The deceased was a man whose life was
one of honesty and integrity, whose con-
viction OF right and wrong were strong
and fearlessly expressed, whose mind was
richly stored with knowledge pertaining
to national affairs and the current events
of the day, ard whose influence was al
ways beneficial upon those with whom
he came in contact. Mr.. Williams died
at the age OF 60 years and IL months,
having lived 40 years upon the old home
stead. He was a kind and devoted nus

State, nor to the progressive ideas OF the Nation
at large He must stand for the rights OF states
without weakening the National bond. HIS
mind brooded over the one problem-how to save
South Carolina from humiliation. how to ADAPT
his measure to the infexible stubbornness with
which his constituents chung to the notions wnich
ne had inherited-until he seemed TO some OF MS
acquaintance almost mailman. Professor
Houston quotes Legare to the erect that nuih-
1cation had become with Calhoun monomania-
This does not seem at all strange when the doc
trine which he promulgated Is viewed In the
light OF history.
In itself Calhoun's scheme was logical to
nicely. Granted the premises from which he
argued, and the conclusions he reached are cor
rect. Granted the conditions in the National
Government which he might have anticipated
but did not: he was q keener observer than his
partisans-and everything would have worked
out as he wished. President Jackson was by
birth a South Carolinian. and he had seemed
indulgent toward a recalcitrant spirit In Georgia
He might have been expected to sympathize
with Calhoun's views. But he was also Ma
tional man. Calhoun had also in his time taken
the National view Of things But now. at this
crisis in his career, In the effort to oppose what
he had once advocated. he seemed to have lost
a link in his evolution a reasoner. He sat
down TO minute study Of the Constitution
with record Of liberality In construction he
rose up with the discovery Of gap through
which South Carolina could escape from her
alleged contrac. az sovereign State without
breaking II. but this gap was so narrow. so
tortuous. that the most acute mind might well
have been dismayed at the sight Of 1t. The dis
covery required strictness In constituting the
Constitution unknown to the past. Where was
the disciple Of Jefferson of Madison, and Mon
roe? He still the most logical OF men,
very Jonathan Edwards among constitutional
lawyers But in getting into line with the far-
famed consistency Of South Carolina, he had
slipped a cog in that part Of his mental ma
chinery which shows how TO find correct prem
ises before drawing conclusions. OF course the
doctrine Of notification would not hold water,
but 1t held fire enough to last until 'Sixty-one
and Rebellion.
