Far manv years he was identified with, Or

nnhI;c life cf ideas which have since become
trium,.h.nt. The elevation of his senti-

circumstances but with no change of politi-
o., or moral n,Irrose ia as clearly between
,,e Panubl;can and the Democratic theories
Of ,oyernmen, as any election issue has been
since lS56- Mr.. Sumner forge.s that he is a
Renublican: forge.s that he is Senator
from Nassschusetts: forpe;s that slavery il
| ,holisbed and an,i-slavery rhetoric and
,n,;-slayery tactics have gone out of date.
The constituencies to whom Senators look
nr snnroyal and encouragement are the
government. and they Judge their repsenta-
lives in both the executive ard the Iegisla,
tive departments by the same tests and hold
,h.m - ,be same strict account. An,ici-
n,,;ra the favorable Judgment Of his CON-
s.;.rencv ard OF those which, for nearly

The pent-up wrath OF the great Massachu-
set,s Senator found free vent in the Senate
Yesterday. In an elaborate, powerful speech,
stocked with authority and quotations, he
nroceeded mercilessiy, almost savagely, to
arraipn tie President for nepotism, gill
t.Iing unconstitutional action and personal
untitness for his high trust. 1t cannot be
Ser;sJ that Mr.. Sumner has had deep per.
sonal proyocation 10 this attack, and the
: s,;uo;uo sense of personal injury which ht
y feels pervades the entire effort, giving edge
