Hezekiah Niles had full sympathy with the groping and striving of the South; but he insisted that slavery must ultimately be abolished throughout the country, that the minds of the slaves should be exalted, and that reasonable encouragement should be given free Negroes. Said he: "We are ashamed of the thing we practice;... there is no attribute of heaven that takes part with us, and we know it.
He came down from his chair, carefully stepping on the roots, and loomed above Mr. Niles, amiable, tolerant, serene. His wrinkled crash suit, in whose ample folds his mighty frame bulked, contrasted oddly with the dusty, rusty black in which Mr. Niles defied the heat of the summer day. "Now I am down where I can talk business, Ivus. What's the matter with you?"
See this letter in Niles' Weekly Register, vol. XXXVII., pp. 91-93. During these proceedings of Poinsett in Mexico the newspapers in the United States announced that the American government were taking proper steps for the acquisition of Texas.
The crest of the clan was a mailed hand holding an olive branch, and the motto was "Not too much." Nine children were born of this union, of whom William, Jr., was the seventh. The future President was born in Niles, Trumbull County, O., January 29, 1843. His grandfather and his father were iron manufacturers. His father was a Whig and a Protectionist. The family were Methodists.
Niles told him that he had a farm hand, but, he added, "he won't go, because he has the ague." "Oh, well," Mr. Veil replied, "that's no matter, I know how to cure him; I'll tell him how to cure himself." So they sent for me, and Veil told me how to get rid of the ague.
But what could she do? She and Flossy had talked it over together after they reached their room at the hotel; in fact they talked away into the night. "I don't know," Flossy said, with a little laugh, "but I shall have to depend on the 'unconscious influence' which I exert to do my work for me. I don't know of anything which I can actually do. Dr. Niles made a great deal of that."
So I'm a property holder in this county and that's what is needed, isn't it?" "By Jove! You're right, Nell! Here, I'll make out an application. You send for Niles, and we'll get him to approve this right now. Then we'll get the judge to sign the bail bond, and I'll get out. I never thought of that good thing you've got a good head on your shoulders!"
If the young lady will come to the judge's office with me, I have no doubt we can arrange the matter." Before long it was evident there was a hitch. "I am sorry, Miss Mercer," said Niles, with a long face, "but there seems to be some doubt as to this. You have not the deed with you the deed giving title to this property?" "No," said Eleanor. "But the records are here, are they not?
Asa Niles, a cousin of his father's who lived on a neighboring farm. He had heard of Russell's various exploits and saw that he was a boy far above the average, that he had talents worth training. Himself a scholar and a Methodist minister, he knew the value of an education, and the worth to the world of a brilliant, forceful character with clear ideas of right, and high ideals of duty.
Those who were not active rebels had been stung by the contempt that their leader now displayed. Some resisted when the woodsmen pushed them half playfully. A burly fellow stood his ground. Ivus Niles lurked at his back.
