must follow In the train Of that treason which
be had go crafiily instilled into the subtleties
Of his bold promu1gations. There Il a pang Of
remorac pervadirg bis fascinating face as he
listens 10 the orator inspired by prophetic vis-
Ion Of the future, when he cries out, "Whcn
my eyes shall be turned for the last time to
behold the tun in Heaven, may not see him
shining on the broken and dishonorcd frag-
ments Of once glorious Union-on States
Observation-Disclosures -billigereut-ona land
drenched, 1t may be, in fraterna1 blood" and
underneath this scene, Of some thirty years
OF coming events. The son has died il de-
ferse Of the lust words of the father on that
memorable day. "Libcrty and Union, one
and inscparable, now and forever"
fore us. THERE'S the ACCUSED, John g. Cal
houn, the arch intriguec and tar-sighsed
conspisator. There the bold accuser, Daniel
Webster, who intstvened the might Of his in-
tellect to avert the contemplated blow; AID
there the victim, the reprt sentative OF ten
Of battle, who, like him, have laid down their
liyts to preserve this "Union one and INSOFAR
able.'
The sccrc at Faueuii Hall was silent, solemn
md impressive oEe full Of history.
But, says some leader, where IS: the bright
cations OF dismal fo1ebodin:s. All, my Iri:nd:,
! fear the dawn Of the Day-sprng, from on
high, Is in the future.
There Is here, aud I believe genesa1ly
throughout tEe country, painful conviction
settling up tie public mind thAt our national
ex1s' cncc must be carried down well Diylt to
destruction before the government will be
lreussd to the Isefll5 which beset her. Tie
people feel ii It there is a want Of both states
mans1ip ard scnera1ship at the head Of cur
armies, ard tGat there is treason In some in
whom OUT government has seeming cont
derce.
That the rehe1s, thus far, hare sho 1n eu-
perior gtneralsEip. and for the moment re-
sultiDg in triumphs. there Ia no dispu:ing.
They have undoubtedly espoused that sjst-n
Of warfare, which the wise DeTncqueyil:c
Gays, very near1s destroyed the most ancient
ring the campaigns Of the revolution the
French Introduced q new system of tactics
into the art Of war, which perplexcl the Oldest
generals, and very ntlsly Destroyed the most
ancient znonarchies in Europe. Tucy under
took (what had never before been attemp,ed)
to muke shift without i number OF things
which had always been held to be- iud:sp.usl J.
ble in Hurfarc; they required novel e3trtious
Oh the p'rt of their troops, Which no civilized
nattens had eyer Thought Of; they achieved
time and they ri.ked human life without hes
itation to obtain tie object In view.
The French lad less money and fewer meu
th1n their enemies; their resources were init
nitely interior; nevertheless they were con-
stantly victorious until their advers1ries chose
to initiate thtir example.
How Striking the parallel II the tactics above
Described and those of the South. Look at
.he achievements of rebel armies, with i':dit-
fe1ent arms, With meager food, and bleeding
feet wrapped IN cloths, over armies we'll fed,
well clothed, supplied With everything; that
military FeniuS.CAn invent
Shame! sna1net tue people cry out in the
aGony Of their huuslia'ions. Some eEa'l the
loss Of the great principle Of democracy aa1
say thai virtue no longer inspires the conn
ellis Of our n.tion; that corrupt 1e1ders have
dragged the people do1n in partisan strife
until their VIRTUE, too, is well nigh lost. OH
e1s feel, when the testimony Of Pope is heard,
that the might Of million patriotic men
in arms is frit!ered away In shameful de-
fea1s by the jealous chickering's ot generals
inspired only by selfish anbition, And among
oil there Is deeply felt our great necessity for
leadership. 'For one VINO has power to
rally nation IN TIE hour Of thick-th1o ogiur
public disasters and calamities, one who will
slime amid the storm of war, /: beacou-lisht
to cheer and guide the couatry's friends, and
flame, tee, like meteor, to repel her 70 =. !"
But from no quarter have You yet heard q
ss-doubt for q moment OF our ultimate success
But then, how long arc We to drift nloog iu
great nre the sacrifices that are yet to be a.ie
Of life, Of fortune aud Of peace, before we are
allosed to shake off The c1nshing incubus Of
corrupt men In our armies aud councils 2
How long before Ne Shall agatu ln the majesty
Of Il pure and tree people rise up in successful
yin6lcation OF THAT great and nrver-dying
principle Of true democracy. SABINE.
