 A ere mustering, and shedding tlio lirst

 they w.-ro assailed by the mob on their 

 ii through that city. Governor Andrew's 

 raphie dispatch to Mayor Brown, praying 

 him to have tho bodies of tho slain "laid out, 

 -ve.l in ieo, and tenderly sent forward to 

 hi:n at tho expense of the Commonwealth of 

 Massachusetts," was expressive both of the doop 

 humanity of its author and of the reluctance of 

 the Northern people to believe that a terrific 

 struggle had begun, in which rivers of blood 

 would flow. Governor Andrew was equally 

 in raising the Massachusetts contingent 

 of three years' volunteers, and was laborious in 

 his efforts to aid every provision for the com- 

 fort of our sick and wounded soldiers. He was 

 four times reflected Governor, holding that po- 

 sition till January, 1866, and was only then 

 released from the office by his positive declina- 

 tion of another renominntion, in order to attend 

 to his private business, as the pecuniary sacrifice 

 involved in holding the office was more than 

 he was able to sustain, and his health was seri- 

 ously affected by his arduous labors. In 1802 

 he was one of the most urgent of the northern 

 Governors in impressing upon the administration 

 at Washington the necessity of adopting tho 



emancipation policy, and of accepting tho ser- 

 vices of colored trunj.-i. In September, 1H02, at 

 perhaps tho darkest hour in the history of the 

 war, ho led tho way to a meeting of Govern- 

 ors of tho Northern States at Altoona, lYnn- 

 pylvania, to devise ways and means to en- 

 courage and strengthen tho hands of tho Gov- 

 ernment. Tho address of the Governors to the 

 people of the North wa.s prepared by him. 

 The distinguished ability which shone out in his 

 administration as Governor of Massachusetts, 

 the many sterling qualities which were summed 

 up in his character, his social address, and the 

 charm of his conversational powers, which were 

 brilliant, together with his clear and forcible 

 style as an orator, will ever remain impressed 

 on tho memories of all who know him. Soon 

 after tho expiration of his last term as Govern- 

 or, he was tendered and declined tho presi- 

 dency of Antioch College, Ohio. He presided 

 over tho first National Unitarian Convention 

 (held in 1865), and was a leader of the conser- 

 vative wing of the denomination, or those who 

 believed with Channing, and the early Unitari- 

 ans, hi the supernaturalism of Christ's birth 

 and mission, as opposed to Theodore Parker and 

 his disciples.
