and setting On foot measures to purify
southern piety by making it more in &C

this labor of love-this work of purifying

had forgotten the flag and the Hlife of the

their eternal salvation. In this Governor
pe,ppo,yr had signalized his devotion to
The nolitico. religious faith of the Republi-
ran party, and especially merited the
annrobation of the Simon-pures of the

ruling power.
IF Governor PEIRPoINT had in this way
entitled himself to the reward Of Radical
approbation he had, on the other hand,
dome some acts of kindness towards the
State and the PROSTATE Confederates, just
after the war, that deserved their grateful
remembrance. We are clear for award

nstely, he allowed his course to be Chez
ouered subsequently by divided and
eouivocal manifestation both Of policy and
sentiment that impaired his standing on
both sides. His last years stump cam

His incertitude and wavering has proba-

evidently at fault. behind the scenes. He
is man of good, kind disposition and
much practical good sense, and not great
deal of decision of character. .
This is a sort of obituary of the. dis.

be; for he dies by the sword, and viii

like the Governor, and desire that hs

think it rather blessing than an aflictiol
