HAS THE CRISIS ARRIVED.
It wouid be disloyal to assert and
more foolish to argue, that the in
terest we bear in our great strug
gle, is hut the loss of o territory
and the retreat of armies.
Even the disinterested has long
since determined, that our foe has
designed our fate, as a menial sub
jugation at tho cost of the lives of
multitudes, the desecratiou of
wept aloud, hut still the combat ra
ged for liberty. When thousands
of the first citizens of • Pisa worn
hrutnliy incarcerated in Genoa, they
entreated the Senate not to purchase
their freedom even b\ the surrender
of a single fortress i n' the posses
sion of the Republic.
But tho Republics of Italy like the
commonwealths of Greeco though'
able to withstand the shocks of
externa] subjugation, all ntlast dis
membered into ruin from thodiscordl
springing from tho exclusion of tho
unpriviledged, and the usurpation
of their equnlity by tho few in pow
er. The Venetian, oligarchy, tho
Athenean confederacy nlso nfFords
instructive counterparts of our times,
all teaching that the animating in
fluence of liburty and the prido of
race, may bo dissipated, when tho
sovereignties of tho whole are reser
ved to tlie few.
How fearful should we feel when
rumors of faction nre abroad in this
our trying time, when tho earnest
desire of all should be tho warmest
allegiance to our rulors and the moBt
jealous exercise of their perogntives.
It cannot bo that we shall yet full a
victim to the, low-born ambition of
our the peculant politician, or to tho
shameful prostitution of our cheifs
and rulers to petty caprice and per
sonal infatuation. No! let the bnso
and treacherous bo first garrotted
honor and the confiscation of our
property. Tho conflict has not
sprung out of tho fitful excitution
of national rivalry or the casual cb-
ulition of hostile feeling but from a nnJ the ob du rn teand incapacitated
mutual nnd deep-rooted hatred of
sectional aggression and sectional
resistance: Wherefore wo should
not expect thnt tho dashing of a
siuglc fiery billow upon the shore,
is to appease tho fury of the deep.
Such a conclusion would not rea
sonably comport with the character
of our foe, an Ishmrelitish Purititn,
bred of that rapacious spirit of
theft and merchandize, constitution
ally repulsive to that Dice sensibili
ty of honor which weighs the insult
rather than the injury nnd whom
Christianity has failed to teach
either pity or forgiveness; nor with
that southern spirit which 1ms evin
ced a scorn of death in tho defonse
of its boasted status. Liberty
against vassalage, tho emancipation
of labor from the yoko of a sorded |
and base moneyed aristocracy, the
same bloody conflict that has em
battled the races of earth 6ince the
Inauguration of classes^ is our strife.
It has already assumed a stnpende-
ous proportion, and why may it
not he the Armageddon.
The virtues of patriotism and the
sternness of loyalty, may be yet
overwhelmed in the vebomauco of
popular ambition and tho dark
strategics of truckling domngogne-
ism. When power conferod by the
sovereign masses for tho benefit of
tho whole, claims exemption from
restraint, its attachments will yield
to tho changes of societies; When
liberty without equality, a commu
nity of burdens without a commu
nity of interest is the plea of ne
cessity, revolution is ovoked, arraying
property against numbers, tho most
terrible of all contest that history
teaches.
No matter how elevated mny be,
tho civil virtues or patriotism of a
people, they will yet oxhaust by an
unceasing draft upon their forbear
ance.
Tho Urban civilizations of Italy
present muny Btriking illustrations
of this fact; tho children of tho
citizens of Cremona were placed bs-
foro tho walls of the city, by the
infuriated Gt-rmans, to deter tho
boseiged from disebargeing their
weapons; their partita, it is eaid
beheaded. Tho Facuvinn Senate
retained no ruler who did not ad
vance their power and distinction,
nnd Cicero roccommonded Pornpey
to the Romans ns their great Gen
eral, upon three accounts! that ho
was a man of courage, of conduct
and good fortune.
