SENATOR SUMNER.

The Dedham Gd:die. free Soil,) in the
course of some justly severe remarks upon the
conduct of the majority in the United States
Senate in refusing hearing to this gentleman,
insists that having clearly demonstrated that
courtesy, iorbearancc and gentlemanly de-
meanor, are quite out Of place in the body to
which he belongs, he should now urge his
views in season and out of season, and, either
be heard himself or put an end to all other
discussions during the present session.
Sharing in the natural indignation of our
friend of the Gazette, we are not prepared to
adopt his conclusions We think the Senator
from Massachusetts has done his duty Self.
respect, and the honor and dignity of the
cause which he represents, forbid him to act
the part of n iactous demagogue, or to seek
by indirect and questionable means to force
his views upon the Senate Sooner or later
his proper time will come, and We have nc
fears that he will not do full justice to him
self his friends, and his opponents.
In the mean time there is an ample field
open before him. The voice which the craven
services of the Senate dared not hear in their
midst, may now very properly appeal directly
to the People No man did better service in
the Presidential campaign of 1913 than Sena-
tor sumner Let him enter into the present
canvass with equal spirit and devotion. To a
man like him it matters little whether he
speaks from the Senatorial chair, or the rough
rostrum Of a popular gathering. The power
of true and great man is in himself, and not
in his position, J. g. w.

cumstances in which the two branches Of the

other; yet it did not appear to me to be dlcta'

of MIR. Van Buren, and his friends has fully
confirmed that opinion. If Mr. Van Burcn

my judgment to warrant that Convention in
selecting him rs the standard bearer of an
Aai-SldUery purity.

occupied so nobly as the firm and unwaverln5

And rest upon these blossoms white;

For thee aud for the quiet night

A vision Of the long lost hours.

Tue darling of her household band,
So radiant seemed her upward way,
We carly felt the Father hand
The Spring is here. and roses bloom
Her fair hand planted long ago,
And round her dear familiar home
Her lilies droop their bells of snow.
Another Spring remains for her
And aowers in bolier beauty clad.
Where brighter streams than earth has known

the efforts which are maintained to conceal the
treaty which is making between them, have
been able to discover what has been decided
upon hitherto. 1t has been agreed that Russia
shall extend her dominion into Turkey; Austria
into Piedmont; and Prussia into the canton of
Neufchate In the meantime, the combined
fleets of the respective parties are to maintain
such an attitude with respect to England as will
prevent all interference from that power What
