GOV. CALDWELL.

the residence of Col. Thomas Ruff
fin in Hillsboro, on Saturday, the
18th inst, of Bright's disease of
the kidneys.
Gov. Caldwell was fifty four
years of age at the time of his
death and had been in public SER
vice the greater portion of his life.
He was called to the Executive
Chair upon the impeachment Of
Gov. Holden, serving the unfinish~
ed term of that officer, when he
was elected to the full term in
1872.
Gov. Caldwell's private charac

"The way is now open to foes as well as

perience, and of suppressed feeling, in this
inscription. would call your attention to
the phrase "Gritum ibertdtem" ancestral lib

must have died, and how many generations
been haunted by suffering or by fear to Undue

will endeavor to be brief in what I have
to say, always bearing in mind the suggestion
of D'Alembert, that writers trouble them
selves to amplify what their readers trouble
themselves to abridge.
Many years ago my attention was called to
the consideration of the inscriptions or MEM
orable phrases which are connected with
great crises in the lives Of nations Some
times such phrases represent, almost with
the compression of an algebraic formula, the
history and the ruling thought of nation;
and sometimes the persons who wrote them
would appear to have had ideas in advance
of their time, and to express thoughts not
yet fully comprehended by their contempo-
raries. Take for instance the inscription
which marked for centuries the battle ground
of Thermopyl@; "Go, stranger, and tell
Sparta that we died in obedience TO her
laws" There was not suggestion there
of religious or patriotic motive; the in
scription was precisely and vigorously true to
the idea which the genius of one great law
glver had impressed on many successive
Spartan generations; the idea of Discipline
and Of duty; not Of freedom, of glory. Thus
the whole emotional being OF race was for
centuries compressed and repressed like the
foot ofa Chinese lady.
Take again the inscription which was
roughly hammered on a stone On-the battle
field of Lutzen. quote from memory of
translation, and only profess to give it with
substantial accuracy;
On THIS FIELD
GUSTAyUS ADOLPHUs KING oF Swrprr
FELL FIGHTrNG FOR FREEDOM OF SPIRIT
Nov. 16, 1892
Whoever wrote that inscription penetrated
to the central idea of the struggle, stripping
it of all weakening details. The real fight
was not for or against the DEGREES of a par
ticular council; it was not for or against this
or that form OF christian faith; it was for the
underlying right of free examination and free
expression.
Some years since, new road vas con-
structed through one of the passes of the
Swiss Alps, and monument with an in
scription was placed to commemorate the
fact. Almost everywhere else. such ah in
scnption would be written in the spirit of
hope, and triumph, and graduation. 1t
would claim the gratitude Of the people for
the capitalists who subscribed for it and the
engineers who constructed it. But here was
people, all whose traditions had led them
to fear the rapacity and the fraud of the
stranger; and while they yielded to the COM
mercial necessity which required a better
means Of communication, their fears still
balanced their hopes. So the inscription
reads: I'd I...n
