malice; all the manifold injuries which partisan or private malignity,
disappointed of its object, may shower upon his unprotected head. All
this, if he would retain his integrity, he must learn to ear unmoved
and walk steadily onward in the path of public duty, sustained only by
the reflection that time may do him justice; or if not, that his
individual hopes and aspirations and even his name among men should be
of little account to him when weighed in the balance of a people of
whose destiny he is a constituted guardian and defender."_
