He was born for revolutionary times, and in this respect he was happy in the opportunity of his life. He entered upon his professional career when the drama which culmi- nated in civil war was opening. He was in its first act if not in its first scene. We have read descriptions and heard personal recitals by eye-witnesses, of his first revelation, on a national theatre, of his powers. It was at a session of a New-School General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, the special occasion, a discus...sion of the slavery question. The conservative element in the assembly was strong and gaining the ascendancy. The alarmed radicals called upon Dr. Heacock to oppose it. He accepted the leadership, and his speech was one of the events in the national controversy. His triumph was complete ; the assembly was borne to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. His national reputation dates from that hour, and from that day until his failing health forbade such importunity, he had repeated calls to pulpits in every section of the free States.
