AUGUSTA, MAINE, July 81. 1872.
Hon. Charles Sumncn--U. S. Senator
4 DEAR Sm;-YOur letter published IN
the papers Of this morning. will create pro-
found pain md regret among your former
political friends throughout New Engand.
Your poWer to injure Gen. Grant was ex-
hausied in your remarkable speech in the
Senate. Your power to injurc yourself.
was not fully exercised until you auuouDc.
ed an open allegiance with the southern
seeessionisis in their efforts to to destroy
tho republican party of the nation.
4 have but recently read with much To-
terest the eircumstantial aud minute &C.
CONT given by you, 10 the fourth volume
Of your works, of the manner in which
you were struck down in the Senate cham.
Der in 1856, for defending the rights of
the negro. The democratic party through
out the South, aud TO your own showing
to some extent in the North also, approved I
that assault upon you. Mr. Toombs of :
Georgia openly announced his approval of ;

months after its occurrence, wrote let.
ter TO South Carolina in iulsome eulooy

e would indeed have been rash proph- :.
t who predicted your fast alliance six. =.
cen years after with Messrs. Toombs and =.
Jaws in their efforts to reinstate their =
wn party in power. Ia all the startling l.,
'utations of American politics nothing so &C.
arveIous has ever occurred as the fel. !,
wship of Robert Toombs, Jefferson Da. a..
is and Charles Sumner in a joint effort -
drive the republican party from power &c
I'd hand over the government to the prac- -,
cal control Of those who so recently
ught to destroy it. ....s.. -;
1t is of no avail for you to take refuge ;.

ment, (which | do not in fact believe -,
at Horace Greeley would remain firm
his republican principles, he would he y,
