"Notwithstanding this remarkable speech of an extraordinary man, the convention decided on secession. Mr. Stephens was afterwards elected vice-president of the so-called Confederacy. This distinction shows the estimate of his powers and adds force to the deliverance, the prophetic declarations of which are now being fulfilled to the letter."
