structive parallel. Jefferson described Virginia as fast sinking to be the Barbary of the Union,—meaning, of course, the Barbary of his day, which had not yet turned against Slavery. And Franklin also wrote, that he did not wish to see a new Barbary rising in America, and our long extended coast occupied by piratical States. In this each spoke with prophetic voice. Though on different sides of the Atlantic and on different continents, our Slave States and the original Barbary States occupi, and Tunis, whose tenacity for the Barbarism was equalled only by that of South Carolina, have renounced it one after another, and delivered it over to the indignation of mankind. Following this example, the parallel will be complete, and our Barbary will become the complement in Freedom to the African Barbary, as it has already been its complement in Slavery, and is unquestionably its complement in geographical character.

Indeed, like its own Alhambra,—which was not merely the abode of all that was refined and graceful and gentle in peace and in life, but the fearful fortress of military pride and honor, amidst whose magnificent ruins the heart still treasures up long recollections of gallantry and glory,—the poetry of Spain seems to identify itself with achievements that belong rather to its history; and, as it comes down to us through the lapse of ages, almost r<

The clergy, who had pleaded successfully for the Christian, felt no sympathy for the unbeliever.
