April 14 ( Friday the Ides ) Until today
nothing wns ever thought of sacrificing to
our country's wrongs For six months we
have worked to capture , but our causa being
almost lost , something dcclslvo nnd great
must bo tone But Its f allure wus owing to
others , who did not , ns t , strike for their
country with n heart I struck boldly , nnd
not ns the papers sav I walked with u firm
step through a thousand of nls friends , wus
stopped , but pushed on A colonel was nt
his side I shouted sic semper" before I
Hied In Jumping I broke my leg I passed
nil his plckots , rode sixty mlles that night
with the bono of my leg tearing the Mesh ut
every Jump I can never repent It though
wo bated to kill Our country owed nil her
troubles to him , God simply made
mo the Instrument of his punishment
The country is not what It was
I care not what becomns of mo I have no
desire to oulllvo my country
The night before the deoa I wrote a long
artlclo and left It for ono of the editors of
tbe National Intelligencer , in which I fully
sot out our reasons for our proceeding
Friday , 21 After bolng huutod Ilka a dog
through swnmps and woods , nnd last night
beingchnsod until I was forced to return
wet , cold and starving , with every mans
hand against mo , I am here in despair And
for why ? For doing what Brutus was hon
ored for ; what made Toll a hero And yet
I , for striking down a grontor tyrant than
the world over know , am looked
upon ns a common cutthroat
My act was purer than cither of theirs Ono
helped to bo great himself ; the other bad
not only bis country's but his own wrongs
to avenge I hopcdifornognin ; I knew no
privnto wrong ; 1 struck for my country and
that alone a country ground beneath this
tyranny and prayed for this end And yet ,
now behold the cold hand they extend to mo
God cannot pardon mo If I huvo done wrong ,
yet I cannot see any wrong except in serving
a degonoruto people The little , the very
little , I loft behind to clear my name , the
government will not allow tube printed For
my Country I have given un nil that makes
life sweet and holy , brought misery upon
my fumlly , mid , am sure thorc is no
pardon lu the heavens for mo stneo man
condemns mo so I have ouly beard what
has been done , ( except whnt I did mvsolf ) ,
and it fills rae with horror God , try nnd
forglvo and bless mymotber Tonight I will
once more try the river with tne intention to
cross , though 1 have a greater desire and
almost a mind to return to Washington and
In a measure clear my name , which I feel I
can do I do not rcpont the blow I struck
I may before God , but not to mini I think
I have done well , though I am abandoned
with the curse of Cain upon mc , when if the
world know my heart , that ono blow would
have made mc giuat , though I did desire no
grcatnuss
louight I shall try to escape
these blood hounds once more
Gods Will bo done I have too great a soul
to die like a criminal Ob , may He spare
mo and let mo die bravely I bless the en
tire world I have never hated or wronged
any ono This lust was not a wrong unless
God deems it so , and it is with Him to damn
or bless ine ,
And for this bravo boy Harold with mo ,
• who often prays with me , Who often prays
' ( yes before and since ) witn a true and sin
cere heart , was It crime in him 1 If so , why
can be pray the samel Ido notwish to shod

It is'all that's loft me ,
