Our Virginia friends, solicitous for our safety in this wild country, had urged us not to venture into it without arms take at least, they insisted, a revolver each. And now we had to congratulate ourselves that we had not done so. If we had, we should doubtless on that Sunday have been waiting, with the other law-breaker, for admission into the Yancey County jail.
Yancey, speaking of the disturbed temper of the time, attributed it to the general lack of information on the part of Southern people as to what the Confederate Government was doing. His proposed remedy was an end of the censorship which that Government was attempting to maintain, the abandonment of the secret sessions of its Congress, and the taking of the people into its full confidence.
There was wild excitement in Charleston, where that evening in the streets Yancey addressed crowds that cheered for a Southern republic. The remaining history of the Democratic nominations is a matter of detail. The Charleston convention adjourned without making nominations.
Somewhat ahead, and to the south, three large French observation planes were coming up toward the lines at la Chapelle. They were just about even, vertically, with the cloud bank over the Surmelin Valley. They would pass almost directly under the bottom flight, led by Yancey. Larkin watched them, somewhat idly. Photographic mission, probably.
Yancey, and that gentleman's throwing a solitary somerset will hardly turn the continent head over heels. The administration of Mr. Lincoln will be conservative, because no government is ever intentionally otherwise, and because power never knowingly undermines the foundation on which it rests.
Siddons and Hampden, not greatly interested in what they felt was some new strained humor on Yancey's part, pushed back from the table and started for the door, their objective being the French town of Is Sur Tille. Yancey waited until they were near the door before he answered Porter.
Those who headed the secession movement in 1850 in their respective states were among the leaders of secession in 1860 and 1861: Rhett in South Carolina; Yancey in Alabama; Jefferson Davis and Brown in Mississippi Garnett, Goode, and Hunter in Virginia; Johnston in Arkansas; Clingman in North Carolina.
Many of the most pronounced opponents of secession were given places in the public service. Toombs, who received the portfolio of State, though a secessionist, was conspicuously a moderate when compared with Rhett and Yancey. The adroit Benjamin, who became Attorney-General, had few points in common with the great extremists of Alabama and South Carolina.
"Very well, sir. But if you really fear any trouble, Larkin will be more effective in the top flight. Altitude means a lot and I always feel safer when he is sticking around close to me." "No, I want him with Yancey. We might get separated, and if I draw an ace for myself, I should give Yancey as good a card." McGee smiled at the pun.
It bore this address: P. A. KLUTCHEM, ESQ., Room 21, Star Building, Wall Street, Immediate. New York. The colonel turned pale and broke the seal. Out dropped his challenge! "Where did you get this?" he asked, aghast. "From the carrier. It was held for postage." Had a bombshell been exploded the effect could not have been more startling. Yancey was the first man on his feet.
