Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 4. (ed. Frank Moore), chapter 402 (search)
t naps: These have been made world-famous! Populaces Shall visit them for aye, as storied places; The Czar shall mention them upon his throne, And seamen, that keep watches of cold nights, Couple them with long marches and great fights; The antiquary treasure bits of bone Picked up, at ploughing, by some grinning clown, Who quoth: “How great a graveyard to so small a town!” Hereafter come romances, for our themes Are prouder than the Trojans or the Gauls. We have our Davids, Jonathans, and Sauls, Whose deeds will cover folios and reams, Where every dusty rail-car screams and steams, Look out on battle-plains and monuments, And any surplus shillings, dimes, and pence, Keep for the urchin's hat you stumble over-- His grandsire fought at Pittsburgh and at Dover! Not yet, my heart! the thousands still contending Forbid the hope that half the world confesses; The eagle strains and gnaws his yielding jesses: A moment more he shall be heavenward wending, And all our stars in the same azur

ut, I was a man before I was a Commissioner, when Mr. Giddings says of the fall of slavery, quoting Adams, Let it come; if it must come in blood, yet I say let it come! --that their associates on the platform are sure they are wrecking the party,--while many a heart beneath beats its first pulse of antislavery life. These are brave words. When I compare them with the general tone of Free Soil men in Congress, I distrust the atmosphere of Washington and of politics. These men move about, Sauls and Goliaths among us, taller by many a cubit. There they lose port and stature. Mr. Sumner's speech in the Senate unsays no part of his Faneuil Hall pledge. But, though discussing the same topic, no one would gather from any word or argument that the speaker ever took such ground as he did in Faneuil Hall. It is all through, the law, the manner of the surrender, not the surrender itself, of the slave, that he objects to. As my friend Mr. Pillsbury so forcibly says, so far as anything in

s by citizens. It has been briefly stated that Robert and James Saul, deserters, were shot by the citizens of Franklin county, Va., on Saturday last. They had been burning barns in the county. The Danville Register says: Robert Saul, Jas Saul, and a man named Patterson, were brought forward for trial before a jury of the citizens who had taken the matter in hand, and., the evidence being deemed conclusive of their guilt, they were without any regular process of law condemned to be shot. On Saturday evening the two Sauls were conducted by a large body of citizens into an old field and executed in military style; Patterson having turned evidence against them, was sent to jail, and now awaits further consideration. Fifty one guns were fired at the two criminals who were shot, but no person belonging to the army took a band in the execution, the affair being managed and conducted wholly by citizens of the county. The men confessed their guilt previous to their execution.
