All this gave to moral ideas a supremacy which ordi- narily they do not possess in national affairs, and, added to the influence of those who watched events chiefly to see how the great interests of humanity were advanced or retarded, opened up an opportunity for the acquittance by the nation of what had been re- ally the nation's sin. Thus, partly from selfish motives, partly from much higher ones, was brought about the abolition of slavery throughout the United States. In this memorable conte...st, what part did Charles Sumner take? When you contemplate his lifelong principles you can tell in advance what measures he urged, and with what spirit he urged them.
A civil war is a terrible ordeal, not only for the State, but for individuals. Not only is the destiny of the na- tion made to hang upon the result of a battle or a cam- paign, not only are the bands of civil society loosened, and the ordinary restraints upon the citizens relaxed; but the prominent personages in the Cabinet and in the field have pressed upon them duties which test to the utmost their intellectual and moral calibre, for they are com- pelled to solve questions and settle upon movements and lines of policy of momentous consequence to the com- munity, with little opportunity for mature deliberation and none for aid outside their own genius and spirit.
