The war. Tor example. has set before the world
the noble spectacle of two great parties. long
separated by jealousies and rivalries, laying
aside ancestral enmities, and combining in the
cause of freedom and civilizations. Like Aris-
tides and Themistocles. who postponed their
private quarrel and united to head the host
which defeated the Persinn invaders at Mara
thon, SO have Democrats and Republicans agreed
to merge all minor differences, until the com-
mon enemy be defeated, and the supremacy of
Federal Government be universally aeknowl-
edged. 1t is fine augury for the interests of
our country, that Democracy is one with Repub-
licdnism in the vindcation Of the majesty of law
and in resisting oppression.

been well observed, in the capriciOus estimate
of human glory, the silent endurance of priva-
tion, however painful, is little in comparison
with the Oslentatious trophies of victory. The
laurel of the hero-alas for humanity that it
should be sO-grows best on the battle field;
