AN Ex-SLAvE's Mr.. Philip
Martin of Topsham, Me-, a colored mau
and an ex-slave, addresses letter to
Charles Sumner, desiring light upon a
knotty point Of political ethics. He first
justifies himself for addressing Mr.. Sum-
ner as "brother," on the ground Of
peculiar bond of consanguinity," to wit
When Sumner was Knocked down in the
United States Senate, he was Knocked
down at slave auction block iu the
Sunny South. And then he propounds,
somewhat verbosely il must be confessed,
the dilemma into which Summers letter
to his colored brethren down South, aud
the reply it extorted from William Lloyd
Garrison, had placed him. Alter read
ing Summers letter he had said "Well,
l shall never throw my vote for Ulysses,
never" Just here some one placed in
his hands Garrison's letter in reply. He
read 1t, expecting TO fiud perfect accord
between Garrison, the teacher. and Sum-
ner, the pupil. His establishment was
great to find them as wide apart as the
poles. One says, don't vote for Ulysses"
the other says, "don't vote for Horace. 4"
Here the ex.slave's mind becomes be-
wlldered. lie wants light. With him
1t Is no longer question, which is the
better man, Graut or Greeley but.whch
Is the wlsest, most dsnterested and un-
selfish adviser, Charles Sumner or Lloyd
Garrison. Which shall he follow ? Md
touchingIy the cx-save makes his appeal
to the pupil Sumner: ali you could by
any means prove that Garrison is fossil,
or could put him out of the way and
destroy his influence; if you could only
annlhllate him with your pondcrous learn
ing then my path would be plain. You
sec my dllemna-can you help me ~
Shall this appeal remain unheard
