there would have been no expedition
by Burgoyne, and none by st. Leger.
There would have been no battle OF
Saratoga, none of Bennington, none OF
Oriskany. Then there would have
been none of the terrible operations un-
der Brant and the Tories in revenge
for the losses Of the Indians at
Oriskany.
And none can doubt that the course
CT the Revolution would have been
along lines far different from those
which history records.
Can we ever understand the trans
formation of so gallant a patriot into
the Arnold of subsequent history I?
Ruined by extravagant living, ac-
cused of defective accounts, rebuked by
the in-chief, denied pro-
motion when men less deserving than
himself had been advanced; these may
explain, but can never excuse, an AWFUL
revenge which meant treason to the
cause he had so long and so faithfully
served. Let us then as final thought
turn to almost the final scene in his
life of which we have record.
