He was an actor, for lame and for money; he assumed and pretended evil passions, as well as true and noble emotions anl feelings, for fame and money ; and when he fiiled in mimic t...ragedy, he rushed headlong into real tragedy, for fame — and for money. — To him belongs not even the infernal credit of having been animated by tbe unaffected evil lust which ruled 80 many in the rebellion. Flis act was mere acting, from an actor's love. It was all a lie, as it was only a murder. Me was not a man of the South by parentage, or by birth ; he was not a slaveholder ; he held not an inch of " sacred soil;" he had not even "expatriated" himself to become a rebel soldier. He lived under the government which he professed to hate, and, whilst enjoying its protection, he deliberately planned, and treacherously arranged all things for the deed of death ; but so, that secure in its successful 20 accomplishment, lie might also secure liis escape, and reap and enjoy his reward.
