may take occasion here to remark on this last and best exhibition of Mr.
Davis's character, and declare that his " prison-life" has been the noblest
part of his career. As a prisoner he has suffered with the most remarkable
and constant dignity ; there have been no weak complaints, no unmanly
petitions, no unworthy conversations with those in authority over him. He
has obtained a new title to the admiration of friends, and from his enemies
the tribute that is always readily paid to the man who is truly great in the
last misfortune of his life. There is indeed good reason to believe that
these enemies, having curiously resorted to a device of bail, after a silence
and mystery of more than two years, hesitate to place the distinguished
prisoner on his trial for fear that he would make there one of the most
imposing figures of the age, and that, standing at the bar with his perfect
dignity and great scholarship, pleading for a " lost cause," he would make
an appeal to the justice and sensibilities of the world whicli they are not
willing to risk.
