! By Joseph II. Robertson. Permit me- Mr. Presi
dent, to preface with few brief observations IN
sentiment am about TO offer. although to this com
! pany It may not be IN any wise necessary-Immed
ateiy preceding the dynasty Of the Cnsars, Rom
was divided into two great and powerful faction!
headed ny Tue most llustrlous men Of the age, CR
sar and Pompey. Then, as in our own time all IN
passions, feelings, prejudces, animosIes and vice
OF our nature, were brought into full action 10 sctv
the purposes and ends of party and the sSIstress
the World trembled and tottcred to her base Wit,
the violence Of the contest. Cmsar and Pomne
were IN arms and in this state ofthinrs all ewes wer
directed TO Marcus Brutus, lwho has been emphoti
caily styled the last Of the Romansl TO uscertai
what party no would espouse II was generally Inc
ieved ne would join Cesar, as Pompey and biuse
were at variance, and did not even exchange gnIut1
tons when they met-his father having been put t
death by Pompey, and moreover they differed in som
essential measures Of State With Cmssr he wa
on the most intimate and friendly terms, and it
supposed by some historians they we're closely allie,
and we oil remember that feeling remarl, of Casa
when he perceived Brutus among the conspiraror
and his then dlgnRed submission to the daprer of hi
adversarles. Yet with that nobloness Of soul uybc
always distinguished him. and which is ever conner
> ted with true patriotism, Bruus sacrificed his pr
Vatc feelings to the interests of the Commonwealth
and joined the standard Of Pompcy.-W this sho,
statement, Mr.. President give you,
