History has, in like manner, its mirage
and some exceedingly keen OF secon'
sight will insist on seeing on Ithe height
Of Goose Creek an exact reproduction o
the famous Ides of March at the Capito

Fierce, fiery warriors fight upon the clouds,
and the whole coronation scene is pre-
sented distinctly. Il is just now that
with a whole people intent on i'm
proving their condition, and conten
with the government, our discontentet
class raises the cry Of "Casarism." Wha
are the people of America? A reckless
and turbulent mass, always in search Of {
master. An ignorant generation WHIT
can be led into revolution with the prom
Use Of loaf and a lodging. In nothing
is disrepect for the Americah people Sc
much shown as in comparing them with
the sabble OF Rome. Here is thei. des
cription:
The rabblemenf hooted and ciapped .hei,
chapped hands, and threw up their sweaty
nightcaps, and uttered such a deal OF
sinking breath, because Caesar refused the
crown, that it had almost choked Caesar,
for he swooned and fell down at it, and for
mine own part, dust not laugh tor fear
of opening my lips and receiving the bad
air.
Such is the character Of the ''rabb,e-
ment" that made the first Cesar. Those
who believe the American people capable
OF Casarism must have the same con-
temptuous opinion Of their ''stipking
BREATH" "greasy nightcaps" and
'chapped hands" al the bystapder who
thus describes the Cesar makers. Even
the immigrants whom we have described
do not come here to renew the same des-
potism which drove them from Europe. It
will be seen, then, thst not one condition Of
C@sarism exists in thu United States. In
the FIRST place we have no Caesar. In the
second place we have no distant Sicily.

fed like pigs.
Our farmers complain against the goe.
eminent that their corn can no. be got
away nor given away. Are the millions
who waged war of five years, and then
exchanged the field piece and caisson for
the wagon and plos, willing to become
the toilers upon the pyramids Of ambi-
ton? Are the Confederate soldiers, now

ever less disposed TO go voluntarily
unde. the martial law Of Ciesarism,
and if the chevalie McEnery or his
henchmen Of the Pi;ayane know any for
eign power able. even with their potent
to place aforeign Cesar on an
American throne, let them trot him out.
We suggested to our iallic antipode that if
il did not like this government, the ocean
was open for return to country it liked
better. We now suggest to those who
denounce republican government, who
