Whittier on Everett.

a very feeling and apprcciatiye letter from the
poet Whittier was read at the late special meeting
Of the Massachusetts Historical Society 1t was the
warm and glowing tribute of libcral-minded and
sympathetic heart to the unblemshcl life and tried
patriotism Of the great orator and statesman. The
following is an extract
My secluded country life has afforded me few
opportunities Of personal intercourse with him.
while my pronounced radicalism on the great cues
ton which has divided popular feeling rendered
our political paths widely divergent. Both of us
early saw the danger which threatened the country
In the language Of the prophet, We saw the sword
coming upon the land but while hs believed in the
possibility Of averting it by concession and compro-
mise, !, on the contrary, as firmly believed that
such course could only strengthen and confirm
what | regard as gigantic conspiracy against the
rights and liberties, the Union and the life Of the
nation.
Recent events have certainly no. tended to change
this belief on my part; but in looking over the
past, while sec little or nothing to retract in the
matter Of opinion, am saddencd by the reflection
that through the very intensity Of my convictions
| may have done injustice to the motives Of those
with whom differed. As respects Edward Everett,
it seems TO me that only within the last four wears
have truly known him.
In that brief period, crowded as it /. with whole
life work Of conservation 10 the Union freedom and
glory of his country he not only commanded respect
and reverence, but concentrated upon himself in a
most remarkable degree the love Of all loyal and
generous hearts. We have seen in these wear. Of
trial, very great sacrifices offered upon the altar Of
patriotism, wealth ease home love life itself
But Edward Everett did more than this; he laid
on the altar not only his time talents and culture
but his pride Of opinion his long cherished views
Of policy, his personal and political predictions
and prejudces, his constitutional hstdousnoss Of
Conservatism, and the carefully elaborated ymmctry
Of his public reputation. With a rare and noble
mognanimity, he met, without hesitation, the de-
mand Of the great occasion Breaking away from
all the besctmcnts Of custom and association. he
forgot the things that behind, and with an eye
single u present duty pressed forward toward the
mark Of the high calling Of Divine Providence in
the events of our time. All honor to HIM If we
mourn that he is now beyond the reach of our poor
human praise Jet rcycrcnty trt, that he ha, re-
ceiyed that higher plaudit We'll done, thou good
ond,faithful servant

his thoughts by writing was also i'm
practicable, as his right arm was broken.
But as soon as the condition of his hRc-
tuPad bones would allow. the medical
gentteInen had to bandage and fastel
The upper third of the arm lTFhere the
fracture existed, } SO as to enable him to-
use the lower part, and the hand for
writing. In this manner he eOnYeFsed
with the President during theIaSf days
of that lamented functiOnaFies life. The
President would sit at his bedside and
express himself on the exciting Quas-
tons of the day, when Seward would
write his views on slate. In the same
manner he conducted his interviews
before and after the assassination, with
9fr. Hunter, Assistant Secretary ofState,
and thus actually conducted the affairs
Of the Department of State, the papers,
dispatches, documents, etc, of which
had to be carried to his bedside even
during the critical periods of his Illness.
II was the same patriotic restleSsness
and activity of SIR. Seward which pre-
vailed on the physicians to send for
skillful physician of New York, who.
arranged an artificial wire apparatus in
his mouth, which enabled him to speak
without risk, even before his jawbone
was healed. This apparatus caused the
illustriOus patriot at first e1cructaung
pains, and atone time became displac-
/ ed; SO that the New York ply stefan had
to be telegraphed for in order to replace
it But all these great and little annoy
ances did not for a moment disturb
Stewards Philosophic intellect, nor slack
en- his patriot activity.
Few men in history have evinced
such sublimity OfchaFacter and strength
of mind as William Henry Seward on
I his bed of sickness, surrounded by the
! terrors of ASSASSINATION and conspiracy.
He maintained these qualities even
when, after his partial recovery, he re-
ceived the additional blow of the intel
I ligence of the death of his faithful wife.

The great obstacle 10 the growth OF
right sentiment in the South does not
come from the enforced and unwilling
change in the labor system. 1t springs
from sentiment, from the hatred of
the North and its free ideas and institu-
tions, which Is the chief inspiration Of
the secession and disloyal element.
And this sentiment is still strong and
defiant. II IS sustained and cultivated
by the leaders of society, the clergy and
the educated women of the South. II is
the unanimous report Of thosewho know
the Southern people-of persons who
have escaped from the South since tho
war ended, and of prominent visitors
that the clergy and the women are still
bitterly hostile to the general govern
ment. The clergymen of Richmond
lately refused 10 cooperate in the cir
cuIation of the publication of the New
York Tract Society; they said, No; we
will act through our Virginia tract so
ciety. The Virginia Bible society de-
clines to have anything 10 do with the
national Bible society. They repeII all
attempts of northern ministers and col
porteurs to enter their territory, and
whatever shall be done in the South by
missionaries and teachers from the
North will be done in spite of the dis
approval and opposition of the southern
clergy. There will be exceptions, but
this is the general fact. An intelligent
gentlemen who has resided in Rich
Inond for the last five years, and tho
roughly understands the feelings of the
educated and influential classes of the
South, Sums up the prospect for the fu-
ture thus; the politicians will yield
readily; they see that the present course
ofevents is not to be resisted, and they
will conform from motives of seIf-jnte-
rest. The clergy and the women can
afford 10 he obstinate and ugly, and
they will be, for a long time to come.
In this we have key to the whole
natter-Political reorganization will be
easy and rapid; religious and social re-
generation win he slow and difficult.
The South will be our. chief missionary
ground for long time To come.

Mr.. Dana promises that the Republican

" Avoiding alike extremes of blind lau--
