lea of the present. The standard
of honor inherent in that civiliza

BY these standards we must Judge
Mr.. Davis. BY Southern states
mHr Lis own generation, by
those whom he represented and by
the class of whose interest he was
the champion, his conduct, with
all it's tant of trcachcry and dis
honor, was fully approved, as it
was, doubtless, by his own con-
science. 1t does not follow, that
Mr.. Davis was an incorrigeable
william. In private life Mr.. Davis
was a sincere and sturdy friend,
and not ungcncrous enemy, In
all personal matters he was up
right, sincere and direct. His per-
sonal character was a model of pu-
rity, judged by the sevcrest stan
dards. No woman ever appealed
to his chivalry no child ever APP
pcaled to his kindness no poverty
stricken mortal ever appealed to
TO his charity in vain. As pri-
late man those who knew him
'est loved him most.
1t is hard to forgive him all his
leeds. 1t is impossible to forget.
Nevertheless. now that the strong
'ld face has upturned in the last

Judas life and character were but
the unfolding of prophecy. He
was son of destiny. He was
destined to play his part and he
played it. Benedict Arnold was,
in our judgment, likewise destined

base traitor. Aaron Burr could
not have been honest or honorable

either.
So in every epoch since God
first flung out in the heavens the

the answer to few questions rela-
tive to your Eastern trip, if you
have no objections, and have time
at your disposal.

with the interest the Government
is taking iu the matter of irriga-

of capital in this Territory in the

the Superior district are failing

increase of interest in this section
in the near future.

To have his heart searched an,
judgment passed upon his actiol
prior to and during the unhol,
war.
This brings us back to our orig
inal proposition-son of destiny
which will perhaps let jeff. out. -
We are told that very early in the
history Of heaven there was Il fiji
voritc angel known as .'Sun of
the Morning." now designated as
Bcelzebub, who became sojeal Gus
that he said he ..would rather
rule i'll hell than serve in heaven. "
He accordingly organized a rebel
lion amongst the heavenly host
and after the war ceased the ambi-
tious but discomfitted angel was
given the Presidency of the lower
confederacy. He seems to have
been a son of destiny. Mayhaps
his term is up thus giving Jeff. an
opportune chance. That failing.
our "son of destiny" might be
given new he'll to reign over
Vale.
However opposed to Mr. Davis
in his life, we do not wish to be
unjust O his memory. That his
was great though narrow intel
lcct, few will be disposed to deny.
That he had some of the qualities
of a statesman that he had rem
dercd some great public service
lhat he was brave, steady and con-
sistent, is conceded. Nevertheless
he had some characteristics which
his usefulness to the
cause which he had most at heart.
His prejudices were exceedingly
strong his obstinacy exceedingly
great. He was never intellectual
~ able to appreciate the potency
of moral forces, or to accurately
measure the elements of opposi-
ton to bis cherished opinions and
objects. This defect in his equip
mcnt rs a statesman led to the de-
tiancc of public sentiment involv-
ed i'll the breach of the Compro-
mlscs of 1850 by the administra-
ton Of Mr.. Pierce in which Davis
was the dominant figure. The at !
tempt OF that administration. con-
strained by the aggressive yigor of !
Davis, to extend the area Of slave
lerritory, brought the Republican
party into being, accelerated the
march of events hostile to the
slave power, by whole decades Of
years, and finally compelled the
of which Davis was the
,blest leader, to choose between
'ubordination to the spirit of mod

largely by his dominant pcrsonali-
