She made a fine constitutional argument, to which the most captious could not object. The excitement created by her appearance at the Washington meeting was mild compared to that in New York City where she was becoming so well-known. The great dailies headed all reports, "The Woodhull Convention."
"Well, we've got the survivors three o' them, countin' Woodhull, their captain." "How did they get here?" "They came in with a small outfit o' Mormons that was north o' the Vermilion. They'd come out on the St. Jo road. They told me " "Is Woodhull here can you find him?" "Shore! Ye want to see him?" "Yes." "He told me all about hit "
"In fack, I don't know as more'n one'd git through if you an' me both started." His cold gray eye was fixed on Woodhull carelessly. "An' ef hit was the wrong man got through he'd never lead them Missouri men for'rerd to where this fight'll be. "An' hit'll be right here. Look yan!" he added. He nodded to the westward, where a great dust cloud arose. "More is comin'," said he.
When a man would do murder, when that has been his steady and premeditated purpose for a year, waiting only for opportunity to serve his purpose, that purpose itself changes his very lineaments, alters his whole cast of countenance.
