guardian and natural protector.
In the deep narrow valley at the foot of
the hill lay an humble cottage, hurled in the
shadow of its lofty neighbor. The old cot
tager, Melt MM., was the minstrel and wise
man of the entire barony. In those days,
the ofliees were commonly united. :Ind the
harper who delighted high-horn lords and
dames with his minstrelsy, was the reposi
tory of the pennants . unwritten lre, the sto-e
ry-teller whom they revered. Melehoir pre
tendedto little of the latter eharacter, ex
cept when it was forced upon him, or could
he made advantageous to his interest. Al
bert, his adopted son, was n manly youth,
deeply versed in the gay science, and yet the
master of a spirit well fitted to lead in the
front ranks of strife. The hand that ran so
lightly over the gentle guitar, was the hard
est in the contest, surest in the blow. Well
worthy was he to have been a pupil of Scott's
warrior minstrel, "the jovial harper. N 5 )1,1

Or call his song untrue ;
For this, when they the goblet plied,
And such rude taunts had chaffed his pride,

And tuneful hands were stainet with blood;

Of such mould were the minstrels of for

Thr adopted mother of Albert wits foster
mother to the Countess Li lien, and thus from
earliest childhood notwithstanding the dis
parity of their conditions an intimacy had
grown between the peasent's sum and the
daughter of Count Budolin. She, the gent
lest and loveliest of all maidens, was not the
one to think of rank, and his strange wild
heart burning with poetic fire, knew it would
disgrace the friendship of none, even the loft
iest. And no dream id love haul yet entered
into the thoughts of either. Their ages were
the same, hut thr matured soul of Albert
naturally found itself sustaining her frailer
and womanly spirit.---difference compensat
ed for the equality in years, and placed him
in the relation which man instinctively bears
to the other - sex. Their meetings had al
ways been frequent, almost daily, neither of
them dreamed of the inevitable result.
Though the peasant'saon and the nobleman's
daughter might be freely together as foster
brother and sister, who could suppose they
would dare to form, a strong tie ?
They were now sixteen, and just arrived

serve, her absence from their usual place of
meeting, and above all her tone as she utter
ed these words, "We are sixteen," convoy
ed it also to Albert's mind. Though yet
unworn in the world's ways, and trembling
with the delicious. consciousness of a first
love, she had sufficient pride of ancestorial
birth to feel that - they must meet no more.
But Albert was mere hopeful. He too saw
.the barrier between them, but be also knew
the power of an invincible energy, and re
solved never to yield his faith.
It was several days since the had last seen
each other, and both looked eagerly forward
to a grand fete whiCh the Count was prepar
ing to give his dependents. Such had been
an immemorial custom in the barony, and
one that ho' had hardly dared to interrupt,
though his taste was not in merry - makings
for the poor. Perhaps he endured' it less un

dancing in the great hall of the castle, amus
ed the people, and delighted not unfrequent
ly the surly Count himself.
Tho morning of the festival dawned, and
neither the Countess Linen or the young min
strel peasant imaginod that'illeir respective
fates were crowded together within that sin
gle day.
The great court of the castle was early
thrown open for the vhssals ns they assem
bled from every part of 'the barony. It
was the only place near by that was adapted
for such occasions. Prom the walls of the
castle itself, a long smooth plat of ground
stretched even to the verge of one of those
tremulous gorges so common in that broken
country. It was a fissure between two por
tions of the same hill, running sheer down
for a humlred feet, until where a mountain,
torrent dashed fiercely along over its rocky
floor. The width of this fearful chasm was
not more than thirty feet, and the two edges
were connected by a light immovable bridge.
This was the only defence of the castle on
that side, and there, at least, made it almost
impregmible.
The sport commenced, but Albert took no
part, and looked carelessly on the scene. Al
most his entire attention was directed to
wards the young Countess, in watching for
a stray look, in receiving a chance smile,
and more than once her shy innocent glance,
resting on him for a moment, sent, the blood
thrilling swiftly through his veins. Ile

and of course discharged the shaft. It
whizzed swiftly through the air and lodged
in it tree which projected over the fearful fis
sure already mentioned. All hurried to the
,pot.
The trunk of the tree was only a few feet
from the narrow bridge, but whote it pushed
its boughs broadly out, there was nothing ho
neat h them except the torrent which roared
under the cliff. The tree itself could be easi
ly climbed by a hardy mountaineer, but un
fortunately, the arrow had lodged in a dead
branch, which seemed unable to boar the
weight of a man. Any attempts from the
land to loosen it, would inevitably cause it to
drop into the torrent.
At one glance the Court saw all the haz
ard at an attempt to regain the arrow. Yet
as a word of magic, whose'loss would be fol
lowed by a curse, he could not bear to loose
it. Thither his castle, anything than that on
which his life depended.
Five hundred crowns, - cried he, "to the
man who will plare the silver arrow in my
hands:" Therewasawistfulbuzzingumong
his retainers, but no one stirred. The Count
marked this and knew what must he the price
of such a fearful danger.
" I will grant,' he said slowly and loudly,
'any boon in my power and consistent with
my honor, which he may demand." At
those words he saw a youth striving to break
loose from those from those who would re
strain h'm. The Count continued, "the re
ward will be given by the countess Lilien."
Albe s rt broke desperately from the grasp of
his friends.
If succes was in the power of man, his
light agile form seemed most likely to obtain
it. It was easy to assend the tree up to the
point where the dead limb shot off from the
trunk. Here' he stopped: a moment and
coolly formed his plan. There was no other
course than to advance boldly upon the rot
ten branch, without any support over head,
and to return in the
: seine manner. Ho
stepped lightly and nervously forward. His
eye was fixed upon the silver arrow, as it
glittered before him ; loosely hanging to
the branch with nothing between it and
the torrent but an hundred feet of air. It
was reached and in the youth't hand.— Had
he moved on without, stopping, the decayed
wood might have borne its burthen a little
longer, but the unavoidable pause in grasp
ing the shaft.brougbt his wholeweight for
an instant upon a particular Point. The
branch cracked, He threw the arrow at the
Count's feet just as the bough broke from
the tree with a crashing npise and fell down
the abyss. A cry of terror burst from the
crowd.
In that dreadful moment, when his solid
support_gave way; the youth's daring cool
ness did not fall him. With si.iiervous ef

gers just closed upon the rail, and though the
sudden shock in falling nearly swung him
away, life depened upon his grasp, and ho
steadily maintained it for a 'econd. Then
he lightly leaped upon the bridge, crossed it,
and picking the arrow from the ground,
whence no one had thought of removing it,
placed it in the Court's hands.
The peasants broke into shouts of triumph.
Even the Court's harsh features wore a smile
of admiration as he said :
Now, gallant boy ruik the boon,
Albert looked stendiVtib t the young Coun
tess until she shivered under his gaze. He
stepped forward and offered to take her band
within his own. Trembling with recent e.x
eitemCnt, and conscious of nothing but the
movements of one, so thiriumlously preserved
to her love, she yielded to the only impulse
of her heartand kneeled with him at, her fa
ther's feet.
Count. Bud°lin whitened with rage at this
presumptuous act. A storm of passion swept
into his heart, and almost burst the frame
that was unable to contain it. For a few
moments his retainers looked to see him go
into convulsions, as often had happened when
anything roused his ungovernable fury. At
last, he spoke 71 few words in a hoarse, stam
mering- hiss.
Bind and dungeon tirt madman' On with

- Without noticing Linen lie walked hnr
rietlly to the castle, the silver arrow yet in
his hands. In hi; joy at its recovery he had
vowed not to part with it lhrouglo'alt. the

very house of Rudolin. This was done by
palming ott another child as the daughter of
the Countess. Her mistress snnn 'died, and
who was therefore suspected or knew more
than the confidential nurse."
"What proof is there that you do not
lie!" said the Count, without manifesting
belief or disbelief in the,story.
My own oath and the attested confession
of my wife, just before her own death, are
sufficient. But there is another kind of tes

ing arm of Lilien up to her snowy shoulder,
but there was no trace upon that soft, fresh
skin.
"This should suffice for you. I demand
my daughter Lilien."
"It is enough !—take her. By heaven,
false man, I might have known that no blood
of mine could have sought to mingle itself
with a peasant race. Aye! bring- forward
young Albert. He shall have the very boon

"He is not my son: I adopted him many
years since," Melchoir replied.
"Then in the Fiend's name let them wed.
Summon the chaplain hither."
In a few minutes they were duly married.
" Melchoir, I have interrupted your story
—I will finish it for you. Count Rtalolin
found she. was not his daughter, and married
to a chance-born who felt it no disgrace to
mingle his poor blood with that of a traitor's
daughter. And the betrayed man soon wor
thily punished the traitor. Mark that part
of the story, false Melchoir. Now let this
merry making cease. Away I all of you."
"My Lord, Count has not quite

degradation of his race in that marriage, and
rage acainst him who had eansed it. He
tottered up to Melehoir and raised his arm ;
while his white lips whispered, " My blood

he dropped his arm and wavered a moment,

which he had held loosely in his hand, was
pointed upwards, and transfixed his body as
its whole weight pressed upon it. He stirred

NuTTEE, NEw YORK. Sept. 9, 1864.
The groat rebellion, which for more than
three; years has wrapped the nation in the
flames of civil war, draws near its crisis. Its
armies have been beaten, its territory has
been conquered, the forts and posts which it
treacherously seized have been occupied and
hell by the soldiers of the Republic, its for
eign allies have been detached from its sup
port, and its hostile arm, paralyzed by ex
haustion and discouraged by defeat, is Upheld
solely by the hope of polifieal victories to be
achieved by its allies in the Presidential elec-
thin of November next.
If the People in that e:Pction sustain the
Government, if they riiits4ort. its :just authori

measure, upon every net by which the Pon
,t;tutional President of the United States has
sought to defend and protect the life and lib
erties of the nation, OXoeutive power
is placed in his hands.
That Convention had no words of exulta
tion for (ir victories; no thanks and honors
for the soldiers and sailors who have shed
their blood to achieve them. While it de
nounces our Government for neglect of duty
toward our "fellow-citizens, who are now,
and long have been prisoners of war in a suf
fering condition," it hos nut even a syllable
of cen , nre fur those rebel authorities who,
with more than savage cruelty, and in utter
disregard of every dictate of humanity, as
wen /IS of every usage of civilized warfare,
have deliberately and With systemntie pur
pose inflicted upon those prisoners all t he tor
tore, of exposure, of neglect and starvation,
and have offered premiums for their murder
to the brutal guards to whose grim custody
they have been consigned. And, on the very
PVI , of the most glorious victories that have
ever crowned our arms after three years of
bloody, costly and successful war, when
three fourths of the territory originally held
by the rebels has passed into our hands; at
the very moment when the rebellion itself is
tottering to its fall, and the flag of our coun
try is rapidly advancing to its old supremacy,
the party represented at Chicago demands
that "immediate elects be made for a eessa
lion of hostil ities"—n step which would in
stantly arrest our conquering armies and
snatch from them the glofits of a final tri
umph, repeal the blockade, and throw the
whole rebel frontier open to the supplies they
so sorely need, secure the recognition of for
eign powers, and either accomplish their in
dependence or give them the ability to fight
for it four years longer.
We appeal to the people of the , United
States—lovers of the Union and friends of
Freedom—against the consummation of the
fool crime against both whic h the acts and
declarations of the Chicago Convention in
volve. We invoke them not to sanction
these principles and sentiments by electing
the candidate put forward to represent them.
We implore them, as they love their coun
try, as they seek the renewed integrity of its
territory, as they desire the peaceful protec
tion of its flag, and the blessing of its free
institutions and its equal laws for themselves
and their posterity, not to arrest the blow
which is just ready to descend upon the re
bellion now tottering to its'fall ; not to give
the rebels tithe to renew their strenght for
fresh . conflicts ;not, to aid those who would '
aid them in overthrowing our Government,
in destroying our Union, in plunging, into n
chaos or anarchy the great communities of
which the Constitution makes one groat and
glorious nation, and in thus extinguishing
finally and forever, the hopes of all who have !
faith in Freedom and the Rights of Men.

both alike seek its overthrow. Both demand
that the attempt to conquer armed rebellion
by force of arms shell be abandoned, And
both demand that, when the Government of
the United States shall have passed into the
hand of-men opposed to an armed defence of
the Government against rebellion, the war
shall end by peaceful conference of those al
lied powers. -What more than this could the
rebels ask or need for the consummation of
all their plans? We call upon the People
to bear in mind that, if they elect the candi
date of the Chicago Convention, they arrest
the Government in the execution of its plans
and purposes on the very eve of their fulfil
ment, and one-third of a year before any
; new administration can take its place. The
interval will blow) of hope and confidence
for the rebels, and of exultation for their al
lies in the loyal State?. In the Western
States armed preparations have already been
made by the disciples and advocates of seces
sion, to follow the example of the South, and
sever the West from the Federal Union.
The success of the Chicago programme in
November, will be the signal for carrying
these designs into execution ; and the fourth
of March will dawn upon a now Western
confedercy, aiming at independence, defying
the power of the national arms, and co-oper
ating with the slave power of the Southern
States in blotting from existence the free Re
public of the Western world.
We call upon the people to crush all these
schemes, and to brand their authors and al
lies with their lasting reprobatbin. We call
upon them to support the Government, to
quell the rebellion, to defend and preserve
the Union. We call upon them to stand by
the President who, under circumstances of
unparalleled difficulty, has wielded the pow
er of the nat ion with unfaltering courage and
fidelity ) with integrity which even calumny
has riot dared to impeach, and with wisdom
and prudence upon which success is even now
stamping the surest and the final seal. His
election will proclaim to the world the un
altered and unalterable determination of the
American People to quell the rebellion and
save the Union. It will strike down forever
the false hopes and expectations of the rebel
government., and proclaim to the people of
the rebel States that their only hope of peace
lies in abandoning-their hostility to the Gov
ernment and resuming their allegiance to the
Cowititution and Lowe of the United States.
We call upon the. Union Committees and
the Union Leagues, and upon nll loyal asso
ciationF, in every State, county end town, to .
perfect their organiZations ; to infuse fresh
vigor and activity into their operations; to
canvass carefully and promptly their, respec
' five districts to circulate documents and
newspapers containing just and forcible ex
positions of the merits of our cause; to coin-
LILL by_ assemblages oLthe people in _public
meetings, by pull icspeeches, by conversation,
by kttere and personal appeals, and in all just
and prober modes, the deceptive and perilous
sophistries of the agents and political allies
or the robellion. Let them be on their guard
against the arts of corruption and of intrigue
which will he brought, with unscrupulous
ili , peration, to hear upol'i them. The rebel
g ornnwn t. and these foreign powers most
deeply interested in our destruction, could
well afford to expend millions in overthrow
ing this administration, and placing in pow
er the nominees and representatives of the
Chicago Convention.
Th, , skies are bright and full of promise.
The lion-hearted citizen-soldiers of the Re
public march with steady step and unfalter
ing purpose to a speedy and glorious victory.
The heart of the people beats • true to, the
Union. Every triumph of thC 'Unjon arms
over the rebel troops arouses nfresh'tbd cour
age and confidence of Union men,'and chills
the heart and decimates the ranks of the sub
mission secessionists represented at Chicago.
A Union victory in l'l , lovembeg will end As.
hung and laborious strife. It will pars,,tr
the arm of the rebellion. It will:disperse i&
armies, destroy the hope by which the (kV ,
potism at Richmond now holds its subjects
in bondage, release the people of the. Sout
hern States from the enforced disloyalty, and
give them again the blessings of self-gov
ernment within the Union and under the
protecting Constitution and Flag of the U
nited States. It will enable our own gov
ernment to exchange the weapons of war for
the counsels of peace, to relax the stern con
trol over public action and public speech
which' a state of war renders unavoidable, to
restore our financial system, to dissolve all
military courts, and hand over again to the
civil tribunals of justice the punishment of
crimes and the preservation of public order,
and to restore their firesides and their homes,
clothed with honors and to be held in ever
lasting remembrance, that great army of our
citizen soldiers who have bared their breasts
against armed rebellion, and won the imper
ishable renown of sating the glorious Union,
for which their fathers and their brothers
died,

space of three years. Who his legal heir is
will be difficult to settle.
His first wife was the sister of Colonel
Bruce of Kentucky. the died in Lexington
from the neglect and bad treatment of her
debased, gambling and thieving husband.
His second wife was the negro wench' he had
with him during his residence in this city.
She is now in Kentucky.
His third wife is the daughter of Charles
Ready of Murfreesboro, and she is at Abing

negro wench has the oldest claim upon the
estate, bnt we leave this grave question of
law to be settled in the Confederate Courts,
or by special act of their Congress. .
Gen. Gillum is in our town, and brought
with him eighty-six of Morgan's men, on

IMPORTANT LETTER PIZOM
GENERAL WOOL
To the Editor of the New York Times:—
In on hour like this, when the very exist
of the Republic is at stake, the opinions of
such a man as General John E. Wool have
deep interest and significance. I send you
an extract from a letter just received from
that distinguished patriot in reference to the
pending issues:—
* * * I was more than delighted with
the views you entertain in regard to the elec
tion of McClellan to the Presidency of the
United States. You have said truthfully that
his election means the trailing of our flag
in the dust before its enemies, the entire sub
serviency of the North to the South ;" and
you might have - added, the surrender of the
United States to Jefferson Davis and his Gov
ernment. That such is the intention, if they
succeed in the election of McClellan, of the
leaders of this wide-spread conspiracy of
peacemakers, there cannot be a shadow of
doubt. It extends over the North as well as
the South. Its influence is seen and felt in
every city, town and hamlet throughout the
land, with its hcadquaidcrs in Canada, stim
ulated and encouraged by the three Presiden
tial factions in the Republican ranks, which
appear to have paralyzed the whole party..
' The conspirators have taken advantage of
this silence and apathy of the Republicans,
who have hi thezto-profeased-to. busupporters
of the war, and have not failed to add to their
ranks the weak, the timid and cowardly of
the Republican party, as well as of the Dem-
(wrath:. party. Within the hist two days,
however, the Republicans have been some
what roused from their lethargy by the recent
successes of Major-General Sherman. No-
thing, for aught that I can di.seover, will save
the Union and the Government but the sue
ceases of Grant, Sherman, Farragut and
Sheridan.
These successes may rouse the people and
preserve the country ; but nothing else, from
present appearances, will save it, from the
danger with'. which it is threatened. The
perils of the Union were never greater than
at the present moment. The conspirators
have secret associations, whose members are
scattered over the land, using every means
their power to alarm and frighten the igno
rant and timid. They are also distributed
throughout the armies and navy of tnetni
ted States, and exerting all their powers to
induce those who have the privilege of vot
ing to cast their votes for McClellan, who is
represented to be popular with the rank and.
tile. At a future day I may present facts
which will substantiate all I have said in re
gard to this dangerous conspiracy and their
convention and their candidate for the Pres
idency.
It was not the sword of Caesar that de
stroyed the liberty of Rome, but the dema
gogues that thronged the forum with souls
dead to their country's honor, and spotted
with corruption. * * * * * * *
I am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

A SOLDIER'S OPINION.
A soLnikn at Fort Smith, on the Potomac,
writes as follows to a friend in New York:—
In spite of discouragements you see, do.
you not, that our gallant soldiers are forcing

lurking places wherever we got May the
Loyal States of America now spring to the
oars and we will soon strike the Shores of the
"Promised Land." One more grand rally
of 500,000 men and the glorious flag we are
ready to die for will be itself again," more
priceless than ever. I would have every
vocal organ, every instrument of music, every
bell, gun, mortar and cannon in the land
ring forth 600,000 'cheers for the re-election
of our honest President. His call for 500,000
more we know will never cease until every,
traitor to our country is dead. What an aw
ful odor there is to the McClellan, Seymodr
and Vallandigham party. It is enough to
sicken the low-lived cannibals. M%er all
our patriotic efforts, to see men stoop so low
as to take into their mouths the dirty toes of
rebel greybacks and suck away for a misers=

VISIT TO THE PRESIDENT.
The Grant County (Wisconsin) Herald
contains a letter from Tan T..ltills;'Jtalge
of the Fifth Judicial Circuit, giVing an ac
count of a, recent interview with Mr. Lin
coln, with a report of, the remarks of the
latter in regard to the coniequene.-which
would follow the adoption of the iver policy
urged by the friends of General MeOlellani
Judge Mills was accompanied brez-Gov
ernor Randall, of this State who, introduced
him to the President, Whoni he warmly
thanked for his readiness to serve hisfriends,
firma Wisconsin at the Capital: They found
the President, at the Soldiers' Retreat, a
"building not imposing in •sice; half hadden
in foliage, the grounds tastefully laid out"
The following is Judge Mills's account of
his interview with the President, what he
said, and his impression of Mr. Lincoln
NO. 39.
" The Governor asked of a man in waiting
if the .President had arrived. 'Yes,' was
the reply. We entered a neat, pliiinky-fitr
nished room. A marble table was in the
centre. Directly appeared from an adjoin.
ing apartment a tall gaunt-looking figure,
shoulders inclined forward, hisgait astride,
rapid and shuffling, ample understandings
with large slippers, and Briaredndtms, with
a face radiant with intelligence and humor.
" The Governor addressed 'Mr.
President, this is my friend and your friend
Mills, from Wisconsin.'
" I am glad to see my friends from Wiscon
sin ; they are the hearty friends of the
Union."
" I could hot leave the city, Mr. Presi
dent, without hearing words of cheer from
your lips, Upon you r as the representative
of the loyal people, depend, as we believe,
the existence of our Government, and the
future of America.' This introduced poli
tical topics.
"Mr. President, said Governor Randall,
'why can't you seek seclusion, and play her
mit for a fortnight P it would re-invigorate
you."
" Aye,' said the President, 'two or Onto
weeks would do me no good. I cannot fly
from my thoughts—my solicitude for this
great country follows me wherever I go,_, I
don't think it is personal vanity or ambito
ion, though I am not free from these infir
mities, but I cannot but feel that the weal
or woe of this great nation will be decided
in. November. There is no programme of
fered by any wing of the Democratic party
but that must result in the permanent de..
struction of the Union.
" But, Mr. President, General McClellan
is in favor of crushing out the rebellion by
force. Ile will be the Chicago candidate.'
"Sir,' said the President, 'the slightest
knowledge of arithmetic will prove to any
man that the rebel armies cannot be de
struyed with Democratic strategy. It would
sacrifice all the white men of the North toile
it. There are now in the service of the
United States near two hundred thousand
able-bodied colored men, most of them under
arms, defending and acquiring Union terri
tory. The Democratic strategy demands
that these be disbanded, and that the mas
ters be conciliated by restoring them to slave
ry. The black men who now assist Union
prisoners to escape are to be converted into
our enemies in the vain hope of gainiing
the good will of their masters. We shall
have to light two nations instead of ono.
" You cannot conciliate the South, if you
guaranty to them ultimatesuccess ; and the
experience of the present war proves their
success is inevitable, if you fling the compul-.
sory labor of millions of black men into their
side of the scale. Will you give our ene—
mies such military advantage as to insure
success, and then depend on coaxing, flattery
and concession to get them back into the
Union? Abandon all the posts now gar.
risoned by black men ; -take two hundred
thousand men from our side, and put them
in the battle-field or corn-field against us,
and we would be compelled to abandon the
war in three weeks.
" We have to hold territory in inclement
and sickly places ; where are the Deinocrats
to do this? It was a free fight, and the field
was open to the War Democrats to pat down
this rebellion by fighting against both mas
ter and slave, long before the present policy
was inaugurated.
" There have been men base enough to
propose to me to return to slavery the black
warriors of , wort Hudson and Olustee, and
thus win the respect of the masters they
fought., Should I do so, I sheuld deserve to
be damned in time and eternity. come what
will, I will keep my faith with friend and
foe. My enemies pretend I am now carry
ing on this war for the sole purposeof abolit
ion. So long as lam President, it shall be
curried on for the sole purpose of restoring
the Union. But no human power can sub
due this rebellion without the We of the ernan
cipatien policy, and every other policy
calculated to weaken the moral and physic
al forces of the rebellion.
" Freedom has given us two hundred
thousand men raised on Southern soil. It
will give us more yet. .lust so much it has
subtracted from the enemy, and instead of
alienating the South, there are now evi
dences of a fraternal feeling growing up be.
tween our men and the rank and file of the
rebel soldiers. Let my enemies prove to the
country that the destruction of slavery is
not necessary to a restoration of the Union, I
will abide the issue.
" I saw that the President was not a mere
joker, but a man of deep convictions, of 'abid
ing faith in justice, truth and Providence.= , --
His voice was pleasant, his manner earnest
argi emphatic. As he warmed with his" theYno
his mind grew to the magnitude 011ie body.
I felt I was in the presence of the grearguid
ing intellect of the age, and that those 'huge
Atlantean shoulders were fit to bear the
weight of the mightiest monarchies.' His
transparent honesty, republican simplicity,
his gushing sympathy for those who offered
their lives for the country, his Utter forget.
fulness of self in his concern for its welfare.
could not but inspire me with conlldenbeithst
he was Heaven's instrument to conduct ,bie
