the building. He was not molested on his retreat-perhaps her presence saved him.
After graduating at this college, he was employed as editor of the Ohio Observer, at Cleveland. Subsequently, Mr. Walker removed to Cincinnati, where he established a religious paper, The Watchman, under the patronage of the Synods of Ohio, Cincinnati and Indiana. Dr. Stowe, Jonathan Blanchard and J. Benton engaged to obtain 1,600 subscribers for his paper. Dr. Beecher and Dr. Stowe were then professors in Lane Seminary at Cincinnati which was thoroughly pro-slavery, and ulti- mately went down under the teachings of abo- litionism. Meantime, Mr. Walker did not tone down his editorials as to the subject of slavery in the columns of the Watchman, though he was requested to do so by some of its time- serving supporters.
While engaged in these editorial duties, he wrote and published his book, " Plan of Sal- vation." It has been translated into six lan- guages, and is a text book in the Theological institutions of Europe and America.
This was the crowning work of his life, but since that time he has been pastor of a church in Mansfield and Sandusky, Ohio, and latterly Professor of Mental Science at Wheaton Col- lege, his present home, where he is now enjoy- ing a green old age, beloved by all, but most by those who know him best. He has no chil- dren, but has adopted, raised and educated thirteen, and fitted them for responsible posi- tions in life.
Washington and Adams belonged to the old Federal party. Jefferson. though in har- mony with them as to the fundamental prin- ciples of Government, yet through his excessive zeal for the broadest forms of liberty, laid a deep foundation for a departure from the old Fed- eral conservative policy. He was radical, san- guine, and his mind was ready to indorse the verdict of popular convictions, even though sometimes perhaps hasty and ill digested. It

was due to his diplomaey and his publie poliey combined, that the declaration of the war of 1812 was made against England, which declar- ation was in violation of the sentiment of New England, as history abundantly proves. He had been Minister to France during the tran- sient glories of the Republic, which succeeded her revolution of 1798, and his sympathies be- ing entirely with her he never lost an occasion to give England a thrust in the conflict that followed between her and France, and our declaration of war against England helped France, besides settling old scores on our own account.
The war won nothing in theory, but more than any one could have hoped for in practical results and military glory. Jackson's vietory at New Orleans, though achieved after peace had been signed, placed him at the head of the accumulating force that was gathering strength in opposition to the old Federal policy of Wash- ington, and when these two forms were arrayed against each other with John Quincy Adams, the standard-bearer for the time-honored policy of his father, and Gen. Jackson the exponent of the Jeffersonian policy, the latter won the day. Jackson became President, and the beloved champion of popular rights par excellence. Under him the Democratie party became strong and invincible, till an issue came np bound to crush all partisan organizations. Meantime the Western States were rapidly being settled, and were destined to become the base of oper- ations, from which the champions of each side of the final issue between slavery and anti- slavery should inaugurate their policy, and put their respective machinery in motion.
The Whig party, whose success had been but transient, was going to seed. It had in its ranks too many Abolitionists to live permanently, besides its banking poliey had been disastrous to the country. But a new party rose into prominence out of the teachings of the men whose brief biographies have just been given,
and in the State of Illinois this policy gained its first substantial success politically, and set in motion a train of events as to State policy, that soon found its way into the national poliey. The eireumstances are these :
Soon after the murder of Lovejoy at Alton, a meeting was called at Chicago, not as a direct abolition meeting, but to characterize the ac- tion of the mob that killed him as a blow aimed against the constitutional right of the freedom of the press.
Rev. F. Bascom (now living at Downer's Grove), the late Dr. C. V. Dyer, Philo Carpen- ter and Calvin DeWolf (now living at Chicago) were the leading spirits of this meeting. A watch was kept outside, lest a mob might assail them during their deliberations, but no one molested them.
This was the first meeting ever held in Chi- cago that ealled in question the right of any- body to oppose slavery agitation by any means. fair or foul.
As has already been recorded in the biog- raphy of Benjamin Lundy, he came to Illinois after the death of Lovejoy, and established a paper in defense of constitutional rights.
After his (Lundy's) death in 1839, his paper was continued by Hooper Warren and Z. Eastman, the latter now a resident of May- wood, Cook Co., III.
In 1840, an Anti-slavery Presidential ticket was formed in Illinois, in Fulton County, with James Birney as standard-bearer. Here was the beginning ; but more practical results, through Illinois men, followed in due course.
Warren and Eastman's paper was continued at La Salle, on the same press that the old vet- eran Lundy had consecrated to the cause, till 1842, when Rev. F. Baseom invited Mr. East- man to come to Chicago, Dr. Dyer being the bearer of the invitation. It was accepted, and Mr. Eastman transferred his type and presses thither the same year (1842), and continued the paper under the name of the Western Citizen.

On declaring its policy, the Citizen said : " We see no reason why our Government should be overturned, our Constitution trampled under foot or the Union dissolved, or why the church organizations should be destroyed. * * We wish it understood that our course is re- formatory, and not destructive."
Icabod Codding soon became associated with Mr. Eastman, and took the field as lecturer. Chief Justice Chase said he was the most elo- quent orator he ever heard. The widow of Mr. Codding is still living at Lockport, Ill.
A convention was soon held in Chicago, at Chapman's Hall, on the southwest corner of La Salle and Randolph Streets, at which the new party sat in council, recognizing not only the usual methods of propagating their senti- ments, but recognizing the Underground Rail- road as a means worthy to be used. From this time henceforward, the Liberty party always put candidates in the field for State elections and for Congress as fast as the principles of the party gained a foothold in Congressional districts.
The Wilmot Proviso, the Nebraska Bill, Squatter Sovereignty, Fugitive Slave Laws, Re- peal of the Missouri Compromise, John Brown's Raid, and the Dred Scot Decision followed in their immutable train and augmented agitation till two great Illinois champions were brought into the arena destined, the one to rend asun- der the Democratic party, and the other to be the representative of the new party that was to rise into being amidst the din and strife and contending emotions that racked the brains of politicians opposed to moral sentiment. While numerical force was centering into the hands of the Liberty party during these years, the old Whig party still kept up its organiza- tion. Hon. E. B. Washburn was one of their number, and owed his first election to Con- gress to votes from the Liberty party, who joined with the Whigs, and astonished the stronghold of Democracy by electing him.
This signal defeat for the Democrats never was recovered from ; Mr. Washburn's heavy blows fell with great force upon the party to which he was opposed, and will descend into history as a monument to perpetuate the memory of Illinois as the vanguard in the new order of things about to take place. The Liberty party by this time held the situation in their own hands. Not that they outnumbered the Demo- crats, but because they held the balance of power. The Whigs could do nothing without them, and spread their sails to their breezes. They were potent in the Legislature, for these, too, they held the balance of power, and from this time onward they continued to circumvent their opponents till strong enough to take the field alone in their own name and with their own strength. Mr. Douglas' term in the South being about to expire, a new election was nec- essary in 1858. His joint debate with Mr. Lincoln at that time is still fresh in the minds of Illinois citizens. Mr. Douglas was elected by a majority of eight votes in the House of Representatives, which decided the election by their vote, but Mr. Lincoln had a majority of 4,000 popular votes in the State, and won the laurels during this debate that made him can- didate for the Presidency in 1860.
An anecdote is told of Mr. Lincoln concern- ing his supposed temerity in running against Mr. Douglas for the Senate, as follows : An inquirer says to him : "You don't expect to beat Douglas, do you ?" To which Mr. Lincoln responded that it was with him as it was with the boys who made an attack on a hornets' nest. "What do you expect to do, boys ?" You don't expect to take that hornets' nest, do you ?" "We don't know that we shall exactly take it," replied the boys, " but we shall be- devil the nest." So said Mr. Lincoln, " If we don't capture Douglas, we shall bedevil his nest."
Mr. Douglas' magnanimity to Mr. Lincoln after his election to the Presidency is well

known. He, too, was an Illinois man. He was the instrument by which the partisan ties that originally bound the party to a wrong princi- ple were rent asunder, when he became the candidate of its Northern wing for President at the same time that Lincoln was candidate for the Liberty party in 1860.
Every soldier who went from Illinois to fight against the rebellion may well feel pride in the part their State took in it, not only in being the first State to define the new policy of the Government, but in furnishing the great states- man to direct the arm of the nation when raised iu defense of those rights which are essential to the grandeur of a State, and especially to Illinois, whose central position binds its inter- ests alike to every part of the country. The record of Du Page County soldiers in the con- flict that decided the question that Illinois statesmen had been the first to give form and system to, is a noble one.
And, though the county is small, her soldiers took part in the most decisive campaigns and battles of the war, and those who have re- turned and are now living, are among our most
highly-esteemed fellow-citizens-efficient in the arts of peace as they were formidable on the field of battle.
The same may be said, as a rule, of all the soldiers who went from the North, and it may also be said that this fair fame is all the more to be prized, because so many share it ; but let it not be forgotten that the Liberty party of Illinois inserted the first wedge of disintegra- tion into the slavery plank of the Democratic party. This plank was a fungus growth on the trunk of their tree. Jefferson, from whom they claim origin, planted no such seed in its virgin soil, but it grew there as cancers sometimes grow in stalwart frames. The surgeon's knife has removed it. All this is simple history, and not partisan pleading in any sense.
Both the officers and men composing the Union army, were made up from each political party, and partisan issues were lost sight of in the transcendent crisis thrust upon the country by the hostile shots fired at the American flag that waved over Fort Sumter, near the spot where Fort Moultrie had repulsed the British in 1776.
CHAPTER VI.
RECORD OF DU PAGE COUNTY IN THE WAR OF THE REBELLION.
TN the war with Mexico, in 1846-47, the quota of Illinois was six regiments, which were the first ever raised in this State for regular service in the United States. Thirty- four years had passed since that time, and though the art of war had gone into disuse, when Abraham Lincoln made a call, April 16, 1861, for 75,000 troops to serve three months, ten regiments from Illinois responded, though their quota was but six. The number- ing began where regiments for the Mexican service left off, consequently the number of the
first regiment raised for service in the war of the rebellion was numbered seven.
SEVENTH REGIMENT.
The Seventh Regiment of Illinois Infantry was among President Lincoln's first call for three months' men. It was first organized April 25, 1861. Twenty-four men from Du Page Connty enrolled themselves in it as pio- neers in a new branch of industry in which they mostly if not all as yet were untaught. That they soon (like others who followed) became
91

efficient, the result proved. After the term for which this regiment had enlisted had expired, many of the men re-enlisted, and the regiment re-organized as veterans for three years' service at Camp Yates, Springfield, July 25, 1861. Its first destination was Ironton, where it was placed under the command of Gen. Prentiss. Cape Girardeau was the next point reached, and Fort Holt, Ky., its next.
On the 3d of February, it reached Fort Henry, from which place it started on the 12th for Fort Donelson, to take part in the siege of that post, then in the hands of the rebels, and here it was engaged in the last charge made against the enemy's works. After the capture of this fort, it was dispatched to the Tennessee River, and, the following April, took part in the battle of Shiloh, and subsequently in the battle of Corinth, which took place October 3, 4, during both of which days the Seventh was much of the time under fire. From the 18th of December, to the following year, 1863, iu May, it was mounted and engaged in raiding and skirmishing. On the 22d of December, the regiment re-enlisted as veterans. On the 11th of January, 1864, it was furloughed for thirty days to rest from its hitherto unceasing toils, at the expiration of which term it was sent to Pulaski, where, being again mounted, it went into scouting service in Northern Alabama.
On the 5th of October, 1864, it was in the sanguinary battle of Altoona Pass, where it lost 143 men. On the 9th of November, it joined Sherman's army in its mareh to the sea, after the successful accomplishment of which exploit the Seventh, together with its other companions in arms, marched in review before President Lincoln in Washington, who there beheld the men whose hardihood had won the eause for which such sacrifices had been made.
From there the Seventh proceeded to Louis- ville, where it was mustered out July 9, 1865.

THIRTEENTII REGIMENT.
The Thirteenth Regiment of Illinois Infantry. Company K, of this regiment was from Du Page County. It was organized at Dixon May 9, 1861, and mustered into service on the 24th. It was first ordered to Caseyville, Ill., thence to Rolla, Mo., and the succeeding October (the 25th) was ordered forward to join Fremont's army at Springfield.
Gen. Fremont being now removed, the plan of the campaign was changed, and the Thir- teenth was ordered back to Rolla, where it re- mained till December 12. From there it was ordered to Salem to guard against guerrillas for two weeks, after which it returned to Rolla, where it remained till March 6, 1862, when it was sent to join the army of Gen. Curtis, against whose army Price's rebels were making demon- strations. The junction was made with Gen. Curtis on the 18th of March, and on the 8th of April the army started for Helena, Ark. The march was one unremitting struggle through mud and water, and it was not till the last of July that their destination was reached. Here the regiment was attached to Gen. Steel's division of Sherman's army, then about to move against Vicksburg, the key to the Lower Mississippi, and as such a strategie point of im- portance second to no other in the Confederacy. On the 22d of December, 1862, an immense fleet of transports hung along the banks of the river, where the Thirteenth had enjoyed a brief respite from the toils of marching. Into these the men were closely packed and turned down
the turbid waters of this stream till the mouth of the Yazoo was reached. Here under a con- voy of gunboats they steamed up this tribu- tary to make an attack on Vicksburg from the east. On the morning of the 27th, the line of battle was formed, the Thirteenth occupying the left wing of the army in Gen. Steel's division. The first day was occupied in making ap- proaches to the formidable works of the enemy, and nothing more was done than to drive in their pickets. The next morning opened with a skirmish, but in the afternoon the Thirteenth and Sixteenth, led by Gen. Wyman, silenced some of the batteries of the enemy, while doing which Gen. Wyman fell mortally wounded, but he still encouraged his men. All this was but an insignificant skirmish compared to the work to be accomplished before the stars and stripes could shadow the defiant town in the closer ap- proaches, to which death lurked in ominous silence.
On the 29th, the desperate charge was made. "Twas upon the earthworks along the banks of Chickasaw Bayon. These were to be taken by storm, and before they could be reached, an open space must be traversed under fire from a sheltered foe from two directions. Into this terrible arena the Thirteenth led the way across two lines of rifle-pits, which they captured. This brought them within thirty rods of the frowning battlements yet to be taken. One hundred and seventy-seven of their men had fallen. To advance was death. The day was lost, and they retired in good order. The enemy were wild with delight, but the end was not yet.
At Arkansas Post was a large depot of stores, and 5,000 rebel troops to guard them. Gen. MeClernand was sent to take the place, and Gen. Steel's division, among whom was the Thirteenth, were a part of his forces. The at- tack was suddenly made, and a day's fighting was rewarded with the capture of the place, in- eluding 5,000 prisoners. This irreparable loss to the enemy was soon succeeded by another
93

severe one at Greenville, Miss., in which the Thirteenth had a hand, after which it shared the triumph of the capture of Jackson, the eapi- tal of the State of Mississippi, from whence it was ordered again to Vicksburg. and there manned the trenches which environed the place amidst a tempest of shot till it finally surren- dered, July 13. 1863-a monument of tena- cious hardihood in triumph over andaeions courage almost unparalleled in the records of modern warfare.
Chattanooga was the next principal scene of battle for the Thirteenth. It guarded the bag- gage train of the army to this place ; was fore- most in the capture of Tuscumbia, and lent a hand in taking Lookout Mountain, which mir- acculous achievement was soon followed by the victory of Mission Ridge, where the Thirteenth captured more prisoners of the Eighteenth Ala- bama than their own force numbered. The enemy now were in full retreat, and the Thir- teenth foremost in pursuit of them, but at Ring- gold Gap they made a stand, and, owing to the natural strength of their position, held our forces at bay. In the first charge that followed, many were killed, among whom was Capt. Wal- ter Blanchard, of Downer's Grove.
But a desperate encounter was yet in store for this regiment. At Madison Station, Ala., where it was posted, after being reduced by the casualties of war to 350 men fit for duty, it was surrounded by more than one thousand of the enemy's cavalry, with three pieces of artillery. After two hours' fighting, it made good its retreat, but left behind sixty-six men as prisoners. The enemy's loss was sixty killed and wounded.
In the summer of 1864, the regiment returned to their homes to rest, but soon re-enlisted in the Fifty-sixth. The entire loss during the war, from all causes, was 565 men.
