22584cried a baldheaded man from the fire--"Don''t your heart rise at the scent of this_ olla_, my boy?
22584was the bland query--"Pray what was it?"
22584what are my principles to you?
22584with a war in the land must people enjoy themselves?
22584you did?
42315Do you dispute the authority of the United States Government?
42315I then said to General Johnston:''How long can you hold Sherman north of the Chattahoochee River? 42315 Why should ships be an exception?
42315''Did you not tell my daughter there was no God?
42315''Do you believe in a God, miss?''
42315''Do you hear that sound-- click, click?''
42315''What are they going to do with me?''
42315''Why, what makes you think that?''
42315239; only the people of the State,299; how could the Government of the United States appear in a State and attempt to institute a State government?
42315451; to the State government, 451; the powers of the State government are just powers, 451; is the citizen''s life in danger?
42315457; the Government of the United States, 457; where was the government of the State of Tennessee and the sovereign people?
42315624; who is responsible for the war?
42315762; when the cause was lost, what cause was it?
42315Above all, should he be compelled to fall back for want of supplies, beat him?
42315Also, what has become of the unalienable right of property, which all the State governments were created to protect and preserve?
42315And suppose they could be induced by a proclamation of freedom from me to throw themselves upon us, what should we do with them?
42315April 11th he asks,"When will you launch, and when will she be ready for action?"
42315Are the freedom and personal liberty of the citizen in danger from unlawful arrest and imprisonment?
42315Can not you hire night- gangs for triple wages?"
42315Can you aid him?"
42315Can you not cut him off from it?
42315Could human ingenuity devise a method for a more perfect subversion of a constitutional duty?
42315Did he do it?
42315Does any one doubt that Major Pitcairn meant subjugation, or that Great Britain meant subjugation?
42315Does not this demonstrate an intent to subjugate our States?
42315Finally, the question was put to General Johnston categorically to this effect:''Will you surrender Atlanta without a fight?''
42315Floyd said,"General Buckner, if I place you in command, will you allow me to draw out my brigade?"
42315For what honest purpose were these declarations made?
42315Had Congress and the President made new laws of war?
42315Have the eternal principles of the Declaration of Independence been hid from our sight for ever?
42315How can we feed and care for such a multitude?
42315How could an invader attempt to"institute"a republican State government?
42315How would you like to have both your arms cut off?''
42315If a man may build a vessel for the purpose of offering it for sale to either belligerent party, may he not execute an order for it?
42315If it be asked,"Why did not General Johnston wait until the enemy marched from the river instead of attacking him at Shiloh or Pittsburg Landing?"
42315If it had the power now to do what it before had not, whence was it derived?
42315If the former, then what are constitutions worth for the protection of rights?
42315Is anything to be done?"
42315Is it henceforth to be a dictum of humanity that man may no more take up arms in defense of rights, liberty, and property?
42315Is it not evident that, only by a fiction of speech, such proceedings can be called an insurrection?
42315Is it strange that the men grew weak and attenuated?
42315Is not this an attempt, while pretending to establish, to destroy true republicanism?
42315Is such treatment of the Constitution the manner to preserve, protect, and defend it?
42315Is the citizen''s life in danger from violence?
42315Is the personal property of the citizen in danger of robbery or abduction?
42315Is the property of the citizen in danger of a violent and unjust seizure and unlawful detention or destruction?
42315Is there a single court, or magistrate, or individual that would be influenced by it there?
42315Let posterity answer the questions: Who were the revolutionists?
42315May not the House of Representatives impeach the President for such refusal?"
42315Now, then, tell me, if you please, what possible result of good would follow the issuing of such a proclamation as you desire?
42315Now, where were the"just powers"of the State government at this time?
42315Of what avail to ask for the privilege of bail when in military custody, which knows no such thing as bail?
42315Pemberton replied by asking:"Have you force enough to hold your position?
42315President Lincoln replied:"What good would a proclamation of emancipation from me do, especially as we are now situated?
42315STEVENS, THADDEUS, his remark,"Who pleads the Constitution against our proposed action"of confiscation?
42315The inquiry naturally arises, Was it because of this difference that Pope had been assigned to the command of the Army of Virginia?
42315Under these circumstances, who was the sovereign in Tennessee?
42315Under what principles, then, could the Government of the United States appear in Louisiana and attempt to institute a State government?
42315Was it against them as individuals in an unorganized condition, or as organized political communities?
42315Was it thus obeyed by Mr. Lincoln as the supreme law of the land?
42315Was the inherent sovereignty of the people destroyed by shot and shell?
42315Was this a government resting on the consent of the governed?
42315Was this an attempt to enforce a fiction or to establish the truth?
42315Were Federal prisoners left to suffer, and afterward photographed"to aid in firing the popular heart of the North"?
42315Were these the appropriate means by which to execute the laws, and in suppressing rioters to secure tranquillity and preserve a voluntary union?
42315What can you do?
42315What cause was it?
42315What need was thereof this second stipulation?
42315What were these supposed safeguards?
42315What, then, is the Government of the United States?
42315What, then, is this necessity?
42315When the cause was lost, what cause was it?
42315When the war closed, who were the victors?
42315Whence came the change?
42315Where must the American citizen look for the security of the rights with which he has been endowed by his Creator?
42315Where was the government of the State of Tennessee and the sovereign people?
42315Where was the sovereignty of the people under these proceedings?
42315Which is sovereign, Mr. Lincoln and his proclamation or the Constitution?
42315Which is the higher authority, Mr. Lincoln and his emancipation proclamation or the Constitution?
42315Who is the criminal?
42315Who is to decide what persons are"loyal"?
42315Who pleads the Constitution against our proposed action?"
42315Who shall decide?
42315Who was to be the umpire in such a case?
42315Who were really destroying the Constitution of the United States?
42315Who, then, had a right to"institute"a republican government for Louisiana?
42315Why call on him now?''
42315Why should ships alone be in themselves contraband?
42315Why were they not hung?
42315Will it always be thus?
42315Will it stand?
42315Will the safety of your army allow more time?
42315Would my word free the slaves, when I can not even enforce the Constitution in the rebel States?
42315_ Citizen''s life_, is it in danger?
42315_ Constitutions, Paper_, of what value are they?
42315_ Highwayman, The_, is he henceforth to be the lord of the highway?
42315_ Pirate, A_, who is one?
42315_ Power, where found_, for the United States to coöperate with a State in emancipation?
42315_ Revolutionists_, who were the?
42315_ Rights unalienable_, shall man no more take up arms in defense of?
42315_ Victors, Who were the_, when the war closed?
42315_ Which is the higher authority_, Mr. Lincoln''s emancipation proclamation, or the Constitution?
42315_ Who is the criminal?_ Let posterity answer, 178.
42315_ Why were they not hung?_ Our soldiers taken prisoners,"as rebels and traitors,"13.
42315and Why, the battle having been preconceived, were they so far removed as not to hear the first guns?
42315of the United States, who were really destroying?
42315the State guarantees his protection, 451; is the citizen''s personal liberty in danger?
36969A- coming down here a- spiling our country, and a- robbing our hen- roosts? 36969 AIN''T YOU ASHAMED OF YOU''UNS?"
36969And if we were, what would it matter? 36969 And the love of him whose manly courage and devotion won this tribute is the best blessing God ever gave you, is n''t it?"
36969Are you in pain, Captain?
36969Are you married?
36969But I must see him; I ca n''t live without seeing him; I must hire some one to go and take him up; ca n''t you get some one to take him up? 36969 But do they satisfy their hunger?"
36969But what does the doctor say, for I am mighty anxious to go?
36969Did I say all that?
36969Did you writ all that?
36969Had not you all better go home?
36969How can we reach it?
36969How is that,inquired Pat,"are we not friends?"
36969How perfectly ridiculous,do you say?
36969Is this Colonel Prince?
36969Kin you writ a letter?
36969Lee, Lee?
36969May I ask why he is a prisoner?
36969May n''t I wash your face?
36969She? 36969 Tell me the truth, wo n''t you?"
36969Think you that such as these are not deserving the help of those of us who have been more fortunate? 36969 This little paper is your most precious treasure, is n''t it?"
36969Well, madam,said the Federal officer, with bland politeness,"to what do I owe the honor of this visit?"
36969Well, what are you going to do now, John?
36969Well, what''s the trouble, sir?
36969What do you mean, sir?
36969What do you want here?
36969What is that?
36969What is the matter now?
36969What is the nature of those acts?
36969What is your name?
36969What must I do with her?
36969What''s the matter with this meat, madam? 36969 What''s the matter, man?"
36969When did he join it?
36969Where are the women who represented the six hundred thousand valiant soldiers who constituted the grandest army the world has yet known? 36969 Where can I get a little ice?"
36969Where is the nearest ford?
36969Where''s the General?
36969Which way?
36969Who are you-- one of the Yankees?
36969Who are you?
36969Who was Barbara Frietchie?
36969Why did n''t you take some ham last night?
36969Why do you and your troops rush into my house?
36969Why do you not let the nurse cut your nails?
36969Why, father,said I,"who ever heard of paying ten dollars for needles and thread?"
36969Will you come back to- morrow and go now?
36969Will you let me have your hair cut then? 36969 Will you not let me pray for you?"
36969Wouldst thou have me love thee, dearest, With a woman''s proudest heart, Which shall ever hold thee nearest, Shrined in its inmost part? 36969 You do n''t say so?"
36969''Who sent you with that message to me?''
36969*** Standing with the principles of''76 behind us, who can deny them that right?"
3696939?"
36969After being reassured as to his master''s safety, I asked,"Did he have a comfortable night, John?"
36969Again, I demand why you have burned my home?
36969Ai n''t you ashamed of you''uns?
36969Am I not more than repaid by their thanks?
36969And pray, sir, is he your husband or mine?"
36969And she replied:"Did you eat the mutton chops last night?"
36969And then he told me this interesting story:"Ever been to Frederick?"
36969Answer as you must answer before the Searcher of all hearts, why have you added this cruel, wicked deed to your many crimes?
36969Are n''t you ashamed of yourselves?
36969As one of these was rushing from a hot fire to the rear one day, his colonel shouted to him,"What are you running for?
36969Astonished at the calmness with which he seemed to be submitting to what he regarded as inevitable fate, I said to him,"Have you no defence?
36969At last the call of a sentry brought her to stand, with a hoarse"Who goes there?"
36969B. Gordon shouted,"Stop there, Jim; what makes you run?"
36969But of what importance was the fact that I was homeless, houseless and moneyless, in Richmond, the heart of Virginia?
36969But what has been the result of opening it to them?
36969But what was to be done?
36969But where is he buried?"
36969But, Lord, if we let the South go, as Mr. Lincoln says, where will we get our revenues?
36969But, my dear friends, have we not failed in one paramount duty?
36969Can I say,"God forgive you?"
36969Can ancient or modern history show a nobler or more unselfish and patriotic devotion to any cause?
36969Can life have any more terrible antithesis than this?
36969Catching at the suggestion as a revelation of duty, she asked,"And cheerfulness makes better soldiers of the men, does it not?"
36969Could any one lead a more consecrated life?
36969Could it be that Psyche had stirred one of the delicate plumes of her wing and touched that dormant soul?
36969Daniels?"
36969Declare war?
36969Did they think the night too terrible to be out?
36969Do ye think I would come all the way from Ireland to belong to one State when I have a right to belong to the whole of''em?"
36969Do you see that tender vine binding up the shattered tree and hiding its wounds?
36969Frenzied Finance replied in the words of Mr. Lincoln,"If we let the South go, where will we get our revenues?"
36969Have n''t Lee''s soldiers starved many a day?
36969He answered,"Yes, mother; what is it?"
36969He could not do it, but he said,"Ask your mother how much change she wants?"
36969How came these holes in it?"
36969How can this be?
36969How in the world could all those steel wires be bundled and controlled when a woman rode horseback or had to be packed in a buggy or carriage?
36969How on earth can I be calm?
36969I ai n''t got a single nigger that would be so mean as to force himself where he warn''t wanted, and what do we- uns want with you?
36969I ask who that does not wish infamy and disgrace attached to him forever would serve under you?
36969I asked her if she could get bread enough for her children by her work?
36969I called and said,"What''s the matter, Eddie?"
36969I felt, rather than thought it-- but, had I really found her heart?
36969I have come here to inquire whether you have a lad by the name of McCarthy a prisoner?"
36969I laughed and said:"Did you ever meet Barbara Frietchie?"
36969I tould him,''And what have you to say to what you done to our poor fellows?''
36969I wonder what is best?
36969I, therefore, a helpless woman whom you have cruelly wronged, address you, a Major- General of the United States army, and demand why this was done?
36969If I turned and lost my way entirely, what would become of me on such a night?
36969If one of my gells comes to you, you''ll give her a fair chance to shoot straight, wo n''t you, boys?"
36969If she drew her faded skirt-- ever a black one, in that case-- from the passing blue, was it"treason,"or human nature?
36969In Richmond, Atlanta, Charleston and elsewhere was she bitter and unforgiving?
36969Indeed, why?
36969Instead of taking it out of his vest pocket, father opened his pocket- book and said,"Did you say you wanted ten dollars or ten cents, my boy?"
36969Is it not, then, wonderful that soldiers whose families have suffered such things could be restrained when in a hostile country?
36969Is it possible that you abandoned your comrades and deserted your colors in the presence of the enemy without any reason?"
36969Is n''t it lucky it''s my left hand?"
36969Is not the whole land before thee?
36969Is she one of them Lees?"
36969Is she the daughter of whom you speak?"
36969Kin you gim me sich a thing as a b''iled sweet pur- r- rta- a- a- tu- ur?
36969My health and life are worth less than those of my brothers, and if they give theirs to the cause, why should not I do the same?
36969Oh, God, shall I ever again hear a cheer which bears a man''s whole soul in it?
36969Perceiving by the light of a brilliant moon that at least a half dozen men in uniforms were on the piazza, I asked:"Who is there?"
36969Said one of his neighbors:"Hello, John; the Yankees whipped you, did they?"
36969Shall I write a letter for you?
36969She is in ward G. What shall I do with her?"
36969She knitted and gazed, and at last inquired"who was them ar''soldiers, and whar''was they a- going to?"
36969She must have felt me shudder, for she turned pale as death, and, catching her breath at every word, she said,''Have you come without your furlough?
36969Slowly the dear old lady rose And tottering forward came, And peering dimly through her"specks,"Said,"Honey, what''s your name?"
36969Some ladies ran from a house which happened to stand just in front of his line, and asked him anxiously,"What shall we do, General, what shall we do?"
36969Somebody''s hand hath rested there, Was it a mother''s, soft and white; Or have the lips of a sister fair Been baptized in their waves of light?
36969Springing from the bed, he said:"What is it, my child?"
36969Tell me, have I saved the honor of Mary and Lucy?"
36969The man stepped out, laid his hand on my bridle and said:"Stop, lady, you can go no further; but where are you going?"
36969The young lady shrunk from the muzzle, and said:"How do I know?"
36969Then what?
36969Then why not, as Greeley and Phillips and thousands of Northern patriots urged, why not let these States go?
36969Then why should there be war?
36969There he said to the"farm hands:""Do n''t you know that a gentleman never dines without his coat?
36969They asked me,''What have you in that bag?''
36969They had no money-- the city had already given its part-- what could be done?
36969Thus the South was the mother of territories, and was it not natural that she should talk of territories and of her rights in the territories?
36969Tom, old fellow, what makes you start?
36969Turning to the prisoner, I asked,"What did you do when you received this letter?"
36969Was I to fail altogether of my mission?
36969Was it for this that you turned me, my young daughter, and little son out upon the world without a shelter?
36969Was it to the Union or to his State?
36969Was she"unreconstructed?"
36969Was the war between the States in 1861 a war in behalf of slavery on the one side and freedom on the other?
36969What could the Southern States do under such an insulting ultimatum from the triumphant North?
36969What did they do?
36969What did we ever do to you''uns that you should come a- killing our brothers and sons?
36969What for do you want us to live with you''uns, you poor white trash?
36969What had Mrs. Scott and her children done?
36969What of the negro?
36969What right have you to expect anything from us?"
36969What shall I do?
36969What should I do?
36969What surgeons in any age or in any war excelled the Confederate surgeons in skill, ingenuity or courage?
36969What was my offence?
36969What was the ground issue which held the Northern States so desperately on their crusade against the South?
36969What was the main spring of the Free Soil crusade?
36969What was working in that poor mind?
36969When the war is over, where shall we find our old churches, where her noble homesteads, scenes of domestic comfort and generous hospitality?
36969Where the little girls who carded and spun and knitted to help their mothers clothe the naked soldiers?
36969Where the women who with tireless energy ministered night and day to the sick and wounded and spoke words of hope to the dying?
36969Where the young girls who stood by the wayside to feed the hungry and quench the thirst of the men on their long and weary marches?
36969Where was the union?
36969Who begrudges a moment for the record of her patriotic services and unremitting toil?
36969Who can wonder that the heads of these poor ignorant people were turned and their moral natures poisoned?
36969Who does not see in her a glorious lesson?
36969Who was at the head of the domestic establishment?
36969Who was to blame for it all?
36969Who was to look after the sick when, as frequently happened, the physician was miles away?
36969Who was to superintend and see to all this if not a woman?
36969Who were the women of 1861?
36969Who would dare to wipe out to- day a State''s individuality?
36969Who, indeed, if not the mistress?
36969Who?
36969Why do I say this?
36969Why had I fainted?
36969Why not?
36969Why should they suffer?
36969Why was it that I could not meet one of them?
36969Would you mind seeing if he is all right?"
36969and who asked your permission, sir?
36969and"Where are you from?"
36969do you call this mob of retreating cowards an army?
36969how was it?"
36969if you are soldiers, why do n''t you stand and fight the savage wolves that are coming upon us defenceless women and children?"
36969oh, God!-how will- they endure it?"
43329''Do you think Sherman will treat with you?'' 43329 ''What force is this?''
43329A. M. K.Can the North expect impartial history to accept its miserable subterfuge of"disloyalty,"by which such testimony as this is now excluded?
4332910, and of New Orleans?
43329And how was this to be enumerated among the high crimes which caused the colonies to sever their connection with the mother country?
43329Are we called upon to settle what every body said from 1847 down to this date?
43329Are we to accept the imputation of error to Mr. Davis alone?
43329But are the issues of the war to be subjected to candid and impartial legal adjudication?
43329But can a candid world credit the charge of cruelty against the South?
43329But if it were otherwise; if they had neglected to assert a right; would that destroy it?
43329But if there was any thing"cruel and inhuman"in this deficiency,_ whose fault_ was it?
43329But is it true that, in this war, the men of property have shrunk from the ordeal of the battle- field?
43329But suppose Kentucky asserts her sovereignty, and chooses to unite with the South, what, then, becomes of State Sovereignty and State allegiance?
43329But suppose the same test should be applied to General Johnston; would there not be found an equal wanting of_ results_?
43329But waiving that, is it squatter sovereignty in its broadest sense?
43329But was this the only source of information, or was the impression otherwise sustained?
43329But what was his error after assumption of the Presidency?
43329But would the most stupid Bourbon partisan, therefore, call in question the mighty genius of Napoleon?
43329But, impartial history will ask, whence come these calumnies against the great, pure, and pious leader of a brave people, in a struggle for liberty?
43329But, pray, what one of those measures was it which excited the mob so described?
43329But, sir, what is the danger which now besets the Democratic party?
43329Can it be believed that the President would have taken that step, if satisfied of Johnston''s purpose to deliver battle for Atlanta?
43329Can the honorable gentleman from Mississippi say as much?
43329Can there be but one interpretation of the motives of those who rejected this noble offer?
43329Could any man say that this power was not retained by the States, since it was not given away?"
43329Could any man say, no?
43329Could that be in the face of a struggle that we were constantly carrying on against the opponents of the fugitive slave law?
43329Could there have been a more becoming and dignified exercise of the vaunted right of self- government?
43329Davis''party?''
43329Did I not offer to resign the only chairmanship of a committee I had if the Senate would confer it upon him?
43329Did Illinois then adopt my theory of protection in the Territories, or of the right of State secession?
43329Did Mr. Yancey, in his speech delivered at Charleston, justify the conclusions which the Senator draws from this letter?
43329Did Taylor''s subsequent career vindicate the President or the critics?
43329Did he admit them to be correct?
43329Did it mean that the Territories were to elect?
43329Did she receive it?
43329Does any one suspect the Confederate Government of deliberately stinting its own soldiers?
43329Does he not see that there is no justice in assuming a vote for an individual to be the entire adoption of his opinions?
43329Does it refer to organization of the Territory?
43329Does the Senator ask me for an answer?
43329Especially, what had all this to do with what he styled an indictment against him?
43329For what was our Government instituted?
43329Granting that General Johnston would have sought to hold Atlanta, can it be believed that the ultimate result would have been different?
43329Had the Declaration announced that the negroes were free and equal, how was the prince to be arraigned for raising up insurrection among them?
43329Has it been with the hope of sowing dissensions between us and our Western friends?
43329Has patriotism ceased to be a virtue, and is narrow sectionalism no longer to be counted a crime?
43329Have I ever promulgated a doctrine which indicated that if my friends were in power, I would sacrifice every other wing of the Democratic party?
43329Have I, at this or any other period of my acquaintance with him, done any thing to justify him in attributing that opinion to me?
43329Have the Democracy divided on that?
43329Have the purposes for which our Union was formed lost their value?
43329Have they divided on the resolutions of the States in 1840, or 1844, or 1848?
43329Have we so degenerated that we can no longer emulate their virtues?
43329He demanded, if powers not given were retained by implication?
43329He hurriedly inquired, as he listened to the tramp of the coming horsemen:"''What troops are these?''
43329How could it be possible, under such circumstances, to prevent suffering among the prisoners?
43329How could that be?
43329How do you propose to obtain terms?''
43329How will you reach Sherman?''
43329How, then, can it be pretended that it was"cruel and inhuman"to prisoners whom it fed as well?
43329If Atlanta should be surrendered, where would General Johnston expect to give battle?
43329If I had not made the offer, why did the Federal authorities send transportation to Savannah for ten or fifteen thousand men?
43329If I made the offer, based only on equivalents, why did the same transportation carry down for delivery only three thousand men?
43329If his opponents be the very small minority which he describes, what fear has he of persecution or proscription?
43329If no action upon the question was the prevailing opinion, what does the legislation mean?
43329If sovereignty passed by the recognition of the fact, how did he propose, by congressional act, to annul the territorial existence of Utah?
43329If the supply was inadequate or ill- assorted, we again ask, are_ we_ to be charged with cruelty and inhumanity?
43329If they had failed at some time to claim this protection, are they to be estopped, in all time to come, from claiming it?
43329In reply to the question of Mr. Davis,"General, how do you feel?"
43329Incapacity of the Federal Government to enact any law for the protection of slave property anywhere?
43329Is it a declaration that the inhabitants of a Territory can exercise all the powers of a State?
43329Is it so?
43329Is it, as has been asserted, the doctrine of intervention by Congress, and is that doctrine new?
43329Is the Senator answered?
43329Is the firm and constant support of Lee, of Sidney Johnston, of Jackson, and of Early to be accounted as nothing?
43329It may be asked, Why did Mr. Davis suffer this suspicion, when the proof of its injustice might have been so easily adduced?
43329More important still, what is the evidence?
43329Need we pursue this subject further?
43329Now, what is the"inexorable logic"of this train of evidence?
43329Of Alabama, led by the brilliant genius of Mr. Yancey?
43329Of what avail were the malignity, the misrepresentation, and the unrelenting vindictiveness of England against Napoleon?
43329Of_ whom_ is the cruelty and inhumanity to be alleged?
43329On what ground does the Senator now put it?...
43329Pray, sir, what had all this to do with the question?
43329Pray, what can this mean?
43329Shall the Rocky Mountains prove a dividing barrier to us?
43329Shall we preserve and transmit it to posterity?
43329Should secession be legally justified, what justification could the North claim, that is rightfully denied to Russia in her conduct towards Poland?
43329Squatter sovereignty?
43329The question shall not be, who fired the first shot?
43329The real point is, could not this Union have been made permanent by timely settlement, instead of cemented by fraternal blood and military rule?
43329Then how do the people of a State decide the question of what shall be property within the State?
43329Then, how did the South become responsible for the doctrine of General Cass, by consenting to his nomination in 1848, and supporting his election?
43329Then, where is this spirit of proscription, the complaint of which has constituted some hours of his speech?
43329To the profound erudition and philosophical genius of that eminent writer, as conspicuously displayed in his work entitled,"Is Davis a Traitor?"
43329To you would be presented the question, Will you allow the Constitutional Union to be changed into the despotism of a majority?
43329Under such circumstances, how could there be that unity and coöperation, without which the cause was preordained to failure?
43329Was President Davis to call twenty into existence, fit to command armies, when Napoleon declared his armies did not afford half a dozen?
43329Was it non- action in the District of Columbia?
43329Was there reason to believe that any better result would follow from a repetition of the offensive?
43329Was this the entertainment to which we were invited?
43329Was, then, the Western army to lie idle, awaiting the disposition and convenience of one man?
43329Were the patriots of Western Virginia, thousands of whom made heroic sacrifices, to be abandoned without an effort for their rescue?
43329What does it say?
43329What does"may elect"mean?
43329What is the question on which the Democracy are divided?
43329What plea should England need for her outrages upon Ireland?
43329What revisory function had we, if they, through their representatives, had full power to act on all such subjects whatsoever?
43329What, then, is the necessary inference?
43329When asked,"Why not let the South go?"
43329Where better arrangements to facilitate commerce?
43329Where does he get all this information?
43329Where else will one find a more happy union of magnificence and comfort?
43329Where is their right to do as they please?
43329Where so much of industry with so little noise and bustle?
43329Where were they?
43329Where, in a phrase, so much effected in proportion to the means employed?
43329Where, then, shall we get our revenue?_"And the united North reëchoed:"_ Let the South go!
43329Where, then, shall we look for the bounties and monopolies which have so enriched us at the expense of those improvident, unsuspecting Southerners?
43329Whether or not the use of that letter was justifiable, how is it to be assumed that the Southern States are bound by any opinion there enunciated?
43329Who can now doubt which was the better and more logical theory?
43329Who has advanced any such doctrine?
43329Who has the right to gainsay it?
43329Who may elect?
43329Who would undertake to show the Senator that he was in error?
43329Why did the States confer upon the Federal Government the great functions which it possesses?
43329Why the frequent reference to the conduct of the South on the Texas question?
43329Will our votes on test questions sustain it?
43329Will the North approve this raising of a doubt as to its own justification, merely in the hope of vengeance upon one who is powerless for injury?
43329Will you become the subjects of a hostile Government?
43329With all these things fresh in mind, what did they mean?
43329With what justice, then, can it be charged that Mr. Davis retained in command an officer proven to be incompetent?
43329Would any gentleman deny this?
43329Would not this undeserved exaltation have been so much unreasonable criticism and undeserved blame?"
43329You are practical people, and may ask, How is that contest to be avoided?
43329but,_ who offered the first aggression?
43329or of South Carolina, under the counsels of Messrs. Rhett and Orr, and the_ Charleston Mercury_?
43329or will you, outside of the Union, assert the equality, the liberty and sovereignty to which you were born?
43329that he realized the inextinguishable nature of English hostility, or anticipated the numerous perfidies of Austria?
17955Ai nt I to get some bread before I go to bed?
17955Alf what?
17955And did my wife sell her to anybody else?
17955And how do you propose offering the bribe?
17955And how much will that amount to, altogether?
17955And may I ask of what nature your intercourse was?
17955And what do you charge for the room?
17955And what made you leave New Orleans?
17955And your sister''s?
17955Are you certain that the woman who has been carried to jail is your Mistress?
17955Are you determined to leave home,he said,"and all its pleasures; and starve in the rebel lines?
17955Besides which, what are we to do with the dirt that is dug up?
17955But tell me, gal,she continued,"whar you come from?"
17955But vot can I to for you dis morning?
17955But what?
17955But where could my wife have gone to?
17955But you certain it am my mistis?
17955By what means did you purchase her?
17955Can I see him?
17955Can you take no less, sir?
17955Could nothing be done to keep her alive, if even it were as a maniac?
17955Did she bring out plenty of money with her?
17955Did you not hear the physician say it is my neglect that had caused you to be dying?
17955Did you not hear what the physician said?
17955Did your mistress-- I beg pardon-- I meant, did my wife tell you where she was going to?
17955Do you call it charity to assist another situated as your wife is, particularly where her husband is far from her fighting for his country?
17955Do you find this lady guilty or not guilty?
17955Do you not remember me, Elsy?
17955Do you think the woman who was here could have taken it?
17955Doctor,she asked,"will my daughter recover?"
17955Does the room suit you?
17955Eva, Eva,he exclaimed,"do all these give you back to me?
17955For the matter of that, I am as anxious to leave as you are, but in the name of wonder, how are we going to manage it?
17955Goodness sakes, Auntie,interrupted Elsy,"what did you do wid de dead chile?"
17955Gootness,observed that gentleman,"did you not shay I vas for to tell vy I pring dis voman up?"
17955Has Elsy been here yet?
17955Has he refused to let you have it?
17955Have they discharged him?
17955Have you a heart?
17955Have you been able to speak to the sentinel?
17955Have you not been able to find your mistress?
17955Have you not friends there?
17955How are you, Harry, my boy? 17955 How do you know that?"
17955How is Mrs. Wentworth this morning, father?
17955How long do you suppose she will linger?
17955How much is it?
17955How te tevil could it go mitout it vash taken away py somepody?
17955How will you attach the rope to the wall?
17955I do n''t want anything, granny,Ella answered, and remained silent for a moment, when she continued:"Granny ai nt I going to die?"
17955I understand; but who is she, and her name? 17955 In case you should be going to, what?"
17955Is Mr. Elder in?
17955Is Mr. Swartz in?
17955Is there no way by which I can discover where Mrs. Wentworth is residing at present?
17955Me, sir?
17955Mother ca n''t I get something to eat?
17955Mother, what are you crying for?
17955Mother,at last said her little infant,"why do you cry?"
17955Mother,exclaimed the child, as he rose from his bed,"it is morning now; ai nt I going to get some bread?"
17955My dear madam,said Mr. Awtry,"why do you give way to tears?
17955My husband?
17955No, I forget,she answered;"but what name did your mistis hab?"
17955Oh my wifesaid Alfred,"Is this the end of our married life?
17955So she is married?
17955So you belonged to Mr. Wentworth of New Orleans, did you?
17955Stay awhile, dearest,Alfred went on, as soon as he perceived Awtry,"Look at this man-- do you know him?"
17955The money which she took, to what use was, it placed? 17955 Then I wo n''t get any bread?"
17955Vat can I do mit it?
17955Vat is it?
17955Vat kind of security?
17955Veil, I vill puy te pedstead,he said, and then enquired:"How much monish do you vant for it?"
17955Vell, Mr. Elder, have you decided whether I can get the shtore or not? 17955 Vell, dat vill do; and I suppose you vill give me the shtore for von year certain?"

17955Well, my good, girl, what do you wish with me?
17955Well, sir, what is the price charged for the rent of one of your rooms?
17955Well, then, do you plead guilty, or not guilty?
17955Were you ever in this country before?
17955What arrangement was that?
17955What bring you to Jackson?
17955What can I have the honor of doing for you this morning?
17955What chile is it, Auntie?
17955What could have induced him to pay me this visit?
17955What do you intend doing, now the ports are blockaded, and no one can leave the country?
17955What do you say to bribing one of the sentinels?
17955What do you say to scaling the walls?
17955What do you want with him?
17955What do you wish, darling?
17955What does this mean?
17955What evidence?
17955What induced you to steal?
17955What is that verdict, gentlemen?
17955What is the matter with you?
17955What is your name?
17955What kind a chile is de one you had at your cabin?
17955What luck have you had?
17955What made Mrs. Wentworth leave New Orleans?
17955What news?
17955What was your master''s name?
17955What will you give me?
17955Where is he now while his child lies dead through destitution, and his wife feels the brand of the_ thief_ imprinted upon her forehead? 17955 Where is her husband?"
17955Where is she?
17955Where is your master now?
17955Where will we get the means from?
17955Who gave you the information?
17955Who would''a believe it? 17955 Why ai nt you got any bread?"
17955Why did I come here? 17955 Why do you imagine such a thing?"
17955Why do you speak so?
17955Why is there no bread?
17955Why, how could he have arrived in our lines?
17955Why, my darling?
17955Why?
17955Will that be enough to pay for a coffin for my child?
17955Will you buy the bedstead then?
17955Will you lend a small sum of money on it?
17955Will you let me come a little nearer?
17955Will you,he asked, speaking to the man,"be willing to wait until to- morrow before you take possession?"
17955Yes, and do you know anything about him?
17955Yes,Alfred answered,"but why do you ask?"
17955Yes,replied Mr. Ellington,"I visited America a few years ago, but why do you ask?"
17955You are not inclined to show the white feather now, are you?
17955You have,answered Dr. Humphries, rather astonished at the intelligence,"where is she?"
17955You say you do n''t know de name?
17955You spoke my husband''s name,she said in a hoarse tone,"what of him?"
17955You were not hurt, were you?
17955Your companion spoke of my husband as his friend; does he know where he is at present, and if so, can I not see him?
17955Accept your offer?"
17955After eating for a few minutes in silence, Horace suddenly said:"Charlie, what do you think of this war?"
17955And for her-- the soldier''s wife?
17955And now-- but why trouble the reader with any further remarks of the past?
17955Awtry?"
17955But do you tink he will bring de chile home, yah, and take care ob him?"
17955But how is it when the innocent suffer?
17955But vot price to you charge?"
17955But while we witness the guilty revelling in wealth and affluence, how often are the innocent plunged in want?
17955But why describe my sufferings?
17955By the way,"he continued, changing the conversation,"have you heard what has become of the supposed spy arrested in the court house?"
17955By the way,"he continued,"you said you suspected him to be the same man who caused your wife to be turned out of New Orleans?"
17955Can I get another bid?"
17955Can you devise one by which I can get away?"
17955Do they bring me happiness?
17955Do they restore my angel daughter?
17955Do you know why?"
17955Elder?"
17955Elsy curtsied as she enquired,"Shall I tell my Master''bout dis, sah?"
17955For where?
17955Go where?
17955Has he not suffered me to feel the pangs of hunger, to see my children deprived of bread, to permit me to stain my whole existence with a crime?
17955He could not lend or give her a paltry pittance; and why, forsooth?
17955Her appeal for charity had been rejected, and can we blame her if she yielded to the tempter and took the money lying before her?
17955How many men are there who live in ease and comfort, while their souls are burdened with sins?
17955Is it profanity to say that the eye of God had wandered from them?
17955Is she raving?"
17955Is this the work of God?
17955Kind reader, have you ever been to New Orleans?
17955Of what avail were her supplications to God?
17955Of what use was the money she had committed a crime to obtain?
17955Tell me Elsy,"he continued,"tell me what caused my wife to be turned out of the city?"
17955That she took the money is undeniable, but why did she take it?
17955These are your children?"
17955Was he not of the world as man generally finds it?
17955Wentworth.--"Is there anything I can do for you?"
17955Wentworth?"
17955Wentworth?"
17955What are their sufferings?
17955What can be the matter?"
17955What cared he for the sighs of the desolate, the appeals of the hungry, or the tears of the helpless?
17955What cared he longer for this world?
17955What do you say about digging a tunnel, and escaping by that route?"
17955What has God done to aid me in my misery?
17955What have I gained by severing the ties of love and leaving a happy home, to struggle for the liberty of my country?
17955What is that that makes man''s heart cold as the mountain tops of Kamtschatka?
17955What mercy could we attribute to God, did he willingly entail misery upon the innocent, or punish them for the crimes of the guilty?
17955What was de leetle gal name?"
17955What were words of consolation to her?
17955What will you bid for her?"
17955When did you first call in a medical practitioner?"
17955When he fell, pierced by the bullets of his comrades, was there not a murder committed?
17955When our maidens are ravished by the hated foe and despoiled of that Virtue held sacred in Heaven, is it the work of God?
17955When our temples are profaned by the bacchanalian orgies of the Northern hordes, does the Infinite invite them to desecrate His altars?
17955When the creeping babe is immolated by the savages of the North, is it a dispensation of Providence?
17955While they, the curse of the world, how was it with them?
17955Who did you buy her from?"
17955Who would not weep if they were parted from those they love, and were cast in a strange land without a friend, and with scarcely any means?
17955Why did I bring my child ill and dying from a shelter, and carry her through the night air, until I found a home in your lonely cabin?
17955Why in the name of wonder will you continue to look upon the dark side of the picture?
17955Why is he not here to succor the infant boy who yet remains, and who may soon follow his sister?
17955Why should he care for the misery of strangers?
17955and then, he added dryly,"there is one thing certain, my trunk(?)
17955do you desire to marry his widow?"
17955do you not know me?"
17955echoed his friend,"What in the name of all that is glorious, do you require any preparations for?"
17955exclaimed Alfred, raising her head and gazing fondly at the wan and emaciated features of his wife"_ is this_ all I find?"
17955exclaimed Harry,"are you going to raise any more objections?"
17955exclaimed Mrs. Wentworth,"where am I to go to?
17955exclaimed the Doctor,"and how was it that I have heard nothing about it until now?"
17955exclaimed the Doctor,"for what?"
17955he answered,"I recollect you now, and vat do you vant?"
17955is there on earth a spectacle so fearful to behold as_ starvation_?
17955ven vill te place pe rid of all te peggers?"
17955what become ob your mistis and de childen?"
17955what is it?
17955where is he?
17955who can forget it?
17955why did you not come earlier?
34827''And is he gone?'' 34827 ''Is he an Englishman-- does he look like an Englishman?''
34827''Who is this Burden?'' 34827 Are there many Yankee ships passing the Rock now?"
34827But what have Congressmen done in their individual capacity? 34827 But what''s the news from Rio?"
34827But, Captain, ca n''t we arrange the matter in some way? 34827 Can you make out the nationality of the ships in tow?"
34827Have any of them struck us?
34827How is that?
34827How so?
34827I suppose you''ll charge something for bringing these gentlemen on board?
34827It would not pay me, then, to cruise in these seas?
34827Now, in view of the above statement of facts, what has Congress done? 34827 That may do very well for the murder,"I now rejoined,"but what about the desertion?"
34827The d----l she is,said I;"how many shots has she fired at us?"
34827What does she look like?
34827What does this mean?
34827What is that?
34827What is the news?
34827What ship is that?
34827What ship is that?
34827What ship is that?
34827What,said I,"do they come on deck?"
34827Whence cometh the wind, and whither goeth it?
34827Why should I not, sir?
34827You are rather hard upon us, my friend,now rejoined the boarding- officer;"why should you take such an interest in the Confederate cause?"
34827You surprise me,rejoined the Captain;"how is that?"
34827''Have you ever seen him?''
34827Adjudication presupposes something to adjudicate; but if there was no contraband of war, on board the_ Trent_, what was there to adjudicate?
34827And if not, why not?
34827And if so, in what does the difference consist?
34827And if so, what business had his pennant, any more than his ensign, to be flying?
34827And in what does the supposed proceeding differ from the one in hand?
34827And is there any difference between escaping to the shore, and to a neutral flag?
34827And that steamship, what flag did she bear?
34827And then, as I stated to you, in my first letter, is not the honor of the French flag involved?
34827And then, where was the Congress, and the Massachusetts legislature, and Mr. Secretary Welles, and all the"plate,"and all the"resolutions"?
34827And what did Mr. Secretary Welles do?
34827And what is the consequence?
34827And what think you, reader, was the excuse?
34827And when the Constitution was formed, to whom was it submitted for ratification?
34827And why this transference from American ships to British ships?
34827And why would she not have complained?
34827And yet, how could I very well run away, in the face of the promises I had given my crew?
34827And, then, what about the necessity for_ protecting the machinery at all_?
34827As a mere general, he would have abandoned the hopeless task long ago, extricating his army, and throwing it into the field, but_ cui bono_?
34827Be frank; was, or was not, the transfer of your ship a_ bona fide_ transaction?"
34827Besides, who shall judge them?
34827But does not that officer forget that treason is made up of acts of war; and is it not apparent that you can not try me for an act of war?
34827But has a captor the right to destroy before adjudication?
34827But how does he affect the currents?
34827But how is it now?
34827But if the prizes can not be sent either into the ports of the Confederate States, or into neutral ports, how can this verification be made?
34827But in what direction is the atmosphere now moving?
34827But supposing the States to have been equally represented in those schools, what would have been the result?
34827But the cloud-- how came it there, why does it remain so faithfully at its post, and what are its functions?
34827But what becomes of this lighter globule of water, which has arisen to the surface, because it has been deprived of its solid matter?
34827But what was I to do with it?
34827But what was I to do with the prize?
34827But, does it follow that I may be tried for treason?
34827But,"what smoke is that we perceive, coming down the river?"
34827By the way, has the reader ever remarked that land is scarcely ever antipodal with land?
34827By what process was any portion of this allegiance transferred to the Federal Government, and to what extent was it transferred?
34827Can this be the ultimate design of the Yankee?
34827Come when it will-- we snatch the life of life; When lost-- what recks it-- by disease or strife?
34827Could they have parted with it, without consenting to a merger of their sovereignty?
34827Could this be the_ Alabama_?
34827Did Dupont send her back to Ingraham?
34827Did he not surrender his ship to me?
34827Did it result from their forms of government, and must democrats necessarily be vulgarians?
34827Did not each State, on the contrary, call its own convention?
34827Did the North follow this example set her by the South?
34827Did the captain mean to drown them?
34827Did these States send three fourths of the students to those schools?
34827Did they part, with the right of secession?
34827Did this time correspond with the known rate of travel of the circles?
34827Did we need other incitement on board the_ Alabama_, to apply a well- lighted torch to the enemy''s ships?
34827Disturbed for what?
34827Does any one wonder that the_ Alabama_ burned New England ships?
34827Does he see rebellion and treason lurking in the conduct of these States?
34827Does the fact of my prize being in British waters, in violation of the Queen''s proclamation, give it this right?
34827Had Mr. Seward forgotten, when he wrote the above, the case of Dr. Franklin''s ship, the_ Surprise_?
34827Had he forgotten the"Naval Bureau"which was conducted in France, by Dr. Franklin and Silas Deane, who were"stationed agents"of the Colonies?
34827Had, then, the Southern States the peaceful right to dissolve the compact of government under which they had lived with the North?
34827Has Congress agitated the subject at any time, in any manner, looking to a trial of the cases referred to?
34827Has Congress passed any law directing how the rebels shall be tried?
34827Has Congress passed any resolution requesting the President to order a military court for the trial of Davis& Co.?
34827He guarded them as he would the apple of his eye, for had he not a prize which might make him Consul for life at Tangier?
34827Here is the article:--"WHY DON''T CONGRESS ACT?
34827His name?
34827How are we to account for this?
34827How could we respect it, in such a connection?
34827How did it cease to exist?
34827How did the Convention vote on this proposition?
34827How is it possible to reconcile this short, explicit, and unambiguous provision with the theory I am combating?
34827How we should be astonished?
34827I asked if I was to be put in irons?
34827I came within easy speaking range-- about seventy- five yards-- and upon asking,"What steamer is that?"
34827I said to him,"Captain, your boats appear to me, to be rather deeply laden; are you not afraid to trust them?"
34827If A strikes B, is it lawful to interfere to preserve the peace, and if B strikes A, is it unlawful to interfere for the same purpose?
34827If a ship might be violated, why not territory?
34827If the_ Sumter_ were only in Bahia, where the_ Florida_ afterward was, how easily and securely the kicking might be done?
34827If these were straight winds, blowing contrary to the trades, why should they not blow steadily like the trades?
34827If they can not send them into neutral ports, where are they to send them?
34827If we are beaten in this war, what will be our fate in the Southern States?
34827If we could not defend ourselves before Richmond, could we defend ourselves anywhere?
34827In the meantime, the inquiry naturally presents itself, Where is the Yankee?
34827In what proportion did the States contribute it?
34827Is he too busy with his internal dissensions and politics?
34827Is it a bargain?"
34827Is it because the two particles, as they have gyrated around their respective poles, have received a repulsive polarity?
34827Is it not a fact, on the contrary, that the vote of eleven States did_ not_ bind the other two?
34827Is our Government a mere rope of sand, that may be destroyed at the will of the States?"
34827Is the miserable faction which has ruled the country for the last seven years determined to destroy all its prosperity, foreign as well as domestic?
34827Is this consistent with the supposed wisdom of the political Fathers, those practical, common sense men, who formed the Federal Constitution?
34827May it not be the same law which rides on the whirlwind, and directs the storm?
34827May not this arrangement have something to do with the currents, and the water- carriers, the winds?
34827Might it not be, that, after all our trials and sacrifices, the cause for which we were struggling would be lost?
34827My first lieutenant now approached me, and touching my elbow, said,"Captain, had we not better throw this howitzer overboard?
34827No wonder that Mr. Lincoln when asked,"why not let the South go?"
34827Now what is the result?
34827Oh, who can tell?
34827On what ground can you undertake to make this decision?
34827Or was it that the whole North had been wearing a mask, and that the mask was now no longer available, or desirable, to hide their treachery?
34827Our question, then, will be reduced to this, Was she commissioned by a sovereign power?
34827Sentinel:--"Who comes there?"
34827Shall that name be tarnished by defeat?
34827Shall we, too, become mongrelized, and disappear from the face of the earth?
34827Should, now, a French traveller, landing in Morocco,_ in itinere_, only, from a French ship, be subject to a different rule?
34827Such an export would indicate unparalleled wealth, but what is the fact?
34827The Government may not supply me with powder-- why?
34827The act still remaining to be atoned for, what was there to be gained, by sending the vessel in?
34827The next question which presents itself for our consideration is, Was the_ Alabama_ properly commissioned by a sovereign power?
34827The prisoners-- what did we do with them?
34827The question now is, who formed the Constitution, not what was formed by it?
34827The question now was, in what direction should we steer?
34827The ships would be hundreds of miles away from the land, and where could this dust come from?
34827The true, and the only just and fair criterion, is, was the act for which the arrest was made an act of war?
34827The"Where- away?"
34827The_ Alabama_, said he, was burning everything, right and left, even_ British_ property; would the Lion stand it?
34827This is a very questionable assertion; for why did Captain Winslow confide in that Englishman?
34827Under such circumstances, what think you, reader, was the subject of Mr. Gibson''s discourse?
34827WAS SECESSION TREASON?
34827Was I, under these circumstances, to plunge into the water with my sword in my hand and endeavor to swim to the_ Kearsarge_?
34827Was Secession Treason?
34827Was it not more natural, that I should hurl it into the depths of the ocean in defiance, and in hatred of the Yankee and his accursed flag?
34827Was the_ Kearsarge_ an exception?
34827Was there any convention of the people of the United States in the aggregate, as one nation, called for the purpose of considering it?
34827Was this one of the results which our ancestors designed, when they framed the federal compact?
34827Was this the sort of experiment in government, that our forefathers supposed they were making?
34827Was this the way he designed to punish them for mutiny, instead of hanging them at the yard- arm?
34827We captured the_ Tonawanda_, and the question immediately presented itself what should we do with her?
34827We repeat the question with which we commenced, and which is echoed by the people everywhere,''Why do n''t Congress act?''"
34827What a descent have we here, from the Plantagenets to Mr. Milner Gibson?
34827What can be the uses in the animal economy to which this immense quantity of oil in the head of the fish is applied?
34827What could have become of Banks, and his great expedition, and what was this squadron of steam ships- of- war doing here?
34827What could the fellow mean?
34827What could the_ Sumter_ effect against such odds?
34827What could this mean?
34827What is a diplomat fit for, unless he can be a little cunning, upon occasion?
34827What is the subtle influence which produces this wonderful result?
34827What is to prevent it?
34827What monstrous sophists we are, when interest prompts us?
34827What more could a monarch do?
34827What says the reader?
34827What scenes does not the very sight of this refectory present to the imagination?
34827What was best to be done in this changed condition of affairs?
34827What was expected of me under these circumstances?
34827What was to be done?
34827What wonder that I felt a lover''s resentment?
34827When they would talk to me about private property, I would ask to whom their ships belonged-- whether to a private person, or the Government?
34827When_ will_ naughty England pay that little bill?
34827Whence came the fund for the establishment of these schools?
34827Whence can such a conclusion be drawn?
34827Whence comes it?
34827Whence this difference?
34827Where was Mr. Welles''officer, that he did not come to demand it?
34827Where was that great constituency, composed of the people of the United States in the aggregate, as one nation, all this time?
34827Who could look into the horoscope of this ship-- who anticipate her career?
34827Who could tell which these nine States would be?
34827Who shall pronounce on which side the right or wrong lies?
34827Who shall say that the civilized man is a greater philosopher, than the savage of the China seas?
34827Why did he implore his interference, calling out,''For God''s sake, do what you can to save them?''
34827Why do n''t Congress act?
34827Why might she not have been taken into some other neutral port, for this purpose?
34827Why not?
34827Why was this disruption of the old government regarded as a matter of course?
34827Why, then, may not the Government supply me?
34827With a Yankee Mandarin on board, and a good supply of opium, and tracts, what a smashing business this little cruiser might have done?
34827Yes; here were my"forces,"but where, the d----l, was General Lee, and how was I to join him?
34827_ They never returned_, and I submit to the decision of the Department, whether they are not our prisoners?"
34827_ where then shall we get our revenue?_"This system of spoliation was commenced in 1816.
34827and did not some of the States accept it, and some of them refuse to accept it?
34827and if so, on what principle?
34827and secondly, Was there sufficient ground for this dissolution?
34827and, secondly, Was there sufficient reason for such dissolution?
34827have we no government capable of preserving itself?
34827or was it the_ Hydaspes_, from India, or the_ Lady Jocelyn_ from England?
34827that thou shouldst be mindful of him?"
34827what was done with the"old flag"?
34827what was to be done?
34827what was to become of her, and her vow?
31087Are you_ Union_ soldiers?
31087Echo answers where?
31087Stonewall Jackson? 31087 Under which King, Benzonian?"
31087What authority had he for this?
31087What is Randolph?
31087Where is McClellan, general?
31087Will not the Confederate soldiers now in Pennsylvania remember such acts of cruelty and barbarism? 31087 Will they come, when he does call for them?"
31087A few more weeks, at that rate, will consume his army, and then-- peace?
31087A moment after, Gen. Walker, of Georgia, came in, and addressed the colonel thus:"Is the Secretary in?"
31087A safe prediction-- but what is his belief?
31087A. Seddon, Secretary of War: Will you please send me, through the post- office, a passport to leave the city?
31087AUGUST 24TH.--We have nothing further from Charleston, except that Beauregard threatened retaliation( how?)
31087And Mr. Hotze( who is he?)
31087And are they not?
31087And do they not take gold and other property to the North, and thereby defeat the object of the sequestration act?
31087And he supposes Bragg''s splendid victory( what did he suppose the next day?)
31087And how could any of its members escape?
31087And is it nothing to have her soil polluted by the martial tramp of the Yankees at Alexandria and Arlington Heights?
31087And what are we doing?
31087And what are we doing?
31087And what are we fighting for?
31087And what would become of the slaves, especially in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri?
31087And will not that gallant boy in the 16th Regiment remember his mother''s fate, and take vengeance on the enemy?
31087At this rate, how are we to replenish the ranks as they become thinned in battle?
31087Bragg will_ probably_ be sustained by the President-- but then what will become of------, who is so inimical to Bragg?
31087But can he control the State governments?
31087But can he, a modest man and a Christian, aspire to such a position?
31087But how can Lee achieve anything when the enemy is ever kept informed not only of his movements in progress, but of his probable intentions?
31087But how can it be possible for the people of the North to submit to martial law?
31087But how can they be fed?
31087But how does this speak for the government, or rather the efficiency of the men who by"many indirect ways"came into power?
31087But how fares it with the invader?
31087But how long could he advance in that direction without being overwhelmed?
31087But how long will we be allowed to remain?
31087But if a forced reconstruction of the Union were consummated, does the North suppose any advantage would result to that section?
31087But if he could not hold his mountain position, what can he do in the plain?
31087But might they not, if this were adopted, be liable to be caught sometimes without enough ammunition?
31087But suppose it should_ not_ be relieved, and a force should be sent suddenly up the James and York Rivers?
31087But suppose that should be too late?
31087But the gunpowder will be used to destroy the destroyer, man, and why should not the birds sing?
31087But was Beauregard aware of the fact, before the opportunity ceased to exist?
31087But we can not fail without more great battles; and who knows what results may be evolved by them?
31087But what do they mean by the"_ nation_?"
31087But what good will the crops do, if we be subjugated in the mean time?
31087But what is in a name?
31087But what is this"agent"to procure in the United States which could not be had by our steamers plying regularly between Wilmington and Europe?
31087But what may not its ending be?
31087But what were they sent to Lee for, unless he meant to give battle?
31087But where are State Rights now?
31087But where will this end?
31087But who can foresee the future through the smoke of war, and amid the clash of bayonets?
31087But why does the government issue such an order in North Carolina, when the government itself is selling, not destroying, the cotton of Mississippi?
31087But will he?
31087But will the President dismiss his cabinet in time to save Richmond, Virginia, and the cause?
31087But will the government make itself popular with the people?
31087But will the potency of his cabinet feed Lee''s army?
31087But will the_ arms_ be distributed among them?
31087But with flour at$ 200 per barrel; meal,$ 20 per bushel, and meat from$ 2 to$ 5 per pound, what income would suffice?
31087But, then, what is the cotton business?
31087Ca n''t the troops be paid?
31087Can Savannah, and Charleston, and Wilmington be successfully defended?
31087Can he believe the silly tale about our troops being sent from Virginia to the Carolinas?
31087Can he have them?
31087Can it be Gen. Cooper( Northern) who procures the appointment of so many Northern generals in our army?
31087Can it be possible that the United States are ignorant of popular sentiment here?
31087Can it be possible that_ he_ has influenced the President''s mind on this subject?
31087Can it be possible that_ we_ have men in power who are capable of taking bribes from the enemy?
31087Can it be that his hesitation is caused by the advice of the President, in his great solicitude to make the best appointments?
31087Can it be that the President knows nothing of this?
31087Can such a people be subjugated?
31087Can such soldiers be vanquished?
31087Can that be the reason his smile has faded almost away?
31087Can the agents paid by the Signal Bureau be relied on?
31087Can there be war brewing between the United States and England or France?
31087Can they have intelligence from the West, not yet communicated to the public?
31087Can they mean to cross?
31087Can this be so?
31087Can this be the influence of Gen. Cooper?
31087Could Lee make such a blunder?
31087Could a Yankee have been the inventor of the Secretary''s plaything?
31087Could the Union men in the Convention, after being forced to pass the ordinance, have dealt a more fatal blow to their country?
31087Could the operations beneath have produced this phenomenon?
31087Could this communication be his resignation?
31087Could you not ascertain for me?
31087Did Pitt ever practice such things during his contest with Napoleon?
31087Did he have any conception of the surprise the enemy was executing at the moment?
31087Did he influence the mind of his father- in- law, G. W. Park Custis, to emancipate his hundreds of slaves?
31087Did he try them?
31087Did such a people ever exist before?
31087Did the Continental Government ever resort to such equivocal expedients?
31087Did the President know it yesterday?
31087Did they really suffer pain from their wounds?
31087Do they object to my acquaintance with the members?
31087Does he understand that they are to fight before being exchanged?
31087Does the general mean to alarm the authorities here?
31087Does this mean trading cotton with the enemy?
31087Does this really mean war?
31087Early''s army was scattered to the winds; that the enemy had the Central Railroad( where?)
31087Else why a prolongation of the war?
31087Elzey and Winder are doing-- and echo answers, WHAT?
31087Fort Caswell, below Wilmington, has been casemated with iron; but can it withstand elongated balls weighing 480 pounds?

31087Has Hooker the genius to conceive such a plan?
31087Has he been instructed on that point in reference to Gen. Price?
31087Has it not been clearly stated that independence alone will content us?
31087Have they not sworn to support it, etc.?
31087Have we not Southern men of sufficient genius to make generals of, for the defense of the South, without sending to New York for military commanders?
31087He said he had information that when Charleston_ fell_, South Carolina would conclude a treaty of peace( submission?)
31087He says he had an order from the Surgeon- General; but what right had he to give such orders?
31087He says the Federals asked his servants where the master and mistress had gone?
31087How can he obey the orders of one who was so recently under his command?
31087How can success be possible?
31087How can they detect political offenders, when they are too ignorant to comprehend what constitutes a political offense?
31087How can we live here, unless our salaries are increased?
31087How can we live here?
31087How could he refuse, since his own family( at least a portion of it) have enjoyed the benefits of sojourning in the North since the war began?
31087How could it be otherwise?
31087How did that get out-- if, indeed, such is the determination?
31087How in the mischief can such non- committalists ever arrive at a conclusion?
31087How is he, Gen. J., to get from Tennessee to Grenada with reinforcements, preceded by one army of the enemy, and followed by another?
31087How long can this war last?
31087How long shall we have even this variety and amount?
31087How long will it be after peace before the sectional hatred intensified by this war can abate?
31087How long will the people suffer thus?
31087How long will this continue?
31087How many Yankees will bleed and die in consequence of this order?
31087How many butchers would be required to accomplish the beneficent feat?
31087How many can you accommodate in hospitals at Baton Rouge?
31087How many do they expect to come forward, voluntarily, candidates for gunpowder and exposure in the trenches?
31087How many will rush forward a year hence to volunteer their services on the plains of the South?

31087How_ could_ the President"approve"such a law?
31087I have seven children; what shall I do?"
31087I wonder if the President will send them to Charleston?
31087If Donelson falls, what becomes of the ten or twelve thousand men at Bowling Green?
31087If Pemberton had acted differently, if the movement northward had been followed by disaster, then what would Mr. Lincoln have written to Grant?
31087If he were to die, what would be the consequences?
31087If it be determined to abandon the city, what will houses rent for then?
31087If it remains where it is, how can they subsist on it without selling it to the enemy?
31087If it should occur, will it give us peace?
31087If so, what may be the consequences when the falsehood is exposed?
31087If so, why can we not bear privation as well as our forefathers did?
31087If the enemy be defeated, and the Democrats of the North should call for a National Convention-- but why anticipate?
31087If they refuse to pay, then what will they deserve?
31087If this be so, who is responsible, after his alleged misconduct at the battle of the Seven Pines?
31087If we deserve it, we shall triumph; if not, why should we?
31087In future times, I wonder if it will be said that we had great men in this Congress?
31087In my young days I saw much of these sensational excitements, and partook of them; for how can the young resist them?
31087Is Hooker really there?
31087Is Providence frowning upon us for our sins, or upon our cause?
31087Is Stuart there?
31087Is he in the Adjutant- General''s office?
31087Is he in this fight?
31087Is it famine they dread, or a desire to keep out of the war?
31087Is it his intention to assume an independent attitude, and call the North Carolina troops to the rescue?
31087Is it not a condemnation of the President and the administration that displaced Gen. J., etc.?
31087Is it not_ certain_ that"Butler, the Beast,"is a party to the speculation?

31087Is the Federal_ Government_ a party to this arrangement?
31087Is there no turning point in this long lane of downward progress?
31087Is there really no Secretary of War?
31087Is there some grand political egg to be hatched?
31087Is this because they do not participate in the hardships and dangers of the field?
31087Is this the"sunny South"the North is fighting to possess?
31087It appears that Major H. has contracted for 50,000 muskets at$ 4 above the current price, leaving$ 200,000 commission for whom?
31087It is also stated that Grant''s losses have been 40,000, and ours 5000. Who could have computed them?
31087It is probable Charleston, Wilmington, and Richmond will fall without a battle; for how can they be held when the enemy stops supplies?
31087It is said Kirby Smith has defeated the enemy at Port Hudson; but how could his army get over the river?
31087It is true, some$ 300,000,000 might be collected in taxes, if due vigilance were observed,--but_ will_ it be observed?
31087It would cost, perhaps, a thousand lives; but is it not the business of war to consume human life?
31087JANUARY 31ST.--What if these men( they have passports) should be going to Washington to report the result of their reconnoissances in Tennessee?
31087JULY 13TH.--The_ Enquirer_ says the President has got a letter from Gen. Lee( why not give it to the people?)

31087Mr. Hunter indorses:"My dear sir, will you read the inclosed?
31087Mr. James Lyons thought he had made H. a Southern man; what does he think now?
31087North Carolina, one would think, is soon to be the scene of carnage; and it is asked what can 16,000 men do against 60,000?
31087Now what will Mr. Secretary do?
31087Now what will the_ Tribune_ say?
31087Now will the Secretary order an investigation?
31087Oh, patriotism, where are thy votaries?
31087Or did the Secretary keep it back till the new government( permanent) was launched into existence?
31087Or have propositions been made_ on our part_ for reconstruction?
31087Or if Lincoln should succeed in getting into the field the 500,000 men now called for?
31087Or is it a demonstration of the enemy to prevent him from sending reinforcements to North Carolina?
31087Or will Lee beat them up in their quarters?
31087Ought I to go?
31087Ought not Taylor''s forces to cross the Mississippi?
31087Shall we have_ another_ great battle on the Rappahannock?
31087Shall we starve?
31087So it is his determination to cross the Rappahannock?
31087Statesmen are the physicians of the public weal; and what doctor hesitates to vary his remedies with the new phases of disease?
31087Stewart who was sent here to the Provost Marshal-- a prisoner._ How did he get out?
31087That the enemy will come over and get it if we do not take it away?
31087The Commissary- General approves, and the late Secretary approved; but what will the new one do?
31087The President has the reins now, and Congress will be more obedient; but can they save this city?
31087The question is on every tongue-- have our generals relaxed in vigilance?
31087The question now is, who is right?
31087Then what else but independence, on some terms, could be the basis for_ further_ conference?
31087Then what will the Secretary do?
31087Then why not strive for the possible and the good in the paths of peace?

31087Trunks were packed in readiness-- for what?
31087Was ever such management known before?
31087Was it merely to deceive_ me_, knowing that I had some influence with certain leading journals?
31087Was it not thus in the trying times of the Revolution?

31087Will we thus blunder on to the end?
31087Will_ they_ compel the evacuation of the city?
31087Would not Mr. Benjamin throw his influence against such a suggestion?
31087Yet why are they so late in coming?
31087_ Can_ it be from the Government at Washington?
31087_ Miss._--But how shall the army be fed?
31087_ Why_ does he procrastinate?
31087_ Will these last until_----?
31087and how could the garrisons escape when once cut off from the interior?
31087exclaimed she,"how can I pay such prices?
31087how are our brave men faring in the hands of the demon fanatics in the United States?
31087or Gen. Winder''s corps of rogues and cut- throats?)
31087or a portent of the future?
31087to starve honest men into the Union?

31087was it accidental?
31087what is behind?
31087would abandon it?
31087would it not be too expensive--"too much for the whistle?"
19831... How have you progressed in the solution of the problem I left-- the organization of the troops with reference to the States, and term of service? 19831 First of all, we must inquire what is the cause of the evils which beset us?
19831On this point you say:` But did the necessity exist in this case? 19831 What species of military coercion,"said he,"could the General Government adopt for the enforcement of obedience to its demands?
19831Would it alter the fact,said he,"if a Legislature should solemnly enact that Mr. Hume never wrote the History of England?"
19831[ 83] Could language be more clear or more complete in vindication of the principles laid down in this work? 19831 _ Is thy servant a dog?_"its use in the United States Senate, 34.
19831''[ 196]"What, then, are militia?
19831... Sir, it has been asked on several occasions during the present session, What ground of complaint has the South?
19831324; his blockade proclamation, 324; its scheme, 324; how based, 324; its assumption of an insurrection, 325; was it an insurrection?
19831Allow a President to make war?
19831Allow a general of the army to make war?
19831Allow an officer of the army to make war?
19831Allow an unconfirmed head of a department to make war?
19831And do they furnish no cause for repentance to you?
19831And for what end, sir, is all this aggression?
19831And here the ingenuous reader may very naturally ask, What became of all this feeling?
19831And how was this to be enumerated among the high crimes which caused the colonies to sever their connection with the mother- country?
19831And is it not the part of integrity and wisdom, as soon as they can, to retrace their steps?
19831And still will you hesitate; still will you do nothing?
19831And why has the West so often been reminded of its services upon Texas annexation?
19831Are not the votes of this Convention taken on every question under the idea of independency?"
19831Are there not many cases, in which the Legislature of Virginia is a party, and yet the State is not sued?
19831Are these no subjects of complaint for us?
19831Are they but the little evanishing clouds that flit between the people and the great objects for which the Constitution was established?
19831Are we invaded?
19831Are we not bound to meet events as they come before us, manfully and patriotically to struggle with the difficulties which now oppress the country?
19831Are we to do nothing to restore peace?
19831Are we to drift into war?
19831Are we to have drum- head courts substituted for those which the Constitution and laws provide?
19831Are we to have sergeants sent over the land instead of civil magistrates?
19831Are we to stand idly by, and allow war to be precipitated upon the country?
19831At the end of all this what will you have effected?
19831But New York must be associated; and how is her concurrence to be obtained?
19831But can we believe that one State will ever suffer itself to be used as an instrument of coercion?
19831But did this omission of the obligation to send here the laws of the Territories work this grant of power to the Territorial Legislature?
19831But how can this force be exerted on the States collectively?
19831But what gained Sir Colin Campbell the opportunity to achieve those glorious results in India?
19831But who are those that arraign the South, imputing to us motives of sectional aggrandizement?
19831But why multiply citations?
19831But why need I indulge in these reflections in proof of my proposition?
19831But why not accept them with the propositions of the Confederate States on slavery as a basis of reunion?
19831But why-- and what laws are to be enforced?
19831But will the North agree to do this?
19831But, I ask again, what power has the President to use the army and navy except to execute process?
19831But, if that can not be, what then?
19831But, if you had known the acts of the authorities of South Carolina, should that have prevented your keeping your faith?
19831By strengthening this Government?
19831By themselves or by some of the States, all of whom, according to this hypothesis, had been consolidated into one?
19831By what standard do they measure it?
19831By whom were the powers granted to be perverted to the injury or oppression of the whole people?
19831Can it be that any of you should tread that soil and forget the great purposes for which those men died?
19831Can one and the same law be construed into a''calling forth the militia,''if the war be defensive, and a''raising of armies,''if the war be offensive?
19831Can the right be admitted in that community to usurp the sovereignty over territory which belongs to the States of the Union?
19831Can there be a point of pride against laying upon that sacred soil to- day the flag for which our fathers died?
19831Can there, then, be a point of pride upon so sacred a soil as this, where the blood of the fathers cries to heaven against civil war?
19831Can this be a definition of sovereignty?
19831Can this power extend so far as to take from her a portion of her territory, or to assert that there is a portion to which she is not entitled?
19831Can we consolidate their sovereignty and form one nation_, and annihilate the sovereignties of our States, who have sent us here for other purposes?"
19831Could any assertion be less credible than that they proceeded to institute another supreme government which it would be treason to resist?
19831Could any man say that this power was not retained by the States, as they had not given it away?
19831Could it have been transferred to the Government of the Union?
19831Could such a man be the just object of suspicion, if, when laws had been silenced, suspicion could justify arrest and imprisonment?
19831Could the claim to State''sovereignty''be more completely disposed of at a word?
19831Did real peace and the restoration of the States to their former rights and positions follow, as was promised on the restoration of the Union?
19831Did the Carolinians attack it?
19831Did the Constitution attempt to assimilate the institutions of the different States confederated together?
19831Did the States agree that they never could withdraw from the Federal Union?
19831Did the States surrender their sovereignty to the Federal Government?
19831Did they propose to seize it?
19831Did vengeance, which stops at the grave, subside?
19831Do they require that, in the establishment of the Constitution, the States should be regarded as distinct and independent sovereigns?
19831Do we want a new Government that is to overthrow the old?
19831Do we wish to erect a central Colossus, wielding at discretion the military arm, and exercising military force over the people and the States?
19831Do you pay taxes, then, to an agent, that he may destroy your property?
19831Do you support him for that purpose?
19831Does any man insist upon going upon the open field with deadly weapons to fight his brother on a question of courage?
19831Does any man''s courage impel him to stand boldly forth to take the life of his brethren?
19831Does it benefit the case?
19831Does the Constitution discriminate between different kinds of property?
19831Does the agriculture of the South injure the manufactures of the North?
19831For proof of this, I refer to the annexed documents marked,(?)
19831For what purpose must he call out this war power?
19831For why declare that things shall not be done, which there is no power to do?
19831For( says he) does not a power remain till it is given away?
19831From what have dangers to the Union arisen?
19831From whom comes the danger?
19831Good or evil?
19831Had the Declaration announced that the negroes were free and equal, how was the prince to be arraigned for raising up insurrection among them?
19831Has it a right to determine what shall be property?
19831Has it the right to say what shall be property anywhere?
19831Has patriotism ceased to be a virtue, and is narrow sectionalism no longer to be counted a crime?
19831Have the purposes for which our Union was formed lost their value?
19831Have they made a proposal of a compact between States?
19831Have they said, We, the States?
19831Have we not a right to appeal to you as brethren of this Union?
19831Have we so degenerated that we can no longer emulate their virtues?
19831Have we so formed our Government that in this litigation we must never be plaintiffs?
19831He says:"I ask, What are these principles?
19831How could recoveries be enforced?
19831How far are you to push us?
19831How is it to be carried on?
19831How is the case in Oregon?
19831How shall it be done?
19831How was it ever taken out of that source of all power to be given to the Federal Government?
19831How was it on the other side?
19831How was it that, in the course of a few weeks, it had disappeared like a morning mist?
19831How will you determine what is the seal, and who are the officers, of a community unknown as an organized body to the Congress of the United States?
19831How, then, have we to provide a remedy?
19831How?
19831How?
19831I asked in this Senate, weeks ago:"What causes the peril that is now imminent at Fort Moultrie; is it the weakness of the garrison?"
19831I have the highest veneration for those gentlemen[ its authors]; but, sir, give me leave to demand, What right had they to say,_ We, the people_?
19831I say, then, shall we cling to the mere forms or idolize the name of Union, when its blessings are lost, after its spirit has fled?
19831I wonder if this is what caused the artillery companies to be ordered here, and the militia of this city to be organized?
19831If it has, from what clause of the Constitution does it derive that power?
19831If it was already established, what need was there of further establishment?
19831If so, then of what advantage is a compact of union to States?
19831If so, what right had any soldier to destroy that armament lest it should fall into the hands of Carolina?
19831If so, where is it?
19831If so, who made it?
19831If the Declaration of Independence be true( and who here gainsays it?
19831If the States be parties, as States, what are their rights, and what their respective covenants and stipulations?
19831If this action is once tolerated, where will it end?
19831If, sir, the seeds of disunion have been sown broadcast over this land, I ask by whose hand they have been scattered?
19831If, then, there be no such distinction or discrimination; if protection be the duty( and who will deny it?)
19831In danger of what?
19831In defending them, he had said, after calling for the reading of the credentials of delegates:"Can we, on this ground, form a national Government?
19831In the mean time, what has been its operation?
19831In the name of common sense, I ask how are we to fight in the Union?
19831In this state of the case, my friends, why is the country agitated?
19831In this state of the case, then, we turn and ask, What is the character of the Administration?
19831In what conceivable way, then, was it lost or alienated?
19831In what have we now, or ever, back to the earliest period of our history, sought to deprive the North of any advantage it possessed?
19831Is a measure in which we of the minority are to receive nothing a compromise?
19831Is it because our sun is declining to the horizon?
19831Is it doubtful that this would lead to extravagance, if not to corruption?
19831Is it enjoyed?
19831Is it intended that it is not a constitutional right, because it is not granted in the Constitution?
19831Is it land and houses?
19831Is it meant to be a right derived from the Constitution-- a grant made in the Constitution?
19831Is it not a libel upon the statesmen of that generation to attribute to their grave and solemn declarations a meaning so vapid and absurd?
19831Is it not denied?
19831Is it rational to suppose that the sovereign power shall be dragged before a court?
19831Is it so?
19831Is it taxable property?
19831Is it the defect of the Federal organization, of the fundamental law of our Union?
19831Is it the fault of our legislation here?
19831Is it the organization of the local government?
19831Is it to be expected that a compact thus broken in part, violated in its important features, will be regarded as binding in all else?
19831Is it to divide the South and West?
19831Is it vain boasting which renders you anxious to proclaim to the world that we buy our buckets, our rakes, and our shovels from you?
19831Is it well, is it wise, is it safe, to disregard these manifestations of public displeasure, though it be the displeasure of a minority?
19831Is not a declaration of war an overt act?
19831Is that seen in the diminished comfort of the world?
19831Is that seen in the diminished resources of the country?
19831Is the reproach meant against these, my friends from the South, who advocate Southern rights and State rights?
19831Is there a man here who dreads that the deliberations of this body are to be interrupted by an armed force?
19831Is there a solution offered here?
19831Is there an exception?
19831Is there an insurrection?
19831Is there any point of pride which prevents us from withdrawing that garrison?
19831Is there any political power to authorize such interference?
19831Is there no such case at present?
19831Is there such equality between the cases that the same policy must apply to each?
19831Is there wisdom, is there patriotism in the land?
19831Is this agitation in the two halls of Congress, in relation to the domestic institutions of the South, no subject for complaint?
19831Is this sectional organization, for the purpose of hostility to our portion of the Union, no subject for complaint?
19831Is this the happy expedient that is to preserve liberty?
19831Measure the consequences to us of your assumption, and ask yourselves whether, as a free, honorable, and brave people, you would submit to it?
19831Mr. Chairman, why have such repeated calls been made upon the South to rally to the rescue?
19831Mr. Henry''s objection was thus answered by Mr. Madison:"Who are parties to it[ the Constitution]?
19831Mr. Motley thus dilates on the subject:"Could language be more imperial?
19831Mr. President, is there such incompatibility of interest between the two sections of this country that they can not profitably live together?
19831Nay, did they form two countries, or one country?
19831Need I say I mean Calhoun?
19831Now, I believe-- may I not say I believe?
19831Now, what is the remedy?
19831Of the Constitution, he says:"Does it call itself a compact?
19831Of the second, those of whom I have last spoken, I ask, in the Constitution, reason, right, or justice, what is there to sustain your theory?
19831Of what is the army to be composed?
19831On the other hand, are they not their life- blood?
19831Or is it all these combined with the people who possess them?
19831Or is not the reverse exhibited?
19831Or should they not find there satisfactory evidence that their past course was founded in error?
19831Or was it built for the protection of Charleston Harbor; and was it armed to make that protection effective?
19831Or, did he not rather think that emigration was to be allowed to take its course, and soil and climate be permitted to decide the great question?
19831Ought we not to make use of the name of the people?
19831Resistance was impracticable, and none was attempted; the militia surrendered, and were confined as prisoners; but prisoners of what?
19831Shall class interests control the great policy of our country, and the voice of reason be drowned in the clamor of causeless excitement?
19831Shall it be after the fall, when the earth was covered with thorns, and man had to earn his bread in the sweat of his brow?
19831Shall it be then?
19831Shall objects like these be endangered by the impatience of petty ambition, the promptings of sectional interest, or the goadings of fanatic hate?
19831Shall the Rocky Mountains prove a dividing barrier to us?
19831Shall the good of the whole be surrendered to the voracious demands of the few?
19831Shall we allow this separation to be total?
19831Shall we claim no more from that which we have constituted for our own purposes, and which we support by draining our own means for its support?
19831Shall we preserve and transmit it to posterity?
19831She has no compromise to offer but the Constitution, and no concession or surrender to make...."Can this be done?
19831Should they not immediately cease from a course mischievous in every stage, and finally tending to the greatest catastrophe?
19831Such was the case of Texas; is there a parallel in Oregon?
19831Suppose it was found proper for our adoption, and becoming the government of_ the people of Virginia_, by what style should it be done?
19831That the Union must be preserved?
19831The Constitution of the United States was formed for domestic tranquillity; and how, then, are we to fight in the Union?
19831The good of mankind?
19831The pertinent question that occurs is, Why was so obvious an attribute of sovereignty not expressly renounced if it was intended to surrender it?
19831The proposition would be welcomed in Connecticut; and could we doubt of New Hampshire?
19831The question for consideration was, What course should be adopted for the future action of the army?
19831The question is, How are armies to be raised?
19831The question which now presents itself to the country is, What shall we do with events as they stand?
19831Then what is our policy?
19831Then, my friends, are we to allow events to drift onward to this fatal consummation?
19831There were laws that were to be enforced in the time of the American Revolution.... Did Lord Chatham go for enforcing those laws?
19831This morning, for the first time, it has been considered; and what of encouragement have we received?
19831Threats of Arrest.--Departure from Washington.--Indications of Public Anxiety.--"Will there be war?"
19831Threats of Arrest.--Departure from Washington.--Indications of Public Anxiety.--"Will there be war?"
19831To the calm judgment of mankind is submitted the question, Who was responsible for the war between the States?
19831To what issue are you now pressing us?
19831To what purpose would it be to authorize suits against States for the debts they owe?
19831To whom did those arms belong?
19831To whom, in fine,_ could_ the States have surrendered their sovereignty?
19831Under what circumstances?
19831Was an armament put into it for such a purpose?
19831Was it an insurrection?
19831Was it not liable to the bondholders?]
19831Was it practicable?...
19831Was that fort built to make war upon Carolina?
19831Was this sentiment real or feigned?
19831What Southern Senator, during this whole session, has attacked any portion, or any interest, of the North?
19831What Southern man would wish it less by one of the Northern names of which it is composed?
19831What assurance have we there for the safety of the country?
19831What circumstances?
19831What conclusion is to be drawn from such action?
19831What course would then have remained to the Southern States?
19831What does that mean?
19831What is a State?
19831What is it, I say, which can be counted in the balance on our side against the performance of that duty which is imposed upon us?
19831What is meant by a constitutional right?
19831What is the Constitution of the United States?
19831What is the Executive department doing?
19831What is the exception to it?
19831What is the message before us?
19831What new hope for mankind is to be found in written constitutions, what remedy which did not exist under kings or emperors?
19831What power does Congress possess in this connection?
19831What resource for justice-- what assurance of tranquillity-- what guarantee of safety-- now remained for the South?
19831What right had Congress then, or what right has it now, to abdicate any power conferred upon it as trustee of the States?
19831What shall we say to our people when we come to meet this state of facts?
19831What strength is there in bills of rights-- in limitations of power?
19831What was the condition of things?
19831What was then the consequence?
19831What, Senators, to- day is the condition of the country?
19831What, my friends, must be the consequences?
19831What, then, is the duty of the State of New York?
19831What, then, is their standard?
19831When before in the history of our land was it that a mob could resist the sound public opinion of the country?
19831When before was it that an unarmed magistrate had not the power, by crying,"I command the peace,"to quell a mob in any portion of the land?
19831When, sir, did that ever happen?
19831When, where, or how, has she been laggard or deserter?
19831Where does he get it?
19831Where does he get the"clear and undeniable"power to use the force of the United States in the manner he there proposes?
19831Where is the grant?
19831Where is the judge who is to sit over the court to try natural rights?
19831Where is the value of constitutional liberty?
19831Where was the host of men who had declared that an army marching to invade the Southern States should first pass over their dead bodies?
19831Where will you go and not meet some monument to inspire such sentiments?
19831Where, then, is it?
19831Where, then, is there any room for a controversy in regard to the actual command, and what profit can there be in it?
19831Who ever heard of a compact to which there were no parties?
19831Who is to define them?
19831Who would keep a flower, which had lost its beauty and its fragrance, and in their stead had formed a seed- vessel containing the deadliest poison?
19831Why did I make that statement?
19831Why is it that Texas is referred to, and treated as a Southern measure merely, though its northern latitude is 42 °?
19831Why is it that the peace of the country is disturbed in order that one people may judge of what another people may do?
19831Why is it, then, I say, that you are thus agitated in relation to the domestic affairs of other communities?
19831Why may we not bring the manufacturers to the side of agriculture, and commerce, too, the ready servant of both?
19831Why should we care whether they go into other Territories or not?
19831Why was it not recalled?
19831Why was it withheld during the intervening twenty- three days?
19831Why were they seized?
19831Why, then, I would ask, do we see these lengthened shadows which follow in the course of our political history?
19831Why, then, have you agitators?
19831Why, then, shall we talk about natural rights?
19831Why, then, should we be bound to receive such petitions to the detriment of the public business; or, rather, why are they presented?
19831Why, then,_ as property_, insist on holding it by an armed garrison?
19831Will Mr. Lincoln disregard the international writ of_ habeas corpus_ served by Great Britain?
19831Will any one ask me, then, how a State is to be held to the fulfillment of its obligations?
19831Will any one suppose that Congress then meant by non- intervention that Congress should legislate in no regard in respect to property in slaves?
19831Will it not destroy it?
19831Will you now make an appeal to the Supreme Being, and call on Him to guarantee your observance of this_ compact_?
19831Will you sit with sublime indifference and allow events to shape themselves?
19831With all due allowance for their zeal, we ask, how do they decide that it is a sin?
19831Would any gentleman deny this?...
19831Would it not, between foreign nations-- nations not bound together and restrained as we are by compact-- would it not, I say, be just cause for war?
19831Would the admission of the right of a State to resume the grants it had made, have led to the exercise of that right for light and trivial causes?
19831Would this have been to maintain the Union formed by the States?
19831You are practical people, and may ask, How is that contest to be avoided?
19831You know it is so, gentlemen; and yet, have we not a common country?
19831You sent your adjutant-( inspector?)
19831[ 53] Does it call itself a league, a confederacy, a subsisting treaty between the States?
19831[ 96] Again, on a subsequent occasion, speaking of an appeal to force, Mr. Madison said:"Was such a remedy eligible?
19831_ All powers not delegated_, etc., what does it mean?
19831_ Insurrection, An_, was it?
19831_ Power of amendment_, special examination of, 195; what is the Constitution?
19831_ Right of the Federal troops to enter a State_, 411; words of the Constitution, 411; how could they be sent to overrule the will of the people?
19831_ War between the Slates_, who was responsible for?
19831and where are their rights, covenants, and stipulations expressed?
19831but, Is this a town of my brethren?
19831or who ever heard of a compact made by a single party with himself?
19831or, Was Secession a Constitutional Right?"]
22960Am dat so, massa? 22960 Am you Cunnel J----''s man?"
22960And der yer tink dat de rest ob de Souf will jine wid Souf Car''lina, if she go at it fust?
22960And do_ you_ remain on the plantation?
22960And suppose he found a boat here,I suggested,"and made the shore some ways down?"
22960And what are you thinking about?
22960And what does it cost you to support each hand?
22960And what have_ you_ to say about South Carolina? 22960 And who in h-- ll ar you?"
22960Any one hurt?
22960Are all the people dead?
22960Are there many of these poor whites around Georgetown?
22960Are you mad?
22960Because he was brutal to Sam, should you be brutal to him? 22960 But I had supposed the black was better fitted by nature for hard labor, in a hot climate, than the white?"
22960But are not Captain B---''s negroes contented?
22960But have your other aged slaves the same comforts that Aunt Lucy has?
22960But how can a man live there-- how get food?
22960But how did you expect to get on? 22960 But how_ could_ you hear?
22960But if bound for the Station, why should he wade through the creek here, ten miles out of his way? 22960 But is not the larger portion of the turpentine crop consumed at the North?"
22960But where will you and your daughters sleep? 22960 But who does your work?
22960But why are you for the Union, when your neighbors go the other way?
22960But would n''t you?
22960But, my good friend, where would the British navy be all this while?
22960But,I inquired,"_ have_ you two millions without counting your blacks; and are_ they_ not as likely to fight on the wrong as on the right side?"
22960By tale?
22960Can that be true? 22960 Can you swim, massa?"
22960Careful of what?
22960Dead? 22960 Dead?"
22960Der ye tink Massa Davy wud broke his word, sar?
22960Der yer tink, den, massa, dat dey''ll git to fightin''at Charl''son?
22960Did he dare to do that? 22960 Did n''t he tell the gentleman that you were a particular friend of mine, and had met me by appointment at Captain B----''s?"
22960Did n''t you see, massa, how yaller all dem wimmin war? 22960 Did ye?
22960Did you get no trace of her in the morning?
22960Did you hear what we said?
22960Did you let it down on purpose?
22960Do most of them take to the swamps?
22960Do n''t you know massa, my boy?
22960Do you find that in the Bible, Lazarus?
22960Do you say that, boys;said the Colonel, turning to the other negroes;"shall he have fifty lashes?"
22960Do you think Scip will bring him back?
22960Do you think he is dying, Rosy?
22960Do you think the white could labor as well as the black, on the rice and cotton- fields?
22960Do your seven field hands produce enough''dip''to keep your still a running?
22960Does Sam''s wife''smile''on the overseer now?
22960Does the Colonel teach that to his negroes?
22960Du with''em? 22960 From what part of the South?"
22960Haint I tole you,he continued,"dat in de big city ob New York dar''m more folks dan in all Car''lina?
22960Haint she wanted''mong de nusses, massa?
22960Hallo, Jim,I said;"have you got back?"
22960Have Ablisherners thar, do n''t ye? 22960 Have you always lived with him?"
22960Have you any children?
22960Have you been here long?
22960Have you read any others?
22960Hello, Junius, what in creation are you doing there?
22960How can Scip find him?
22960How could I help it? 22960 How d''ye do, Scip_io?_"said Jim, extending his hand to him.
22960How d''ye do?
22960How dare you disobey me? 22960 How did you catch them?"
22960How did you know that, madam?
22960How do you do? 22960 How far is it to the nearest run?"
22960How is it that you have lived in Georgetown five years, and have not known him?
22960How is the sick boy, Colonel?
22960How many have you, madam?
22960How many negroes has he?
22960How so?
22960How was it? 22960 How would you do it-- by preaching abolition where even the niggers would mob you?
22960I hard you say to massa, dat ef dey goes to war,''twill free all de niggers-- der you raily b''lieve dat, sar?
22960I knows dat, Cunnel, but see dar,replied Jim, holding the paper out to his master,"do n''t dat say he''m dar?
22960I thought the blacks were said to be entirely contented?
22960I thought the negroes were the serfs in your feudal system?
22960I''ll bet on it, Tommy; but he wo nt fool you and me, will he, my boy?
22960If that is so we''d better stay, Scip; do n''t you think so?
22960Is Andy Jones har?
22960Is Jake much hurt?
22960Is he severe with them?
22960Is he? 22960 Is not the support of that class a heavy tax upon you?"
22960Is that so?
22960Is that you, Aunty?
22960Is there any one here to help?
22960Is thet all ye knows?
22960Is this woman your wife?
22960Is your wife a South Carolina women?
22960Is your wife, up there, married again?
22960Is''nt that Moye?
22960Is_ she_ here?
22960Jake,he said,"where are your shoes?"
22960Kill harself''case har man war shot by thet han''som overseer uv your''n?
22960Lor bress me, Massa K----, am dat you?
22960Massa K----,said the latter, getting down and coming to me:"Whar am dey?"
22960Mr. K----, will you stand by and see me handcuffed by a miserable slave?
22960Never mind what_ you_ said,interrupted the Colonel, a little impatiently, but showing no displeasure;"what did_ she_ say?"
22960No it doant-- do it, Aggy?
22960No, nothing, Jim,replied his master;"but, stay-- hadn''t you better sleep in front of Moye''s door?"
22960Not there now? 22960 Now, Barnes,"I said, shaking off the gloomy feelings that had oppressed me:"come, I must see that wife of yours, and get a glimpse of how you live?"
22960Oh, never mind;said the Colonel, who had recovered his coolness;"but why are all these people here?"
22960Only massa and me, and de hoss, and we''m half dead wid de cold,replied Scip;"can we cum in out ob de rain?"
22960P''r''aps you haint heerd on the ab''lsh''ners, Andy?
22960Promised the Colonel before you went?
22960Quar, that; yer an Ablisherner, arnt ye?
22960Quite well, thank you, Miles,said the Colonel, with a certain patronizing air,"have you seen my man, Moye?"
22960Rail- splitter? 22960 Rosin is put to very many uses?"
22960Safe? 22960 Sam?
22960Scip, did you know Jim before?
22960Sha n''t I get well? 22960 Sort o''likely gal, thet, warn''t she?"
22960Sort o''smart, Massa Davy; sort o''smart; how is ye?
22960Suffer from the Yankees? 22960 Suppose the Yankees object to your setting up by yourselves, and put your ports under lock and key?"
22960Tell me, Scipio,I resumed after a while,"how it is you can repeat that passage from Isaiah so well?"
22960Tell me, my little man,I said:"who taught you all these things?"
22960That''s the use of having a tongue, eh?
22960The Colonel, then, has befriended you at some time?
22960The business of nigger- catching, then, is brisk, just now?
22960Then Sam got away again?
22960Then free- schools and general education would destroy slavery?
22960Then how do you get your butter?
22960Then the other negroes know where the runaways are; do n''t they sometimes betray them?
22960Then why are not_ you_ a Union man?
22960Then why do you Carolinians make such an outcry about the violation of the Fugitive Slave Law?
22960Then why do you keep them about you?
22960Then why was he flogged? 22960 Then you have to support this man and his family?"
22960Then you think the blacks would work better if free?
22960Then_ why_ did you do it?
22960These_ are_ unhappy times, truly,said my friend;"has any thing new occurred?"
22960Thet arn''t all-- what''s th''rest?
22960Very well, Ned; how are you?
22960Very well,I replied, returning his grasp with equal warmth,"how are you?"
22960Wal, Cunnul, how dy''ge?
22960Well, I suppose not much; and you tell all you hear to the other negroes?
22960Well, Jim, what is it?
22960Well, Sandy, how is''Lady?''
22960Well, another time you mind what_ I_ say-- do you hear?
22960Well, suppose you do; what then?
22960Well, what then?
22960Well,said the Colonel,"what do you think of our bacon''as it runs?''"
22960Whar_ did_ you cum from? 22960 What Sam is it?"
22960What boys? 22960 What brought you here, you d----d insolent hound?"
22960What d''ye say? 22960 What der_ ye_ knows''bout th''ab''lisheners?
22960What did she say?
22960What do they go agin the South for?
22960What do you suffer from the Yankees?
22960What do you tell them such things for?
22960What does it mean-- that fresh bullet wound, and the marks of a recent whipping?
22960What does the labor of a_ full_ hand yield?
22960What du the''du?
22960What ef he am crazy? 22960 What effect will secession have on your business?"
22960What funeral?
22960What had Sam done?
22960What is it, Jim?
22960What is the story about, Sam?
22960What is the usual proportion of sick and infirm on your plantation?
22960What is your value now?
22960What look, massa? 22960 What proportion of your slaves are able- bodied hands?"
22960What the d-- l is the matter?
22960What will he pay you?
22960What will you do?
22960What words do you mean? 22960 What would you do with them, if they were_ really_ free?"
22960What''s that? 22960 What''s the matter?"
22960What''s yer name?
22960What, both gone and left you ladies here alone?
22960What-- what the d----l is the matter?
22960What_ is_ the whole story?
22960Where are you hauling your turpentine?
22960Where did you catch him?
22960Where do you think Sam is?
22960Where in creation have you been, my dear fellow?
22960Where is Jake?
22960Where is Moye?
22960Where is the swamp?
22960Where''s Andy Jones?
22960Where?
22960Which route do you think he has taken?
22960Which way do you think Moye has gone?
22960Who ar ye?
22960Who made ye?
22960Who told me so?
22960Who told you that?
22960Who''s looking after Sam?
22960Who_ is_ Madam P----?
22960Whose negroes are those, Colonel?
22960Why afraid you''ll runaway? 22960 Why are you discontented?
22960Why better than twenty of_ his_ niggers?
22960Why did Sam run away?
22960Why did he call you Scip_io_? 22960 Why did he?"
22960Why did n''t_ you_, tell him? 22960 Why do n''t they run?
22960Why do n''t you set them at work?
22960Why do n''t you take them yourself?
22960Why good at swimming?
22960Why hung him?
22960Why is that?
22960Why not do that?
22960Why not,he said,"strike at once for the end of his route?
22960Why should you stay here? 22960 Why should_ you_ interfere between them and him?
22960Why so, my dear fellow?
22960Why so, my friend? 22960 Why so?"
22960Why was he whipped?
22960Why wo nt you?
22960Why would he have known your name?
22960Why, are not these people happy? 22960 Why, have you heard any of them speak of him?"
22960Why, how much does he get?
22960Why, then, do you send such men as Seward, Sumner, Wilson, and Grow to Congress? 22960 Why?
22960Will de gemman please ride up to de piazza?
22960Will it not be necessary to agree among yourselves before you do that? 22960 Will not those folks tell what you did, and thus get you into trouble?"
22960Will the Yankees_ fight_, sir?
22960Will you let us come in out of de rain?
22960Wo nt you ax Massa K---- to a cheer?
22960Wo nt you get into de carriage, massa?
22960Would n''t it be better to make them go to hear the old preacher; could n''t they learn something from him?
22960Would your mistress take a thousand for you?
22960Yas, yas, massa,replied the negro, springing nimbly forward, and taking the horses by the bridles,"an''rub''em down, massa?"
22960Yas, you fools, did n''t I tell you dat?
22960Ye do n''t have no niggers thar, does ye?
22960Ye like brandy, do n''t ye?
22960Yes; just the same enjoyment that aunty''s pigs are having; do n''t you hear_ them_ singing to the music? 22960 You are very good, sir,"I replied:"how did you hear of it?"
22960You could n''t have learned_ that_ yourself; did n''t your''massa''teach you?
22960You d----d nigger, do you dare to speak so to me?
22960You do n''t mean to say that cows are generally worked here?
22960You grew them?
22960You know what_ they_ are, Jim, do n''t you?
22960You say a man works better for being free; then you must think''twould be well to free the negroes?
22960You tole Scipio dat, sar, and what did_ he_ tell you?
22960You wo nt tell dat_ I_ tole you, massa?
22960_ All_ the children? 22960 _ We_, you say; you mean by that, the hundred and eighty thousand nabobs who own five- sixths of your slaves?
22960_ What_ time is coming, Scipio?
22960_ You_ heard me say that; how did you hear it?
22960''Taint so large as Charles''n, is''t?"
229602?"
22960A great ole feller thet, warn''t he?
22960After safely"walking the plank,"and making our way to the opposite bank, I resumed it by asking:"Why are the Colonel''s negroes so particularly bad?"
22960An''whot der ye''spoze she sed?
22960And what could our little State do in a conflict with nearly thirty millions?"
22960Are not their laborers overworked?
22960Are there not abuses in society at the North?
22960Are you sure?"
22960As I approached him he extended his hand with a pleasant"How are ye, stranger?"
22960As I was lighting it, he said:"Ye''ve got a good''oman, hev ye?"
22960As we rode along I said to the driver,"Scip, what did you think of our lodgings?"
22960At what time does the next train go up?"
22960Build a free- school at every cross- road, and teach the poor whites, and what would become of slavery?
22960But Sukey, whar''s th''young''uns?"
22960But are you sure the slut will die?"
22960But how shall I describe the pale, sweet beauty of the face of the drowned girl, as she lay there, her eyes closed, and her lips parted, as in prayer?
22960But in this are we worse than they?
22960But what am my life wuth?
22960But what have you heard?"
22960But_ why_ do you go for freeing the niggers?"
22960By the way,"continued my host, in a jocose way,"what did you think of the preaching?"
22960By- the- way,"he added,"did you not meet with some little obstruction at Conwayboro'', on your way up?"
22960By--, sir, ye ai nt an ab''lishener, is ye?"
22960Can Jim help you?"
22960Can Mr. Caleb Cushing or Charles O''Conor tell us why the Almighty invented a system which forces his creatures to break laws of His own making?
22960Can you expect me to tend you when you are sick, if you beat a dying man?
22960Can you get me a cup of tea?"
22960Come, Sandy, will you go in for the pile?"
22960D''ye see thet little nig thar?"
22960Der yer tink we would n''t fight to be free?"
22960Did he come back?"
22960Did n''t I tell you to give him a hundred?"
22960Did n''t de Cunnel come dar in all de storm''pressly to see dis gemman?"
22960Did n''t thar big gun-- Daniel Webster-- didn''t he make mince- meat of South Car''lina Hayne on thet ar''subjec''?
22960Did n''t ye say ye war one on''em?
22960Did the Colonel know it?"
22960Did ye ever see sech a critter?"
22960Did you ever see such a look as that?
22960Did you ever try to?"
22960Do many of your neighbors think as you do?"
22960Do n''t they steal our niggers, and haint they''lected an ab''lishener for President?"
22960Do n''t you tink He''ll gib Sam a house?
22960Do n''t you tink dat ef He lub and pity de bery worse whites, dat He lub and pity pore Sam, who warn''t so bery bad, arter all?
22960Do you know him, sir?"
22960Do you know what she asks?"
22960Do you raise any thing else?"
22960Do you realize what it would bring upon us?
22960Do you require to be bowed up to heaven?"
22960Do you think the darkies would fight for their freedom?"
22960Does Pompey say you should do such things?"
22960Does the North believe it?
22960Dress nice, and make money?"
22960Every individual arose from the table, and the Colonel, striding up and down the apartment, exclaimed:"Is he mad?
22960Had n''t ye better show the gentleman some of your''n,''fore you go?"
22960Haint you_ seed_ Massa Tommy, sar?"
22960Has he not insulted you enough to make you let him alone?
22960Has he really given you pledges?"
22960Have you got them safe?"
22960Have you not been struck with the contentment and cheerful subjection of the slaves?"
22960He puts the sperit inter''i m: doan''t we see it in hosses an''critters an''sech like?
22960How can the North and the South hold together when moderate men like you and me are so far apart?"
22960How do you manage them without whipping?"
22960How does all the folks live thar?"
22960How does the man live?"
22960How far is his house from here?"
22960How is little June?"
22960I asked, thinking he had conscientious scruples about running away;"would n''t you if you could buy yourself, and go honestly, as a_ free_ man?"
22960I exclaimed,"and where is the village?"
22960I knows de Lord am bery good to take''i m''way; but why did he take de young chile, and leab de ole man har?"
22960I looked at my watch, and found it was nearly ten o''clock, and, feeling very tired, said to the hostess:"Where do you mean we shall sleep?"
22960I noticed his clothing though bearing evident marks of a drenching, was then dry, and I inquired:"How did you dry your clothes?"
22960I said;"what do you mean by that?"
22960I said;"who tells you that?"
22960If she were at the North she would take to pantaloons, and''stump''the entire free States; would n''t you, Alice?"
22960If the poor whites realized that slavery kept them poor, would they not vote it down?
22960If the wives and daughters of blacks are debauched here, are not the wives and daughters of whites debauched there?
22960If these people were on a par with the farmers of New England, would it last for an hour?
22960If we came to blows, would they try to excite servile insurrection among us?"
22960If we pore sinners feel sorrer for him, haint de Lord''s heart bigger''n our''n, and haint he more sorrer for him?
22960In the midst of it, the Colonel said to me, in an exultant tone:"Well, my friend, what do you think of slavery_ now_?"
22960Is not this perfect enjoyment?"
22960Is your husband away from home?"
22960Jim, how dy''ge?"
22960K----?"
22960K----?"
22960Kinder reckon tain''t, is''t?"
22960Laughing at the reasoning of the negro, I asked:"How would_ you_ like it, if your wife over at Colonel J----''s, had as many husbands as_ she_ liked?"
22960Like to turn in now?"
22960Look at him,"he continued, as the negro approached;"were flesh and bones ever better put together?"
22960Mi''tey sqeemish thet, warn''t it?
22960Observing it, my host said:"Aggy-- showin''yer colors?
22960Observing the fall in his crockery, and the general confusion of things, my host quietly asked,"What''s to pay?"
22960On the route I resumed the conversation:"So, uncle, you say the people here are getting ready for a black burying?"
22960P''r''aps''''twont be one ob de fine hous''n, but wo nt it be a comfible house, dat hain''t no cracks, and one dat''ll keep out de wind and de rain?
22960Putting out of view his actual loss of produce, how does the turpentine farmer feed and employ his negroes?
22960Quite a place, arnt it?"
22960Replying to the question, he said:"Kinder reckon I wull, Cunnel; howsomdever, I keeps the stakes, ony how?"
22960Seeing this, she remarked:"Yer from th''North, sir; arn''t ye?"
22960Ses I:''ye mean th''''ooman''s got ter gwo ter th''hi''est bider?''
22960Sha n''t we trail him thar?"
22960She soon resumed the conversation with this remark:"Reckon yer a stranger in these parts; whar d''ye come from?"
22960Should n''t we be contented?"
22960Suppose they shut up your ports, and leave you with your cotton and turpentine unsold?
22960Tell me, Colonel, what we will gain?"
22960The Colonel, too, was deep in the newspapers, till, after a while, Jim entered the room:"I''se cum to ax ef you''ve nuffin more to- night, Cunnel?"
22960The black meekly seated himself, when the Colonel asked:"Well, Pomp, what do you know about Jule''s going off?"
22960The door of the mansion was bolted and barred; but, rapping for admission, I soon heard the Colonel''s voice asking,"Who is there?"
22960The truth flashed upon me; but could it be possible?
22960Then he added, after a moment''s pause,"Will you help me to get them into the wagon?"
22960Then, after a pause, she added--"What d''ye''lect that darky, Linkum, President for?"
22960Tiring at last of my own thoughts, I said to him:"Scip, what is the matter with you?
22960Was I in South Carolina or in Utah?
22960Was not the system which had so seared and hardened that man''s heart, begotten in the lowest hell?
22960Was this his recollection of the reading heard in the morning?
22960What am any_ slave''s_ life wuth?
22960What do you mean by facing the music?"
22960What do you pay for your corn, your pork, and your hay, for instance?"
22960What do you say, Scip?"
22960What do you think about it, Pompey?"
22960What does she owe to_ you_?"
22960What does your hay cost?"
22960What hab we, sar?
22960What if it works abuses?
22960What if the black, at times, is overburdened, and his wife and daughters debauched?
22960What pore darky am dar dat wudn''t hab sich a massa?
22960What shall I do about Moye?"
22960What shall we do with him?"
22960What shall we do?"
22960What white man kin be more''n dat?
22960What will you do that for?"
22960What''s up with him?"
22960What,"addressing me,"have you seen or heard, sir, that gives you that opinion?"
22960When we were seated, I said to Scip,"What induced you to lay hands on the Colonel?
22960Where are we?"
22960Where did you get it?"
22960Where has he gone?"
22960Where were you?"
22960While seated at the table the Colonel asked:"Has every thing gone right, Alice, since we left home?"
22960While sin here hides itself under cover of the night, does it not there stalk abroad at noon- day?
22960Who fill our brothels?
22960Who is here?"
22960Who load our penitentiaries, crowd our whipping- posts, debauch our slaves, and cheat and defraud us all?
22960Who that reflects that this country has been governed for fifty years by such scum, would give a d---- for republican institutions?"
22960Who told you so?"
22960Who would n''t belong to sich a Massa as dat?
22960Whot''s de use ob habin''ears, ef you do n''t har?"
22960Why did n''t you go then?"
22960Why follow the slow steps he took in order to throw us off the track?
22960Why have n''t you been to me?"
22960Why have you elected a President who approves of nigger- stealing?
22960Why in h-- has he come back?"
22960Why is he so hard with her?
22960Why not go straight on by the road?"
22960Why, are they fleet of foot?"
22960Will ye send fur''em?
22960Will you accompany me, Mr. K----?
22960With all these rowdies here, it will not do to leave the horses alone-- will you stay and keep an eye on them over to- morrow?"
22960Would Shakspeare, had he have known it, have written of taking one''s_ ease_ at his inn?
22960Would they not see that it stands in the way of their advancement, and vote it out of existence as a nuisance?"
22960Yas, my friends, glory be to Him, dat''s what our Heabenly massa say, and who ob you would n''t hab sich a massa as dat?
22960Ye know the Cunnel, du ye?"
22960Ye never seed one-- what d''ye''spose the''luk like?"
22960Ye''r Union gal-- hey?"
22960You do n''t talk to your neighbors in this way?"
22960You have no wife nor child; why not go where the black man is respected and useful?"
22960You raise scarcely any thing else-- what would you eat?"
22960You''ll forgive me for being so cruel to you, wo nt you?"
22960_ Jake_ does not say that-- your master leaves it to him, and_ he_ will not whip a dying man-- will you, Jake?"
22960_ You_ certainly ca n''t do it?"
22960am dat so?"
22960and pressed as these blacks inevitably are by both hunger and idleness, those prolific breeders of sedition, what will keep them quiet?
22960and why do you tolerate such incendiaries as Greeley, Garrison, and Phillips?"
22960and will not a Yankee barter away the chastity of his own mother for a dirty dollar?
22960are they dead?"
22960but who taught you to read?"
22960do you talk politics with your negroes?"
22960eagerly inquired a dozen of the darkies;"and am dar great many folks at de Norf-- more dan dar am down har?"
22960eh, my good fellow?"
22960exclaimed my host;"gone where?"
22960exclaimed the Colonel, perceptibly moderating his tone--"which ones?"
22960for are they not written in the book of His remembrance-- and when he counteth up his jewels, may not some of them be there?
22960have you two wives?"
22960is your son, is he?"
22960my dear fellow,"said the Colonel, on perceiving me,"are you stirring so early?
22960or had he previously committed it to memory?
22960said the Colonel;"what about Sam?"
22960stammered the sleeper, gradually opening his eyes, and raising himself on one elbow,"Lord bless you, Cunnel, is that you?
22960them people that go agin the South?"
22960then turning to our host, said:"Captain, it is late: had we not better retire?"
22960whar''s that?"
22960what in---- brought_ you_ har?"
22960what influence could this North County scum have against_ me_?"
22960what makes you so gloomy?"
22960what''s that?"
22960why so?"
27811A word before you leave; will you be a candidate for the legislature?
27811About what time may I expect you?
27811About what, Harvey?
27811About what, Mrs. Davis? 27811 After all, then, you do care for him-- despite your life- long reserve and apparent indifference?
27811And now, sir, what can I make or have made for you which will conduce to your comfort?
27811And the reason why you did not sleep? 27811 And what have you elsewhere, Irene?"
27811And what the deuce do you suppose I want with an office lad like yourself? 27811 And what was the value of that lot I asked for?"
27811And when, after years of toil, you win fame, even fame enough to satisfy your large expectations, what then? 27811 And you love her for your mother''s sake, I suppose?
27811And you really missed me, Queen?
27811Anything else?
27811Are you entirely alone?
27811Are you in earnest this time?
27811Are you ready to go now?
27811Are you ready to return home? 27811 Are you too proud to accept a home from me?"
27811Are you well? 27811 Are you, then, so very anxious to go to Virginia?"
27811Are your other despatches sealed up pictorially?
27811As Russell''s wife?
27811At least you will let me hear from you sometimes? 27811 But do you still cling to a belief in the possibility of Republican forms of Government?
27811Ca n''t you prove your innocence? 27811 Ca n''t you stay longer and talk to me?"
27811Ca n''t you take us, Wright-- Miss Grey, Willis, and myself? 27811 Can I assist you, Miss Huntingdon?"
27811Can I do anything for you, uncle?
27811Captain Wright?
27811Colonel Aubrey? 27811 Cyrus, is the doctor in his office?"
27811Did father go, too?
27811Did he ask to see me?
27811Did you receive a letter which I sent to your room?
27811Did you receive my last letter, giving an account of Mrs. Clifton''s death?
27811Did you see Colonel Aubrey after he was wounded?
27811Did you specify any branch of the service?
27811Do n''t you feel as well as usual this evening, Uncle Eric?
27811Do n''t you think, Irene, that Aubrey deserves to succeed?
27811Do you intend to send me from you? 27811 Do you know anything of your servant?
27811Do you know that I am dying?
27811Do you regard this trial as particularly hazardous?
27811Do you suppose that gravity of face is incompatible with sunshine in the heart?
27811Do you suppose they can distinguish me?
27811Do you think so, really? 27811 Do you think that they will not see you?"
27811Do you want the money now?
27811Doctor, are you busy this morning?
27811Doctor, how is Electra?
27811Doctor, when will you start?
27811Doctor, where is your horse? 27811 Does your majesty suppose I shall be satisfied with the tip of your fingers?
27811Dr. Arnold, do n''t you think you could spare that small sum without much inconvenience?
27811Electra, did you see Harvey last night?
27811Electra, who told you that you burdened me?
27811Electra, will you come?
27811Father, has Mrs. Aubrey ever injured you?
27811Father, have you forgiven me?
27811For what?
27811Frightened-- Dr. Arnold? 27811 Good morning, Mr. Campbell; are you particularly engaged?"
27811Has any intelligence been received this morning?
27811Has she recovered entirely?
27811Have I been so ill as to require that? 27811 Have you any engagement for this morning?"
27811Have you any old linen left about the house that could be useful among the wounded?
27811Have you been to Mr. Clifton''s studio?
27811Have you consulted Dr. Arnold about them?
27811Have you no brother?
27811Have you sent for the doctor?
27811Have you talked to Mr. Campbell about it?
27811Have you, then, fully resolved to remain single?
27811He has not come home yet; I wonder what keeps him? 27811 How are you, Uncle Eric?
27811How can you identify it, Aubrey?
27811How can you trifle with me, Irene? 27811 How do you know it ca n''t be helped?
27811How do you know that so well? 27811 How does he appear to be, Miss Irene?
27811How is Miss Huntingdon?
27811How is she to- night? 27811 How long have I slept?"
27811How long will you be in New York?
27811How many months do you suppose it will require to complete it?
27811How many orphans are there in the Asylum?
27811How much longer will you sit up?
27811How much would it cost to take her to New Orleans and have that celebrated oculist examine them?
27811How, Irene? 27811 Hugh, why will you affect to misconceive my meaning?
27811Huntingdon, what is it? 27811 I believe you thought me cold, heartless, and unfeeling then?"
27811I brought you some jelly; would you like a little now, or shall I put it away in the closet?
27811I hope not, Leonard; ca n''t you turn a little, and let me feel for the ball?
27811I say I shall join him very soon; do n''t you believe it? 27811 I should like to know who gave you leave to ride yesterday?"
27811I suppose you have heard of the performance for to- morrow?
27811If I retract all that I have said against you, and avow your innocence, will it satisfy you? 27811 If it is necessary, I will swear that it belongs lawfully to you; but what do you want to sell it for?
27811In the name of wonder, who is that? 27811 Irene, answer me one question, dear child: what does the future contain for you?
27811Irene, are we to walk different paths henceforth-- utter strangers? 27811 Irene, are you deranged?
27811Irene, are you ready to go home?
27811Irene, how long do you intend to keep me in painful suspense?
27811Irene, shall I take you home in my buggy?
27811Irene, what do you want? 27811 Irene, what does this mean?
27811Irene, will my presence here aid or comfort you? 27811 Irene-- Irene, take this for me, wo n''t you, dear?"
27811Is it light yet, out of doors? 27811 Is it true that her illness is attributable to nursing those people?"
27811Is she here? 27811 Is that all?"
27811Is the case so utterly hopeless? 27811 Is there any message which you would like for me to deliver to her, if she should recover consciousness?
27811Is there no hope?
27811It is bitter weather out; did you brave it for these? 27811 It would be dangerous to go to New Orleans now, I suppose?"
27811Louisa, how came your brother to be a minister?
27811May I ask if you are ill?
27811Mr. Clifton has a spare room, Russell; why ca n''t you stay with us while you are in New York?
27811Mr. Clifton, what shall I do without you?
27811Mr. Clifton, would you like to have your mother brought downstairs and placed beside you for a while?
27811Mrs. Davis, do n''t you feel that you will soon be at rest with God?
27811My dear Irene, have you, then, no love for me? 27811 My friend?
27811No; who is he?
27811Not even to restore your mother''s sight?
27811Now, sir, what shall I read this evening?
27811Oh, do n''t you, indeed? 27811 Philip, do you know me?"
27811Philip, what are you doing here?
27811Pity you? 27811 Pray, what is wrong about me now?
27811Russell, do you know it is midnight?
27811Russell, has anything happened?
27811Russell, what brings you home so early?
27811Russell, what is the matter? 27811 Russell, you have brought him home; where is he?"
27811Russell,''shall not the righteous Judge of all the earth do right?''
27811Russell? 27811 Shall I get you a pair of slippers?"
27811Shall I go back to the office?
27811Shall I read to you? 27811 Shall I speak to your aunt about this matter before I go?"
27811Shall the rich and the unprincipled eternally trample upon the poor and the unfortunate?
27811Shut their eyes to what?
27811Sir?
27811Sit down, Miss Irene; how are you to- day?
27811So you prefer utter strangers to your relatives and friends?
27811Suppose you had never seen me?
27811Thank you, Philip; how did he behave?
27811Then you admit that you have been harmed?
27811Then you are going to Mobile?
27811There is, of course, no light there, these war- times; but you see that tall, white tower, do n''t you? 27811 Was Russell wounded?
27811Was anything done?
27811Was it that horse; or how was it?
27811Was your father''s name Robert? 27811 Well, Queen, what is it?"
27811Well-- what is it? 27811 What are Mr. Young''s views concerning this war?"
27811What business have you here?
27811What did I tell you? 27811 What did they cost?"
27811What do those large square boxes in the hall contain?
27811What do you know of the family?
27811What do you mean by that?
27811What do you mean? 27811 What do you mean?"
27811What do you mean?
27811What do you want?
27811What do you want?
27811What has so changed that child? 27811 What have you done to him, Miss Huntingdon?"
27811What have you done with Aubrey? 27811 What is Miss Huntingdon to you?"
27811What is that for? 27811 What is the amount of that grocery bill you would not let me see last week?"
27811What is the matter, Irene? 27811 What is the matter, Wright?"
27811What is the tuition for her?
27811What is this worth?
27811What is troubling you so?
27811What is what? 27811 What letter?
27811What motive do you suppose prompted me to send for you on the eve of your departure?
27811What object have you in starting to- night, particularly in the face of a gale?
27811What progress are you making, Electra?
27811What put such a ridiculous thought into your head? 27811 What use do you suppose he had for it?"
27811What was the matter?
27811What will you do, Russell?
27811What would you do with it, Queen?
27811When did you arrive here last?
27811When do you expect to leave here?
27811When will you leave W----?
27811Where are you going, Aubrey?
27811Where are you going, Miss Huntingdon? 27811 Where are you going, Russell?
27811Where did you go last night when you left here? 27811 Where do you live?
27811Where have you been this long time, Harvey? 27811 Where is brother?"
27811Where?
27811Who gave you permission to visit that house?
27811Who has injured you?
27811Who is it, Electra?
27811Who told you that?
27811Why did you inflict so much pain on us both, when a word would have explained all? 27811 Why did you not apply to some other physician?"
27811Why do n''t you go to sleep, Irene?
27811Why do you shrink from me, my pupil?
27811Why do you want to know that?
27811Why need you hurry off? 27811 Why not, father?
27811Why so?
27811Why so?
27811Why, child? 27811 Why?"
27811Why?
27811Will not pure white content you, father?
27811Will you have it taken to- morrow?
27811Will you promise me positively that you will not go to your aunt?
27811Wo n''t you let me carry you to your room, or call a servant? 27811 Wo n''t you shut your eyes, my darling, and try to sleep?"
27811Would you like to have Mr. Bailey come and pray for you?
27811Wright, to what part are you bound?
27811Yes; but where is the miniature? 27811 Yes; but why do you ask?"
27811You believe that you will be happier among the marble and canvas of Italy than in W---- with me?
27811You certainly do n''t mean to say that she has inherited----?
27811You did not tell them the circumstances, did you?
27811You do n''t think she is any worse, do you?
27811You had started, then, before you knew that I was going to Europe?
27811You have finished your book, I see; do n''t you want another? 27811 You know it all then?"
27811You sent me no note all this time; why not?
27811You think my aunt is worse?
27811You will not allow me to persuade you? 27811 You would like a brother, however?"
27811Your uncle objects very strenuously to such a plan, does he not?
27811Accept the home which Mrs. Young would offer her, and leave him to suffer briefly, to sink swiftly into the tomb?
27811After relying on yourself so long, why yield to mistrust now?
27811An intolerable weight crushed her heart, a half- defined, horrible dread, and she asked, falteringly--"Are you willing to die?
27811And how is it that you wear a Confederate uniform?"
27811And now, how are you?"
27811And what is that whole confounded crew of factory savages in comparison with her precious life?"
27811Andrew, tell me the truth-- is father dead?"
27811Are n''t you afraid that I will work you more unmercifully than a Yankee factory- child, or a Cornwall miner?
27811Are you afraid to stay with me, and see me die?"
27811Are you classical, John?
27811Are you entirely out of wood?"
27811Are you getting frightened, Miss Grey?"
27811Are you going entirely deranged?
27811Are you going to leave home?"
27811Are you going to ride?
27811Are you ready?"
27811Are you satisfied with your wages, my honoured Shylock?
27811Are you sure no letters came for me?"
27811Arnold?"
27811As lint, or bandages?"
27811Aubrey is from W----; you know him, of course?"
27811Aubrey, can you help me raise him a little?"
27811Aubrey, suppose I shut my eyes to the watch transaction, and take you into my office?"
27811Aubrey?"
27811Be reasonable, and now tell me how you have employed yourself since we parted; what have you seen?
27811Because we can not be more, shall we be less than friends?"
27811Beside, who loved her as well as Henry Clifton?
27811Besides, what is it to you whether he marries her or not?"
27811But suppose they should seize your trunk?
27811But where have you been all this time?
27811But, Electra, you wo n''t leave me; surely you wo n''t leave me?"
27811By the way what shall I do with you?
27811By the way, Doctor, is there anything I can do for you in the sewing line?
27811CHAPTER XX A CANDIDATE FOR THE LEGISLATURE"Do n''t you know that even granite millstones finally grind themselves into impalpable powder?
27811CHAPTER XXIV IRENE''S ILLNESS"Do you see any change, Hiram?"
27811CHAPTER XXV RECONCILED"Well, Irene, what is your decision about the party at Mrs. Churchill''s to- night?"
27811CHAPTER XXXII WOMANLY USEFULNESS"Did you ring, Mas''Eric?"
27811Ca n''t you spend the evening with me at Aunt Ruth''s?"
27811Campbell?"
27811Can I see her?"
27811Can you bear to hear something unpleasant?
27811Can you control yourself if I take you to him?"
27811Can you give me what I ask?"
27811Child, have you been sick?"
27811Child, who are you?
27811Conscious of your affection for Aubrey, did he doom you to your lonely lot?"
27811Could you endure a wife who accepted your hand from gratitude and pity?
27811Could you sit up, if I placed you on my horse?"
27811Davis?"
27811Dear child, what moves you so?"
27811Did n''t I tell you to keep away from those people?
27811Did she suspect the truth, and fear that he might presume on her charity in bygone years?
27811Did you believe that I would marry Salome?"
27811Did you ever know a leopardess kept in a paddock, and taught to forget her native jungles?"
27811Did you ever see a contented- looking eagle in a gilt cage?
27811Did you notice her face?"
27811Did you suppose that I intended leaving you here for another month?"
27811Do I dream, or are you indeed with me?"
27811Do n''t I see how auntie labours day after day, and month after month?
27811Do n''t you know, you old cynic, that women ca n''t stand such flattery as yours?"
27811Do n''t you suppose that I would be in the army if I could not serve my country better by carrying in arms and ammunition?
27811Do those gloves suit you?"
27811Do you approve the plan?"
27811Do you hear what I say?
27811Do you hear?"
27811Do you know him, Huntingdon?"
27811Do you know that he has taken him into partnership?"
27811Do you suppose I intend to put up with your obstinacy all my life, and let you walk roughshod over me and my commands?
27811Do you suppose that he will be willing to leave town?"
27811Do you think you could hold my horse for me a little while?
27811Do you want to throw yourself into the jaws of death?"
27811Do you wonder at it in the present state of the country?"
27811Do you wonder that I am growing desperate?
27811Do you wonder that I hate that portrait?
27811Do you wonder that, like a lonely child, I stretch, out my arms toward it?
27811Does my walking annoy you?"
27811Does not affect parties, I believe?"
27811Electra Grey; and so like Robert?
27811Electra is in the next room; will you go in and speak to her?"
27811Electra, were I your brother, you would require no persuasion; why hesitate now?"
27811Father, do you think that a woman has no voice in a matter involving her happiness for life?"
27811Father, if I love them why should not I associate with them?"
27811Father, wo n''t you give me the money?"
27811For myself I care not, but for you, Russell-- my pride, my only hope, my brave boy?
27811Give it to me?"
27811Had Salome finally won her place in his heart?
27811Had he, indeed, ceased to love her?
27811Has Irene come home?"
27811Has she no husband to take care of her?"
27811Have n''t you heard of him?
27811Have you a vessel here, captain?"
27811Have you any fear of Eternity?"
27811Have you any message?
27811Have you any particular spite at my door, that you belabour it in that style?
27811Have you been out in the snow?"
27811Have you heard anything from Harvey since the troubles began?"
27811Have you kept your promise, to live so that you could at last meet the eyes of your God in peace?"
27811Have you seen him?"
27811Have you sent for John or old Nellie to carry me upstairs, like other bad boys sent to bed in disgrace without even the cold comfort of supper?"
27811He caught the fever from his mother, and his father says wo n''t you please come over?"
27811He crushed back the words; could he crush the apprehension, too?
27811He drew her back to the seat, and after a short silence said slowly--"Electra, are you afraid of death?"
27811He drew near and touched her cheek with his lips, saying tenderly--"How is my mother?"
27811He examined it a moment, and said rather dryly--"Well, how do I know, in the first place, that it belongs to you?
27811He is perfectly fascinating; do n''t you think so, Grace?
27811He saw only a form darkening the doorway, and, without looking up, called out gruffly--"Well, what is it?
27811He seems in trouble; but you do n''t feel like being bothered to- day, do you?"
27811He smiled, and added--"Will you promise to call no one?
27811He took the cigar from his lips, shook off the ashes, and asked indifferently--"What is the woman''s name?
27811He took the cold little hands tremblingly in his, and endeavoured to draw her back to the hearth, but she repeated--"What has happened?
27811Her fingers closed tightly over his; he saw an ashen hue settle on her face, and in an unnaturally calm low tone, she asked--"Is Hugh dead?
27811Here is a card containing her address; will you spare me the time to bring her here to- day?
27811His health had improved, and the heat of summer had come; why did he linger?
27811His mother watched him, and said cautiously--"Have you noticed that my eyes are rapidly growing worse?"
27811How are you to- day?"
27811How are you?
27811How could she endure them in future, yet how reject without wounding him?
27811How did he look?"
27811How do you feel since your nap?"
27811How have you and Louisa spent it?"
27811How is Electra?"
27811How is Harry?"
27811How is he, sir?"
27811How is the boy?
27811How much shall I give?"
27811How shall I tell him that Hugh is dead-- dead?"
27811How should she meet it-- how should she evade him?
27811How will you relish getting up before day, kindling your own fire, if you have any, making your own bed, and living on bread and water?
27811Hugh, what will you do with yourself?
27811I am going to send you to a boarding- school, do you hear that?
27811I can baffle even the Paris detective, much more the lynx- eyed emissaries of Lincoln, Seward& Co. Are you satisfied?
27811I can manage him well enough; and, beside, what do you care whether he breaks my neck or not?
27811I see you have not finished your book yet; how do you like it?"
27811I thought you disliked coffee?"
27811I thought you were coming to school again as soon as you were strong enough?"
27811I want to know what ails her?"
27811I will tell him, and, by way of crushing his vanity, add''_ de gustibus, etc., etc., etc._''""How old is he?"
27811I wonder whether it ever occurs to him that he once stood behind Jacob Watson''s counter?"
27811If I am content with my lot, who else has the right to question?"
27811If I feel this so keenly now, how shall I bear it when the glow of life fades into sober twilight shadows, and age creeps upon me?"
27811In a rickety schooner, in the teeth of a gale?
27811In what form do you want it?
27811Indeed I----""Mrs. Aubrey, do n''t you think it is your duty to recover your sight if possible?"
27811Irene made no reply, and, watching her all the while, Electra asked--"When did you see him last?
27811Irene, dearest, be generous, and tell me when will you give me, irrevocably, this hand which has been promised to me from your infancy?"
27811Irene, how do you feel, child?"
27811Irene, look up-- tell me-- did Leonard know this?
27811Irene, will you share my future?
27811Irene, your father hated her, and of course you know it; but do you know why?"
27811Is he in the city?
27811Is it father, or Hugh?"
27811Is poverty disgrace?"
27811Is such your will?"
27811Is that all?"
27811Is your mother at home?"
27811Is your soul at peace with God?
27811Knowing him as well as you do, can you suppose that I would ever have allowed him to suspect the truth?
27811Le Roy, asking him to call and see you this evening?"
27811Look here-- are you nervous?
27811Louisa is not sick, I hope?"
27811Maybe he can take us?"
27811My children-- what will become of them?
27811My friend, my master, will you accept it and forgive the pain and sorrow I have caused you?"
27811Now are you answered?"
27811Now, then, what is to pay?
27811Obviously, we have a better claim upon you than anybody else; why doom yourself to the loneliness of a separate household?
27811Of course you will go, sir?"
27811Once more I ask you, what shall I do with my life?"
27811Once more, for humanity''s sake, I ask, can you ride my horse to the rear, if I assist you to mount?"
27811Or, how would you like a game of chess?"
27811Pardon me if I ask, how you propose to conceal the despatches?
27811Presently Russell said--"But how did you happen there, Electra?"
27811Red and white and blue, certainly; but was it the ensign of Despotism or of Liberty?
27811Remember Irene; who is nearer to you, she or your grandfather?
27811Resting her chin in her hands she raised her eyes, and said--"Why do you not follow the doctor''s advice?
27811Rising, he looked carefully at the brilliant hues, and said, as he bent to inhale their fragrance--"Where did you grow such flowers at this season?"
27811Russell stood near the window, and said gently, pitying her suffering--"Electra, wo n''t you say good- bye?"
27811See here, Queen; what do you suppose brought Electra to Richmond?"
27811She held out her hand carelessly; he took it eagerly, and holding it up to the light said, in a disappointed tone--"Irene, where is my ring?
27811She saw the dim outline of a form sitting on the step, in the shadow of clustering vines, and asked--"Is that you, Philip?
27811She took the whey silently, and, after some moments, said--"Doctor, have you been sitting by me a long time?"
27811She turned her brown, sightless eyes toward the door, and asked in a low voice--"Who is it?"
27811Sir, are you so particular about everything you buy?"
27811Startled by his unexpected appearance, she recoiled a step or two and asked, rather haughtily--"When did you get home?"
27811Such was the legacy of shame which Russell inherited; was it any marvel that at sixteen that boy had lived ages of sorrow?
27811The captain was passing, but paused, saying in a whisper--"Is that you, Miss Grey?
27811The invalid frowned, and asked impatiently--"Ca n''t you buy as many of those coarse things as you want, without toiling night and day?"
27811The wounded man scowled as he recognized the voice and face, and turned his head partially away, muttering--"What brought you here?"
27811There, will that do?"
27811These travelled no royal road to immortality, but rugged, thorny paths; and who shall stay my feet?
27811Through what sort of metamorphosis do you suppose that I have passed, that every spark of self- respect has been crushed out of me?"
27811To meet me henceforth as a stranger?"
27811To what do you allude?"
27811Was Russell here last night?"
27811Was it Grouchy or Blucher?
27811Was it a spent ball?"
27811Was it money?"
27811What are you going to do with it?"
27811What business have you with asylums, I should like to know?
27811What can I do for you?"
27811What can I do for you?"
27811What do I care for promises?
27811What do you mean by catechising me in this way?
27811What do you mean by setting me at defiance in this way, you wilful, spoiled, hard- headed piece?
27811What do you suppose that it is?"
27811What do you want?"
27811What do you want?"
27811What has knotted up your forehead in that style?"
27811What hope have you?--what do you live for?"
27811What is her name?"
27811What is it that clouds your face, my little sister?"
27811What is it?
27811What is it?"
27811What is it?"
27811What is it?"
27811What is my wretched life worth now?
27811What is the appointment of which you spoke?"
27811What is the matter with Johnnie?"
27811What is the matter with my''plight''as you call it?"
27811What is the matter, Aubrey?
27811What is the matter?
27811What is the matter?
27811What is the reason that you have grown so grey and haggard?
27811What kept you out so late?"
27811What kept you?"
27811What number do you wish?"
27811What rigmarole do you want me to repeat to Leonard?"
27811What shall I do for him?"
27811What shall I do with my future?
27811What shall I have the pleasure of showing you?"
27811What shall I tell her for you?"
27811What the deuce do you want with it?"
27811What time will you come home?
27811When did you hear from Electra?"
27811When did you hear from Leonard?"
27811When do I expect to leave?
27811When the assurance you have given me to- day would have sweetened the past years of trial?"
27811When was he here?"
27811When will you come to see me?
27811Where are you going at this hour?"
27811Where are you going?"
27811Where are your parents?"
27811Where did Robert die?"
27811Where did he come from?"
27811Where did you come from?"
27811Where is Eric?"
27811Where is father?"
27811Where is he?
27811Where now?"
27811Where was he from?"
27811Whither will you look for happiness?"
27811Who belongs to your regiment?"
27811Who shall dare dispute the right your lips have given me?
27811Who will encourage and advise me when you go?"
27811Whom have I in the world but you?
27811Why are you hard and cruelly haughty only to me?"
27811Why are you not wearing it?"
27811Why do you ask?
27811Why not strangle her heart?
27811Why should I be?
27811Why should n''t I go there, sir?
27811Why should n''t I serve my country as well as younger men?
27811Why should you wish to force this marriage on me?
27811Why the d----l could not you let the child have a little peace?
27811Why withhold that melancholy comfort from me?"
27811Will you accede to my wishes, as any dutiful child should, or will you deliberately incur my everlasting displeasure?
27811Will you accompany me?"
27811Will you attend?"
27811Will you be silent about Cecil?"
27811Will you come with me?"
27811Will you give it to me?"
27811Will you go with me?
27811Will you go?"
27811Will you go?"
27811Will you marry Hugh?"
27811Will you not believe me, and calm yourself?"
27811Will you not remain, to oblige me?"
27811Will you please open the door?"
27811Will you promise?"
27811Will you sometimes go to her for my sake, and give her your friendship?"
27811Will you take care of them?
27811Will you watch with me the death of the year?
27811Will you?"
27811Will you?"
27811Wo n''t you try?"
27811Would not Mr. Watson lend you that little?"
27811Would you like to have it bathed in cold water?"
27811Writhing under his impaling eye, Mr. Watson said--"Have you applied to the witnesses referred to?"
27811Yes-- yes; and he is here?
27811You are good and kind, but does that prevent my feeling the truth, that you are working for me too?
27811You are snow- crowned, little one; do you know it?
27811You have seen Campbell, I suppose?
27811You have some influence with him; will you use it in my favour?"
27811You know Paragon, do you know me, Queen?"
27811You wanted to break her obstinacy, did you?
27811You were once dear friends; have you any message for him-- any word of kind remembrance?"
27811You will give me the privilege of writing to you?"
27811You will not need it soon, I hope?"
27811You would not relish going up to heaven after the fashion of a rocket, would you?"
27811are you, too, engaged in watching the fermentation of the political vat?"
27811can I do nothing for you?"
27811can you give me this consolation, without which my future will be dark indeed?
27811did n''t I positively order you to keep away from that Aubrey family?
27811did that idea never occur to you before?"
27811do n''t I know how hard you have to work; and how difficult it is for you to get even bread and clothes?
27811do n''t you hear her paddles?"
27811have you fully determined on this step?"
27811have you no gratitude?"
27811how am I to break this to my father?
27811how can you bring such grief upon me?
27811how did you contrive it, Louis?"
27811if any good is accomplished among those semi- savages up yonder, who is to have the credit?
27811is that what you trudged into town for?"
27811or do you suppose I am as deaf as a gatepost?"
27811surely you are not in earnest?
27811tell me how you are hurt?"
27811what are you about, Irene?"
27811what are you doing here?
27811what do you know about tongues, I should like to be informed?"
27811what have you gleaned?"
27811what is it?
27811what is the matter, child?"
27811what is the matter?
27811what will become of my poor little children when I am gone?
27811where are you hurt?
27811why did you not let me die, too?
27811why do n''t you have a light and some fire?"
27811why do n''t you speak, Russell?"
27811why have you locked that rigid cold face of yours against me?
27811with nobody but the servants?"
27811you are ambitious of martyrdom?
