Eulogy ON Charles Sumner.

PcrnapS the greatest speech ever De
liVered by Mr.. Lamar---a, speech that
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land caused him to be regarded as
the inspired pacifcator--was that de-
livered on the 2Sth Of April, 1874, In
eulogy of Charles Sumner, OF Massa-
chusetts. The effect upon the country
was electrical. That speech, II he had
done nothing else. would have been
sufficient to link his name with immor-
tally. 1t is said that the faces of
the members were rapt in silent awe,
| and the Speaker, Mr.. Blaine. who had
SO often encountered the orator In
high debate and always found in him
a foeman worthy Of his steel, sat mo-
/ tionless, with his face turned away and
\ his eyes filed with tears

speech was the introduction by Hon.
