JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Jefferson DAVIS is dead. The might
chieftain of the southern coDfed-
eracy, the leading figure in the most
striking epoch in our country's history
since it became a nation, has passed
away-physlcally; the spirit of the
man, his lofty thoughts, his patriotic
impulses, and the researches OF his
scholarship will live oreve
As a son, as a pupil, as a soldier, as
a statesman, as o scholar, as q husband,
"a a father, as a Christian, Jefferson
Davis was ever actuated by a noble
s,nse of duty. Morally and patriot
ically he was q model man. Brave,
gentle, courteous, firm, exact in his
formation, he first sought the truth,
aud then acted on it to the best OF his
knowledge and belief.
Few men have been more misunder.
stood and maligned. His gentle firm
ness has been perverted into OBJ
stinacy, his consistency into use
less defiance, and his service TO 3
people whom he loved above all,
q, though he had set before them q
temptation, and led them into a catas-
trophe. No more responsible for the
war than millions of others who
deemed il inevitable, acting more upon
the defensive than his associates ap
proved, yet be was made the vicariou'
sacrifice for the alleged sins, whether
of omission or commission, of his en-
tire people.
They made the war, not he; they
called him to leadership; they knew
what they did, and they have ever pro
tested against his being made th'
target 10 receive the shafts of malice
which in reality were meant for them
If mistake there was the south wa
responsible, not Davis alone. and as b.
was made to bear the abuse consequen
upon the loss Of their cause, so the.
loved him more and more
And be deserved their love. No sol
der was ever drawer, none of thei
statesmen more eloquent or wise. Il
private as we'll as public life he was a
pure as snow. No blot rests upon hi
escutcheon as o man, aud the cardins
principle of government for which b
fought, though settled against him o
the field of battle, was conceded by hi
o~ IN Tho faiiure to try hun 10
treason.
The south is o-day as loyal to th
union as is the north; the misfortune
of the past are sincerely lamented, an
the perpefuity of the union earnest
desired; but the people of the soulf
ern states would be iDgrates and COW
ards did they not bow their heads ]
grief that the man who stood at IL
helm in the day that tried mems soul
has passed away from earth. No en-
emy however bitter has ever accuse
them either of ingratitude or lack
bravery.
