Rather let us say to the North, "Retrace your steps;" and to the South, "take your hand; the remedy for your grievances is in, and not out of the Union." The only man of the Revolution who was unfaithful, was from the North. Benedict Arnold rests under the scorn of the world as a traitor to his country.

His affectation of superiority to his brother litterateurs, his incessant difficulties with some one or other of them, his most supremely ridiculous quarrel about his own nose, are peculiarities which no caricaturing but his own could make more ludicrous and nonsensical than t
