uumoved by popular clarnor. The Nemesis
which SO often follows in the footsteps of
public wrong, or indiscrouou, has been
trading hard upon the heels Of Mr.. Summer.
and has swiftly overtaken him. "The
Senator" he said to Mr.. Trumbull.- on1y

II can hardly be otherwise than that now,
when others assume toward AIr. Sumner q
