? I^HJ^^es before the country, and de scribed the true position of affairs, and what he believed to be the true policy of the South. Pointing out the inequality of the South-an ine q&lity which there was no hope of ever over-coming-in both Houses ol Congress, lie still boldly asserted that the South bad grown strong enough to remain in the Union., and, with the aid of ber Northern allies, to control the action of the Federal Government on all questions vital to ber interests. In former years be had been a Secessionist per se, but disclaimed being so now; not because of any change in his political princi ples, but because on all the great questions-The Protective Tariff Internal Improvements-The Bank The Fugitive Slave Law-the rights of the citizens of the States in the territo ries, and of a Slave State to be ad mitted into the Union-the doctrines of the South bad triumphed, while, the crusade against slavery was weakening everywhere, and the South herself, once wavering and divided, bad become firm and united. The unknown costs and hazards of sett'ng up a separate Government should not be incurred, he thought, without sufficient reason, and he warneo South Carolina, and the South, in words of prophetic wisdom, that "a peaceful, prosperous and powerful people should not challenge fate a dav too soon." At the same time the South must not give up her prin ciples, " or one of those principles which constituted ber great cause;" and the very efforts she would make to defend them in the Union would be ber best preparation for the alter native of disunion, should itbe forced upon ber. Looking back through the long years which embrace the most heroic struggle for Constitutional Govern ment and Independence ever made by any people, and during which the South gained imperishable glory, and suffered the most terrible misfortunes, who can doubt the wisdom of the counsel givrn in this speech? With this, and another brief speech in the Senate, May 21st, 1SG0, " on the relations between the States, and the rights of persons and property in the Territories," closes the volume of the writings, selected for print by Senator Hammond himself, which I have followed. Senator Hammond did not return to Washington to the ses sion of ISGO-1, but awaited at home the action of the State Convention, and when it passed the Ordinance of Se cession resigned, by telegraph, the instant be was informed of this action. In July, 1861, Mr. Hammond went to Richmond and laid before the Ad ministration, through Senator Hunter, of Virginia, a plan which he had been long maturing, to sustain the finances of the Government. The main feature was for the Government to purchase as much cotton as possi ble, pay for it in it? bonds and store 'J* in the most secure places. He believed that patriotism, as well as self-interest, would induce the plant ers to sel! one-half, at least, of then crops to the Government and take bonds in payment. The cotton crop of ISGiwas* one of the largest ever made in the South-nearly five millions of bales. Thc Porti wer* blockaded, the cotton coq]<Lnot be shipped and *ne P"~ came down to 8 cents per pound in Confederate <Mir.-xiicy. Later during the war, it rose to 50 cents gold in the Eng?sh markets, and to nearly $1 in Federal paper. The posse-sion, atthisperiod, by the Government of two and a half million bales of cotton must have been of incalculable advantage in maintaining its credit, both at home and abroad. Failing health did not permit Mr. Hammond to take any active share in our great struggle, but what he could do he did. He sold all that he could sell and placed the proceeds in i Confederate bonds; so that, at his death, near the close of the war, in all ihe assets of bis estate, there w; s nothing but lands and negroes and the securities of the Government. And this, f-lt'iough hopeful as he was by nature, for some time before bis death he despaired of the success of our cause. On the 2Gth of Septem ber, 1SG4, be writes in his diary, " bad army news from all quarters, and nothing but the intervention of the good God can save the South from subjugation." And again, on the 3d of October, " Have had serious hemorrhages beginning on the 29th ult.--a little better, but, very weak. Who can recuperate undvr our present perilous state of aihVir.s? God alone can save us." His health ^_during the summer of 1SG4 had been feebler, and in the early fall hip friends became verv apprehensive. On the 14th of October the hand writing in his diary, which be had kept 1er thirty-four years, changes, he could no longer write; on the 22d of October the book ceases, he could no longer dictate ; and on the 13th of November, on a bright Sunday morn ing, without fear and without i egret, conscious for hours of the great change coming, peacefully and quietly he died, with these last words, uttered with a caressing gesture, '*My dear wife," to her who stood by his bedside. He had selected the place where he wished to be buried and before his death he pointed it out. The scene is described by bis eon, Edward Spann Hammond, in these words, written at the time. It was the evening before he died, and ?rr E. S. Hammond had been hastily summoned with the physician, MF. I Steiner, from Augusta: "When the t doctor left, lather called me to his ML bedside and asked, 1 what does this gfc^nean, the doctor's sudden coming Sflnd your'? and your mother's HTxi"ty ?' He bade me r?ise him and |^^?op bim in his bed, and Land him a smair looking-glass. He told me lie did not feel so badly-mother's and tne cloctor's alarm was unnecessary and, looking at himself, remarked how weli he looked-better than yesterday-better, perhaps, than in . twenty years-his complexion clearer; but on '"nspectinghis tongue, which was , dry, engorged and darkened, 'ah,' ha ssid, handing back the glass, with a depressed countenance, ' that is a bad tongue, very bad ; lower me.' He ??Rea told me to sit by hi m,-ami pro ceeded calnly, ' I have s'omething to tell you, now listet:: I ma7 live three days, it may be only three hours. Over in the-Woods yonder,' pointing in the direction, ' are two hickory . '^?Muif?es fohcf?fS notable trees-larger than arv about th?-a little way from the bead ofva gorge on the t highest point of the hill. I want to be buried near those trees, and I want you to place my father there, and i your biothers from Silver Bluff. As to a monument, I have nothing to say . of that; my children will do as they L thiuk best. 'But mind." and he said I ? it with- thrilling earnestness, looking H at me and pointing bis finger, 'It'ftm* i ^ are subjugated, run a plough cmr my grave.' And there he was buried in the spot which he had chosen ; and around him lias grown almost a city of the dead. There are his two sons from Silver Bluff and several of his grand children; and his brother, Marcus Marcellus Hammond, and many of his neighbors sleep with him. And lhere, too, is the monument, reared by a wife's love : and on it is written that noble peroration of the Kansas speech already quoted-selected by William Henry Tresco^ as " fittest epitaph for Southern Statesman," and "last Senator" from South Caro lina, and accompanied-by a few sen tences from bis. the gracefullest pen in all the South. In private life James H. Hammond was affable aud genial, warm ?J. his j friendships and devoted in his affec tions. Famous writer, able Governor, great Senator-at home he waa the plain and unpretending country gen teman and planter, easy of access to ill. Very fond of the company-.'of friends and neighbors, his conversa tional powers were something more than excellent-they were brilliant. .' His hospitality was princely," and chere were fe A- admitted to his inti macy, who did not feel the spell of bia musical voice as he held them in the thrall of his glittering eye, like the Ancient Mariner and the Wedding Guest," wrote the poet e litoj^b?taes R. Randall, in a brief notice of his death. In all business and money transactions h?8 perf?ct integii^y^was without a blemish. . Of debt he'had a horror, and. was too in dependent ever to lay himself under obligation? ; and even in the darkest hour of his efforts at reclaiming waste lands, when crop after crop had failed, he depended solely .upon his own resources, and fashioned his plans according to them. It has been said i that he was without personal ambi Lion," and that is true in a measure. For mpre place he had little love, too little ever to seek it. The arts of the office seeker and the guile of the politician, were abhorrent to his na ture. No man ever took part in politics who was more frank, more disinterested, bolder, and freer from demagog?8m in every form. But to know all that could be known, and to do all that could be done, in the pphere where Providence had placed him, was an ever present aspiration There was nothing negative about the man. His was a pure, strong faithin progress, iu humanity, and in God. W ita no ostentatious p.' ly and without connection with any church, a close study of the Bible, of which his writings give ample evidence, had le 1 bim tot a rational conviction of the great truths of Religion. Upon mere stolid, unpro-ressive skepticism, in every form, and upon whatever theme, he wage 1 scornful war. Often doubting-who is not?-it was not a state in which he could be content to reindn ; but, whatever the subject, he sought truthi earnestly, patiently, per sis tent ly .until he had at least gained convictions.
