His party was in the ascendency and his talents gave him a conspicuous position among its leaders. As a tactician he was saga- cious, and as a debater had all the weapons of logic at his command and wielded them with surprising power. He was independent in thought and positive in action. He shunned all artifice and indirection and fearlessly advo- cated what he believed to be right, and with equal bold- ness opposed and unsparingly denounced what he thought to be wrong. It would have violated h...is nature to have been untrue to his honest convictions, and he was there- fore utterly uncompromising between right and wrong. LIPE AND CHARACTER OF ORRIS S. FERRY. 49 His fame as a local legislator gave him such prominence that he became a candidate of the republican party for Congress in 1857, but was then unsuccessful. He was again placed in nomination in 1859, and elected to the Thirty-sixth Congress, and in this intellectual arena of the nation, which was at that time tlu'obbing with excitement and numbered among its prominent actors many of the most distinguished minds of the country, he acquitted himself with marked distinction.
