according to his conception, in the way Of
his public duty, he nles over them re-
morseIessIy; and grcat public measures
seem 10 absorb all his private sympathes.
The charge is not without truth, No man
who enjoys his friendship, need expect
that lis private esteem AMI affection will
control his public course; bat it is not
true, whatever may be external appearan-
ccs, that he does not deeply deplore the
loss or fall of friends. He has seemed
unnYed, because he has fc himself 20 be
the victim; and the altar at which he sery-
ed, required a cheerful sacrifice. 1t is
hard TO gain, and harder still TO give conf.
dence; and TO sec it broken at a blow, by
one fierce current of political events
dashlng into collision and stIitc, those who

the lttutc Of personal communion-that
10 doubt him, ere 10 outrage nature and
wrong. or being. He has shewn too often,
tie spirit Of the martyr, in his many re-
verses in PuL!ic LIE, for any one to qnes,
ton his posse sing it; and when he saw
that tie way was dark and perllous, there
are many who can testify II the earnest
nesS with which lie implored his friends, if

alb rndon hjm,and permit him to tread 1t
alone. Most assurediy, he has not been more
