No charges were ever preferred against Mr Carlin, and through the brutal treatment to which he was exposed, he died, and died without a release from his parole. The Government of Russia, Austria, or China has never exceeded the crimes which led to the death of Senator Carlin. His mind was utterly impaired by his imprisonment; until the day of his death he never recovered. At Chicago, in 1864, during the Convention, he became excited, and all the outrages which had been inflicted upon him recurred to his mind in their most offensive form. He became more and more inflamed until his death. He was attacked on Friday inorning with general congestion, and died Saturday evening, about four o'clock. His suffering in prison was more intensified and aggravated by the following facts: 1st. He was the personal friend of Lincoln, though his political enemy. 2d. There were no charges against him. 3d. His Republican creditors bankrupted him while in prison, and left his helpless family in destitution. HON. CHARLES INGERSOLL, AND EDWARD INGERSOLL, ESQ. ON the 13th of April, 1865, on the occasion of the celebra tion of Jefferson's birthday, in the city of New York, Mr. Edward Ingersoll, in answer to a toast deprecating the enormous Federal indebtedness, with which the war had overwhelmed the country, advocated the doctrine of State Rights as the only real basis of our Federal Union, or upon which, in the nature of things, our Union could permanently rest. Mr. Ingersoll also argued that if this overwhelming debt was revolutionary, either in its purpose or in its effect, if it had been created either in express disregard of the provisions of our written Constitution of Government, or still more, if it had been created with the design of overthrowing our liberties and system of laws, the people, who were interested in protecting their wise system of free government, were certainly not bound to recognize as honest the obligations of such a debt; that no sense of national honor, however refined or impracticably delicate, could call upon a people who loved their institutions, and were willing to defend them, to pay a debt created in the teeth of the express provisions of their Constitution of Government; and the certain political result of the permanent establishment of which debt must be to render that Constitution of Government irrecoverably and forever impossible. Whether there was truth and logic in this proposition that struck hard at the money powers of the country, who for some years past had been allowing themselves to be made the tools of political Abolitionism, we cannot say, but certain it is that Mr. Edward Ingersoll, a Philadelphia lawyer and a respectable citizen, who had heretofore been but little before the public, was thought worthy of the fiercest newspaper denunciation and assault. President Lincoln's assassination on the night of Good Friday, April 14th, had aroused the people, as well as the madmen who had been for some years misgoverning the country, to a sense of solemnity, at least. Several of the partisan presses of Phi.adelphia were untiring in their efforts to excite against Mr. Ingersoll some mode of personal attack. A well-known member of the Union League assured a friend, that, to his knowledge, nothing had prevented Mr. Ingersoll's house being burned, but the fact that he occupied a rented one, and which belonged to a loyal man. Mr. Ingersoll was threatened, by an official communication from the United States District Attorney of Philadelphia, with prosecution for treason, for some of the sentiments of the New York speech. He was notified by the president of the bank where he had for many years deposited his money, to withdraw his account, as a person unworthy of even such exalted pecuniary relationship. So indignant was the exhibition of feeling on the part of the money powers against what Mr. Ingersoll thought to be the fair defence of a free citizen in behalf of the institutions of his country, that these facts, together with the receipt of anonymous threatening letters, induced him (most fortunately as it proved) to provide himself with a pocket pistol, to meet the event of unavoidable necessity, should it occur. On the morning of April 27th, on entering the cars as usual, in coming to his place of business, from his residence in the neighborhood of the city, Mr. Ingersoll was assailed by the cry of "Traitor" from an adjoining car, and found himself the object of considerable observation. Nothing further was said or done, however, till, on stepping from the cars when the train had arrived at the depot, a man was observed calling to some persons to follow, and saying, pointing to Mr. Ingersoll, "There he goes." Mr. Ingersoll walked to the corner close by, to wait for the street car. While there, the assailant, with his backers, canie up, and after some insolent demand, which was promptly and fitly replied to, an |
