners jor their eiorts to suppress iree speech, and in the course pi the debate made a bitter persona) ailusion to Senator A. P. butler, from South Caroliva, and compared tim and Senator Douglas to Sancho Panza and Don Quixote. “The seuator,” said Mr. Sumuer,, “copies the British officer, who, with Doastiul swagger, said that With tue Mit of his sword he would cram the stamps down the throats oi the American people ; and he will meet a similar failure.” ‘Towards the end of his spevch he again alluded to Senator Butler and to the egotism of South Caroine, and sala, “The lan- guage of the Senator was in favor 0! siavery.” In comparing South Carolina with Kansas, Sum- ner said tuat Kansas would be welcomed a jree State and “ministering angel,”, while South Carolina, in the cloak of darkness which she hugs, es howling, This speecn was delivered on the 19th and 20th of May. He was iolowed by Mr. Cass, 01 Michigan, who in sisted that the address was unpatriotic and un- American; by senator Douglas, Who insisted that the speech Had been committed to memory and practised on belore 4 glass, While a negro boy held nu candle and Watched the contortious. Senator Mason denounced Mr. Summer jor lus allusions to Senator Vougias, to Which Mr, Sumner replied, ad- vising hu tu avoid expressing himseli “in gusts of vuigarity,” and to rememoer that the bowie-kniie and (he b udzeon Were not elements o!

General Grant's report was brief, non. while Mr. Schurz’ briient paper, taking ground mmittal and unsatisiactory, mitung to the Senute that of General Grant. When the message of the President was read, closing the report, Mr. suimner rose and said: “We Nave @ message from the President whieh 1s ot President Pierce with regard to the atrocities in Kansas."?

Sumner led the extreme radical wing of the | party and made exhaustive speeches on the right and uuty of the President's removal, This brought | him into angry relauions with Mr, Fessenden and Mr. Irumbull and others, and many angry debates followed. ihe resuit Was the impeachment con- | troversy and the triumphant election of General | Grant, In 1868, which gave Mr. Sumner an un- lenged predominance in the republican or- | ganization aad led to his unopposed re-election to eh the Senate for the fourth time, in 1869. GRANT'S ADMINISTRATION, With the election of General Grant Mr. Sumner assumed the inteilectual leadership of the republt- can party, and there Was an impression that he ”q | Wouid be chosen as Secretary o; state. But the | President, although he had the highest respect for | Mr. Sumuer’s abilities, felt there was a diference | of temper which would have made bis services in the Cabinet almost an impossibility. Throughout | the Senatorial lve of Mr, sumner he never permit- | ted “any considerations to swerve him irom This was never what he believed to be his du more remarkably made manilest than on the occa- s10n Of the appointment of President Grant’s C met, When a scene took place which the late Hor- ace Greeley Was in the habit of characterizing as the most honorable event that ever happened to | an American Senator, It will be remem- | bered that in the composition of the President's | the American Umon “irom the 2d of | Orst Cabinet Mr. A. T. Stewart, of New York, Was nominated to be Secretary of the Treasury. | This nomination was in contravention ol an act passed during Alexander Humilton’s tenure of | office forbidding any person engaged in com- Merce to hold @ position in the Treasury, The President Was not aware of this barring clause in the section when he nominated Mr. Stewart, and | by the rules of the Senate, uniess a Senator ob- jects, any measure of this kind must receive imme- diate consideration, The President was in the full triamph Oo! election, Behind him was a compact, | dise:piined and obedient party, and as 690n as his wish Was known the general tendency was to con- sent to it. When the quesiion arose if any objec- tion would be raised to tue consideration of the message there wasalong pause. Vice President Coliax was about to declare tne question carried | when Mr, Sumner, looking round the room with astonishment, expecting some democrat to criti cise the message, rose and said, “Mr. Presi- dent, I object.” adding that so hasty a thing as suspending a jaw of the country that had been in | operation over seventy years should not be con- sidereu, even at tue request of the Presicent, witn- out due deliveration. This, however, was regarded simpiy a8 che expression of an independent Sena- tor’s opinion, and it did not disturb the harmon | ous relation then subsisting between Mr, sumner and General Grant, jor we fina Mr. Sumner mak- ing an elaborate speech in 1869 supporting the demands of Secretary Fish for the settlement of | the Alabama clams. During the first year of the administration the relations between Mr. Fish and dr. Sumuer Were ol the most intimate and cordial character, Mr. Sumner was one of the lew | public men Mr. Fish was acquainted with when he came to Washington, for they bad neid seats in tue Senate twenty years previously, and , Sumner gave to the President and his Cabinet a consistent, frienaly and generous support. But an issue, angry In cuaracter, took place, Mr. Mot- | ley was Minister to Engiand, and some of his acts © did not meet the approval of the President, who was dissatisfied witi his reiation with the govern- ment, and he was removed. This act oi removal wounded Mr. Sumner very deepiy, .or Mr. Motley was ls warm personal friend, having been ap- pointed to England at bis request by President Grant, as he had previously been appointed to Austria at his request by Mr. Lincoln, THE QUARREL WITU THE PRESIDENT. A final rupture took place on the St. Do- mingo question. The history of this has been to.d both by the President and Mr. Sum- ner. According to the President, after he had resolved ou entertuiming relations with the gov- erhment of St. Domingy, and had received trom his agents a Juli statement of what had beeu done, he cailed upon Mr. Sumuer at pis house und ex- plained to him what had been accomplished, and left with him a copy of the treaty annexing St. Domingo. In time, however, areport was maue to | the Committee on Foreign Reiations, and a speecn was delivered by Mr. Summer attacking the adinin- istration project. The President contended that At the close of this debate the senate adjourned. | this act on Mr. Sumner’s part was a breach of That was on Wednesaay.

" advancing ta Mr. Sumner, said :—“*Mr. Sumner, i have read your speech on Souta Carolina—t read no Senutor in harmony with the aduunistrauion should inflict upon the government. Mr. Sumner contended tiat he had never given any such evidence ot! intention to support the administration, Dut at the same time admittea he might have been thoughtless in not informing the President of his purpose with regard to St. Domingo. But wiatever the real truta of tae history may be, itis certain that all riendship between the Presi- Wu careiuily, deliberately and dispassionately—ia | dent and Mr. Sumuer was atan end.
