The outbreak of hostilities had sent a large number of natives from the adjoining districts into Kimberley, and these added to the permanent coloured population increased our responsibilities. There was not sufficient work for so many. This idle host was a menace to the maintenance of law and order, and unless something was done for it internal trouble of a serious kind was sure to arise.
That this effort came from the town itself, from the people and not from the external power of the ruler or overlord, is the fact which first makes the history of these municipalities interesting. There are two facts, however, which, even at this early date, begin to influence the internal history of the communes.
In fact the guard appeared to be too small, even for the regulation of the internal hygiene and police of the hospital.
To himself the internal meaning was sun-clear; but the material with which he was to clothe it in utterance was not there.

It was discovered by the medical attendants that internal tumours, of an alarming nature, had formed, and from this moment his recovery seemed hopeless. He bore his illness with great firmness, although his weakness became pitiable, and the fine frame diminished to a mere skeleton. He became at length unconscious, and on the 30th of July, 1857, he quietly passed away in the presence of his family.
When the work of restoration was in progress, under the leadership of Clay and Calhoun, John Randolph was in his element, for he could honestly oppose every movement and suggestion of those young orators, national bank, protective tariff, internal improvements, everything.
Whoever shall have replied to these questions will have decided, knowingly or unknowingly, whether liberty be possible. I do not know that any people should be excluded from liberty; only all are bound to pursue it by the path that leads to it, by earnestness of convictions, by internal affranchisement, which signifies by the Gospel.

The other debtors Austria-Hungary, Turkey, Bulgaria have need of succour, and can pay nothing. Austria has need of the most indispensable objects of existence, and everything is lacking.
