Before the committee of the Massachusetts

to expunge the resolution of censure on re-
cord against Senator Sumner, on bis resolu'
tiohs to erase from the battle.fags all emblems
of the late war, o number of bitter speeches
were made Among them was Mr.. Hoyt, the
originator of the resolution oil censure, VINO
declared his Intention never to forgive the
South, and to teach his boy the same lesson
of perpetual hatred. William Lloyd Garrison
followed in long arraignment OF Mr.. Sumner
for his lenlency toward The rebels, and seemed
especially disturbed because the senator had
called them "fellow- citizens" when ne should
have said "rebels or traitors" he regretted
TO hear 30 few references TO " rebellion" aud
treason" and lamented the tendency to lor-
get and forgive the past, things which ougnt
never to be done. Perpetual hatred for the
South was Mr.. Garrlson's standard OF loyalty
and patriotism, and upon this he rang the
changes with fanatical Zeal.
