Página 24 - So large an army as the government has now on foot was never before known without a soldier in it but who has taken his place there of his own free choice. But more than this, there are many single regiments whose members, one and another, possess full practical knowledge of all the arts, sciences, professions, and whatever else, whether useful or elegant, is known in the world; and there is scarcely one from which there could not be selected a President, a Cabinet, a Congress, and perhaps a court,...

Página 21 - God dwelleth in eternity and has an infinite leisure to roll forward the affairs of men." And as the scales fall from our eyes, shall we not more and more see and feel how much greater, grander, and more sublime is the silent, suffering intelligent patience and endurance of Lincoln, than the holy scorn and righteous, tempestuous wrath of these others? And so the period of debate came to an end, and the period of action arrived. The nation, blind and tormented, was feeling about for its deliverer;...
