Brigadier-General Sam Sumner, an excellent officer, who had the second cavalry brigade, took command of the cavalry division, and Wood took command of our brigade, while, to my intense delight, I got my regiment. I therefore had command of the regiment before the stiffest fighting occurred. Later, when Wood was put in command in Santiago, I became the brigade commander.
Once it was Lawton, tall, bronzed, commanding, taciturn but fluent when he did speak or Kent, or Sumner, or little Jerry Carter himself. And once, a soldier stepped into the circle of firelight, his heels clicking sharply together; and Crittenden thought an uneasy movement ran around the group, and that the younger men looked furtively up as though to take their cue from the Colonel.
Nothing is left you, sir, but puny sectional questions and petty strifes about slavery and fugitive-slave laws, involving no national interests." Mr. Sumner had but two coadjutors in opposing slavery and in advocating freedom when he entered the Senate, but before he died he was the recognized leader of more than two-thirds of that body.
Sumner and Waller wrote from Dacca that Jusserat Khan had refused to restore the Factory cannon, and to pass their goods without a new parwana from Murshidabad.
Each has for its object the PUBLIC SAFETY. For this a Senator is expelled; for this, also, the President is expelled. Salus Populi Suprema Lex. The proceedings in each case must be in subordination to this rule." Thus, Mr. Sumner would have removed the President by an ordinary concurrent resolution of Congress. Johnson's conviction.
"General Johnson is a brave and honorable gentleman," Alice said. "I wonder who could have informed him?" Waters looked at her quickly. But he did not voice the thought upon his tongue. April 24 General E.V. Sumner arrived with orders to take charge of the department of the Pacific. General Johnson's resignation was already on its way to Washington.
He defined war as the temporary repeal of all the ten commandments, and an enthronement of all the crimes. In retrospect we know that Sumner overstated his case. His argument against physical force would forbid the police in great cities, the militia on the frontier, and would leave communities exposed to the ravages of brigands on land and pirates by sea.
"Oh, how thankful I am that you have come," cried Bob gratefully. "I thought I was a goner." "Don't waste time here," exclaimed Captain Sumner. "These shots will alarm those people we left at the ice cave." "That is true," said Bob. "Come on we must rescue my father!" And he led the way, with the captain at his side.
It was as poetic a friendship as that between Emerson and Carlyle; but whereas Emerson and Carlyle had differences of opinion, Sumner and Longfellow were always of one mind.
Sumner in his least serious moments was often self-conscious, but never affected. He talked of himself as an innocent child talks. On all occasions he was thoroughly real and sincere, and he would sometimes be as much abashed by a genuine compliment as a maiden of seventeen. At the same time Sumner was so great a man that it was simply impossible to disguise it, and he made no attempt to do this.
