tbo ltouians could roast one half of a boar and boil
the other side {laughter) ; but 1 am sure you cannot
tlion Willi one half steainbeais, sewing

sidential canvasses the saturnalia nt American life
when slavi-s like Seward ate unchained from the
Senntn House, ns of old in Home, and let loose on the
Kairics lo lling all man net [' insult on their mnsicr-.

Then the ghost of John flrown makes Virginia
quick to calculate .Ibe profit and loss of slavery.
Beside this, honest nun, lew, but the salt of the limes
and school-houses ami pulpits, and now and then a
stray Prince, who, looking down South, declines to
venture among barbarous people, lest, unlike. St,
Paul's case, they show him Yen linle t.ln.lu. .--.. So,

Heavenwe mny come at last to be as wise as Napo-
leon, and believe " there is no power ,vilh,.ut ju-.tiie";
we mny grow lo be a.- good I liri.lhms as Cicero, and
hold that "baseness enn never tie expedient"; we
mny be as good I'rolestants as De Toci|ueville, nnd
declare that " whoever loves freedom lor anything
but Ii,., ,1 's self, is made to bo a slave."
