9776Through the whole length of it:--and if"What is the circumstance which gives them a pleasing effect?"
9776Was you without a habitation? 9776 Why do they attack us by clandestine measures?
9776''Nay, or could you yourself, my Brutus, if the whole assembly was to leave you, as it once did Curio?"
9776--"And what concern need_ that_ give you,"replied Atticus,"if it meets the approbation of Brutus?"
9776--"And what is that?"
9776--"And what then is the merit,"said Brutus,"which you mean to ascribe to these provincial Orators?"
9776--"And what think you,"said I,"of Crassus, the son of that Licinia, who was adopted by Crassus in his will?"
9776--"But does there,"said Brutus,"or will there ever exist a man, who is furnished with all the united accomplishments you require?"
9776--"But is it possible to doubt,"cried Brutus,"whether this was a sensible quality, or a defect?
9776--"But what occasion is there,"said Brutus,"to quote the example of other speakers to support your assertion?
9776--"But why,"answered I,"would you expect that I would give you my opinion of men who are as well known to yourself as to me?"
9776--"Do you mean that Granius,"said Brutus,"of whom Lucilius has related such a number of stories?"
9776--"Do you really think, then,"said Atticus,"that Fannius was the author of that Oration?
9776--"From the sole pleasure of the ear:"--If"What the method of blending and intermingling them?"
9776--"In the different quantity of our syllables:"--If"From whence their_ origin_?"
9776--"In what manner?"
9776--"Mighty well,"said I;"and what think you of him you have heard so often?"
9776--"What do you mean,"said Brutus?
9776--"What do you refer to?"
9776--"What else can I think,"replied he,"but that you will soon have an Orator, who will very nearly resemble yourself?"
9776--"What fashionable delicacy do you mean?"
9776--"_Nobody denies it; and these are the men we imitate._"--"But how?
9776--''And what is that?''
9776--If"_ Where_ is their proper seat?"
9776After the usual salutations,--"Well, gentlemen,"said I,"how go the times?
9776Again, if a man of vivacity takes it into his head to write this way, what self- denial must he undergo, when bright points of wit occur to his fancy?
9776Be it allowed, then, that Lysias, that graceful and most polite of Speakers, was truly Attic: for who can deny it?
9776But after he has thus_ invented_ what is proper to be said, with what accuracy must he_ methodize_ it?
9776But as you are thoroughly acquainted with these, my Brutus, what occasion is there to explain and exemplify them?
9776But if untaught custom has been so ingenious in the formation of agreeable sounds, what may we not expect from the improvements of art and erudition?
9776But is it possible, then, to exert the powers of Eloquence without discovering them?
9776But it will here be enquired, What numbers should have the preference?
9776But shall we call him an Orator?
9776But should the former have begun his whining sing- song, after the manner of the Asiatics, who would have endured it?
9776But were not those, then, true Attic Speakers, we have just been mentioning?"
9776But what can be more delicate than our changing even the natural quantity of our syllables to humour the ear?
9776But what can be more insipid, more frivolous, or more puerile, than that very concinnity of expression which he actually acquired?"
9776But what need have I to say more?
9776But wherefore do I offer such a question, when your elegant letters have informed me, that this is the chief object of your request?
9776But wherefore do I say_ mine_?
9776But which of them does he mean to fix upon?
9776But who, when the use of corn has been discovered, would be so mad as to feed upon acorns?
9776But why do I speak of a collision of vowels?
9776But why must Lysias and Hyperides be so fondly courted, while Cato is entirely overlooked?
9776For what is so remote from severity of manners as gentleness and affability?
9776For what is the age of a single mortal, unless it is connected, by the aid of History, with the times of our ancestors?
9776For who has ever heard of an Argive, a Corinthian, or a Theban Orator at the times we are speaking of?
9776From the same capacity came those riper expressions,--"She was the spouse of her son- in- law, the step- mother of her own offspring?
9776Have we not seen that a whole age could scarcely furnish two Speakers who really excelled in their profession?
9776He goes on,"_ Cur clandestinis consiliis nos oppugnant?
9776How difficult will he find it to reject florid phrases, and pretty embellishments of style?
9776How then shall we strike out a general_ rule_ or_ model_, when there are several manners, and each of them has a certain perfection of its own?
9776I answer,--"To gratify the ear:"--If"_ When_?"
9776I may add, who made a warmer opposition to the rising fame of_ Isocrates_?
9776I own it, and I admire them for it: but why not allow a share of it to Cato?
9776I reply,"At all times:"--If"In what part of a sentence?"
9776If it be farther enquired,"For what purpose they are employed?"
9776If this is the case with them( and I can not think otherwise) will they reject the evidence of their own sensations?
9776In all cases, therefore, we can not be too careful in examining the_ how far_?
9776In this case, what necessity is there to await the sanction of a critic?
9776In what cause, however, can_ prudence_ be idle?
9776Let me further ask you, whether Demetrius Phalereus spoke in the Attic style?
9776Nay, to go no farther, what is become of the ancient poems of our own countrymen?"
9776Nay, when my own writings were in every body''s hands, with what face could I pretend that I had not studied?
9776Not to omit his_ Antiquities_, who will deny that these also are adorned with every flower, and with all the lustre of Eloquence?
9776Or could the Athenians improve their diet, and bodily food, and be incapable of cultivating their language?
9776Or even in the same cause, would you always express yourself in the same strain, and without any variety?
9776Or how alledge another argument in reply, which shall be still more plausible than that of his antagonist?
9776Or is an Orator really thought to be no Orator, because he disclaims the title?
9776Or is it likely that, in a great and noble art, the world will judge it a scandal to_ teach_ what it is the greatest honour to_ learn_?
9776Or is there any sort of causes which your genius would decline?
9776Or shall we content ourselves with the instructions which_ they_ have provided for us?
9776Or who more different from either of them, than Aeschines?
9776Or why should it not be a credit to_ teach_ what it is the highest honour to have_ learned_?
9776Or, lastly, which of the Greek Orators has copied the style of Thucydides?
9776Otherwise, how can he enlarge upon those which are most pertinent, and dwell upon such as more particularly affect his cause?
9776Pecunia superabat?
9776Scaevola?"
9776Shall we pronounce him the rival of Lysias, who was the most finished character of the kind?
9776Terence, therefore, has made use of both, as when he says,_ eho tu cognatum tuum non norâs_?
9776That Brutus, who concealed the most consummate abilities under the appearance of a natural defect of understanding?
9776That Brutus, who so readily discovered the meaning of the Oracle, which promised the supremacy to him who should first salute his mother?
9776To conclude this head; If it should be enquired,"What are the numbers to be used in prose?"
9776Was your pocket well provided?
9776What advantage, then, it will be said, has the skilful critic over the illiterate hearer?
9776What can be more difficult than to decide a number of suits, so as to be equally esteemed and beloved by the parties on both sides?
9776What can be more opposite?
9776What here can you find to censure?
9776What news have you brought?"
9776What, in the name of Heaven, can be intend by_ SPITATICAL?
9776Where that ardour, that eagerness, which extorts the most pathetic language even from men of the dullest capacities?
9776Where was that expression of resentment which is so natural to the injured?
9776Wherefore, then, should not_ I_ also exert my efforts?
9776Which of them, then, do you propose to imitate?
9776Which of them, therefore, is not to be met with in my seven Invectives against_ Verres_?
9776Who also was more nervous than Aristotle?
9776Who dethroned and banished a powerful monarch, the son of an illustrious sovereign?
9776Who had a richer style than Plato?
9776Who sweeter than Theophrastus?
9776Who, for instance, could be more unlike each other than Demosthenes and Lysias?
9776Who, then, can have patience with those dull and conceited humourists, who dare to oppose themselves to such venerable names as these?
9776Why, therefore, should we hesitate to follow her example, and to do our best to gratify the ear?
9776With what patience, then, would a Mysian or a Phrygian have been heard at Athens, when even Demosthenes himself was reproached as a nuisance?
9776Would_ you_, then, plead every cause in the same manner?
9776You, who are possessed of a critical knowledge of the art, what more will you require?
9776], though I was afterwards sensible it was too warm and extravagant?
9776]; such as the following line in the tragedy of_ Thyestes_,"_ Quemnam te esse dicam?
9776and afterwards,_ Stilphonem, inquam, noveras_?
9776and with what emphasis did he enlarge upon the necessity of supporting the common forms of law?
9776and yet who more venerable than yourself, or who more agreeable?
9776cur de perfugis nostris copias comparant contra nos_?"
9776have we not seen what has always been the wish of the defendant, and what the judgment of Hortensius, concerning yourself?
9776how often did he urge the authority of his father, who had always been an advocate for a strict adherence to the letter of a testament?
9776or in that of_ Cornelius_?
9776or in the cause of_ Habitus_?
9776or indeed in most of my Defences?
9776or rather, who would not have ordered him to be instantly torn from the Rostrum?
9776or than Demosthenes and Hyperides?
9776or which of our ancestors, when the choice of a pleader was left to his own option, did not immediately fix it either upon Crassus or Antonius?
9776qui in tardâ senectute_;"Whom shall I call thee?
9776replied he;"and what miraculous composition could that be?"
9776said Brutus;"and who was the Caius Rufius you are speaking of?"
9776what of the accuracy and preciseness of the old and established forms; of law?
9776when they are so very different, not only from each other, but from all the rest of their contemporaries?"
9776why do they collect forces against us from our own deserters?"
14721Might it not be well for me,queried the officer,"to set this matter right in a letter to some paper, stating the facts as they actually transpired?"
14721Must a government, of necessity, be too strong for the liberties of its own people, or too weak to maintain its own existence?
14721That is so,one of them says; I wonder if he is a Kentuckian?
14721... Are you strong enough-- are you strong enough, even with my help-- to set your foot upon the necks of Sumner, Heintzelman, and Keyes, all at once?
14721And how much would it avail you if you could, by the use of John Brown, Helper''s book, and the like, break up the Republican organization?
14721And is it not needed whenever taking it helps us or hurts the enemy?
14721And is there any doubt that we must all lay aside our prejudices and march, shoulder to shoulder, in the great army of Freedom?
14721And now I ask why he could not have left that compromise alone?
14721And now why will you ask us to deny the humanity of the slave, and estimate him as only the equal of the hog?
14721And should any one in any case be content that his oath shall go unkept on a merely unsubstantial controversy as to how it shall be kept?
14721And suppose they could be induced by a proclamation of freedom from me to throw themselves upon us, what should we do with them?
14721And what shall we have in lieu of it?
14721And when will we cease to have quarrels over it?
14721And why the hasty after- indorsement of the decision by the President and others?
14721Another form of his question is,"Why ca n''t we let it stand as our fathers placed it?"
14721Are not the tendencies plain?
14721Are we in a healthful political state?
14721Are you for it?
14721Are you for it?
14721Are you going to split the Ohio down through, and push your half off a piece?
14721As to the whiskers, having never worn any, do you not think people would call it a piece of silly affectation if I were to begin it now?
14721At what point shall we expect the approach of danger?
14721At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected?
14721But can this question of slavery be considered as among these varieties in the institutions of the country?
14721But can we, for that reason, run ahead, and infer that he will make any particular change, of which he himself has given no intimation?
14721But does not this question make a disturbance outside of political circles?
14721But has it been so with this element of slavery?
14721But how can we attain it?
14721But how if she votes herself a slave State unfairly; that is, by the very means for which you say you would hang men?
14721But if it is a moral and political wrong, as all Christendom considers it to be, how can he answer to God for this attempt to spread and fortify it?
14721But if it is, how can he resist it?
14721But if the negro is a man, is it not to that extent a total destruction of self- government to say that he, too, shall not govern himself?
14721But let me ask Judge Douglas how he is going to get the people to do that?
14721But what could I do?
14721But where will you be placed if you reindorse Judge Douglas?
14721But which system shall be adopted?
14721But who resists it?
14721By the way, in what consists the special sacredness of a State?
14721By what means shall we fortify against it?
14721Can Judge Douglas find anybody on earth that said that anybody else should form a constitution for a people?...
14721Can Louisiana be brought into proper practical relation with the Union sooner by sustaining or by discarding her new State government?
14721Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws?
14721Can any man doubt that, even in spite of the people''s will, slavery will triumph through violence, unless that will be made manifest and enforced?
14721Can he possibly show that it is a less sacred right to buy them where they can be bought cheapest?
14721Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends?
14721Can we afford to sin any more deeply against human liberty?
14721Can we as Christian men, and strong and free ourselves, wield the sledge or hold the iron which is to manacle anew an already oppressed race?
14721Can we safely base our action upon any such vague inference?
14721Can you there, any more than here, raise corn and wheat and oats without work?
14721Can you, if you swear to support the Constitution and believe that the Constitution establishes a right, clear your oath without giving it support?
14721Could Washington himself speak, would he cast the blame of that sectionalism upon us, who sustain his policy, or upon you, who repudiate it?
14721Could he have done it without them?
14721Did we brave all then to falter now?--now, when that same enemy is wavering, dissevered, and belligerent?
14721Did we notify them of this sage view of ours when we borrowed their money?
14721Did you ever, my friends, seriously reflect upon the speed with which we are tending downward?
14721Do not the signs of the times point plainly the way in which we are going?
14721Do the commanders of corps disobey your orders in anything?
14721Do you accept the challenge?
14721Do you not constantly argue that this is not the right place to oppose it?
14721Do you not violate and disregard your oath?
14721Do you think differently?
14721Does Douglas believe an effort to revive that trade is approaching?
14721Does he not virtually shift his ground and say that it is not a question for the court, but for the people?
14721Does he really think so?
14721Does it appear otherwise to you?
14721Does it not enter into the churches and rend them asunder?
14721Does the Judge claim that he is working on the plan of the founders of the government?
14721Does the Judge say it can stand?
14721Dr. Ross has a slave named Sambo, and the question is,"Is it the will of God that Sambo shall remain a slave, or be set free?"
14721For instance, do you suppose that I should ever have got into notice if I had waited to be hunted up and pushed forward by older men?
14721Free them all, and keep them among us as underlings?
14721Free them, and make them politically and socially our equals?
14721Has anything ever threatened the existence of this Union save and except this very institution of slavery?
14721Has not the Supreme Court decided that question?
14721Has she formed a constitution that she is likely to come in under?
14721Has there ever been a time when anybody said that any other than the people of a Territory itself should form a constitution?
14721Have these very matters ever produced any difficulty amongst us?
14721Have they produced any differences?
14721Have we ever had any peace on this slavery question?
14721Have we no tendency to the latter condition?
14721Have we not always had quarrels and difficulties over it?
14721He says,"Why ca n''t this Union endure permanently half slave and half free?"
14721How are we ever to have peace upon it?
14721How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes be in favour of degrading classes of white people?
14721How can he oppose the advances of slavery?
14721How can we best do it?
14721How can we feed and care for such a multitude?
14721How comes it that a man of first- rate powers was deficient in qualities appertaining to his own profession which men less remarkable have possessed?
14721How comes this vast amount of property to be running about without owners?
14721How could I be?
14721How great a majority, do you think, would have been given had Kansas also been secured for slavery?
14721How is it over?
14721How is this?
14721How many times have we had danger from this question?
14721How would you like that?
14721How, then, shall we perform it?
14721I appeal to you whether he did not say it was a question for the Supreme Court?
14721I ask if somebody does not remember that a national bank was declared to be constitutional?
14721I ask you if it is not a false philosophy?
14721I repeat the question, is not Congress itself bound to give legislative support to any right that is established in the United States Constitution?
14721I repeat, therefore, the question, Is it not plain in what direction we are tending?
14721I submit to you now, whether the new state of the case has not induced the Judge to sheer away from his original ground?
14721I want to know, now, when that thing takes place, what do you mean to do?
14721If one man says it does not mean a negro, why not another say it does not mean some other man?
14721If this is true, how do you propose to improve the condition of things by enlarging slavery,--by spreading it out and making it bigger?
14721If you ca n''t now live with the land, how will you then live without it?
14721If you did not feel that it was wrong, why did you join in providing that men should be hung for it?
14721In our present differences, is either party without faith of being in the right?
14721In that arrest all can give aid that will; and who shall be excused that can and will not?
14721In the first place, what is necessary to make the institution national?
14721In what way can that compromise be used to keep Lee''s army out of Pennsylvania?
14721Is Kansas in the Union?
14721Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?
14721Is it not to give such constitutional helps to the rights established by that Constitution as may be practically needed?
14721Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before?
14721Is it quite certain that this betters their condition?
14721Is it the right of the people to have slavery or not to have it, as they see fit, in the Territories?
14721Is it true, then, that any right, plainly written in the Constitution, has been denied?
14721Is not that a falsehood?
14721Is not the slavery agitation still an open question in that Territory?...
14721Is that the truth?
14721Is the land any richer?
14721Is the one right any better than the other?
14721Is there a single court or magistrate or individual that would be influenced by it there?
14721Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
14721Is there any mistaking it?
14721Is there such perfect identity of interests among the States to compose a new Union, as to produce harmony only, and prevent renewed secession?
14721Is there, has there ever been, any question that, by the law of war, property, both of enemies and friends, may be taken when needed?
14721Is there-- can there be-- any doubt about this thing?
14721Is this quite just to the creditors?
14721Is this the work of politicians?
14721It forces us to ask:"Is there, in all republics, this inherent and fatal weakness?"
14721It is being executed in the precise way which was intended from the first, else why does no Nebraska man express astonishment or condemnation?
14721It is colour, then; the lighter having the right to enslave the darker?
14721It is enough for my purpose to ask, whenever a Republican said anything against it?
14721Just before reaching the door, Mr. Lincoln came out, and meeting his friend said good- humouredly,"Are you not ahead of time?"
14721Let me ask you why many of us, who are opposed to slavery upon principle, give our acquiescence to a fugitive- slave law?
14721May I ask those who have not differed with me, to join with me in this same spirit towards those who have?
14721Must she still be admitted, or the Union dissolved?
14721Not only so, but if you were to do so, how long would it take the courts to hold your votes unconstitutional and void?
14721Not only so, but is there not another fact,--how came this Dred Scott decision to be made?
14721Now, I wish you to mark, What has become of that squatter sovereignty?
14721Now, can you or not be prevailed upon to pause and to consider whether this is quite just to us, or even to yourselves?
14721Now, my friends, can this country be saved on that basis?
14721Now, on what ground would a member of Congress who is opposed to slavery in the abstract, vote for a fugitive law, as I would deem it my duty to do?
14721Now, then, tell me, if you please, what possible result of good would follow the issuing of such a proclamation as you desire?
14721Now, what is Judge Douglas''s popular sovereignty?
14721Now, who was it that did the work?
14721Now, why is this?
14721One party to a contract may violate it-- break it, so to speak; but does it not require all to lawfully rescind it?
14721Or are you going to keep it right alongside of us outrageous fellows?
14721Our political problem now is,"Can we as a nation continue together_ permanently-- for ever_--half slave, and half free?"
14721Pray, will or may not the Know- nothings, if they should get in power, add the word"protestant,"making it read"_ all protestant white men_"?
14721Shall fugitives from labour be surrendered by national or by State authority?
14721Shall he now be arrested in his desolating career?
14721Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step across the ocean and crush us at a blow?
14721Should we not stand by our neighbours who seek to better their conditions in Kansas and Nebraska?
14721The Judge does not seem to be attending to me just now, but I would like to know if it is his opinion that a house divided against itself can stand?
14721The fact is substantially true; but does it prove the issue?
14721The great question with them has been,"Will the negro fight for them?"
14721The question is, will it be wiser to take it as it is and help to improve it, or to reject and disperse it?
14721The question recurs, how shall we fortify against it?
14721Then what is necessary for the nationalization of slavery?
14721Then where is the place to oppose it?
14721Think you these places would satisfy an Alexander, a Cæsar, or a Napoleon?
14721To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak?
14721Was it possible to lose the nation and yet preserve the Constitution?
14721We deny it; and what is your proof?
14721What are the distinctive merits of these speeches and letters?
14721What are the uses of decisions of courts?
14721What can authorize him to draw any such inference?
14721What can you do in Missouri better than here?
14721What could I do?
14721What disturbed the Unitarian Church in this very city two years ago?
14721What divided the great Methodist Church into two parts, North and South?
14721What do these terms mean?
14721What do those terms mean when used now?
14721What do you understand by supporting the Constitution of a State or of the United States?
14721What for?
14721What good would a proclamation of emancipation from me do, especially as we are now situated?
14721What has become of it?
14721What has ever threatened our liberty and prosperity save and except this institution of slavery?
14721What has jarred and shaken the great American Tract Society recently,--not yet splitting it, but sure to divide it in the end?
14721What has now become of all his tirade against"resistance to the Supreme Court"?
14721What has raised this constant disturbance in every Presbyterian General Assembly that meets?
14721What induced the Southampton insurrection, twenty- eight years ago, in which at least three times as many lives were lost as at Harper''s Ferry?
14721What is a great man?
14721What is conservatism?
14721What is fairly implied by the term Judge Douglas has used,"resistance to the decision"?
14721What is it that we hold most dear amongst us?
14721What is it?
14721What is popular sovereignty?
14721What is popular sovereignty?
14721What is that something?
14721What is there in the language of that speech which expresses such purpose or bears such construction?
14721What is_ sovereignty_ in the political sense of the term?
14721What mysterious right to play tyrant is conferred on a district of country, with its people, by merely calling it a State?
14721What name can I, in common decency, give to this wicked transaction?
14721What next?
14721What of that?
14721What one of us but can call to mind some relative more promising in youth than all his fellows, who has fallen a sacrifice to his rapacity?
14721What other thing that you consider a wrong do you deal with as you deal with that?
14721What then is_ coercion_?
14721What then?
14721What was it placed there for?
14721What was squatter sovereignty?
14721What were they but a clear indication that the framers of the Constitution intended and expected the ultimate extinction of that institution?
14721What would that other channel probably be?
14721What would you do in my position?
14721What, then, are their merits?
14721What?
14721When are we to have peace upon it if it is kept in the position it now occupies?
14721When he had finished, Mr. Lincoln said to him,"Have you a blank card?"
14721When he now says that the people may exclude slavery, does he not make it a question for the people?
14721When is it likely to come to an end?
14721When that is so, how much is left of this vast matter of squatter sovereignty, I should like to know?
14721Which could have come the nearest to doing it without the other?
14721Who defeated it?
14721Who has, in spite of the decision, declared Dred Scott free, and resisted the authority of his master over him?
14721Who is so bold as to do it?
14721Who, then, shall come in at this day and claim that he invented it?
14721Why ask us to do for nothing what two hundred millions of dollars could not induce you to do?
14721Why ask us to do what you will not do yourselves?
14721Why better after the retraction than before the issue?
14721Why declare that within twenty years the African slave- trade, by which slaves are supplied, might be cut off by Congress?
14721Why did you do this?
14721Why do we hold ourselves under obligations to pass such a law, and abide by it when passed?
14721Why even a Senator''s individual opinion withheld till after the presidential election?
14721Why mention a State?
14721Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people?
14721Why should they do anything for us, if we will do nothing for them?
14721Why the delay of a reargument?
14721Why the incoming President''s advance exhortation in favour of the decision?
14721Why the outgoing President''s felicitation on the indorsement?
14721Why this deliberate pressing out of view the rights of men and the authority of the people?
14721Why was the Court decision held up?
14721Why was the amendment expressly declaring the right of the people voted down?
14721Why were all these acts?
14721Why will he not read and understand what I have said?
14721Why will not the North say officially that it wishes for the restoration of the Union as it was?"
14721Why, yes, Douglas did it?
14721Why?
14721Why?
14721Will Dr. Ross be actuated by the perfect impartiality which has ever been considered most favourable to correct decisions?
14721Will anybody there, any more than here, do your work for you?
14721Will some one please tell me where is the_ positive_ law that establishes slavery in Kansas?
14721Will the Judge pretend that Dred Scott was not held there without police regulations?
14721Will they allow me, as an old Whig, to tell them good- humouredly that I think this is very silly?
14721Will you hazard so desperate a step while there is any possibility that any portion of the ills you fly from have no real existence?
14721Will you make war upon us and kill us all?
14721Will you not embrace it?
14721Will you not soon visit Washington again?
14721Will you please tell me by what_ right_ slavery exists in Texas to- day?
14721Will you, while the certain ills you fly to are greater than all the real ones you fly from-- will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake?
14721Would an exchange of_ names_ be an exchange of_ rights_ upon principle?
14721Would he not at once have freed them?
14721Would it be far wrong to define it"a political community without a political superior?"
14721Would my word free the slaves, when I can not even enforce the Constitution in the rebel States?
14721Would not this be the impression of every fair- minded man?
14721Would the marching of an army into South Carolina, without the consent of her people and with hostile intent towards them, be invasion?
14721Would the number of John Browns be lessened or enlarged by the operation?
14721Would you deal lighter blows rather than heavier ones?
14721Would you drop the war where it is, or would you prosecute it in future with elder- stalk squirts charged with rose- water?
14721Would you give up the contest, leaving any available means untried?
14721Would you have that question reduced to its former proportions?
14721You can not escape this conclusion; and yet, are you willing to abide by it?
14721You do not mean colour exactly?
14721You mean the whites are intellectually the superiors of the blacks, and therefore have the right to enslave them?
14721You produce your proof; and what is it?
14721You say it is wrong; but do n''t you constantly object to anybody else saying so?
14721[ A voice:"Then do you repudiate popular sovereignty?"]
14721[ A voice:"Why do n''t they come out on it?"]
14721_ Fifth._ In case of disaster, would not a retreat be more difficult by your plan than mine?
14721_ First._ Does not your plan involve a greatly larger expenditure of time and money than mine?
14721_ Fourth._ In fact, would it not be less valuable in this, that it would break no great line of the enemy''s communications, while mine would?
14721_ May_ Congress prohibit slavery in the Territories?
14721_ Must_ Congress protect slavery in the Territories?
14721_ Second._ Wherein is a victory more certain by your plan than mine?
14721_ Third._ Wherein is a victory more valuable by your plan than mine?
14721and why do they deserve to be valued and remembered?
14721what is_ invasion_?
6333''How air you feelin''now?'' 6333 ''Sary,''says he,''wot''s that a- cookin''?''
6333''Waal, Doctor,''says Dock Smith,''what do you think''bout it?'' 6333 And did you really find it by the body of the murdered man?"
6333And for what? 6333 Before I deliver sentence on you, Abner Barrow,"he said with an old man''s kind severity,"is there anything you have to say on your own behalf?"

6333Aguinaldo would say;"do you propose to retire?"
6333And I appeal to you, gentlemen, what cause there now is to alter our sentiments?
6333And a day less or more At sea or ashore, We die-- does it matter when?
6333And do you now cull out a holiday?
6333And do you now put on your best attire?
6333And do you now strew flowers in his way That comes in triumph over Pompey''s blood?
