Appearances
When I contemplated the death and misery that were sure to follow, I stood appalled.
No advantage whatever was gained to compensate for the heavy loss we sustained.
Unless some measure can be devised to replace our losses.
The consequences may be disastrous.
We are like whalers who have been long on a chase.
We have at last got the harpoon into the monster.
But we must now look how we steer.
Or with one flop of his tail
He will send us all into eternity.
There are no peace commissioners in the city.
Or likely to be.
Fondly do we hope.
Fervently do we pray.
That this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.
Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk.
And until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said.
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous.
With malice toward none.
With charity for all.
With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.
