Build up the storied bronze, to tell The steps whereby this height she trod,— The thousand years that chronicle The toil of man, the help of God!

Xl. Russia,—by all odds the grandest of all European structures,—without waiting an hour for consultation with other Powers, sent back her assurances of sympathy with us in our efforts to frustrate this treasonable attempt to break up a free and prosperous Government, which had proved so powerful and beneficent a shield for the protection of all its people. Russia is the natural ally of the United States. She has a vast territory, and all her people look to her for protection. She has, during a thousand years, been slowly but surely emerging from Asiatic barbarism into the light and strength of modern civilization. She has, moreover, done what no other nation had done: she has carried the masses of her people along with her as fast as she has travelled herself. Oriental in her origin, she has maintained a patriarchal government. If it has ever been a despotism in form, it was manifestly the only machinery strong enough to govern, protect, and bless all her people. Sh

Oriental in her origin, she has maintained a patriarchal government. If it has ever been a despotism in form, it was manifestly the only machinery strong enough to govern, protect, and bless all her people. She undertook a work far more difficult than Rome had to do. She had to aggregate, harmonize, and blend together the great nomadic tribes of the East. When from the affluent social systems of Asia, bursting with crowded populations, they drifted westward on her now European territories, Russ

A thousand years, through storm and fire, With varying fate, the work has grown, Till Alexander crowns the spire Where Rurik laid the corner-stone.

To every race she gives a home, And creeds and laws enjoy her shade, Till far beyond the dreams of Rome Her Caesar's mandate is obey'd. She blends the virtues they impart, And holds within her life combined The patient faith of Asia's heart, The force of Europe's restless mind. She bids the nomad's wandering cease, She binds the wild marauder fast; Her ploughshares turn to homes of peace The battle-fields of ages past. And, nobler far, she dares to know Her future's task,—nor knows in vain, But strikes at once the generous blow That makes her millions men again! So, firmer based, her power expands, No
