Calhoun. The cireumstances UpoN us
are somewhat novel, as I have do- u
scribed; but the same qualities which e
bore those men safely through. and I
enabled them. to rare for the rights t
and' boiior i6f the State snd people in ti
their day will enable us to do like
wise in ours-what were they ? They
were brave-I place this quality at a
t he head of the list ; because without a
it there i. an&on'be no stability of a
character. When I speak of courage '
I do not mean that common endow I
inent of physical impulse which im- d
spires man to protect himself from in-.
jury.- Tais ~is almost universal with
men and animals. It is as rare for a a
man to be born without it as to be t
born with one eye or one arm. Such t
a creature is an anomaly in creation. n
Nor do I mean that equally general f
quality of bravery en masse. South r
Carolinians may adopt truthfully the r
words of little Betsinder in Mr. E
Thackeray's story of the rose and the s
- ring, spoken with a different intent, S
but not inapplieble to them in this a
connection
"Little lion was my brudder,
Great big lioness my mudder,
Neber heard of any udder."
The gallantry of the people of this
State is proverbial. It has been con
spicuously exhibited on every demand
of the State, from the days of Tus
carora, John Barn well, (the greatest
of our Indian fighters,) to the sad day
of Appomattox; when the bleeding
remnant of our war-worn veterans
laid down their arms at the command
of the great chief. It is not of this I V
speak. This is natural to you. It is I
a part of your inheritance. Indeed
the embarrassment is the other way
.Too great a readiness to fight is one
of our faults. It is a quality with us
to be curbed, not encouraged. But
the virtue to which I allude is in a
great measure acquired and perfected
by cultivation and effort. It is the noble
attribute of adhering to a conviction
of right, without regard to pgsonal con
sequences, through good report and
evil report, in spite.of popular clamor
and :denunciation : in obedience to
the dietates of conseience, and in pur
suit of what you believe to be the
public good. If final approval vindi
cates your course, it is a happy re
sult. If it does not before you pass
away into the unknown, you have
th.e consolation of your own rectitude.
13e assured the vindication will~ comue
at some time. Baron Somuini, in his
art of war, says, the first requisite of
a great commander above all others is
a high moral eours e, capable of
gre'at resolu.tions. It is equally true
of greatness in any sphere of life. It
was this that made Washington and
his eompeers. They fought with
halters aroend their necks; but they
braved fate, beeause of the faith that
was in. them. They seseeded and
the world hails them as model patri
ots and heroes. It was this also
that made Lee and his comrades.
They failed. Justice moves more
slowly in case of failurefbnt itis on
the advance already, and history will
award to them the same verdict. For
tunate 'o unfortunate, b.onest self'
- arie and devotion to principle
commands and receives the applause of
anankind.
Another quality which disting
guished our worthies of the past,
-recent and remote, was intelligence.
-They were all men of education, and'
-fully abreast with the essential know
.edge of the age within which they
moved. When. called apon to act
with or against other men from other
quarters they brought equal informa
tion i.to the arena. They were ha
ble to ne sarprises, and were cou
fronted with no superiors. The com
bat was on fair ground wtth like<
weapons. There is not a marked
era in th.e historv of' the State or
Union in 'whih we can not poin~t with<
-- -pr'ide to the career of our representative]
men. If possible the necessity. of this]
attribute is more notable now than<
ever before. Human knowledge int
all departments of science, practical
and experimental, has been and is ad
s-ancing with great. strides. .it is no
ionger a mere gratifying distinction to K
be well-infornaed. It is an indispen
sable element of success. It matters
little what line of life you please to I
follow, you will find seienee has been
ati work there as well as-elsewher~e, and<
unless you knew her discoveries you
will in evitably lag in the race. Buti
is it possible for any inind to keep 1
pace with the never-ceasing develop
ments of knowledge ? Aristotle, it is ~
Laid, was familiar with all the world
knew in his day. An huindred Aris
totles condensed into one could not do ]
it now. B~ut I will tell you what you
can do. What, after all, is the grandi
object of education ? It is not to stufft
your memories with the thought and<
sayings of other men :but it is to ae- 1
quire- the faculty of correct and ex
-haustive thought upon any subject
which may present itself for your de.
termination. If you think correctly i
you will conclude reasonably, and thenu
the way is open to act wisely. When 1

any other country, noticing mue read.
ing very laboriously, he said, 'my
young friend, you appear to be doing
much reading ;-let me tell you, one
hour's genuine thought is worth five -j
hour's reading.' This is truth itself.
Whatever your speciality may be, of
course you must know that-that is 3
your business. As to the rest, gather'
as well as you can, a general informa- t
tion of what is going on in the in- c
tellectual and scientific world, and with I
the trained power of thought of which e
1I have spoken you can, without diffi- c
culty, when occasion requires, with s
the help of books and men particularly (
informed, fit yourself for any emer
genoy in which you may be required f ~

uest sense, anl educated man. But

requires effort, and the eiirt ia'ts
rough life.
The next char:aeteristie which dis.
nguished those men of the past
houri the State delighted to honor
as this : They were honest, sincere
nd earnest. Read their speeches
ad writings. They thought stroug!y
ad expressed themselves frankly

Our Washingtoni Letter.
WASIITNGTON, D. C.,
A July 7th. 1880.
IfJ~ our R{epublic'an brethren of thce
.press go on for ai month as they have
since J une 24th. they will begin to
speak of "thlat traitor lianeoek." On
jthe last few dayvs the L-aeral's miili
tary' abilities and ac'hievemfents have
been belittled, probaibly because no
other point of attac'k eaut be found.
TIhe trtor and secession cha.rges will
Scome next. And when they come I
Sam anxious to know what the soldiers
of the army of the Potomac wihi have
to say about it. They all know him,
Strust him. gud4 admire him. Through
the whole wai- Brigadier-Generals and
Major-Generals c'ame to that army,
fought or pretended to fight, resigned
were discharged. or otherwise lLit it,
Ibut H aeoek rea:inedK from first to
last, alwayvs the: friend o;f th:ose with
-whomi no was assoc.iated. From the
rfirst 'egiment that left .liaine, Mass
achusetts, New \or'k. ennsyv'anii,
or' tuhe other Atlantie States, to the
Ilast regiment who reached the front,
they all knzow the Geueral. I want
to know, thee, what these soldiers
wil ay whIeI a parusan press has
reached thtpln of idegredationl on
which an attack u accksml
Stary' record is thought proper. If
rthere is not then st,eh an uprising of
veterans in hiz defeuse as has never been
SseeU, 1 am greatly maistakeni in the
material of which the army of the Po
towae was comlposed.
