vain the efforts of statesmen to stem the
rising tide of sectionalism: the poison had
been Introduced into the body politic and
with ceaseless, flow coursed the veins
and arteries until at last it reached
the heart, and the whole system became
corrupted. Then the fires of patriotism
BEGAN to grow dim: the Union and its
bond. the Constitution, were alike deri-
ded and anathemathized. This feeling of
sectionalism was not confined TO one sec
tion of the country. In the NUrth-in the
Soutl--in the East-aye, even here in the
West, the infection spread, and banners
were borne through the streets of our cit
u 1ion with Shareholders, in Church or
State" while the Constitution itself was de-
nounced as "a covenant with death and a
league with hell" It is no pleasure to me
to recall these things. You know, my fell
low citizens, that they are true; ]; ana you
know who 1t was tnat was mus engaged In
sowing the seeds OF treason and rebellion,
l will not harrow the feelings OF any man
by saying to him, Thou art the man"
leave to the still small voice OF conscience
to make the application, and while your
minds recur to the sad events OF the last
five years, and you feel something within
you calling tor revenge, let me Whisper
" forgive as you hope to be forgiyen;" and
say Co the demon who would incite to re-
renewed slaughter: : Behold your
once happy country; Peace be stiilF'
I recall an incident in Roman history
worthy our most profound consideration
The Romans and the Samnites were at
war. The historian tells us that the Sam
mites being unable to procure peace on any
conditions, they perseveringly remained in
their mountains and thought to draw the
Romans into snare which nature seemed
to have prepared expressly for them in the
Apprentices. Some Samnite shepherds led
the Romans to suppose that the large city
of Luceria was about to be taken. and per-
suaded them to succor it, passing the
mountains by the shortest road Led by
4
gions got entangled in deep and narrow
defile, between two rocks crowned with
gloomy forests. When they came to the
end they found it blocked up by enormous
trunks of trees. They attempted to return,
and found the snare closed against them.
The enemy was above their heads. The
General of the Samnites had only to delib- |
crate as to the fate of the Roman army,
which he might crush without struggle |
He asked the advice of his aged father, the
wise Herennius. The old man came to the
camp and pronounced this oracle: skill
them all, or send them all back with hon
or: destroy your enemies, or make friends
of them" Unhappily Pontius followed
neither of these counsels. He made
the Roman army pass under the yoke, |
and on the mere promise of q treaty |
sent them back into their own country,
mortally insulted. The Roman pride was
wounded. The only question now was to |
deceive the gods who had been called upon
ne witnesses of the promises of the con-
suls. Ppsthumius thus addressed the Sen
ate. ssIVe alone have sworn Give rs NJ |
