A calm and lofty courage that can cope
With dirost perils, hoping against hope;
Patience that tires not, and an iron will,
Tenacious, stubborn, aud persistent still,
That naughi can swerve from its one grand design

fed that he has done harm enough. Just after
the war we had hopes Of Hampton. He went
into politics handsomely and gave the negroes
good advice; but he lost his head, and he,
perhaps, more than any other, finally kicked
over the democratic basket of eggs. He (by
pntinely boasting) fixed attention to the fact
that the only vital point In the democratic
platform vas his declaration that the recon-
struction laws were Unconstitutional, revolu-
tionary and void; and this opened the eyes
of the people to view of the ultimate result
OF democratic victory. The nation could never
give power to party whose policy Wade
Hampton could dictate; and the best thing
that this STATESMAN" can do for the demo-
cratic cause is to betake himself to retirement
