Permit me, my dear Mr. Sumner, to add my humble tribute of admiration to
the congratulations you are receiving from your friends upon the successful
defence of freedom made by you this morning. You can afford to look quietly on
and let the excitement pass by; the truths brought forward by you to-day must
and will make a lasting impression even here, where prejudice holds the common
mind fast bound in ignorance and error.
