an enemy of yours I would not hsve
believed that your notions of justice
would l,crmi. an ensiczvor to DO rne

a hearing. l. il writ down in YOUR
conceptions Of duty that the injury
of such removal may he justly in
fiicted whether it be merited or not !!
You well say that no personal feel.
ing moves you, for l never have
done you the smallest offence. The
only time on which We met | honest
ly accorded my best wishes. 1t is
true l never lacked the heels of
Your accomplished greatness. If I
had been tempered for II lackey, my
impressions "f your good sense
would have deferred me, and l yet
hope was therein more just to you
than you have proved to me. 1t is
not feeling, then, which bIindly i'm
pcls, but cool Judgment which de-
Iibcrately directs you conduct. But
can your judgment be 81 MANNED
and most imperfect as to justify to
you the attempt to remove an Off
Ger on the one.sided statements Of a
handful of enemies? Why did yon
never tell me what was charged, it
anything was, aud what you meant
to do unless l conld extenuatc or
clear it up? Why did you not give
me the chance Of man to
shield his name? Why did you not
tell those who plotted my removal
in the dark, who "plncked their
hats about their ears and buried half
their faces in their cloaks," that you
could do 70 assassination Why
did YOU not tell them that the mere
will to hack at me IN the dark was
unworthy even of them, and not to
be hinted to the Delegate Of a re-
spectacle Territory?
l knew that there were conspira-
tors whose will to get my place, "rto
keep in their own, would need no
spur hut their own cause to prick
them on, but dill myself the wrong
to imagine that they would attempt
my butchery boldly like mon who
struck for justice. Iknew Of one
whose vanlting ambition "was sick

throw from the first days Of my first
term. 1t was also easy aud consis-
tent for him, and natural descent,
that having rested from seditious
newspaper attacks on what with too
much dexterity he had deemed a de:
caying Republic aud a discovered
Union, he should, having breathed
awhile, volunteer with flashed conf
dence in less ambitious ass,ults npon
a Judge from whom he thought tho
power was departing. l knew that
there WIS another alsO who was
shameless enough to stride heavily
over regulations which should have
been cherished by him, in order to
clutch Of my ruin. For him there
