This epistle Thaddeus Stevens and his friends
consider that MIR. Harvey had no business to
write; and by way of letting all our foreign
Ministers know that they are a lot of sweeps
and laCkeys with no right to opinions of their
own, these liberal politicians made up their
minds that If Mr.. Sumner and the Senate
would not agree to cut Oft Harvey's ratlons
by name In the Diplomatic Appropriation
bill, the mission TO Portugal should be abolished
outright Comment upon such q proceeding
is needless. Even the radical Senators had the
grace to be ashamed of it; and Mr.. Fessen-
den spoke on the subject with some little
glow OF wounded seli-respect. But under the
whip OF Sumner. Mr.. Fessenden and the
rest crouched down, Just as Sumner himself
had croucbed under the whip of Stevens; and
the Senate actually Joined with the House In
snatching away Mr.. Harvey's dinner off h 5
table, because he was so audacious as to express
his own views in a letter to the head of his
own department. To have stopped the salary
Of Secretary Seward or the President would
have been not one whit more decent and con.

more courageous. And ii the Senate has any
