Charles Sumner carried all his aristo
cratic tastes and associations with him
into the free-soil party in 1847. He- be

friendshin and remained always the
friend, but not the brother of the negro,
the aristocrat to the end oi his days.

it is at that time when the midnight
oil is burning that according to popular
belief the best literary work is done, and
perhaps Mr. Cleveland appreciates that
tact.
