imputation of having offered to barter my
principles for a partloD; but for tho sake of
my friends I will merely say that I have,
never applied for pardon, nor made any
proposals to a prominent member of Con
gress, nor to any one else. Having been
illegally arrested, falsely accused, unfairly
tried, and unjustly sentenced to the full
severity of an unconstitutional law, 1 have,
long hoped (and shall continue to hope)
that future developments and the subsi
dence of bitter passions would lead to the
restoration ot my liberty as an act of
justice rather than one of executive clem
ency. The last paragraph of tho Herald's mor
ccau wrongs me in a two-fold degree by
imputiug to me a piece of silly and theatri
cal braggadocio in refusing to accept lib
erty on any condition, on the one hand;
and again a i fording the President n fair
excuse for declining to hear any future ap
plication in my behalf.
