From an article in the Galveston
News on Mr.. Davis, we make the fol.
lowing extract:
We are thankful that Mr.. Davis has
been able to preserve his dignity Of |
character under all the seventies Of
his Imprisonment We are thankful /
for this, for his own salle-for the sake (
Of his reputation, and also because he
IS necessarily the representative of the /
Southern people. That they owe any
thing to his suilerings is not, indeed, (
heir own fault, sine" they would gladly |
nave prevented him from coming be- /
.ween them and the vengeance of Rad
calism, at whatever cost to themselves.
But since this was not to be, they are
lot only satisfied but highly honored
It the mannerin which he has borne
himself, and none the less so that they
ire aware from the state Of their own
ceilings towards him that he INDUCES
10 unmanly resentment on account Of
he personal suiierings which have been
'yerruled for the good of the whole
'eople For whether it be generally
or not, it is certainly true that
he fact Of the Imprisonment and the
pirit of the prisoner are doing good h
1 the North as well as to the South
! different course on the part Of Mr.
)avis might have deepened the bitter
ess occasioned by the war; but the
eauty and force Of his Christian ex-
mple, under circumstances by which I
principle and sentiment are
lost profoundly tried, is exercising a
oothing and healing influence
Iroughout the land. Those who
light otherwise feel their rescntmchts ,
are charmed into patient /
nd hopeful sympathy; and those who
ut lately were clamorous to put ven ,
eance in the place of magnanimity, ,
re being soltened into a mere human T,
Iood by the resignation and forbear- +
nee of one whom they regarded as
leir victim. The ministry of suffer
Ig is strong and manifold, and often, d,
specially when il is not permitted to :
nbitter its subject, works in an in a
,rutable way the reconciliation Of (
lightly antagonisms, which would J
-herwise quench themselves only in /;
ide spread destruction. We are fain q
recognize the usefulness of the in !
vidual to the many in all the posi- i
e ways, except the one which is the :
ost inhuential-that of suffering, so :
to shame and exercise the spirit Of !.
.ngeance and hatred before it culmi- i
ties in evils which can never cease !,
be regretted because beyond the ;,
ach of remedy. l.
