proud ol her literature, pr 1 ot" her generous nnd

What was it that scatteredihe I in ils of our labor, aud struck so roanj- good sol-diers from the Quid ol successful duty, and pandi ii dihe career of our victorious troops!

Or, perhaps, ho had lai.r events in his mind, andthought of the French Emperor's brilliant campaign

U«forgot how lew of there appliance- we hnd, and howpoor iho West was in all llie re.-.-ly materials of war,except, Indeed, ia that oao indispensablu material, ofbravo and loyal men, which she has no lavishly givento the service of Ihe country.

nothing remained but to enter into the kingdom

This depression in Ihe minds of all who liatoalavery

or civil liberty for ihe nation, as. long as it is sulleiod
