rought to great disasters by their conduct. But they may still retrieve their good names by coming back at this critical moment and helping the brethren they have deserted to achieve a triumph which will cast into the shade all their former delinquencies. What can they gain, if, by their desertion and absence, we are conquered? Will the enemy respect them any more than those who have been faithful? Was there ever an enemy who, while he loved the treason, did not despise the traitor? Was Arnold an object of love to the British Government? They will be the most miserable and the most scorned, both by friend and foe, of all the inhabitants, white and black, of a subjugated land. How will they like to look upon themselves, their wives and children, reduced to the social position of negroes, thrust aside from every way of earning their bread by Yankees and foreigners, and feel that but for themselves this degradation and misery might not have been?--But look at the other side of the

from every way of earning their bread by Yankees and foreigners, and feel that but for themselves this degradation and misery might not have been?--But look at the other side of the question. What will be their condition if we succeed? Let us tell them that this is no such impossible matter as some of them fancy. There are armies in the field who are strong and confident of victory. There is a just God above, who controls the destinies of nations, and can save by many or by few. The United States can never bring such forces into the field as it has had in times past. Their capitalists are becoming alarmed by the prospect of an indefinite prolongation of the war.--Their public debt is believed to be already equal to the national debt of England. A grand financial crash may, at any moment, bring their arrogant pretensions to the dust. If true to ourselves, if faithful and enduring, we shall, with the blessing of Heaven, yet accomplish our independence. And what will be the feel
Napoleon (search for this): article 2
The Life of Julius CÆsar. By Napoleon III. It was announced, several years ago, that the Emperor Napoleon III. was engaged upon a life of Julius Cœsar; but we were not aware that it had been delivered to the printers — so completely are we shut off from the rest of the world — until it was so announced in a contemporary journal a few mornings since. The journal in question even publishes the preface to the work, which we regret we have not space to republish. It has been generally understood that this work was designed to run a parallel between the character, exploits, and times generally, of Julius Cœsar and the career of the first Napoleon, and to extend that parallel to the dynasty that succeeded. The Cœsarean and the Bonapartist maxims of government are shown to be the same; and, indeed, so they are, for they are the maxims of absolutism all the world over. "In writing history," says the Imperial historian, "what are the means to ascertain the truth? The only wa

If Cæsar had not taken upon himself to be master of Rome, somebody else would have done so — some one among the many military chiefs who who were always hanging about the Republic, full of ambition and talent, and always on the look-out for an opportunity to push their own fortunes. Such a thing as the dictatorship of Cæsar could not have occurred in Rome two hundred years before, while the Republic was engaged in its desperate struggle with Carthage. That it could occur now was owing to no fault of Cæsar himself. He did not mould the fashion of the times. He took advantage of circumstances which he saw gathered to his hand. That was all. Foolish Republican writers have revved against him because he destroyed the liberties of his country. Brutus drew his dagger on him upon that pretext. The fact is, there were no liberties for him to destroy.--They had vanished long before his day. He merely entered and took possession where he found the house vaca

of Cæsar, been prone to slavery and serfdom in all their degrading forms, it is because there was a general reason for it. "It is," says the Emperor, "because the wants and the interests of a society in labor required other means to be satisfied." In other words, the Roman people were no longer what they had been in by-gone days.--The conquest of Greece, of the East, and of Carthage, had let in a flood of luxury and wealth which had utterly corrupted the people. The civil wars of Scylla and Marius had given ample proof of this before Julius Cæsar came upon the stage. The people had begun to think all about property, and nothing about liberty; and it is a melancholy truth, illustrated by a thousand modern examples, that when the love of money has once gained the ascendant, every evil that can flow from a total depravation of manners is but too apt to follow.

Maximilian (search for this): article 3
It seems evident that Maximilian is steadily consolidating his powers in Mexico. He is believed to be a man of sagacity; of sound judgment; of an amiable disposition; a wise, liberal and firm man. His administration thus far confirms this belief, and we shall not be surprised to see Mexico become a happy, prosperous and powerful country under his reign. If the sagacious ruler of France lives long enough, Maximilian will receive from that powerful empire a support which will render it qMaximilian will receive from that powerful empire a support which will render it questionable in the extreme whether the United States will find it any child's play to undertake the overthrow of the new Power. Certainly, if the present war is protracted any considerable length of time, the United States may bid good-bye to its cherished schemes of territorial extension southward.
