father had identified himself with the rev.
dictionary struggle for liberty. If the
late struggle for the principles Of consti
tutional liberty had been crime, it WIS
his misfortune, for which be had fully suf-
fered. Ho was aware Of the eagernass
with which every word no might utter
was watched for and misrepresented, he
would be silent, not from any apprehen-
sions as to the result to him, individually,
but his utterances waro made. to infect tho
interests Of the Southern people. lle did
not conceive that the principles Of the lost
cause we're dead, or that the truth should
remain crushed He opunselled fortitude
and patience, belle /. that the South
could afford to bo patient under herwrongs
until The returning sense Of justice aehiev-
cd the rights ofevcry freeman, a period to
which he looked. With his feelings ho
was fearful to trust himself to speak, be-.
cause he could not think one thing and
speak another. He looked forward to The
time when he could speak to his fellow
citizens as bis heart moved him, and badc
them farewell, expressing the hope that
