Z Fit Man for a ct Service.

What man can more appropriately give ex-
preston to the sense of the nations loss, with
eloqnence that shall commemorate our great
calamity to the civilized world and to future
ages, than CHARLES SUMNER !? He was with
Mr.. Lincoln in his late visit to Richmond; be
stood By his side when his magnanimous soul
took its flight; he shared largely his conf
dence, and that OF his family; above all, he
has been himself martyr to the same bar
barism that has now struck more fatally a
more conspicuous victim. Let Charles Sum-
ner then. on fitting occasion, In Washington,
in New York, or in Boston utter before his
sympathizing countrymen those appropriate
and eloquent words with which this tragic
and memorable event shall be handed down
to history.
