WIT AND SENTIMENT.
THE BATTLE AUTUMN OF 1852.


By JOHN O. WHITTIER. eFt.t
The flag of war like storm birds fy,
The charging trumpets blow
Yet rolls no thunder in the SKY,
a. No earthquake strives below.
And, calm and patient, Nature keeps
Her ancient promise well,
Though DER her bloom and greenness sweeps
The battles breath Of hell.
And still she walks in golden hours II.
Through haryest-happy farms,
And still she wears her fruit and MOVERS I
Like Jewels on her arms
What mean the gladness on the plain,
This JOY of eve and morn,
The mirth that shakes the board ofgrain
And yellow locks of corng
Ali eyes may well be fun Of tears,
And hearts with hate are hot
But eV paced come round the years,
And Nature changes not.
She meets with smiles our bitter grief,
With songs our groans Of pain
She mocks with that Of flower and leaf
The war-feld's crimson stain. .".
Still, in the lannon's pause we hear
Her sweet thanksgiving psalm;
Too to God for doubt or fear,
She shares the eternal calm.
She knows the seed lies safe below,
The fires that blast and burn
For all the tears of blood we SOW
She waits the rich return.
She sees with clearer eyes than ours
The good of suffering born
The hearts that blossom like her flowers
And ripens like her corn.
o, give TO u.s. in times like these
The visi on of her ewes a
And make her fields and fruited trees
Our golden prophecies
Oh, give to us her finer ear
Above this stormy din,
We, too, would hear the bells Of cheer
Ring peace and freedom in

the suggestion that rebels have any right to the
protection of the Constitution, and writes a terri
BILE philippe against all opponents upon that idea
of his
Well it is true that a rebel against the Consti-
tuition cuts ridiculous figure in claiming its pro-
lection. He has no right to complain OF just
punishment, whether it is constitutional or not.
But are loyal men absoved from the obligations
of the Constitution and the laws made in pur-
suance thereof? Where do they get the right TO
punish the rebel, except from the Constitution
Aud have they any right to nhct penalty
cept in the way provided by law in pursuance of
the Constitution The mur,lsrer deserves to die;
bat one has right to inhict the penalty except
he lie the minister OF the law. He might be sum

complain; but he must be indicted. tried by jury.
aud sentenced by judge. Ii Judge were to
order murderer to he taken out and hanged,
without a trial. he would be himself a murderer;
for he must in6ct the penalty according to the
Constitution and according TO law.
We derive the right to put down this rebellion
from the Constitution and from no other source:
when disregard that instrument we have no
more sanction for oCr acts than tile rebels. We
are only mob, and One mob is as lawful as
another.
1t may be announcement for us to regard con
stitutiona restraints whilst the rebels do not: so
il may be inconvenient for society to 60 through
the forms of law to punish murder; but 1t is not
on that account any better to punish without
law.
The Constitution gives ample power to put
down this rebellion. There l. excuse for vio-
latingit. To plead that we can do it because the
rebels have done il. is TO confess ourselves on a
dead level with them. What the Constitution
provides Is safe and efficient what il does not pro-
vide is awleSs, and ii followed is only rebellion
