From the Graphic.
1.-THE character and ability Of Charles
Sumner are too well known to need any
comment he,e. He has died at his post
after a service Of nearly twenty-five years
in the cause of freedom aud the country,
aud he will be mourned by all classes OF.
his countrymen Without distinction OF par.
y or race. Mr.. Sumner was enc Of the
marked mcu OF his period. He was great
in many respects, if not in most. As a
student he was ~tireless. and as a scholar
he had few, if any, equals in public life.
He belonged to the small class OF men who
tower above the political notorieties and
ochemers Of the time as statesmen. His
philanthropy was a matter of principle.
His regard for the negro race. he Iabored
so hard to emancIpate and eufranchise
was almost palernaI. His personal char
acter was above the reach OF calumny.
His name is indehbIy impressed upon the
age in which he acted such Il con picuous
part, aud his memory will be one Of the
nations cherished treasures. Thus they
depart: Chase and Seward, Greeley and
Stanton, Hale aud Lincoln. Andrew and
L~ovcjoy, and Steveus-the men who made
an epoch and were its pillars have gone
on F.; and last, though not least, the great
Senator closes his argument and leaves Il
grateful aud admirug country the legacy
OF his example aud influence"
FROM the Springfield Republican
The idea which Charles Sumner lived
to maintain was the moral power Of the
cause of freedom. There have been in
our history men of great mental grasp and
weight, us Webster; there have been
men Of great delicacy and shrewdness III
the management of men ami affairs, as
Seward there have been nen of more
magnetic force and who seemed to carry
larger hearts, us Chase. But the man
who stood solely on the moral right and
wrong Of freedom and slavery, and who
made the moral argument u swift and II
terrible one, was Sumner. In this light
he stands without a single peer in the his
tory of Massachusetts aud among the con-
te,nporari2s. Others managed, hesita-
ted, doubted. or were distracted and in
