Instead of the ungovernable extremes to which ordinary men of his temperament and youth would have been carried, he ap- peared as the conservator of the peace and the sedate reasoner. When the impulsive mob became turbulent, he was found the elo- quent declaimer against violence to property or life. It was in one of these excitements that he saved the life of his Professor, Dr. Cooper, when the exasperated crowd had surrounded the college, to make the old loyalist suffer for his principles. Thi...s was effected by holding them in abeyance at the door to listen to his sage counsels, until the old gentleman had an oppor- tunity to escape on board of a ship in the harbor. Upon another occasion, when the rage of the people, now forced up to its highest pitch, burst forth in an attempt to destroy the establishment of Rivington, the Tory printer, he appeared upon the ground, and with the soft persuasive oratory (for which in afterlife he was so much distinguished, and, indeed, in which at the New York bai- lie had no compeer, ) he strove to subdue their passions by eloquent appeals for the liberty of the press.
