DEFEATS NOT ALWAYS DISASTERS
1t is worthy of reflection that very few OF
the battles of our revolution were decided
victories. An indomitabe people wear
out the enemy under defeats. Many u
day passed over the heads of the devoted
patriots of that time, when all seemed
darkness and imDenetrable gloom, Many
sad retreat they made, and many a de-
feat they suffered. They conquered under
al that, aud compelled the recognition Of
our independence. We have cause for
resentment now, and necessity, for the
renewal Of patriotic fire, but none for des-
pondency. The end is sure. There will
be no renewal of Union. Never!
