itudes of Sumner, or the insolent bravado of Wilson. Bankers and brokers muttered warnings to the new Administration that it would be left without funds if it refused to compromise with secession. Sumner's speech in the Senate, Feb. 12, 1861. Works, vol. v. p. 473. The master spirits in Buchanan's Cabinet when Congress met were secessionists,—Cobb, Secretary of the Treasury, who left it bankrupt December 10; Floyd, Secretary of War, who after ordering the transfer of ordnance from Pittsburg to Ship Island and Galveston, and obstructing the reinforcement of the national forts at the South, resigned on the 29th; and Thompson, Secretary of the Interior, equally disloyal with Floyd, who lingered till January 8.

John Douglass, Pittsburg, January 22: This letter was written in reply to a request for the senator's opinion as to the propriety of an amendment of the Constitution recognizing the Supreme Being, afterwards called for by a meeting held at Allegheny, Penn., Jan. 27, 1864. （New York Tribune, Feb. 1, 1864.) Sumner's answer disturbed some of his Hebrew friends, who expressed their dissent in letters to him. John Sherman approved, Feb. 8, 1869, in the Senate such recognition.— Duties will keep me here, so th<
