Eloquent Words.

Judge Willard Of the Sonth Carr
olina Supreme Court thus expires
sed himself, from the Bench. upon
the defiance of that court.
"As the case now stands ali'in.
cident has occurred, rare IN the
history Of civilized society. Men
clothed with civil authority Of
limited character, subject to the
courts Of the land, have placed
themselves in defiance Of the high
est court in the State Of South
Carolina are now jcopardizing the
security Of justice and the security
Of peace. They are in an attude Of
defiance, not only against abstract
law, but against its embodiment in
this Court. They have brought
political death for a moment upon
the state and upon the nation.
They hold in their hands q Arc-
brand and they have applied 1t to
the whole structure that covers us.
I cannot believe that when thess
gentlemen come to consider when
they come to-nightto ask the favor
and protection oftheir God-when
they recall the sanctity of their
oath of office, l do not believe they
will longer resist the power Of this
Court. This Court is clothed with
majesty. We do not speak the
voice ofmen; we speak in judg
ment is the voice Of God. Every
legal power will be exhausted by
the Court to force from them
what their conscience does not
yield, and Whatever loyalty, fealty
and justice there is in the COM
Anunity will be exertcd 10 compel
By force what conscience does n9t
yieid."
