Grave Senators went out of their way to be polite, and even pro-slavery men treated me with distinguished consideration.

My Washington life had been eminently agreeable, and I dreaded changing popularity for public denunciation.
But I remembered my Red Sea, and my motto--"Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward." The duty of destroying that pro-slavery influence was plain.

All the objections were for fear of the consequences to me.

I had said God should take care of these, and mailed the letter, but I must leave Washington.

Mr.Greeley should not discharge me.
