Washington (United States) (search for this): chapter 66
of violence. The volcano will ever threaten. The brightest skies will be no security against a whirlwind. The craziest slaveholding traitor can have no objection to such a truce, which by leaving him without punishment, leaves him without warning against a repetition of his crime. The hour he will reason, may be lost but not the day. The quarrel may be for a little while adjusted, he will say to his fellows, but we have always at hand the means of its renewal at pleasure. He will fervently thank his stars for an enemy who, when victorious over him, left all his resources unimpaired, and pretending to make a peace, was content with an armistice. Southern Independence associations will flourish under the sacred noses of the Federal Courts, and men who have forfeited fifty lives will stalk and strut, bully and brag, as of old, in Washington. It is not a pleasant picture to contemplate, but we had better know the chances now, than blunder into a Century of Anarchy. June 24, 1862.

holding interest can upon any occasion, pending any question, fail to have its own way. Voting in Congress will be the emptiest of farces' Honorable Members for the Plantations will have little need to discuss the merits of measures. Their speeches may well be brief and somewhat after this fashion: Do n't pass the bill! If you do, we shall revolt, you know, and really, by this time, we think that you must have had enough of that. We do n't know what Honorable Members for New York or Massachusetts would have to say to this. They might indeed in a passion retort: Revolt and be hanged! but after the old emollient arrangements, Honorable Members for the Plantations would laugh at hangmen as love laughs at locksmiths. This, we take it, would be sufficient to flutter the doves from the Free States into the most amiable compliance. If not, Slavery, the cause of unnumbered crimes and of all our woes, under the operation of the three-fifths clause of the Constitution, by the aid of it

duced to a skeleton, The Leg kept on the same as before. Slavery is the leg of the Southern Rebellion; and we are not surprised to hear, therefore, through General Butler, of a Southern Independence Association, which, when the Confederacy has gone to its diabolical father, is to labor for the reconstruction of the Democratic party, or any other political organization by which the South can regain its political ascendency, nor should we be electrified to learn that the virtuous Mr. Benjamin Wood has become an Honorary Brother of this shrewd league. If we must go back, no doubt argue these precautious patriarchs, let us see to it that we go back with Slavery strengthened, and with our chattels still more strongly confirmed to us! The dear Democrats are doubtless still our friends and will help us to make this detestable Union tolerable. We must admit that this shows not only good pluck but reasonable common sense. Slaveholders have found out that, Slavery preserved, they

en all's peace again; but we have been more lucky than wise. Araminta. And I suppose, for us, Clarissa, we are to go on with our dears, as we used to do. Clarissa. Just in the same track. So in the popular song of the Cork leg we are told that long after the portly proportions of the Rotterdam burgher were reduced to a skeleton, The Leg kept on the same as before. Slavery is the leg of the Southern Rebellion; and we are not surprised to hear, therefore, through General Butler, of a Southern Independence Association, which, when the Confederacy has gone to its diabolical father, is to labor for the reconstruction of the Democratic party, or any other political organization by which the South can regain its political ascendency, nor should we be electrified to learn that the virtuous Mr. Benjamin Wood has become an Honorary Brother of this shrewd league.
