tie 1ay Of his death. It lis mentioned by Mr..
Buckingham in his "Reminiscences that
Mr.. Hale was the first journalist to introduce

the most provoking manner, until lorbear-

assaulted with deadly weapons, by armies
arraycd in battle, and our property to the
amount Of many millions confiscatcd, our
Government smotc, our f1ag trampled into
the dust. The capital Of our country
threatened, and our nationality and our own
liberties greatly imperilled. All this was
done without just cause, and in the
most contumacious and defiant man
ncr before we took up arms. Since VIC
have commenced to defend ourselves our
citizen soldiers have been mobbed and
murdered while going to the defense Of
their country. Our capital has been con
stantly beleaguered by armed foes-the
aristocrats of Europe have been chuckling
over our calamities-the rebels have inces
sanity sought 10 bring down upon us the
arms Of foreign nations, and have invited
