COMPLIMENT TO SENATOR SUMNER.
The illustrated London News Of Angus,
2jst, has portrait and biography Of
Senator Sumner, to whom it pays the
following compliment
Several of his speeches have been
repu blished IT. this country in various
editions, and have been read by English
men more than those OF any other Amer.
lcan orator. The unfold truths which
appeal to the primary and universal in
stlnctS OF human nature, and, as such
address men of all nations. In this
respect, as also in the luxuriance and
elaborate finish Of his style, he bears no
ncoasidefable cmblance to Edmund
Burke. The portrait of the English and
that OF the American statesmen, we NAV
add, also discovers still further resem
blance, which has often been noticed"
