Is there no mitigation for his doom in the fact that he took his life in his hand, and aimed at that which a coward taught him, but dared not himself attempt. Base pusillanimous demagogues have led the prisoner to the -bar, but while lie suffers — if'suffer he must — they, too, shall have their recreant limbs bro- ken on the wheel. I will not leave the soil of Virginia, I will not let this awful occasion pass into history, without giving a v^ice and an utterance to its true purport and meaning,... without heaping upon its authors the load of execration which they are to bear henceforth and forever. Day after day and year after year has the baneful simoon of revolution, anarchy, discord, hostility to the South and her institutions, swept over that section of the country in which the lot of the prisoner has been cast. That he ha3 been poisoned by its breath should not cut him off from human sympathy ; rather should it render every heart clement toward him. He never sought place or station, hut sought merely to develop those doctrines which evil and traitorous persons had caused him to believe were true.
