The records of the enrtlest indlg- nation meetings held in thts city for the pure pose. of concerted action against the odious conduct of the hone Government. show that the most eloquent and most effective spenker. was tho youth of 17, New York was smaller thon, nnd its social cfreles, though more ex- elusive, were less Inilucnced by glare and giltter than now, and this radiant eollege Jad, glowing with patriotism and charged with sensitive indignation, inspired by gen- ius and gifted with maryolous cloquence,was not only adnittted to the privileged circles but was cagerly sought by thom, THE EXCITEMENT. OF INCIPIENT. REYOLU- TION AND REWELUION did not distract the young man’s mind from study, althongh the daily draught upon his nervous system was enormous, until the dawn of 1776, when colonial remonstrance ‘was seen to bo of no avail and armed resist- ance opened up the one path to litependenco ant honorable oxistence. ‘Then, dofing his student's cap and gown, being but 10 years old, Hamilton ratscd an artillery troop, took command himself, and tendered hls service to the Government. Ile was not playing sok dier, but meant business of grave audserious moment, In which he continued with vary- §ng fortune until Washington sought him as n member of his wilitary familly and mado him a confidential alde with tho rank of Tdeutenant-Colorel, During the three enau- Ing years Ilamilton rendered services to the Coinmander-In-Chief and tho country that cannot well be stated or — overestl- mated, His lovable natura drew Wash- Ington’s. regard and esteem, won’ his entire contidence, and repaid it all, ‘Yo him.was Intrusted the important eorre- spondence with which the fable of the Gen- eral was daily laden, With him moro. than Any other Washington consulted, discussed, and agreed. ‘They were bound together by tho closest and warmest ties of mentul aeumen, moral worth, and physical dangers. ‘Tho one always helped the other, WASILINGTON’S REPUTATION: was extended, and enhanced, and soltdifted by tho letters, ‘clear, concise, nnd cogent, which bore his signature and.-the stamp of Hamilton's brain as well. In'thoso days the Commander-in-Chief reported direct. tothe Cotitinentat ‘Congress, and it must ue borne in mind that the correspondence tntrusted to the youthful aide—all of which was done bes tween his ages of 10 and 2—inchuded re- ports and recommendations to Congress, protests and discussions with forelgn Goy- ernments, directions and reproofs to sub- ordinate officers, and tho thousand and one petty communteations born of tho developments of the day, Memorable in the data of his inilitary Ife were these experl- ences with Washington, bis suggestion to Congress in respect. to promotion from the ranks, his proposal that the negroes of the South should be armed and used as sol- diers, and his participation at the surrender of Cornwallis in Yorktown, HAMILTON'S CIVIL RECOND. But, although the intiitary service of Alex- ander Hamilton was thus fruittul,—so much so that Washington wrote him an autograph letter of thankful appreciation and eonfidenco at the close of tho war,—It Is probable that his genius {s best recognized tu conneetion with his civil, and more especially his finan- eal, record, In the exultation of tho coun- try at that time there was one terrible ele- entof distress. All finance was in ehnos, Distrust and vonfuston retgned, Cut off from sound commercial relations with Great Brit- ain, the new Nation and its Industries were on thoverge of financial aiarchy, Maimllton thus far had been conspicuous as an agitator before the war and a diplomat-soldicr dur- Ing Its continuance, but untill hig letter to Robert Morris, in 177), he being then 23 years old, no ona had looked to himfor advice or suggestion In that line of thought, ‘fo him tho country wag then indebted for a scheme, HE IT WAS WHO Finest sucoRSTED that when 9 nation needing monoy had nono it was a wiso thing to borrow on the public eredit, and in the year following he prepared and submitted to a mamber of tha Nutlonal Congress a plan of governmental basis, ox- istence, and procedure which wns the seed form of the greater Instrument that grow from it and nssumed tho form of the Constl- tution of the country, From this timo on Hamilton scomed impressed with tho iden that he had a mission superiuduced upon him; that he was to be the prophet leader of a now peoples that he was - to act ns the disembarrasser and releaser of tho ombarrassed and enfeebled com- niunities of the land, and that, clilef of all, his endeavor was to be directed to a consoll- dutton of tho various and sevoral States Into one harwonfous and potential whole, State- soverelgnty was lils bate noir, und the encray with which he pressed for n union, a nation anda national existence was characteristic of tho fervor of his bullef, That Haunilton, Who lived in the day of small things, looked. to tho futuro and saw with the oye of prophecy tho glory of the coming years, who enn doubt, after recalling lils prediction, In forty years this Natlon of 3,000,000 people will ‘be 9,000,000,” UAMILTON IN THE OADINET, As years rotted on and other men of mind Appeared upon the plane of oftietal Nfe Ham- {iton found himself associated with Wash- ington, Franklin, Madison, Jay, Jefferson, - Burr, and thelr compeers,” He was thelr us- sovinte, thotr peer lu all things, thelr supo- rior {uimany, His vigorous and suggestive pen was nover idle, and its uetivittes wero ever in tha best Interests of the country, When Washington was elected Vresktent hts firs act was to send for Tlunilton and tender him the Trensury portfolio—complimentary in one sense, a forlorn hope tn another, How he served his vountry In that trying position is mutter of history, © He found chaos, he organized order and diselpline, Hs predecossors In finance left hin nothing good ;-hjssuecessors havo changed but little that co designed, Ile grasped tho situation with intelllgence und handled it a8.9 surgeon does his patient, Le was honesty personified, No valid debt was repudiated, no dishonest claim was reeog-+ nized, Ho matte reputation for his country by stamping her obligations at home and abrond with his wilmpouchabte Integrity. ‘The credit of tho Nation appreciated, ILs plans were based in common sense, und ap penled ‘to tha most sensible nerve in ox- Jatenco—thatuf the pocket, Ills luttors, res ports, and) memorluls were made publte, and whon subniltted to the calm and selilsh analysis of financiers, stooit tho test, as they do to-day, ‘She fundamental law of the land ‘was propounded {n them, and tho marvel: ous prospurlty of tho Natlon ts thelr normal outgrowth,” * : HAMILTON AS A LAWYER’ That oven a patriot has neod for an oc- enstonal dollar will be generally conceded, Maving given the best years of his Hfe to his country Hiunilton in 1705 retired from public seryles ant entered tho practice of his pro- fesslon.

The theortes con- cerning thelr disagreements are many, but it appears tobe a fact that Burr was jeatous,. envious, and discontented; he regarded Haniflton as the one man in his path to pre- ferment, place, aid power; he forced a duel ou Hanilton, took deliberate atm at his ad- yersary, who was badly handled by his see- ond, shot hlin with intent to till, and left him dying.
