Vice Pre.Ident Wilson. or Tuesday
evening in presiding At Mr.. Edward
Jenkins lecturer. The Vice Presi.
dent had sgreed to be present, but did
not feel that his health was yet quite
adequate to the effor, and exPosure.--'
Mr.. Sumner was found to be locking
Unexpectedly we'll again. Hehas very
greatly improved in appearance since
the time he was seen in public here
last autumn. TIE reception gircnhim
was immensely enthusiastic. /. was
an ovation that was again and again
renewed, and was prolonged se*eral
minutes. II the popular msnlfesta-
ton is any criterion from which to
Judge, Charles Sumner is a stronger
man to day in the hearts OF the people
than he ever was. l don't think this
distinction accorded him on our streets
and in our public places. even at the
time when he returned suffering from
the assault OF Preston S. Brooks, was
equal 10 that which is witnessed here
now. He makes - much sensation ~
did Daniel Webster himself. All eyes
arc tryned toward him, and crowds
gather about il he pauses, in the same
way that the "godlike Daniel" was
greeted when his worshipers used to
assemble about him in our msrts of
m.mmon. Mr.. Webster'S port wss
most imposing. He was a marked
man from that fact alone. Mr.. Sum.
ner is nearly az majestic. His great
height m axes up in some degree for the
superior rnsssiveness that pertsinedto
Webster's physique. The homage paid
to Mr. Summers intellect and to his
patriotic service is more general than
was that accorded TO Webster. E5
hs. d moral power with the people
that the latter lacked, though II was
partially made up for by An intensity
Of admiration Of hil more immediate
parsonal followers that 10 not exhibited
toward Mr.. Sumner. But it would be
difficult to find any decided enemies of
Mr.. Sumner in the State. He has
outliyed almost all that porsonsl anti
pa;hy which was 90 severely bestowed
.spon him in the early stsysV Of hfs
public life. His detection LIST yes:
was q sorc trial to some Of his Repuh.
licaa friends, and they osid impatient
and unkird things about it. All such
animo,ities appear now to have van.

in the party, even in the .hickest OF
thr Presidential canvass. A. the larg.

southern section o. this city las, year. .
prom,nen, and popular officer
WAS addressing the people. In defend.
ing the President, he incsu;iously pro.
ceeded to stack Mr.. Sumner. To his
apparent smazenent, and certain dis
com6ture, 4 storm Of hisses instantly
greeted him, and he was very giaG 10
desist ard change his topic Immediately
All prejudices that then existed have
apparently vanished. Mr.. Su,rner's
independence and purity have stood
out grRndsr than ever against the
hack background Of the revelations OF
the present year. Those who differ
wides, from him in opinion do 10.
withhold their reverence for his in.
,egrsy and his intellectual power
With or without party to back to
him, he is far the strongest man in the
State, and unless l greatly rn;s.sks
there will be evidence Of this to satisfy
everybody before the end Of another
year is reached.
