A purpose that is born of perjury, baptized in treason, and confirmed in blood and murder as its sacrament^ grace, is eligible to any master stroke in the dastard's vocation ; and could skulk behind your noble President and shoot him without a warning, as naturally as it can whip its helpless women and sell its own children. A set of men, an institution, a cause, base enough to fire on an unarmed vessel bearing supplies to a starving garrison of its own government ; base enough to starve sixty ...thousand men to death, or idiocy, as a mil- itary policy ; base and barbarous enough to carve out of the bones of your own sons trinkets to be sported by the feminine refinement it deifies ; is base, and barbarous, and 13 fiendish enough, not only to assassinate the most estima- ble man that ever adorned the magistracy of any people, but to seek the couch of a wounded, helpless Minister of State, for the sake of despatching him in that con- dition.
