History often re produces itself. II feVo''e"
in cycles. The events and Developments VI
the present day for example, are LII nAa'S
respects, but the counterpart OF those OK 10"
Revolutionary period. The same blindness anu
wickedoess. which made Eogiand throw away
an empire, have made the North throw away
the Uaiou. The same obstlnacy which made
tho British rulers persist ii their et,Tt te
c,p,h out the llber les Of America, and
10 s~uhjugate, b. iorcs, ! people resolved
to be free, impcls the L'ncoln dynasty
10 q like course of attempted tyranny.-
The same inability 10 accomplish their
wicked aim is seen, only the inability lar
greater now than then. The same pride WHICH
would not be re5aked until England was
plunged in distresses and humiliation, no"
urges tho North to sound the very depths Of
national shame. MSddcncd rather than taught
by their disasters, stuns with rage rather 'hsn
! disciplined By misfortune, their threats increase
| as their weakness becomes more revealed ana
| they present to the world the humiiiatlEg spec
tacle of inpotcnt rasel
In another respect do they Initiate Inc b7its
| rulers 10 whom we have referred. In proper
ton rs it became evident that they could mol
conquer America, they showed q sur oEe readi'
ness to engage in qusrrcls with other nations
Upon smsll occasions they added 10 the list o.
= =. -, a-,o ~ tho toat yn.~S 1T thotT
| attempt to subdae us. So The North seems
nov, almost DESTROYS Of q difficulty with hu
rope Whether they think an addition &c TIC
| number of their foes will diminish the shame
Of that discontinue, which in any event is 10"
| evident, or whether their wrath has dethFoneo
! their reason, We undertake. not TO decide
But the fi,paaucy with which they talk OF
whipping E gland any how, aHd france II need
be, Seems speech ra.hcr large for the racers
! Of Bull Run.
i, seems as if II, who rules among nations
is o. dainir 6 a separation Of conmunitics now AS
in l776.-and is US ng those most unwilling IL
it as the agents for ~insur.ns it. The work IS not
suth GENTLY accom- }lisacd yet. The ditch Of
sep ,ratiun is no, yet wide enough and deep
enuugh. Hcnce the rage Of the nacmen Is
suff red 10 continue, until the full! Object IS
gained. When thst resale is reached, then q
change vii, come orer their dream, such as
that which turned the u.slediction5 q
English ministers into propositions for pesce.
When news Of .Coiasaiiis' d:feat reachtd
! England it arous led y frenzy such as is DOW Wit
nessed in the :oaming d!G;ri6ea Of the North
ern journalists, over tbs Bull Run races. Blu
soon q change began to stesi abroad among the
people 4; and soon lhs word Fsace :! ~as heard.
The sound grew louder ard the demand grew
stronger, SO that tie ensuing March found a
BRITISH PailiaIDeDt which voted that the adTo'
| cate Offurther war ws3 IN errEny TO his count-y.
When ,hs lime Comes uow, Gua can, il like
manner, cause 8 nation 10 be bJrn in q day 10
similar sentiments. Meanwhile nothing remains
bur fer .he South 70 address herself TO nc- duty.
Nee. invsdsrs TT every polnL. HIT them hard
and hit them often. We are not only Sacur.
ing our lbprties, but We arc making 4 name
among tho nasons which shall secure US future
peace by commanding the respect Of those who
are witnesses Of cur patriotism aud Of our
proves in arms.
