of bis desi"us, he had gained a political, social, and
oven mora? supremacy. He had corrupted nenrly
all the public men, he had Ibo car of Ibo Executive,
hi. stuffed ihe ballol-box ; there seemed to be no rea-
son why, with prudent management, he should not
become the preponderating force in the nation, why
he should not at last become ihu one force; nnd he
would have done it il ho had not outwitted himself,
if be- bad not inceriiinentlv .-Itowc I bis hand, tioud
men did next lo nothing, ("iod maintained his awful
KEerve. There was a wonderful , a prodigious
silence oa tho part of all who luighi havo spoken
;
tho two or three voices thai were raised
drowned forthwith in the popular clamor, or si
cred bv the popular iti.lillcreueo. It was as if tin;
moral world stood etrtl to see ihe self-eonvictimi of
evil. Underground, swift and sure, burrowed ihe
old serpent ; now and then showing his bead in aouio
outrage on civilisation, but straightway drawing it
o.\peri in cove-ring his track, tiial none thought to
scotch him. It. was the wiliest game up to a certain
point, and then it was tho craziest. Every master-
stroke of policy was the beat thing that could havobeen doae for (5od. He oilcred a price (or the headof ejairiaon, and ms.le I'iarrison known ; bo insulted
Dr. t'hanniiig. nn.l startle-l Phillips to bis reel; hemobbed Phillips, and raised up anti-slavery orators
by the score; ho agonized to get thu Fugitive Slave
law, aud created the lleptihlic-an parly; ha brake
down the Missouri Compromise, ami let thu angel of
ihn North into his dominions ; ho invaded Kansas,
anil unearthed John Brown; be hung John llrown,
and multiplied avengers by the thomuind. Al Sum-tor, he was idiol enongb to elm, I; the last remaining
sentiment of Northern honor. Hell should have
deposed aim lor that blunder. Pandemonium shouldl--'D excommunicated him for such a piece nf non-
si! ; the fiends should have put the ratiy's cap ou
head. Slill there was another chance; th,0 last
hour had not come. He might still mutter tho black
Pntsr Nosier, and shed Ihe hypocritical tear, andretire to hia envo for a new rehearsal of his part.
Nobody wanted to bruise his head severely ; mostwould have been glad to see ii safely sheltered in n 5
hole—many begged him to draw it in. But tho
madman, absurdly imputing tht-i kind advice to fear,
nctuallv believed he bad done a wisa thing, andpersisted. Hi; raised bis cresl, and darted out bis
tongue, bo waved his scaly tail more fiercely than
over. Ins spit bis venom in Hoods, until, in self-defence,
the javelin of emaiieipalioa was driven into hia
heart. Slavery dies by its own hand; il3 worst
enemies have been its friends; <iqv. Wise hurt it
more lhan John Brown, Preston llrooks dealt it
more fatal blows than Charles Sumner ; Floyd
knocked away a more powerful prop than Wcndull
Phillips ; and JeD'erson Davis has wounded it more
mortally [ban Harrison.
Thus, my friends, it over is. The arch-traitor is
always takea in his owa trap; the father of lies
ilways tolls too many; the original murderer ends
n suicide. The highways of history are dotted all
ilong with tho trees on which ihe devil has hung
