Disappointed at the issue, Hardin presses on to personal eminence; he turns his energies to seeking honors in the legal forum. Maxime Valois, quietly resuming his studies for the bar, guards his funds, awaiting opportunity for investment. He burns the midnight oil in deep studies. The two men wander over the growing avenues of the Babel of the West.
His business is not on the calendar, He sits idly playing with a huge diamond ring until the "matter of the guardianship of Isabel Valois" is reached. Several lawyers spring to their feet at once. A queer gleam is in Joe Woods' eye as he nods carelessly to Hardin. They are both Knights of the Golden Circle.
He was a married man, and left behind him a wife and several children requesting on his death bed that they might be sent into Kentucky, and placed under the patronage of his friend, colonel Hardin, who had married the daughter of his early patron, captain Logan.

Albans, Licking county, Ohio, who moved from Kentucky to Ohio in 1831, certifies as follows: "About the year 1825, a slave had escaped for Canada, but was arrested in Hardin county.
The fiat of Webster, Clay, and Seward has placed the guardian angel of freedom at the gates and passes of California. The Southerner cannot transfer his human slave capital to the far West. The very winds sing freedom's song on the wooded heights of the Sierras. Philip Hardin sighs, as he drains his glass, "Valois, our people have doomed the South to a secondary standing in the Union.
Fearing neither God nor man, insensible to tenderness, Philip Hardin looks in vain to refresh his jaded emotions by the every-day diversions of the city by the sea. The daily brawls, the excited vigilance committee of the first winter session of popular justice, and partial burning of the city, leave Hardin unmoved.
