that Mr. Sumner wrote a glowing
letter to John Bright in praise Of Min.
'ster johnson, 80 warm Z in it's ,eulogy
that MIR. Bright, was anxious to hurry
up TO London at once to see Mr.. Sum
ner's paragon, the Nation says
"Moreover, aftcrthe treaty arrived
here, Mr.. Sumner, on gthen 18th of
January last, wrote @ to Mr., Bright
com nending it, and on the 18th, after
dining with Grant, added a postscript,
with even stronger scommendation,
thus confirming the confidence of tho
British Cabinet in Mr.. johnson. The
subsequent speech, therefore, was to
Mr.. Bright aud others painful sur
prise" Commenting further On the
somewhat extraordinary part this
chairman Of the Senate Foreign Com.
mittee took in the matter, it.aays -;
"From gentleman in that position to
. gentleman in Mr.. .Bright's about a
gentleman in Mr.. Johnsou's, tho let

characteristics and many Of the con-
sequences of n state paper Of the FIRST
order J; and it,oilght 20 have made tho
delivery of Mr.. Summers speech, and
the uproar and alarm and loss Of pro-

impossible." The most lenient view
of the, .mattor is that taken by the
New York Eveainq Posi-, which thinks
"there must be mistake somewhere"

Important that tho recruits who swell
our ranks should find nothing in, our
party name, as they will fnd nothing
IN our party principles, to throw them

For, this reason, the plain broad phrase

which the Republicans will not touch,
