22584 | Who in army, or government, did not? |
22584 | Who in the South does not honor it? |
22584 | Who shall justly calculate the influence the lobby and its workings had in hastening that inevitable, the war between the states? |
22584 | Who will stop that mighty whirligig to inspect whether the champagne is real, or the turtle is prime? |
22584 | Who, that was in it, will ever forget that bitter night? |
22584 | Why do n''t you speak English, instead of saying''wah yo''is''?" |
22584 | Why had General Lee been forced into battle on ground of the enemy''s choosing? |
22584 | Why had he fought the whole Yankee army with one division? |
22584 | Why had the campaign failed? |
22584 | Why on Pursuit? |
22584 | Why should the best blood of Carolina do more than the best blood of Virginia?" |
22584 | Why was Victory not Pushed? |
22584 | Why, what''ll become of our business if they move the Capital? |
22584 | Why_ do n''t_ they behave themselves? |
22584 | Will the cute Yankee of New England submit to be ruined, and starved, and taxed in addition? |
22584 | Will the great commercial metropolis let the grass grow in her streets and the vessels rot at her wharves, that once laughed with southern cotton? |
22584 | Would There be a Long War-- or any? |
22584 | Would n''t that make a show on a waxed floor?" |
22584 | Would you stay in the ranks as a private when as a captain or major you might do better service?" |
22584 | Wy, we''uns kem hyah ter fight th''Yanks; an''ef you''uns skeer''un off, how''n thunder ez thar goan ter be a scrimmidge, no how?" |
22584 | Yer married his sister Cynthy-- the one as squints? |
22584 | You do n''t mean Miss Mamie on Charles street, do you? |
22584 | You remember her that night at Mrs. R.''s fancy ball?" |
22584 | _ Que voulez vous?_ Pork is mighty! |
22584 | any news from home?" |
22584 | asked a splendid fellow leaning on an ax, the rapid strokes of which he stilled at my approach--"Not a half bad thing for a fancy ball, eh?" |
22584 | cheerily responded the youth, rising from his seat--"Have you got a leg for me, too?" |
22584 | cried a baldheaded man from the fire--"Don''t your heart rise at the scent of this_ olla_, my boy? |
22584 | was the bland query--"Pray what was it?" |
22584 | what are my principles to you? |
22584 | with a war in the land must people enjoy themselves? |
22584 | you did? |
42315 | Do you dispute the authority of the United States Government? |
42315 | I 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?'' |
42315 | 239; 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? |
42315 | 451; to the State government, 451; the powers of the State government are just powers, 451; is the citizen''s life in danger? |
42315 | 457; the Government of the United States, 457; where was the government of the State of Tennessee and the sovereign people? |
42315 | 624; who is responsible for the war? |
42315 | 762; when the cause was lost, what cause was it? |
42315 | Above all, should he be compelled to fall back for want of supplies, beat him? |
42315 | Also, what has become of the unalienable right of property, which all the State governments were created to protect and preserve? |
42315 | And suppose they could be induced by a proclamation of freedom from me to throw themselves upon us, what should we do with them? |
42315 | April 11th he asks,"When will you launch, and when will she be ready for action?" |
42315 | Are the freedom and personal liberty of the citizen in danger from unlawful arrest and imprisonment? |
42315 | Can not you hire night- gangs for triple wages?" |
42315 | Can you aid him?" |
42315 | Can you not cut him off from it? |
42315 | Could human ingenuity devise a method for a more perfect subversion of a constitutional duty? |
42315 | Did he do it? |
42315 | Does any one doubt that Major Pitcairn meant subjugation, or that Great Britain meant subjugation? |
42315 | Does not this demonstrate an intent to subjugate our States? |
42315 | Finally, the question was put to General Johnston categorically to this effect:''Will you surrender Atlanta without a fight?'' |
42315 | Floyd said,"General Buckner, if I place you in command, will you allow me to draw out my brigade?" |
42315 | For what honest purpose were these declarations made? |
42315 | Had Congress and the President made new laws of war? |
42315 | Have the eternal principles of the Declaration of Independence been hid from our sight for ever? |
42315 | How can we feed and care for such a multitude? |
42315 | How could an invader attempt to"institute"a republican State government? |
42315 | How would you like to have both your arms cut off?'' |
42315 | If 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? |
42315 | If 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?" |
42315 | If it had the power now to do what it before had not, whence was it derived? |
42315 | If the former, then what are constitutions worth for the protection of rights? |
42315 | Is anything to be done?" |
42315 | Is it henceforth to be a dictum of humanity that man may no more take up arms in defense of rights, liberty, and property? |
42315 | Is it not evident that, only by a fiction of speech, such proceedings can be called an insurrection? |
42315 | Is it strange that the men grew weak and attenuated? |
42315 | Is not this an attempt, while pretending to establish, to destroy true republicanism? |
42315 | Is such treatment of the Constitution the manner to preserve, protect, and defend it? |
42315 | Is the citizen''s life in danger from violence? |
42315 | Is the personal property of the citizen in danger of robbery or abduction? |
42315 | Is the property of the citizen in danger of a violent and unjust seizure and unlawful detention or destruction? |
42315 | Is there a single court, or magistrate, or individual that would be influenced by it there? |
42315 | Let posterity answer the questions: Who were the revolutionists? |
42315 | May not the House of Representatives impeach the President for such refusal?" |
42315 | Now, then, tell me, if you please, what possible result of good would follow the issuing of such a proclamation as you desire? |
42315 | Now, where were the"just powers"of the State government at this time? |
42315 | Of what avail to ask for the privilege of bail when in military custody, which knows no such thing as bail? |
42315 | Pemberton replied by asking:"Have you force enough to hold your position? |
42315 | President Lincoln replied:"What good would a proclamation of emancipation from me do, especially as we are now situated? |
42315 | STEVENS, THADDEUS, his remark,"Who pleads the Constitution against our proposed action"of confiscation? |
42315 | The inquiry naturally arises, Was it because of this difference that Pope had been assigned to the command of the Army of Virginia? |
42315 | Under these circumstances, who was the sovereign in Tennessee? |
42315 | Under what principles, then, could the Government of the United States appear in Louisiana and attempt to institute a State government? |
42315 | Was it against them as individuals in an unorganized condition, or as organized political communities? |
42315 | Was it thus obeyed by Mr. Lincoln as the supreme law of the land? |
42315 | Was the inherent sovereignty of the people destroyed by shot and shell? |
42315 | Was this a government resting on the consent of the governed? |
42315 | Was this an attempt to enforce a fiction or to establish the truth? |
42315 | Were Federal prisoners left to suffer, and afterward photographed"to aid in firing the popular heart of the North"? |
42315 | Were these the appropriate means by which to execute the laws, and in suppressing rioters to secure tranquillity and preserve a voluntary union? |
42315 | What can you do? |
42315 | What cause was it? |
42315 | What need was thereof this second stipulation? |
42315 | What were these supposed safeguards? |
42315 | What, then, is the Government of the United States? |
42315 | What, then, is this necessity? |
42315 | When the cause was lost, what cause was it? |
42315 | When the war closed, who were the victors? |
42315 | Whence came the change? |
42315 | Where must the American citizen look for the security of the rights with which he has been endowed by his Creator? |
42315 | Where was the government of the State of Tennessee and the sovereign people? |
42315 | Where was the sovereignty of the people under these proceedings? |
42315 | Which is sovereign, Mr. Lincoln and his proclamation or the Constitution? |
42315 | Which is the higher authority, Mr. Lincoln and his emancipation proclamation or the Constitution? |
42315 | Who is the criminal? |
42315 | Who is to decide what persons are"loyal"? |
42315 | Who pleads the Constitution against our proposed action?" |
42315 | Who shall decide? |
42315 | Who was to be the umpire in such a case? |
42315 | Who were really destroying the Constitution of the United States? |
42315 | Who, then, had a right to"institute"a republican government for Louisiana? |
42315 | Why call on him now?'' |
42315 | Why should ships alone be in themselves contraband? |
42315 | Why were they not hung? |
42315 | Will it always be thus? |
42315 | Will it stand? |
42315 | Will the safety of your army allow more time? |
42315 | Would 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. |
42315 | and Why, the battle having been preconceived, were they so far removed as not to hear the first guns? |
42315 | of the United States, who were really destroying? |
42315 | the State guarantees his protection, 451; is the citizen''s personal liberty in danger? |
36969 | A- coming down here a- spiling our country, and a- robbing our hen- roosts? 36969 AIN''T YOU ASHAMED OF YOU''UNS?" |
36969 | And 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?" |
36969 | Are you in pain, Captain? |
36969 | Are you married? |
36969 | But 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?" |
36969 | But what does the doctor say, for I am mighty anxious to go? |
36969 | Did I say all that? |
36969 | Did you writ all that? |
36969 | Had not you all better go home? |
36969 | How can we reach it? |
36969 | How is that,inquired Pat,"are we not friends?" |
36969 | How perfectly ridiculous,do you say? |
36969 | Is this Colonel Prince? |
36969 | Kin you writ a letter? |
36969 | Lee, Lee? |
36969 | May I ask why he is a prisoner? |
36969 | May n''t I wash your face? |
36969 | She? 36969 Tell me the truth, wo n''t you?" |
36969 | Think 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?" |
36969 | Well, madam,said the Federal officer, with bland politeness,"to what do I owe the honor of this visit?" |
36969 | Well, what are you going to do now, John? |
36969 | Well, what''s the trouble, sir? |
36969 | What do you mean, sir? |
36969 | What do you want here? |
36969 | What is that? |
36969 | What is the matter now? |
36969 | What is the nature of those acts? |
36969 | What is your name? |
36969 | What must I do with her? |
36969 | What''s the matter with this meat, madam? 36969 What''s the matter, man?" |
36969 | When did he join it? |
36969 | Where 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?" |
36969 | Where is the nearest ford? |
36969 | Where''s the General? |
36969 | Which way? |
36969 | Who are you-- one of the Yankees? |
36969 | Who are you? |
36969 | Who was Barbara Frietchie? |
36969 | Why did n''t you take some ham last night? |
36969 | Why do you and your troops rush into my house? |
36969 | Why do you not let the nurse cut your nails? |
36969 | Why, father,said I,"who ever heard of paying ten dollars for needles and thread?" |
36969 | Will you come back to- morrow and go now? |
36969 | Will you let me have your hair cut then? 36969 Will you not let me pray for you?" |
36969 | Wouldst 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?" |
36969 | 39?" |
36969 | After being reassured as to his master''s safety, I asked,"Did he have a comfortable night, John?" |
36969 | Again, I demand why you have burned my home? |
36969 | Ai n''t you ashamed of you''uns? |
36969 | Am I not more than repaid by their thanks? |
36969 | And pray, sir, is he your husband or mine?" |
36969 | And she replied:"Did you eat the mutton chops last night?" |
36969 | And then he told me this interesting story:"Ever been to Frederick?" |
36969 | Answer as you must answer before the Searcher of all hearts, why have you added this cruel, wicked deed to your many crimes? |
36969 | Are n''t you ashamed of yourselves? |
36969 | As one of these was rushing from a hot fire to the rear one day, his colonel shouted to him,"What are you running for? |
36969 | Astonished 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? |
36969 | At last the call of a sentry brought her to stand, with a hoarse"Who goes there?" |
36969 | B. Gordon shouted,"Stop there, Jim; what makes you run?" |
36969 | But of what importance was the fact that I was homeless, houseless and moneyless, in Richmond, the heart of Virginia? |
36969 | But what has been the result of opening it to them? |
36969 | But what was to be done? |
36969 | But where is he buried?" |
36969 | But, Lord, if we let the South go, as Mr. Lincoln says, where will we get our revenues? |
36969 | But, my dear friends, have we not failed in one paramount duty? |
36969 | Can I say,"God forgive you?" |
36969 | Can ancient or modern history show a nobler or more unselfish and patriotic devotion to any cause? |
36969 | Can life have any more terrible antithesis than this? |
36969 | Catching at the suggestion as a revelation of duty, she asked,"And cheerfulness makes better soldiers of the men, does it not?" |
36969 | Could any one lead a more consecrated life? |
36969 | Could it be that Psyche had stirred one of the delicate plumes of her wing and touched that dormant soul? |
36969 | Daniels?" |
36969 | Declare war? |
36969 | Did they think the night too terrible to be out? |
36969 | Do 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?" |
36969 | Do you see that tender vine binding up the shattered tree and hiding its wounds? |
36969 | Frenzied Finance replied in the words of Mr. Lincoln,"If we let the South go, where will we get our revenues?" |
36969 | Have n''t Lee''s soldiers starved many a day? |
36969 | He answered,"Yes, mother; what is it?" |
36969 | He could not do it, but he said,"Ask your mother how much change she wants?" |
36969 | How came these holes in it?" |
36969 | How can this be? |
36969 | How 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? |
36969 | How on earth can I be calm? |
36969 | I 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? |
36969 | I ask who that does not wish infamy and disgrace attached to him forever would serve under you? |
36969 | I asked her if she could get bread enough for her children by her work? |
36969 | I called and said,"What''s the matter, Eddie?" |
36969 | I felt, rather than thought it-- but, had I really found her heart? |
36969 | I have come here to inquire whether you have a lad by the name of McCarthy a prisoner?" |
36969 | I laughed and said:"Did you ever meet Barbara Frietchie?" |
36969 | I tould him,''And what have you to say to what you done to our poor fellows?'' |
36969 | I wonder what is best? |
36969 | I, 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? |
36969 | If I turned and lost my way entirely, what would become of me on such a night? |
36969 | If one of my gells comes to you, you''ll give her a fair chance to shoot straight, wo n''t you, boys?" |
36969 | If she drew her faded skirt-- ever a black one, in that case-- from the passing blue, was it"treason,"or human nature? |
36969 | In Richmond, Atlanta, Charleston and elsewhere was she bitter and unforgiving? |
36969 | Indeed, why? |
36969 | Instead 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?" |
36969 | Is it not, then, wonderful that soldiers whose families have suffered such things could be restrained when in a hostile country? |
36969 | Is it possible that you abandoned your comrades and deserted your colors in the presence of the enemy without any reason?" |
36969 | Is n''t it lucky it''s my left hand?" |
36969 | Is not the whole land before thee? |
36969 | Is she one of them Lees?" |
36969 | Is she the daughter of whom you speak?" |
36969 | Kin you gim me sich a thing as a b''iled sweet pur- r- rta- a- a- tu- ur? |
36969 | My 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? |
36969 | Oh, God, shall I ever again hear a cheer which bears a man''s whole soul in it? |
36969 | Perceiving 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?" |
36969 | Said one of his neighbors:"Hello, John; the Yankees whipped you, did they?" |
36969 | Shall I write a letter for you? |
36969 | She is in ward G. What shall I do with her?" |
36969 | She knitted and gazed, and at last inquired"who was them ar''soldiers, and whar''was they a- going to?" |
36969 | She 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? |
36969 | Slowly the dear old lady rose And tottering forward came, And peering dimly through her"specks,"Said,"Honey, what''s your name?" |
36969 | Some 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?" |
36969 | Somebody''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? |
36969 | Springing from the bed, he said:"What is it, my child?" |
36969 | Tell me, have I saved the honor of Mary and Lucy?" |
36969 | The man stepped out, laid his hand on my bridle and said:"Stop, lady, you can go no further; but where are you going?" |
36969 | The young lady shrunk from the muzzle, and said:"How do I know?" |
36969 | Then what? |
36969 | Then why not, as Greeley and Phillips and thousands of Northern patriots urged, why not let these States go? |
36969 | Then why should there be war? |
36969 | There he said to the"farm hands:""Do n''t you know that a gentleman never dines without his coat? |
36969 | They asked me,''What have you in that bag?'' |
36969 | They had no money-- the city had already given its part-- what could be done? |
36969 | Thus 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? |
36969 | Tom, old fellow, what makes you start? |
36969 | Turning to the prisoner, I asked,"What did you do when you received this letter?" |
36969 | Was I to fail altogether of my mission? |
36969 | Was it for this that you turned me, my young daughter, and little son out upon the world without a shelter? |
36969 | Was it to the Union or to his State? |
36969 | Was she"unreconstructed?" |
36969 | Was the war between the States in 1861 a war in behalf of slavery on the one side and freedom on the other? |
36969 | What could the Southern States do under such an insulting ultimatum from the triumphant North? |
36969 | What did they do? |
36969 | What did we ever do to you''uns that you should come a- killing our brothers and sons? |
36969 | What for do you want us to live with you''uns, you poor white trash? |
36969 | What had Mrs. Scott and her children done? |
36969 | What of the negro? |
36969 | What right have you to expect anything from us?" |
36969 | What shall I do? |
36969 | What should I do? |
36969 | What surgeons in any age or in any war excelled the Confederate surgeons in skill, ingenuity or courage? |
36969 | What was my offence? |
36969 | What was the ground issue which held the Northern States so desperately on their crusade against the South? |
36969 | What was the main spring of the Free Soil crusade? |
36969 | What was working in that poor mind? |
36969 | When the war is over, where shall we find our old churches, where her noble homesteads, scenes of domestic comfort and generous hospitality? |
36969 | Where the little girls who carded and spun and knitted to help their mothers clothe the naked soldiers? |
36969 | Where the women who with tireless energy ministered night and day to the sick and wounded and spoke words of hope to the dying? |
36969 | Where 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? |
36969 | Where was the union? |
36969 | Who begrudges a moment for the record of her patriotic services and unremitting toil? |
36969 | Who can wonder that the heads of these poor ignorant people were turned and their moral natures poisoned? |
36969 | Who does not see in her a glorious lesson? |
36969 | Who was at the head of the domestic establishment? |
36969 | Who was to blame for it all? |
36969 | Who was to look after the sick when, as frequently happened, the physician was miles away? |
36969 | Who was to superintend and see to all this if not a woman? |
36969 | Who were the women of 1861? |
36969 | Who would dare to wipe out to- day a State''s individuality? |
36969 | Who, indeed, if not the mistress? |
36969 | Who? |
36969 | Why do I say this? |
36969 | Why had I fainted? |
36969 | Why not? |
36969 | Why should they suffer? |
36969 | Why was it that I could not meet one of them? |
36969 | Would you mind seeing if he is all right?" |
36969 | and who asked your permission, sir? |
36969 | and"Where are you from?" |
36969 | do you call this mob of retreating cowards an army? |
36969 | how was it?" |
36969 | if you are soldiers, why do n''t you stand and fight the savage wolves that are coming upon us defenceless women and children?" |
36969 | oh, God!-how will- they endure it?" |
43329 | ''Do you think Sherman will treat with you?'' 43329 ''What force is this?'' |
43329 | A. M. K.Can the North expect impartial history to accept its miserable subterfuge of"disloyalty,"by which such testimony as this is now excluded? |
43329 | 10, and of New Orleans? |
43329 | And how was this to be enumerated among the high crimes which caused the colonies to sever their connection with the mother country? |
43329 | Are we called upon to settle what every body said from 1847 down to this date? |
43329 | Are we to accept the imputation of error to Mr. Davis alone? |
43329 | But are the issues of the war to be subjected to candid and impartial legal adjudication? |
43329 | But can a candid world credit the charge of cruelty against the South? |
43329 | But if it were otherwise; if they had neglected to assert a right; would that destroy it? |
43329 | But if there was any thing"cruel and inhuman"in this deficiency,_ whose fault_ was it? |
43329 | But is it true that, in this war, the men of property have shrunk from the ordeal of the battle- field? |
43329 | But suppose Kentucky asserts her sovereignty, and chooses to unite with the South, what, then, becomes of State Sovereignty and State allegiance? |
43329 | But suppose the same test should be applied to General Johnston; would there not be found an equal wanting of_ results_? |
43329 | But waiving that, is it squatter sovereignty in its broadest sense? |
43329 | But was this the only source of information, or was the impression otherwise sustained? |
43329 | But what was his error after assumption of the Presidency? |
43329 | But would the most stupid Bourbon partisan, therefore, call in question the mighty genius of Napoleon? |
43329 | But, impartial history will ask, whence come these calumnies against the great, pure, and pious leader of a brave people, in a struggle for liberty? |
43329 | But, pray, what one of those measures was it which excited the mob so described? |
43329 | But, sir, what is the danger which now besets the Democratic party? |
43329 | Can it be believed that the President would have taken that step, if satisfied of Johnston''s purpose to deliver battle for Atlanta? |
43329 | Can the honorable gentleman from Mississippi say as much? |
43329 | Can there be but one interpretation of the motives of those who rejected this noble offer? |
43329 | Could any man say that this power was not retained by the States, since it was not given away?" |
43329 | Could any man say, no? |
43329 | Could that be in the face of a struggle that we were constantly carrying on against the opponents of the fugitive slave law? |
43329 | Could there have been a more becoming and dignified exercise of the vaunted right of self- government? |
43329 | Davis''party?'' |
43329 | Did I not offer to resign the only chairmanship of a committee I had if the Senate would confer it upon him? |
43329 | Did Illinois then adopt my theory of protection in the Territories, or of the right of State secession? |
43329 | Did Mr. Yancey, in his speech delivered at Charleston, justify the conclusions which the Senator draws from this letter? |
43329 | Did Taylor''s subsequent career vindicate the President or the critics? |
43329 | Did he admit them to be correct? |
43329 | Did it mean that the Territories were to elect? |
43329 | Did she receive it? |
43329 | Does any one suspect the Confederate Government of deliberately stinting its own soldiers? |
43329 | Does he not see that there is no justice in assuming a vote for an individual to be the entire adoption of his opinions? |
43329 | Does it refer to organization of the Territory? |
43329 | Does the Senator ask me for an answer? |
43329 | Especially, what had all this to do with what he styled an indictment against him? |
43329 | For what was our Government instituted? |
43329 | Granting that General Johnston would have sought to hold Atlanta, can it be believed that the ultimate result would have been different? |
43329 | Had the Declaration announced that the negroes were free and equal, how was the prince to be arraigned for raising up insurrection among them? |
43329 | Has it been with the hope of sowing dissensions between us and our Western friends? |
43329 | Has patriotism ceased to be a virtue, and is narrow sectionalism no longer to be counted a crime? |
43329 | Have I ever promulgated a doctrine which indicated that if my friends were in power, I would sacrifice every other wing of the Democratic party? |
43329 | Have I, at this or any other period of my acquaintance with him, done any thing to justify him in attributing that opinion to me? |
43329 | Have the Democracy divided on that? |
43329 | Have the purposes for which our Union was formed lost their value? |
43329 | Have they divided on the resolutions of the States in 1840, or 1844, or 1848? |
43329 | Have we so degenerated that we can no longer emulate their virtues? |
43329 | He demanded, if powers not given were retained by implication? |
43329 | He hurriedly inquired, as he listened to the tramp of the coming horsemen:"''What troops are these?'' |
43329 | How could it be possible, under such circumstances, to prevent suffering among the prisoners? |
43329 | How could that be? |
43329 | How do you propose to obtain terms?'' |
43329 | How will you reach Sherman?'' |
43329 | How, then, can it be pretended that it was"cruel and inhuman"to prisoners whom it fed as well? |
43329 | If Atlanta should be surrendered, where would General Johnston expect to give battle? |
43329 | If I had not made the offer, why did the Federal authorities send transportation to Savannah for ten or fifteen thousand men? |
43329 | If I made the offer, based only on equivalents, why did the same transportation carry down for delivery only three thousand men? |
43329 | If his opponents be the very small minority which he describes, what fear has he of persecution or proscription? |
43329 | If no action upon the question was the prevailing opinion, what does the legislation mean? |
43329 | If sovereignty passed by the recognition of the fact, how did he propose, by congressional act, to annul the territorial existence of Utah? |
43329 | If the supply was inadequate or ill- assorted, we again ask, are_ we_ to be charged with cruelty and inhumanity? |
43329 | If they had failed at some time to claim this protection, are they to be estopped, in all time to come, from claiming it? |
43329 | In reply to the question of Mr. Davis,"General, how do you feel?" |
43329 | Incapacity of the Federal Government to enact any law for the protection of slave property anywhere? |
43329 | Is it a declaration that the inhabitants of a Territory can exercise all the powers of a State? |
43329 | Is it so? |
43329 | Is it, as has been asserted, the doctrine of intervention by Congress, and is that doctrine new? |
43329 | Is the Senator answered? |
43329 | Is the firm and constant support of Lee, of Sidney Johnston, of Jackson, and of Early to be accounted as nothing? |
43329 | It may be asked, Why did Mr. Davis suffer this suspicion, when the proof of its injustice might have been so easily adduced? |
43329 | More important still, what is the evidence? |
43329 | Need we pursue this subject further? |
43329 | Now, what is the"inexorable logic"of this train of evidence? |
43329 | Of Alabama, led by the brilliant genius of Mr. Yancey? |
43329 | Of what avail were the malignity, the misrepresentation, and the unrelenting vindictiveness of England against Napoleon? |
43329 | Of_ whom_ is the cruelty and inhumanity to be alleged? |
43329 | On what ground does the Senator now put it?... |
43329 | Pray, sir, what had all this to do with the question? |
43329 | Pray, what can this mean? |
43329 | Shall the Rocky Mountains prove a dividing barrier to us? |
43329 | Shall we preserve and transmit it to posterity? |
43329 | Should secession be legally justified, what justification could the North claim, that is rightfully denied to Russia in her conduct towards Poland? |
43329 | Squatter sovereignty? |
43329 | The question shall not be, who fired the first shot? |
43329 | The real point is, could not this Union have been made permanent by timely settlement, instead of cemented by fraternal blood and military rule? |
43329 | Then how do the people of a State decide the question of what shall be property within the State? |
43329 | Then, how did the South become responsible for the doctrine of General Cass, by consenting to his nomination in 1848, and supporting his election? |
43329 | Then, where is this spirit of proscription, the complaint of which has constituted some hours of his speech? |
43329 | To the profound erudition and philosophical genius of that eminent writer, as conspicuously displayed in his work entitled,"Is Davis a Traitor?" |
43329 | To you would be presented the question, Will you allow the Constitutional Union to be changed into the despotism of a majority? |
43329 | Under such circumstances, how could there be that unity and coöperation, without which the cause was preordained to failure? |
43329 | Was President Davis to call twenty into existence, fit to command armies, when Napoleon declared his armies did not afford half a dozen? |
43329 | Was it non- action in the District of Columbia? |
43329 | Was there reason to believe that any better result would follow from a repetition of the offensive? |
43329 | Was this the entertainment to which we were invited? |
43329 | Was, then, the Western army to lie idle, awaiting the disposition and convenience of one man? |
43329 | Were the patriots of Western Virginia, thousands of whom made heroic sacrifices, to be abandoned without an effort for their rescue? |
43329 | What does it say? |
43329 | What does"may elect"mean? |
43329 | What is the question on which the Democracy are divided? |
43329 | What plea should England need for her outrages upon Ireland? |
43329 | What revisory function had we, if they, through their representatives, had full power to act on all such subjects whatsoever? |
43329 | What, then, is the necessary inference? |
43329 | When asked,"Why not let the South go?" |
43329 | Where better arrangements to facilitate commerce? |
43329 | Where does he get all this information? |
43329 | Where else will one find a more happy union of magnificence and comfort? |
43329 | Where is their right to do as they please? |
43329 | Where so much of industry with so little noise and bustle? |
43329 | Where were they? |
43329 | Where, in a phrase, so much effected in proportion to the means employed? |
43329 | Where, then, shall we get our revenue?_"And the united North reëchoed:"_ Let the South go! |
43329 | Where, then, shall we look for the bounties and monopolies which have so enriched us at the expense of those improvident, unsuspecting Southerners? |
43329 | Whether 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? |
43329 | Who can now doubt which was the better and more logical theory? |
43329 | Who has advanced any such doctrine? |
43329 | Who has the right to gainsay it? |
43329 | Who may elect? |
43329 | Who would undertake to show the Senator that he was in error? |
43329 | Why did the States confer upon the Federal Government the great functions which it possesses? |
43329 | Why the frequent reference to the conduct of the South on the Texas question? |
43329 | Will our votes on test questions sustain it? |
43329 | Will 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? |
43329 | Will you become the subjects of a hostile Government? |
43329 | With all these things fresh in mind, what did they mean? |
43329 | With what justice, then, can it be charged that Mr. Davis retained in command an officer proven to be incompetent? |
43329 | Would any gentleman deny this? |
43329 | Would not this undeserved exaltation have been so much unreasonable criticism and undeserved blame?" |
43329 | You are practical people, and may ask, How is that contest to be avoided? |
43329 | but,_ who offered the first aggression? |
43329 | or of South Carolina, under the counsels of Messrs. Rhett and Orr, and the_ Charleston Mercury_? |
43329 | or will you, outside of the Union, assert the equality, the liberty and sovereignty to which you were born? |
43329 | that he realized the inextinguishable nature of English hostility, or anticipated the numerous perfidies of Austria? |
17955 | Ai nt I to get some bread before I go to bed? |
17955 | Alf what? |
17955 | And did my wife sell her to anybody else? |
17955 | And how do you propose offering the bribe? |
17955 | And how much will that amount to, altogether? |
17955 | And may I ask of what nature your intercourse was? |
17955 | And what do you charge for the room? |
17955 | And what made you leave New Orleans? |
17955 | And your sister''s? |
17955 | Are you certain that the woman who has been carried to jail is your Mistress? |
17955 | Are you determined to leave home,he said,"and all its pleasures; and starve in the rebel lines? |
17955 | Besides which, what are we to do with the dirt that is dug up? |
17955 | But tell me, gal,she continued,"whar you come from?" |
17955 | But vot can I to for you dis morning? |
17955 | But what? |
17955 | But where could my wife have gone to? |
17955 | But you certain it am my mistis? |
17955 | By what means did you purchase her? |
17955 | Can I see him? |
17955 | Can you take no less, sir? |
17955 | Could nothing be done to keep her alive, if even it were as a maniac? |
17955 | Did she bring out plenty of money with her? |
17955 | Did you not hear the physician say it is my neglect that had caused you to be dying? |
17955 | Did you not hear what the physician said? |
17955 | Did your mistress-- I beg pardon-- I meant, did my wife tell you where she was going to? |
17955 | Do you call it charity to assist another situated as your wife is, particularly where her husband is far from her fighting for his country? |
17955 | Do you find this lady guilty or not guilty? |
17955 | Do you not remember me, Elsy? |
17955 | Do you think the woman who was here could have taken it? |
17955 | Doctor,she asked,"will my daughter recover?" |
17955 | Does the room suit you? |
17955 | Eva, Eva,he exclaimed,"do all these give you back to me? |
17955 | For 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? |
17955 | Goodness sakes, Auntie,interrupted Elsy,"what did you do wid de dead chile?" |
17955 | Gootness,observed that gentleman,"did you not shay I vas for to tell vy I pring dis voman up?" |
17955 | Has Elsy been here yet? |
17955 | Has he refused to let you have it? |
17955 | Have they discharged him? |
17955 | Have you a heart? |
17955 | Have you been able to speak to the sentinel? |
17955 | Have you not been able to find your mistress? |
17955 | Have you not friends there? |
17955 | How are you, Harry, my boy? 17955 How do you know that?" |
17955 | How is Mrs. Wentworth this morning, father? |
17955 | How long do you suppose she will linger? |
17955 | How much is it? |
17955 | How te tevil could it go mitout it vash taken away py somepody? |
17955 | How will you attach the rope to the wall? |
17955 | I do n''t want anything, granny,Ella answered, and remained silent for a moment, when she continued:"Granny ai nt I going to die?" |
17955 | I understand; but who is she, and her name? 17955 In case you should be going to, what?" |
17955 | Is Mr. Elder in? |
17955 | Is Mr. Swartz in? |
17955 | Is there no way by which I can discover where Mrs. Wentworth is residing at present? |
17955 | Me, sir? |
17955 | Mother ca n''t I get something to eat? |
17955 | Mother, what are you crying for? |
17955 | Mother,at last said her little infant,"why do you cry?" |
17955 | Mother,exclaimed the child, as he rose from his bed,"it is morning now; ai nt I going to get some bread?" |
17955 | My dear madam,said Mr. Awtry,"why do you give way to tears? |
17955 | My husband? |
17955 | No, I forget,she answered;"but what name did your mistis hab?" |
17955 | Oh my wifesaid Alfred,"Is this the end of our married life? |
17955 | So she is married? |
17955 | So you belonged to Mr. Wentworth of New Orleans, did you? |
17955 | Stay awhile, dearest,Alfred went on, as soon as he perceived Awtry,"Look at this man-- do you know him?" |
17955 | The money which she took, to what use was, it placed? 17955 Then I wo n''t get any bread?" |
17955 | Vat can I do mit it? |
17955 | Vat is it? |
17955 | Vat kind of security? |
17955 | Veil, I vill puy te pedstead,he said, and then enquired:"How much monish do you vant for it?" |
17955 | Vell, 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?" |
17955 | Vere can I find her house? |

17955 | Vere is te pedstead? |

17955 | Well, my good, girl, what do you wish with me? |
17955 | Well, sir, what is the price charged for the rent of one of your rooms? |
17955 | Well, then, do you plead guilty, or not guilty? |
17955 | Were you ever in this country before? |
17955 | What arrangement was that? |
17955 | What bring you to Jackson? |
17955 | What can I have the honor of doing for you this morning? |
17955 | What chile is it, Auntie? |
17955 | What could have induced him to pay me this visit? |
17955 | What do you intend doing, now the ports are blockaded, and no one can leave the country? |
17955 | What do you say to bribing one of the sentinels? |
17955 | What do you say to scaling the walls? |
17955 | What do you want with him? |
17955 | What do you wish, darling? |
17955 | What does this mean? |
17955 | What evidence? |
17955 | What induced you to steal? |
17955 | What is that verdict, gentlemen? |
17955 | What is the matter with you? |
17955 | What is your name? |
17955 | What kind a chile is de one you had at your cabin? |
17955 | What luck have you had? |
17955 | What made Mrs. Wentworth leave New Orleans? |
17955 | What news? |
17955 | What was your master''s name? |
17955 | What will you give me? |
17955 | Where 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?" |
17955 | Where is she? |
17955 | Where is your master now? |
17955 | Where will we get the means from? |
17955 | Who gave you the information? |
17955 | Who would''a believe it? 17955 Why ai nt you got any bread?" |
17955 | Why did I come here? 17955 Why do you imagine such a thing?" |
17955 | Why do you speak so? |
17955 | Why is there no bread? |
17955 | Why, how could he have arrived in our lines? |
17955 | Why, my darling? |
17955 | Why? |
17955 | Will that be enough to pay for a coffin for my child? |
17955 | Will you buy the bedstead then? |
17955 | Will you lend a small sum of money on it? |
17955 | Will you let me come a little nearer? |
17955 | Will you,he asked, speaking to the man,"be willing to wait until to- morrow before you take possession?" |
17955 | Yes, and do you know anything about him? |
17955 | Yes,Alfred answered,"but why do you ask?" |
17955 | Yes,replied Mr. Ellington,"I visited America a few years ago, but why do you ask?" |
17955 | You are not inclined to show the white feather now, are you? |
17955 | You have,answered Dr. Humphries, rather astonished at the intelligence,"where is she?" |
17955 | You say you do n''t know de name? |
17955 | You spoke my husband''s name,she said in a hoarse tone,"what of him?" |
17955 | You were not hurt, were you? |
17955 | Your companion spoke of my husband as his friend; does he know where he is at present, and if so, can I not see him? |
17955 | Accept your offer?" |
17955 | After eating for a few minutes in silence, Horace suddenly said:"Charlie, what do you think of this war?" |
17955 | And for her-- the soldier''s wife? |
17955 | And now-- but why trouble the reader with any further remarks of the past? |
17955 | Awtry?" |
17955 | But do you tink he will bring de chile home, yah, and take care ob him?" |
17955 | But how is it when the innocent suffer? |
17955 | But vot price to you charge?" |
17955 | But while we witness the guilty revelling in wealth and affluence, how often are the innocent plunged in want? |
17955 | But why describe my sufferings? |
17955 | By the way,"he continued, changing the conversation,"have you heard what has become of the supposed spy arrested in the court house?" |
17955 | By 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?" |
17955 | Can I get another bid?" |
17955 | Can you devise one by which I can get away?" |
17955 | Do they bring me happiness? |
17955 | Do they restore my angel daughter? |
17955 | Do you know why?" |
17955 | Elder?" |
17955 | Elsy curtsied as she enquired,"Shall I tell my Master''bout dis, sah?" |
17955 | For where? |
17955 | Go where? |
17955 | Has 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? |
17955 | He could not lend or give her a paltry pittance; and why, forsooth? |
17955 | Her appeal for charity had been rejected, and can we blame her if she yielded to the tempter and took the money lying before her? |
17955 | How many men are there who live in ease and comfort, while their souls are burdened with sins? |
17955 | Is it profanity to say that the eye of God had wandered from them? |
17955 | Is she raving?" |
17955 | Is this the work of God? |
17955 | Kind reader, have you ever been to New Orleans? |
17955 | Of what avail were her supplications to God? |
17955 | Of what use was the money she had committed a crime to obtain? |
17955 | Tell me Elsy,"he continued,"tell me what caused my wife to be turned out of the city?" |
17955 | That she took the money is undeniable, but why did she take it? |
17955 | These are your children?" |
17955 | Was he not of the world as man generally finds it? |
17955 | Wentworth.--"Is there anything I can do for you?" |
17955 | Wentworth?" |
17955 | Wentworth?" |
17955 | What are their sufferings? |
17955 | What can be the matter?" |
17955 | What cared he for the sighs of the desolate, the appeals of the hungry, or the tears of the helpless? |
17955 | What cared he longer for this world? |
17955 | What do you say about digging a tunnel, and escaping by that route?" |
17955 | What has God done to aid me in my misery? |
17955 | What have I gained by severing the ties of love and leaving a happy home, to struggle for the liberty of my country? |
17955 | What is that that makes man''s heart cold as the mountain tops of Kamtschatka? |
17955 | What mercy could we attribute to God, did he willingly entail misery upon the innocent, or punish them for the crimes of the guilty? |
17955 | What was de leetle gal name?" |
17955 | What were words of consolation to her? |
17955 | What will you bid for her?" |
17955 | When did you first call in a medical practitioner?" |
17955 | When he fell, pierced by the bullets of his comrades, was there not a murder committed? |
17955 | When our maidens are ravished by the hated foe and despoiled of that Virtue held sacred in Heaven, is it the work of God? |
17955 | When our temples are profaned by the bacchanalian orgies of the Northern hordes, does the Infinite invite them to desecrate His altars? |
17955 | When the creeping babe is immolated by the savages of the North, is it a dispensation of Providence? |
17955 | While they, the curse of the world, how was it with them? |
17955 | Who did you buy her from?" |
17955 | Who 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? |
17955 | Why 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? |
17955 | Why in the name of wonder will you continue to look upon the dark side of the picture? |
17955 | Why is he not here to succor the infant boy who yet remains, and who may soon follow his sister? |
17955 | Why should he care for the misery of strangers? |
17955 | and then, he added dryly,"there is one thing certain, my trunk(?) |
17955 | do you desire to marry his widow?" |
17955 | do you not know me?" |
17955 | echoed his friend,"What in the name of all that is glorious, do you require any preparations for?" |
17955 | exclaimed Alfred, raising her head and gazing fondly at the wan and emaciated features of his wife"_ is this_ all I find?" |
17955 | exclaimed Harry,"are you going to raise any more objections?" |
17955 | exclaimed Mrs. Wentworth,"where am I to go to? |
17955 | exclaimed the Doctor,"and how was it that I have heard nothing about it until now?" |
17955 | exclaimed the Doctor,"for what?" |
17955 | he answered,"I recollect you now, and vat do you vant?" |
17955 | is there on earth a spectacle so fearful to behold as_ starvation_? |
17955 | ven vill te place pe rid of all te peggers?" |
17955 | what become ob your mistis and de childen?" |
17955 | what is it? |
17955 | where is he? |
17955 | who can forget it? |
17955 | why 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?" |
34827 | But what have Congressmen done in their individual capacity? 34827 But what''s the news from Rio?" |
34827 | But, Captain, ca n''t we arrange the matter in some way? 34827 Can you make out the nationality of the ships in tow?" |
34827 | Have any of them struck us? |
34827 | How is that? |
34827 | How so? |
34827 | I suppose you''ll charge something for bringing these gentlemen on board? |
34827 | It would not pay me, then, to cruise in these seas? |
34827 | Now, 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?" |
34827 | The d----l she is,said I;"how many shots has she fired at us?" |
34827 | What does she look like? |
34827 | What does this mean? |
34827 | What is that? |
34827 | What is the news? |
34827 | What ship is that? |
34827 | What ship is that? |
34827 | What ship is that? |
34827 | What,said I,"do they come on deck?" |
34827 | Whence cometh the wind, and whither goeth it? |
34827 | Why should I not, sir? |
34827 | You are rather hard upon us, my friend,now rejoined the boarding- officer;"why should you take such an interest in the Confederate cause?" |
34827 | You surprise me,rejoined the Captain;"how is that?" |
34827 | ''Have you ever seen him?'' |
34827 | Adjudication presupposes something to adjudicate; but if there was no contraband of war, on board the_ Trent_, what was there to adjudicate? |
34827 | And if not, why not? |
34827 | And if so, in what does the difference consist? |
34827 | And if so, what business had his pennant, any more than his ensign, to be flying? |
34827 | And in what does the supposed proceeding differ from the one in hand? |
34827 | And is there any difference between escaping to the shore, and to a neutral flag? |
34827 | And that steamship, what flag did she bear? |
34827 | And then, as I stated to you, in my first letter, is not the honor of the French flag involved? |
34827 | And then, where was the Congress, and the Massachusetts legislature, and Mr. Secretary Welles, and all the"plate,"and all the"resolutions"? |
34827 | And what did Mr. Secretary Welles do? |
34827 | And what is the consequence? |
34827 | And what think you, reader, was the excuse? |
34827 | And when the Constitution was formed, to whom was it submitted for ratification? |
34827 | And why this transference from American ships to British ships? |
34827 | And why would she not have complained? |
34827 | And yet, how could I very well run away, in the face of the promises I had given my crew? |
34827 | And, then, what about the necessity for_ protecting the machinery at all_? |
34827 | As a mere general, he would have abandoned the hopeless task long ago, extricating his army, and throwing it into the field, but_ cui bono_? |
34827 | Be frank; was, or was not, the transfer of your ship a_ bona fide_ transaction?" |
34827 | Besides, who shall judge them? |
34827 | But 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? |
34827 | But has a captor the right to destroy before adjudication? |
34827 | But how does he affect the currents? |
34827 | But how is it now? |
34827 | But 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? |
34827 | But in what direction is the atmosphere now moving? |
34827 | But supposing the States to have been equally represented in those schools, what would have been the result? |
34827 | But the cloud-- how came it there, why does it remain so faithfully at its post, and what are its functions? |
34827 | But what becomes of this lighter globule of water, which has arisen to the surface, because it has been deprived of its solid matter? |
34827 | But what was I to do with it? |
34827 | But what was I to do with the prize? |
34827 | But, does it follow that I may be tried for treason? |
34827 | But,"what smoke is that we perceive, coming down the river?" |
34827 | By the way, has the reader ever remarked that land is scarcely ever antipodal with land? |
34827 | By what process was any portion of this allegiance transferred to the Federal Government, and to what extent was it transferred? |
34827 | Can this be the ultimate design of the Yankee? |
34827 | Come when it will-- we snatch the life of life; When lost-- what recks it-- by disease or strife? |
34827 | Could they have parted with it, without consenting to a merger of their sovereignty? |
34827 | Could this be the_ Alabama_? |
34827 | Did Dupont send her back to Ingraham? |
34827 | Did he not surrender his ship to me? |
34827 | Did it result from their forms of government, and must democrats necessarily be vulgarians? |
34827 | Did not each State, on the contrary, call its own convention? |
34827 | Did the North follow this example set her by the South? |
34827 | Did the captain mean to drown them? |
34827 | Did these States send three fourths of the students to those schools? |
34827 | Did they part, with the right of secession? |
34827 | Did this time correspond with the known rate of travel of the circles? |
34827 | Did we need other incitement on board the_ Alabama_, to apply a well- lighted torch to the enemy''s ships? |
34827 | Disturbed for what? |
34827 | Does any one wonder that the_ Alabama_ burned New England ships? |
34827 | Does he see rebellion and treason lurking in the conduct of these States? |
34827 | Does the fact of my prize being in British waters, in violation of the Queen''s proclamation, give it this right? |
34827 | Had Mr. Seward forgotten, when he wrote the above, the case of Dr. Franklin''s ship, the_ Surprise_? |
34827 | Had he forgotten the"Naval Bureau"which was conducted in France, by Dr. Franklin and Silas Deane, who were"stationed agents"of the Colonies? |
34827 | Had, then, the Southern States the peaceful right to dissolve the compact of government under which they had lived with the North? |
34827 | Has Congress agitated the subject at any time, in any manner, looking to a trial of the cases referred to? |
34827 | Has Congress passed any law directing how the rebels shall be tried? |
34827 | Has Congress passed any resolution requesting the President to order a military court for the trial of Davis& Co.? |
34827 | He 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? |
34827 | Here is the article:--"WHY DON''T CONGRESS ACT? |
34827 | His name? |
34827 | How are we to account for this? |
34827 | How could we respect it, in such a connection? |
34827 | How did it cease to exist? |
34827 | How did the Convention vote on this proposition? |
34827 | How is it possible to reconcile this short, explicit, and unambiguous provision with the theory I am combating? |
34827 | How we should be astonished? |
34827 | I asked if I was to be put in irons? |
34827 | I came within easy speaking range-- about seventy- five yards-- and upon asking,"What steamer is that?" |
34827 | I said to him,"Captain, your boats appear to me, to be rather deeply laden; are you not afraid to trust them?" |
34827 | If 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? |
34827 | If a ship might be violated, why not territory? |
34827 | If the_ Sumter_ were only in Bahia, where the_ Florida_ afterward was, how easily and securely the kicking might be done? |
34827 | If these were straight winds, blowing contrary to the trades, why should they not blow steadily like the trades? |
34827 | If they can not send them into neutral ports, where are they to send them? |
34827 | If we are beaten in this war, what will be our fate in the Southern States? |
34827 | If we could not defend ourselves before Richmond, could we defend ourselves anywhere? |
34827 | In the meantime, the inquiry naturally presents itself, Where is the Yankee? |
34827 | In what proportion did the States contribute it? |
34827 | Is he too busy with his internal dissensions and politics? |
34827 | Is it a bargain?" |
34827 | Is it because the two particles, as they have gyrated around their respective poles, have received a repulsive polarity? |
34827 | Is it not a fact, on the contrary, that the vote of eleven States did_ not_ bind the other two? |
34827 | Is our Government a mere rope of sand, that may be destroyed at the will of the States?" |
34827 | Is the miserable faction which has ruled the country for the last seven years determined to destroy all its prosperity, foreign as well as domestic? |
34827 | Is this consistent with the supposed wisdom of the political Fathers, those practical, common sense men, who formed the Federal Constitution? |
34827 | May it not be the same law which rides on the whirlwind, and directs the storm? |
34827 | May not this arrangement have something to do with the currents, and the water- carriers, the winds? |
34827 | Might it not be, that, after all our trials and sacrifices, the cause for which we were struggling would be lost? |
34827 | My first lieutenant now approached me, and touching my elbow, said,"Captain, had we not better throw this howitzer overboard? |
34827 | No wonder that Mr. Lincoln when asked,"why not let the South go?" |
34827 | Now what is the result? |
34827 | Oh, who can tell? |
34827 | On what ground can you undertake to make this decision? |
34827 | Or 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? |
34827 | Our question, then, will be reduced to this, Was she commissioned by a sovereign power? |
34827 | Sentinel:--"Who comes there?" |
34827 | Shall that name be tarnished by defeat? |
34827 | Shall we, too, become mongrelized, and disappear from the face of the earth? |
34827 | Should, now, a French traveller, landing in Morocco,_ in itinere_, only, from a French ship, be subject to a different rule? |
34827 | Such an export would indicate unparalleled wealth, but what is the fact? |
34827 | The Government may not supply me with powder-- why? |
34827 | The act still remaining to be atoned for, what was there to be gained, by sending the vessel in? |
34827 | The next question which presents itself for our consideration is, Was the_ Alabama_ properly commissioned by a sovereign power? |
34827 | The prisoners-- what did we do with them? |
34827 | The question now is, who formed the Constitution, not what was formed by it? |
34827 | The question now was, in what direction should we steer? |
34827 | The ships would be hundreds of miles away from the land, and where could this dust come from? |
34827 | The true, and the only just and fair criterion, is, was the act for which the arrest was made an act of war? |
34827 | The"Where- away?" |
34827 | The_ Alabama_, said he, was burning everything, right and left, even_ British_ property; would the Lion stand it? |
34827 | This is a very questionable assertion; for why did Captain Winslow confide in that Englishman? |
34827 | Under such circumstances, what think you, reader, was the subject of Mr. Gibson''s discourse? |
34827 | WAS SECESSION TREASON? |
34827 | Was I, under these circumstances, to plunge into the water with my sword in my hand and endeavor to swim to the_ Kearsarge_? |
34827 | Was Secession Treason? |
34827 | Was 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? |
34827 | Was the_ Kearsarge_ an exception? |
34827 | Was there any convention of the people of the United States in the aggregate, as one nation, called for the purpose of considering it? |
34827 | Was this one of the results which our ancestors designed, when they framed the federal compact? |
34827 | Was this the sort of experiment in government, that our forefathers supposed they were making? |
34827 | Was this the way he designed to punish them for mutiny, instead of hanging them at the yard- arm? |
34827 | We captured the_ Tonawanda_, and the question immediately presented itself what should we do with her? |
34827 | We repeat the question with which we commenced, and which is echoed by the people everywhere,''Why do n''t Congress act?''" |
34827 | What a descent have we here, from the Plantagenets to Mr. Milner Gibson? |
34827 | What can be the uses in the animal economy to which this immense quantity of oil in the head of the fish is applied? |
34827 | What could have become of Banks, and his great expedition, and what was this squadron of steam ships- of- war doing here? |
34827 | What could the fellow mean? |
34827 | What could the_ Sumter_ effect against such odds? |
34827 | What could this mean? |
34827 | What is a diplomat fit for, unless he can be a little cunning, upon occasion? |
34827 | What is the subtle influence which produces this wonderful result? |
34827 | What is to prevent it? |
34827 | What monstrous sophists we are, when interest prompts us? |
34827 | What more could a monarch do? |
34827 | What says the reader? |
34827 | What scenes does not the very sight of this refectory present to the imagination? |
34827 | What was best to be done in this changed condition of affairs? |
34827 | What was expected of me under these circumstances? |
34827 | What was to be done? |
34827 | What wonder that I felt a lover''s resentment? |
34827 | When they would talk to me about private property, I would ask to whom their ships belonged-- whether to a private person, or the Government? |
34827 | When_ will_ naughty England pay that little bill? |
34827 | Whence came the fund for the establishment of these schools? |
34827 | Whence can such a conclusion be drawn? |
34827 | Whence comes it? |
34827 | Whence this difference? |
34827 | Where was Mr. Welles''officer, that he did not come to demand it? |
34827 | Where was that great constituency, composed of the people of the United States in the aggregate, as one nation, all this time? |
34827 | Who could look into the horoscope of this ship-- who anticipate her career? |
34827 | Who could tell which these nine States would be? |
34827 | Who shall pronounce on which side the right or wrong lies? |
34827 | Who shall say that the civilized man is a greater philosopher, than the savage of the China seas? |
34827 | Why did he implore his interference, calling out,''For God''s sake, do what you can to save them?'' |
34827 | Why do n''t Congress act? |
34827 | Why might she not have been taken into some other neutral port, for this purpose? |
34827 | Why not? |
34827 | Why was this disruption of the old government regarded as a matter of course? |
34827 | Why, then, may not the Government supply me? |
34827 | With a Yankee Mandarin on board, and a good supply of opium, and tracts, what a smashing business this little cruiser might have done? |
34827 | Yes; 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. |
34827 | and did not some of the States accept it, and some of them refuse to accept it? |
34827 | and if so, on what principle? |
34827 | and secondly, Was there sufficient ground for this dissolution? |
34827 | and, secondly, Was there sufficient reason for such dissolution? |
34827 | have we no government capable of preserving itself? |
34827 | or was it the_ Hydaspes_, from India, or the_ Lady Jocelyn_ from England? |
34827 | that thou shouldst be mindful of him?" |
34827 | what was done with the"old flag"? |
34827 | what was to be done? |
34827 | what was to become of her, and her vow? |
31087 | Are you_ Union_ soldiers? |
31087 | Echo answers where? |
31087 | Stonewall Jackson? 31087 Under which King, Benzonian?" |
31087 | What authority had he for this? |
31087 | What is Randolph? |
31087 | Where is McClellan, general? |
31087 | Will not the Confederate soldiers now in Pennsylvania remember such acts of cruelty and barbarism? 31087 Will they come, when he does call for them?" |
31087 | A few more weeks, at that rate, will consume his army, and then-- peace? |
31087 | A moment after, Gen. Walker, of Georgia, came in, and addressed the colonel thus:"Is the Secretary in?" |
31087 | A safe prediction-- but what is his belief? |
31087 | A. Seddon, Secretary of War: Will you please send me, through the post- office, a passport to leave the city? |
31087 | AUGUST 24TH.--We have nothing further from Charleston, except that Beauregard threatened retaliation( how?) |
31087 | And Mr. Hotze( who is he?) |
31087 | And are they not? |
31087 | And do they not take gold and other property to the North, and thereby defeat the object of the sequestration act? |
31087 | And he supposes Bragg''s splendid victory( what did he suppose the next day?) |
31087 | And how could any of its members escape? |
31087 | And is it nothing to have her soil polluted by the martial tramp of the Yankees at Alexandria and Arlington Heights? |
31087 | And what are we doing? |
31087 | And what are we doing? |
31087 | And what are we fighting for? |
31087 | And what would become of the slaves, especially in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri? |
31087 | And will not that gallant boy in the 16th Regiment remember his mother''s fate, and take vengeance on the enemy? |
31087 | At this rate, how are we to replenish the ranks as they become thinned in battle? |
31087 | Bragg will_ probably_ be sustained by the President-- but then what will become of------, who is so inimical to Bragg? |
31087 | But can he control the State governments? |
31087 | But can he, a modest man and a Christian, aspire to such a position? |
31087 | But how can Lee achieve anything when the enemy is ever kept informed not only of his movements in progress, but of his probable intentions? |
31087 | But how can it be possible for the people of the North to submit to martial law? |
31087 | But how can they be fed? |
31087 | But how does this speak for the government, or rather the efficiency of the men who by"many indirect ways"came into power? |
31087 | But how fares it with the invader? |
31087 | But how long could he advance in that direction without being overwhelmed? |
31087 | But how long will we be allowed to remain? |
31087 | But if a forced reconstruction of the Union were consummated, does the North suppose any advantage would result to that section? |
31087 | But if he could not hold his mountain position, what can he do in the plain? |
31087 | But might they not, if this were adopted, be liable to be caught sometimes without enough ammunition? |
31087 | But suppose it should_ not_ be relieved, and a force should be sent suddenly up the James and York Rivers? |
31087 | But suppose that should be too late? |
31087 | But the gunpowder will be used to destroy the destroyer, man, and why should not the birds sing? |
31087 | But was Beauregard aware of the fact, before the opportunity ceased to exist? |
31087 | But we can not fail without more great battles; and who knows what results may be evolved by them? |
31087 | But what do they mean by the"_ nation_?" |
31087 | But what good will the crops do, if we be subjugated in the mean time? |
31087 | But what is in a name? |
31087 | But what is this"agent"to procure in the United States which could not be had by our steamers plying regularly between Wilmington and Europe? |
31087 | But what may not its ending be? |
31087 | But what were they sent to Lee for, unless he meant to give battle? |
31087 | But where are State Rights now? |
31087 | But where will this end? |
31087 | But who can foresee the future through the smoke of war, and amid the clash of bayonets? |
31087 | But why does the government issue such an order in North Carolina, when the government itself is selling, not destroying, the cotton of Mississippi? |
31087 | But will he? |
31087 | But will the President dismiss his cabinet in time to save Richmond, Virginia, and the cause? |
31087 | But will the government make itself popular with the people? |
31087 | But will the potency of his cabinet feed Lee''s army? |
31087 | But will the_ arms_ be distributed among them? |
31087 | But with flour at$ 200 per barrel; meal,$ 20 per bushel, and meat from$ 2 to$ 5 per pound, what income would suffice? |
31087 | But, then, what is the cotton business? |
31087 | Ca n''t the troops be paid? |
31087 | Can Savannah, and Charleston, and Wilmington be successfully defended? |
31087 | Can he believe the silly tale about our troops being sent from Virginia to the Carolinas? |
31087 | Can he have them? |
31087 | Can it be Gen. Cooper( Northern) who procures the appointment of so many Northern generals in our army? |
31087 | Can it be possible that the United States are ignorant of popular sentiment here? |
31087 | Can it be possible that_ he_ has influenced the President''s mind on this subject? |
31087 | Can it be possible that_ we_ have men in power who are capable of taking bribes from the enemy? |
31087 | Can it be that his hesitation is caused by the advice of the President, in his great solicitude to make the best appointments? |
31087 | Can it be that the President knows nothing of this? |
31087 | Can such a people be subjugated? |
31087 | Can such soldiers be vanquished? |
31087 | Can that be the reason his smile has faded almost away? |
31087 | Can the agents paid by the Signal Bureau be relied on? |
31087 | Can there be war brewing between the United States and England or France? |
31087 | Can they have intelligence from the West, not yet communicated to the public? |
31087 | Can they mean to cross? |
31087 | Can this be so? |
31087 | Can this be the influence of Gen. Cooper? |
31087 | Could Lee make such a blunder? |
31087 | Could a Yankee have been the inventor of the Secretary''s plaything? |
31087 | Could the Union men in the Convention, after being forced to pass the ordinance, have dealt a more fatal blow to their country? |
31087 | Could the operations beneath have produced this phenomenon? |
31087 | Could this communication be his resignation? |
31087 | Could you not ascertain for me? |
31087 | Did Pitt ever practice such things during his contest with Napoleon? |
31087 | Did he have any conception of the surprise the enemy was executing at the moment? |
31087 | Did he influence the mind of his father- in- law, G. W. Park Custis, to emancipate his hundreds of slaves? |
31087 | Did he try them? |
31087 | Did such a people ever exist before? |
31087 | Did the Continental Government ever resort to such equivocal expedients? |
31087 | Did the President know it yesterday? |
31087 | Did they really suffer pain from their wounds? |
31087 | Do they object to my acquaintance with the members? |
31087 | Does he understand that they are to fight before being exchanged? |
31087 | Does the general mean to alarm the authorities here? |
31087 | Does this mean trading cotton with the enemy? |
31087 | Does this really mean war? |
31087 | Early''s army was scattered to the winds; that the enemy had the Central Railroad( where?) |
31087 | Else why a prolongation of the war? |
31087 | Elzey and Winder are doing-- and echo answers, WHAT? |
31087 | Fort Caswell, below Wilmington, has been casemated with iron; but can it withstand elongated balls weighing 480 pounds? |
31087 | Gen. Lee writes that a scout( from Washington?) |
31087 | Gen. Maury writes from Mobile that he has seized, in the hands of Steever( who is he? |
31087 | Gen. P. telegraphs that the French steam frigate was coming up the river( what for? |
31087 | Gold was$ 70 for$ 1 on Saturday: what will it be to- day or to- morrow? |
31087 | Grant has_ used up_ nearly a hundred thousand men-- to what purpose? |
31087 | Has Hill marched his corps away to North Carolina? |
31087 | Has Hooker the genius to conceive such a plan? |
31087 | Has he been instructed on that point in reference to Gen. Price? |

31087 | to starve honest men into the Union? |

31087 | was it accidental? |
31087 | what is behind? |
31087 | would abandon it? |
31087 | would 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? |
19831 | On 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? |
19831 | Would 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? |
19831 | 324; his blockade proclamation, 324; its scheme, 324; how based, 324; its assumption of an insurrection, 325; was it an insurrection? |
19831 | Allow a President to make war? |
19831 | Allow a general of the army to make war? |
19831 | Allow an officer of the army to make war? |
19831 | Allow an unconfirmed head of a department to make war? |
19831 | And do they furnish no cause for repentance to you? |
19831 | And for what end, sir, is all this aggression? |
19831 | And here the ingenuous reader may very naturally ask, What became of all this feeling? |
19831 | And how was this to be enumerated among the high crimes which caused the colonies to sever their connection with the mother- country? |
19831 | And is it not the part of integrity and wisdom, as soon as they can, to retrace their steps? |
19831 | And still will you hesitate; still will you do nothing? |
19831 | And why has the West so often been reminded of its services upon Texas annexation? |
19831 | Are not the votes of this Convention taken on every question under the idea of independency?" |
19831 | Are there not many cases, in which the Legislature of Virginia is a party, and yet the State is not sued? |
19831 | Are these no subjects of complaint for us? |
19831 | Are they but the little evanishing clouds that flit between the people and the great objects for which the Constitution was established? |
19831 | Are we invaded? |
19831 | Are we not bound to meet events as they come before us, manfully and patriotically to struggle with the difficulties which now oppress the country? |
19831 | Are we to do nothing to restore peace? |
19831 | Are we to drift into war? |
19831 | Are we to have drum- head courts substituted for those which the Constitution and laws provide? |
19831 | Are we to have sergeants sent over the land instead of civil magistrates? |
19831 | Are we to stand idly by, and allow war to be precipitated upon the country? |
19831 | At the end of all this what will you have effected? |
19831 | But New York must be associated; and how is her concurrence to be obtained? |
19831 | But can we believe that one State will ever suffer itself to be used as an instrument of coercion? |
19831 | But did this omission of the obligation to send here the laws of the Territories work this grant of power to the Territorial Legislature? |
19831 | But how can this force be exerted on the States collectively? |
19831 | But what gained Sir Colin Campbell the opportunity to achieve those glorious results in India? |
19831 | But who are those that arraign the South, imputing to us motives of sectional aggrandizement? |
19831 | But why multiply citations? |
19831 | But why need I indulge in these reflections in proof of my proposition? |
19831 | But why not accept them with the propositions of the Confederate States on slavery as a basis of reunion? |
19831 | But why-- and what laws are to be enforced? |
19831 | But will the North agree to do this? |
19831 | But, I ask again, what power has the President to use the army and navy except to execute process? |
19831 | But, if that can not be, what then? |
19831 | But, if you had known the acts of the authorities of South Carolina, should that have prevented your keeping your faith? |
19831 | By strengthening this Government? |
19831 | By themselves or by some of the States, all of whom, according to this hypothesis, had been consolidated into one? |
19831 | By what standard do they measure it? |
19831 | By whom were the powers granted to be perverted to the injury or oppression of the whole people? |
19831 | Can it be that any of you should tread that soil and forget the great purposes for which those men died? |
19831 | Can 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? |
19831 | Can the right be admitted in that community to usurp the sovereignty over territory which belongs to the States of the Union? |
19831 | Can there be a point of pride against laying upon that sacred soil to- day the flag for which our fathers died? |
19831 | Can 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? |
19831 | Can this be a definition of sovereignty? |
19831 | Can 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? |
19831 | Can we consolidate their sovereignty and form one nation_, and annihilate the sovereignties of our States, who have sent us here for other purposes?" |
19831 | Could any assertion be less credible than that they proceeded to institute another supreme government which it would be treason to resist? |
19831 | Could any man say that this power was not retained by the States, as they had not given it away? |
19831 | Could it have been transferred to the Government of the Union? |
19831 | Could such a man be the just object of suspicion, if, when laws had been silenced, suspicion could justify arrest and imprisonment? |
19831 | Could the claim to State''sovereignty''be more completely disposed of at a word? |
19831 | Did real peace and the restoration of the States to their former rights and positions follow, as was promised on the restoration of the Union? |
19831 | Did the Carolinians attack it? |
19831 | Did the Constitution attempt to assimilate the institutions of the different States confederated together? |
19831 | Did the States agree that they never could withdraw from the Federal Union? |
19831 | Did the States surrender their sovereignty to the Federal Government? |
19831 | Did they propose to seize it? |
19831 | Did vengeance, which stops at the grave, subside? |
19831 | Do they require that, in the establishment of the Constitution, the States should be regarded as distinct and independent sovereigns? |
19831 | Do we want a new Government that is to overthrow the old? |
19831 | Do we wish to erect a central Colossus, wielding at discretion the military arm, and exercising military force over the people and the States? |
19831 | Do you pay taxes, then, to an agent, that he may destroy your property? |
19831 | Do you support him for that purpose? |
19831 | Does any man insist upon going upon the open field with deadly weapons to fight his brother on a question of courage? |
19831 | Does any man''s courage impel him to stand boldly forth to take the life of his brethren? |
19831 | Does it benefit the case? |
19831 | Does the Constitution discriminate between different kinds of property? |
19831 | Does the agriculture of the South injure the manufactures of the North? |
19831 | For proof of this, I refer to the annexed documents marked,(?) |
19831 | For what purpose must he call out this war power? |
19831 | For why declare that things shall not be done, which there is no power to do? |
19831 | For( says he) does not a power remain till it is given away? |
19831 | From what have dangers to the Union arisen? |
19831 | From whom comes the danger? |
19831 | Good or evil? |
19831 | Had the Declaration announced that the negroes were free and equal, how was the prince to be arraigned for raising up insurrection among them? |
19831 | Has it a right to determine what shall be property? |
19831 | Has it the right to say what shall be property anywhere? |
19831 | Has patriotism ceased to be a virtue, and is narrow sectionalism no longer to be counted a crime? |
19831 | Have the purposes for which our Union was formed lost their value? |
19831 | Have they made a proposal of a compact between States? |
19831 | Have they said, We, the States? |
19831 | Have we not a right to appeal to you as brethren of this Union? |
19831 | Have we so degenerated that we can no longer emulate their virtues? |
19831 | Have we so formed our Government that in this litigation we must never be plaintiffs? |
19831 | He says:"I ask, What are these principles? |
19831 | How could recoveries be enforced? |
19831 | How far are you to push us? |
19831 | How is it to be carried on? |
19831 | How is the case in Oregon? |
19831 | How shall it be done? |
19831 | How was it ever taken out of that source of all power to be given to the Federal Government? |
19831 | How was it on the other side? |
19831 | How was it that, in the course of a few weeks, it had disappeared like a morning mist? |
19831 | How 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? |
19831 | How, then, have we to provide a remedy? |
19831 | How? |
19831 | How? |
19831 | I asked in this Senate, weeks ago:"What causes the peril that is now imminent at Fort Moultrie; is it the weakness of the garrison?" |
19831 | I 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_? |
19831 | I 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? |
19831 | I wonder if this is what caused the artillery companies to be ordered here, and the militia of this city to be organized? |
19831 | If it has, from what clause of the Constitution does it derive that power? |
19831 | If it was already established, what need was there of further establishment? |
19831 | If so, then of what advantage is a compact of union to States? |
19831 | If so, what right had any soldier to destroy that armament lest it should fall into the hands of Carolina? |
19831 | If so, where is it? |
19831 | If so, who made it? |
19831 | If the Declaration of Independence be true( and who here gainsays it? |
19831 | If the States be parties, as States, what are their rights, and what their respective covenants and stipulations? |
19831 | If this action is once tolerated, where will it end? |
19831 | If, sir, the seeds of disunion have been sown broadcast over this land, I ask by whose hand they have been scattered? |
19831 | If, then, there be no such distinction or discrimination; if protection be the duty( and who will deny it?) |
19831 | In danger of what? |
19831 | In defending them, he had said, after calling for the reading of the credentials of delegates:"Can we, on this ground, form a national Government? |
19831 | In the mean time, what has been its operation? |
19831 | In the name of common sense, I ask how are we to fight in the Union? |
19831 | In this state of the case, my friends, why is the country agitated? |
19831 | In this state of the case, then, we turn and ask, What is the character of the Administration? |
19831 | In what conceivable way, then, was it lost or alienated? |
19831 | In what have we now, or ever, back to the earliest period of our history, sought to deprive the North of any advantage it possessed? |
19831 | Is a measure in which we of the minority are to receive nothing a compromise? |
19831 | Is it because our sun is declining to the horizon? |
19831 | Is it doubtful that this would lead to extravagance, if not to corruption? |
19831 | Is it enjoyed? |
19831 | Is it intended that it is not a constitutional right, because it is not granted in the Constitution? |
19831 | Is it land and houses? |
19831 | Is it meant to be a right derived from the Constitution-- a grant made in the Constitution? |
19831 | Is it not a libel upon the statesmen of that generation to attribute to their grave and solemn declarations a meaning so vapid and absurd? |
19831 | Is it not denied? |
19831 | Is it rational to suppose that the sovereign power shall be dragged before a court? |
19831 | Is it so? |
19831 | Is it taxable property? |
19831 | Is it the defect of the Federal organization, of the fundamental law of our Union? |
19831 | Is it the fault of our legislation here? |
19831 | Is it the organization of the local government? |
19831 | Is it to be expected that a compact thus broken in part, violated in its important features, will be regarded as binding in all else? |
19831 | Is it to divide the South and West? |
19831 | Is it vain boasting which renders you anxious to proclaim to the world that we buy our buckets, our rakes, and our shovels from you? |
19831 | Is it well, is it wise, is it safe, to disregard these manifestations of public displeasure, though it be the displeasure of a minority? |
19831 | Is not a declaration of war an overt act? |
19831 | Is that seen in the diminished comfort of the world? |
19831 | Is that seen in the diminished resources of the country? |
19831 | Is the reproach meant against these, my friends from the South, who advocate Southern rights and State rights? |
19831 | Is there a man here who dreads that the deliberations of this body are to be interrupted by an armed force? |
19831 | Is there a solution offered here? |
19831 | Is there an exception? |
19831 | Is there an insurrection? |
19831 | Is there any point of pride which prevents us from withdrawing that garrison? |
19831 | Is there any political power to authorize such interference? |
19831 | Is there no such case at present? |
19831 | Is there such equality between the cases that the same policy must apply to each? |
19831 | Is there wisdom, is there patriotism in the land? |
19831 | Is this agitation in the two halls of Congress, in relation to the domestic institutions of the South, no subject for complaint? |
19831 | Is this sectional organization, for the purpose of hostility to our portion of the Union, no subject for complaint? |
19831 | Is this the happy expedient that is to preserve liberty? |
19831 | Measure the consequences to us of your assumption, and ask yourselves whether, as a free, honorable, and brave people, you would submit to it? |
19831 | Mr. Chairman, why have such repeated calls been made upon the South to rally to the rescue? |
19831 | Mr. Henry''s objection was thus answered by Mr. Madison:"Who are parties to it[ the Constitution]? |
19831 | Mr. Motley thus dilates on the subject:"Could language be more imperial? |
19831 | Mr. President, is there such incompatibility of interest between the two sections of this country that they can not profitably live together? |
19831 | Nay, did they form two countries, or one country? |
19831 | Need I say I mean Calhoun? |
19831 | Now, I believe-- may I not say I believe? |
19831 | Now, what is the remedy? |
19831 | Of the Constitution, he says:"Does it call itself a compact? |
19831 | Of 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? |
19831 | Of what is the army to be composed? |
19831 | On the other hand, are they not their life- blood? |
19831 | Or is it all these combined with the people who possess them? |
19831 | Or is not the reverse exhibited? |
19831 | Or should they not find there satisfactory evidence that their past course was founded in error? |
19831 | Or was it built for the protection of Charleston Harbor; and was it armed to make that protection effective? |
19831 | Or, 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? |
19831 | Ought we not to make use of the name of the people? |
19831 | Resistance was impracticable, and none was attempted; the militia surrendered, and were confined as prisoners; but prisoners of what? |
19831 | Shall class interests control the great policy of our country, and the voice of reason be drowned in the clamor of causeless excitement? |
19831 | Shall 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? |
19831 | Shall it be then? |
19831 | Shall objects like these be endangered by the impatience of petty ambition, the promptings of sectional interest, or the goadings of fanatic hate? |
19831 | Shall the Rocky Mountains prove a dividing barrier to us? |
19831 | Shall the good of the whole be surrendered to the voracious demands of the few? |
19831 | Shall we allow this separation to be total? |
19831 | Shall 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? |
19831 | Shall we preserve and transmit it to posterity? |
19831 | She has no compromise to offer but the Constitution, and no concession or surrender to make...."Can this be done? |
19831 | Should they not immediately cease from a course mischievous in every stage, and finally tending to the greatest catastrophe? |
19831 | Such was the case of Texas; is there a parallel in Oregon? |
19831 | Suppose it was found proper for our adoption, and becoming the government of_ the people of Virginia_, by what style should it be done? |
19831 | That the Union must be preserved? |
19831 | The Constitution of the United States was formed for domestic tranquillity; and how, then, are we to fight in the Union? |
19831 | The good of mankind? |
19831 | The pertinent question that occurs is, Why was so obvious an attribute of sovereignty not expressly renounced if it was intended to surrender it? |
19831 | The proposition would be welcomed in Connecticut; and could we doubt of New Hampshire? |
19831 | The question for consideration was, What course should be adopted for the future action of the army? |
19831 | The question is, How are armies to be raised? |
19831 | The question which now presents itself to the country is, What shall we do with events as they stand? |
19831 | Then what is our policy? |
19831 | Then, my friends, are we to allow events to drift onward to this fatal consummation? |
19831 | There were laws that were to be enforced in the time of the American Revolution.... Did Lord Chatham go for enforcing those laws? |
19831 | This morning, for the first time, it has been considered; and what of encouragement have we received? |
19831 | Threats of Arrest.--Departure from Washington.--Indications of Public Anxiety.--"Will there be war?" |
19831 | Threats of Arrest.--Departure from Washington.--Indications of Public Anxiety.--"Will there be war?" |
19831 | To the calm judgment of mankind is submitted the question, Who was responsible for the war between the States? |
19831 | To what issue are you now pressing us? |
19831 | To what purpose would it be to authorize suits against States for the debts they owe? |
19831 | To whom did those arms belong? |
19831 | To whom, in fine,_ could_ the States have surrendered their sovereignty? |
19831 | Under what circumstances? |
19831 | Was an armament put into it for such a purpose? |
19831 | Was it an insurrection? |
19831 | Was it not liable to the bondholders?] |
19831 | Was it practicable?... |
19831 | Was that fort built to make war upon Carolina? |
19831 | Was this sentiment real or feigned? |
19831 | What Southern Senator, during this whole session, has attacked any portion, or any interest, of the North? |
19831 | What Southern man would wish it less by one of the Northern names of which it is composed? |
19831 | What assurance have we there for the safety of the country? |
19831 | What circumstances? |
19831 | What conclusion is to be drawn from such action? |
19831 | What course would then have remained to the Southern States? |
19831 | What does that mean? |
19831 | What is a State? |
19831 | What 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? |
19831 | What is meant by a constitutional right? |
19831 | What is the Constitution of the United States? |
19831 | What is the Executive department doing? |
19831 | What is the exception to it? |
19831 | What is the message before us? |
19831 | What new hope for mankind is to be found in written constitutions, what remedy which did not exist under kings or emperors? |
19831 | What power does Congress possess in this connection? |
19831 | What resource for justice-- what assurance of tranquillity-- what guarantee of safety-- now remained for the South? |
19831 | What right had Congress then, or what right has it now, to abdicate any power conferred upon it as trustee of the States? |
19831 | What shall we say to our people when we come to meet this state of facts? |
19831 | What strength is there in bills of rights-- in limitations of power? |
19831 | What was the condition of things? |
19831 | What was then the consequence? |
19831 | What, Senators, to- day is the condition of the country? |
19831 | What, my friends, must be the consequences? |
19831 | What, then, is the duty of the State of New York? |
19831 | What, then, is their standard? |
19831 | When before in the history of our land was it that a mob could resist the sound public opinion of the country? |
19831 | When 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? |
19831 | When, sir, did that ever happen? |
19831 | When, where, or how, has she been laggard or deserter? |
19831 | Where does he get it? |
19831 | Where does he get the"clear and undeniable"power to use the force of the United States in the manner he there proposes? |
19831 | Where is the grant? |
19831 | Where is the judge who is to sit over the court to try natural rights? |
19831 | Where is the value of constitutional liberty? |
19831 | Where was the host of men who had declared that an army marching to invade the Southern States should first pass over their dead bodies? |
19831 | Where will you go and not meet some monument to inspire such sentiments? |
19831 | Where, then, is it? |
19831 | Where, then, is there any room for a controversy in regard to the actual command, and what profit can there be in it? |
19831 | Who ever heard of a compact to which there were no parties? |
19831 | Who is to define them? |
19831 | Who 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? |
19831 | Why did I make that statement? |
19831 | Why is it that Texas is referred to, and treated as a Southern measure merely, though its northern latitude is 42 °? |
19831 | Why is it that the peace of the country is disturbed in order that one people may judge of what another people may do? |
19831 | Why is it, then, I say, that you are thus agitated in relation to the domestic affairs of other communities? |
19831 | Why may we not bring the manufacturers to the side of agriculture, and commerce, too, the ready servant of both? |
19831 | Why should we care whether they go into other Territories or not? |
19831 | Why was it not recalled? |
19831 | Why was it withheld during the intervening twenty- three days? |
19831 | Why were they seized? |
19831 | Why, then, I would ask, do we see these lengthened shadows which follow in the course of our political history? |
19831 | Why, then, have you agitators? |
19831 | Why, then, shall we talk about natural rights? |
19831 | Why, then, should we be bound to receive such petitions to the detriment of the public business; or, rather, why are they presented? |
19831 | Why, then,_ as property_, insist on holding it by an armed garrison? |
19831 | Will Mr. Lincoln disregard the international writ of_ habeas corpus_ served by Great Britain? |
19831 | Will any one ask me, then, how a State is to be held to the fulfillment of its obligations? |
19831 | Will any one suppose that Congress then meant by non- intervention that Congress should legislate in no regard in respect to property in slaves? |
19831 | Will it not destroy it? |
19831 | Will you now make an appeal to the Supreme Being, and call on Him to guarantee your observance of this_ compact_? |
19831 | Will you sit with sublime indifference and allow events to shape themselves? |
19831 | With all due allowance for their zeal, we ask, how do they decide that it is a sin? |
19831 | Would any gentleman deny this?... |
19831 | Would 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? |
19831 | Would 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? |
19831 | Would this have been to maintain the Union formed by the States? |
19831 | You are practical people, and may ask, How is that contest to be avoided? |
19831 | You know it is so, gentlemen; and yet, have we not a common country? |
19831 | You 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? |
19831 | and where are their rights, covenants, and stipulations expressed? |
19831 | but, Is this a town of my brethren? |
19831 | or who ever heard of a compact made by a single party with himself? |
19831 | or, Was Secession a Constitutional Right?"] |
22960 | Am dat so, massa? 22960 Am you Cunnel J----''s man?" |
22960 | And der yer tink dat de rest ob de Souf will jine wid Souf Car''lina, if she go at it fust? |
22960 | And do_ you_ remain on the plantation? |
22960 | And suppose he found a boat here,I suggested,"and made the shore some ways down?" |
22960 | And what are you thinking about? |
22960 | And what does it cost you to support each hand? |
22960 | And what have_ you_ to say about South Carolina? 22960 And who in h-- ll ar you?" |
22960 | Any one hurt? |
22960 | Are all the people dead? |
22960 | Are there many of these poor whites around Georgetown? |
22960 | Are you mad? |
22960 | Because 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?" |
22960 | But are not Captain B---''s negroes contented? |
22960 | But have your other aged slaves the same comforts that Aunt Lucy has? |
22960 | But how can a man live there-- how get food? |
22960 | But how did you expect to get on? 22960 But how_ could_ you hear? |
22960 | But 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?" |
22960 | But where will you and your daughters sleep? 22960 But who does your work? |
22960 | But why are you for the Union, when your neighbors go the other way? |
22960 | But would n''t you? |
22960 | But, my good friend, where would the British navy be all this while? |
22960 | But,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?" |
22960 | By tale? |
22960 | Can that be true? 22960 Can you swim, massa?" |
22960 | Careful of what? |
22960 | Dead? 22960 Dead?" |
22960 | Der ye tink Massa Davy wud broke his word, sar? |
22960 | Der yer tink, den, massa, dat dey''ll git to fightin''at Charl''son? |
22960 | Did 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?" |
22960 | Did n''t you see, massa, how yaller all dem wimmin war? 22960 Did ye? |
22960 | Did you get no trace of her in the morning? |
22960 | Did you hear what we said? |
22960 | Did you let it down on purpose? |
22960 | Do most of them take to the swamps? |
22960 | Do n''t you know massa, my boy? |
22960 | Do you find that in the Bible, Lazarus? |
22960 | Do you say that, boys;said the Colonel, turning to the other negroes;"shall he have fifty lashes?" |
22960 | Do you think Scip will bring him back? |
22960 | Do you think he is dying, Rosy? |
22960 | Do you think the white could labor as well as the black, on the rice and cotton- fields? |
22960 | Do your seven field hands produce enough''dip''to keep your still a running? |
22960 | Does Sam''s wife''smile''on the overseer now? |
22960 | Does the Colonel teach that to his negroes? |
22960 | Du with''em? 22960 From what part of the South?" |
22960 | Haint I tole you,he continued,"dat in de big city ob New York dar''m more folks dan in all Car''lina? |

22960 | Have you any children? |
22960 | Have you been here long? |
22960 | Have you read any others? |
22960 | Hello, Junius, what in creation are you doing there? |
22960 | How can Scip find him? |
22960 | How could I help it? 22960 How d''ye do, Scip_io?_"said Jim, extending his hand to him. |
22960 | How d''ye do? |
22960 | How dare you disobey me? 22960 How did you catch them?" |
22960 | How did you know that, madam? |
22960 | How do you do? 22960 How far is it to the nearest run?" |
22960 | How is it that you have lived in Georgetown five years, and have not known him? |
22960 | How is the sick boy, Colonel? |
22960 | How many have you, madam? |
22960 | How many negroes has he? |
22960 | How so? |
22960 | How was it? 22960 How would you do it-- by preaching abolition where even the niggers would mob you? |
22960 | I hard you say to massa, dat ef dey goes to war,''twill free all de niggers-- der you raily b''lieve dat, sar? |
22960 | I knows dat, Cunnel, but see dar,replied Jim, holding the paper out to his master,"do n''t dat say he''m dar? |
22960 | I thought the blacks were said to be entirely contented? |
22960 | I thought the negroes were the serfs in your feudal system? |
22960 | I''ll bet on it, Tommy; but he wo nt fool you and me, will he, my boy? |
22960 | If that is so we''d better stay, Scip; do n''t you think so? |
22960 | Is Andy Jones har? |
22960 | Is Jake much hurt? |
22960 | Is he severe with them? |
22960 | Is he? 22960 Is not the support of that class a heavy tax upon you?" |
22960 | Is that so? |
22960 | Is that you, Aunty? |
22960 | Is there any one here to help? |
22960 | Is thet all ye knows? |
22960 | Is this woman your wife? |
22960 | Is your wife a South Carolina women? |
22960 | Is your wife, up there, married again? |
22960 | Is''nt that Moye? |
22960 | Is_ she_ here? |
22960 | Jake,he said,"where are your shoes?" |
22960 | Kill harself''case har man war shot by thet han''som overseer uv your''n? |
22960 | Lor bress me, Massa K----, am dat you? |
22960 | Massa K----,said the latter, getting down and coming to me:"Whar am dey?" |
22960 | Mr. K----, will you stand by and see me handcuffed by a miserable slave? |
22960 | Never mind what_ you_ said,interrupted the Colonel, a little impatiently, but showing no displeasure;"what did_ she_ say?" |
22960 | No it doant-- do it, Aggy? |
22960 | No, nothing, Jim,replied his master;"but, stay-- hadn''t you better sleep in front of Moye''s door?" |
22960 | Not 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?" |
22960 | Oh, never mind;said the Colonel, who had recovered his coolness;"but why are all these people here?" |
22960 | Only massa and me, and de hoss, and we''m half dead wid de cold,replied Scip;"can we cum in out ob de rain?" |
22960 | P''r''aps you haint heerd on the ab''lsh''ners, Andy? |
22960 | Promised the Colonel before you went? |
22960 | Quar, that; yer an Ablisherner, arnt ye? |
22960 | Quite well, thank you, Miles,said the Colonel, with a certain patronizing air,"have you seen my man, Moye?" |
22960 | Rail- splitter? 22960 Rosin is put to very many uses?" |
22960 | Safe? 22960 Sam? |
22960 | Scip, did you know Jim before? |
22960 | Sha n''t I get well? 22960 Sort o''likely gal, thet, warn''t she?" |
22960 | Sort o''smart, Massa Davy; sort o''smart; how is ye? |
22960 | Suffer from the Yankees? 22960 Suppose the Yankees object to your setting up by yourselves, and put your ports under lock and key?" |
22960 | Tell me, Scipio,I resumed after a while,"how it is you can repeat that passage from Isaiah so well?" |
22960 | Tell me, my little man,I said:"who taught you all these things?" |
22960 | That''s the use of having a tongue, eh? |
22960 | The Colonel, then, has befriended you at some time? |
22960 | The business of nigger- catching, then, is brisk, just now? |
22960 | Then Sam got away again? |
22960 | Then free- schools and general education would destroy slavery? |
22960 | Then how do you get your butter? |
22960 | Then the other negroes know where the runaways are; do n''t they sometimes betray them? |
22960 | Then why are not_ you_ a Union man? |
22960 | Then why do you Carolinians make such an outcry about the violation of the Fugitive Slave Law? |
22960 | Then why do you keep them about you? |
22960 | Then why was he flogged? 22960 Then you have to support this man and his family?" |
22960 | Then you think the blacks would work better if free? |
22960 | Then_ why_ did you do it? |
22960 | These_ are_ unhappy times, truly,said my friend;"has any thing new occurred?" |
22960 | Thet arn''t all-- what''s th''rest? |
22960 | Very well, Ned; how are you? |
22960 | Very well,I replied, returning his grasp with equal warmth,"how are you?" |
22960 | Wal, Cunnul, how dy''ge? |
22960 | Well, I suppose not much; and you tell all you hear to the other negroes? |
22960 | Well, Jim, what is it? |
22960 | Well, Sandy, how is''Lady?'' |
22960 | Well, another time you mind what_ I_ say-- do you hear? |
22960 | Well, suppose you do; what then? |
22960 | Well, what then? |
22960 | Well,said the Colonel,"what do you think of our bacon''as it runs?''" |
22960 | Whar_ did_ you cum from? 22960 What Sam is it?" |
22960 | What boys? 22960 What brought you here, you d----d insolent hound?" |
22960 | What d''ye say? 22960 What der_ ye_ knows''bout th''ab''lisheners? |
22960 | What did she say? |
22960 | What do they go agin the South for? |
22960 | What do you suffer from the Yankees? |
22960 | What do you tell them such things for? |
22960 | What does it mean-- that fresh bullet wound, and the marks of a recent whipping? |
22960 | What does the labor of a_ full_ hand yield? |
22960 | What du the''du? |
22960 | What ef he am crazy? 22960 What effect will secession have on your business?" |
22960 | What funeral? |
22960 | What had Sam done? |
22960 | What is it, Jim? |
22960 | What is the story about, Sam? |
22960 | What is the usual proportion of sick and infirm on your plantation? |
22960 | What is your value now? |
22960 | What look, massa? 22960 What proportion of your slaves are able- bodied hands?" |
22960 | What the d-- l is the matter? |
22960 | What will he pay you? |
22960 | What will you do? |
22960 | What words do you mean? 22960 What would you do with them, if they were_ really_ free?" |
22960 | What''s that? 22960 What''s the matter?" |
22960 | What''s yer name? |
22960 | What, both gone and left you ladies here alone? |
22960 | What-- what the d----l is the matter? |
22960 | What_ is_ the whole story? |
22960 | Where are you hauling your turpentine? |
22960 | Where did you catch him? |
22960 | Where do you think Sam is? |
22960 | Where in creation have you been, my dear fellow? |
22960 | Where is Jake? |
22960 | Where is Moye? |
22960 | Where is the swamp? |
22960 | Where''s Andy Jones? |
22960 | Where? |
22960 | Which route do you think he has taken? |
22960 | Which way do you think Moye has gone? |
22960 | Who ar ye? |
22960 | Who made ye? |
22960 | Who told me so? |
22960 | Who told you that? |
22960 | Who''s looking after Sam? |
22960 | Who_ is_ Madam P----? |
22960 | Whose negroes are those, Colonel? |
22960 | Why afraid you''ll runaway? 22960 Why are you discontented? |
22960 | Why better than twenty of_ his_ niggers? |
22960 | Why did Sam run away? |
22960 | Why did he call you Scip_io_? 22960 Why did he?" |
22960 | Why did n''t_ you_, tell him? 22960 Why do n''t they run? |
22960 | Why do n''t you set them at work? |
22960 | Why do n''t you take them yourself? |
22960 | Why good at swimming? |
22960 | Why hung him? |
22960 | Why is that? |
22960 | Why not do that? |
22960 | Why not,he said,"strike at once for the end of his route? |
22960 | Why should you stay here? 22960 Why should_ you_ interfere between them and him? |
22960 | Why so, my dear fellow? |
22960 | Why so, my friend? 22960 Why so?" |
22960 | Why was he whipped? |
22960 | Why wo nt you? |
22960 | Why would he have known your name? |
22960 | Why, are not these people happy? 22960 Why, have you heard any of them speak of him?" |
22960 | Why, how much does he get? |
22960 | Why, then, do you send such men as Seward, Sumner, Wilson, and Grow to Congress? 22960 Why? |
22960 | Will de gemman please ride up to de piazza? |
22960 | Will 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?" |
22960 | Will the Yankees_ fight_, sir? |
22960 | Will you let us come in out of de rain? |
22960 | Wo nt you ax Massa K---- to a cheer? |
22960 | Wo nt you get into de carriage, massa? |
22960 | Would n''t it be better to make them go to hear the old preacher; could n''t they learn something from him? |
22960 | Would your mistress take a thousand for you? |
22960 | Yas, yas, massa,replied the negro, springing nimbly forward, and taking the horses by the bridles,"an''rub''em down, massa?" |
22960 | Yas, you fools, did n''t I tell you dat? |
22960 | Ye do n''t have no niggers thar, does ye? |
22960 | Ye like brandy, do n''t ye? |
22960 | Yes; 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?" |
22960 | You could n''t have learned_ that_ yourself; did n''t your''massa''teach you? |
22960 | You d----d nigger, do you dare to speak so to me? |
22960 | You do n''t mean to say that cows are generally worked here? |
22960 | You grew them? |
22960 | You know what_ they_ are, Jim, do n''t you? |
22960 | You say a man works better for being free; then you must think''twould be well to free the negroes? |
22960 | You tole Scipio dat, sar, and what did_ he_ tell you? |
22960 | You 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?" |
22960 | 2?" |
22960 | A great ole feller thet, warn''t he? |
22960 | After 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?" |
22960 | An''whot der ye''spoze she sed? |
22960 | And what could our little State do in a conflict with nearly thirty millions?" |
22960 | Are not their laborers overworked? |
22960 | Are there not abuses in society at the North? |
22960 | Are you sure?" |
22960 | As I approached him he extended his hand with a pleasant"How are ye, stranger?" |
22960 | As I was lighting it, he said:"Ye''ve got a good''oman, hev ye?" |
22960 | As we rode along I said to the driver,"Scip, what did you think of our lodgings?" |
22960 | At what time does the next train go up?" |
22960 | Build a free- school at every cross- road, and teach the poor whites, and what would become of slavery? |
22960 | But Sukey, whar''s th''young''uns?" |
22960 | But are you sure the slut will die?" |
22960 | But 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? |
22960 | But in this are we worse than they? |
22960 | But what am my life wuth? |
22960 | But what have you heard?" |
22960 | But_ why_ do you go for freeing the niggers?" |
22960 | By the way,"continued my host, in a jocose way,"what did you think of the preaching?" |
22960 | By- the- way,"he added,"did you not meet with some little obstruction at Conwayboro'', on your way up?" |
22960 | By--, sir, ye ai nt an ab''lishener, is ye?" |
22960 | Can Jim help you?" |
22960 | Can 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? |
22960 | Can you expect me to tend you when you are sick, if you beat a dying man? |
22960 | Can you get me a cup of tea?" |
22960 | Come, Sandy, will you go in for the pile?" |
22960 | D''ye see thet little nig thar?" |
22960 | Der yer tink we would n''t fight to be free?" |
22960 | Did he come back?" |
22960 | Did n''t I tell you to give him a hundred?" |
22960 | Did n''t de Cunnel come dar in all de storm''pressly to see dis gemman?" |
22960 | Did n''t thar big gun-- Daniel Webster-- didn''t he make mince- meat of South Car''lina Hayne on thet ar''subjec''? |
22960 | Did n''t ye say ye war one on''em? |
22960 | Did the Colonel know it?" |
22960 | Did ye ever see sech a critter?" |
22960 | Did you ever see such a look as that? |
22960 | Did you ever try to?" |
22960 | Do many of your neighbors think as you do?" |
22960 | Do n''t they steal our niggers, and haint they''lected an ab''lishener for President?" |
22960 | Do n''t you tink He''ll gib Sam a house? |
22960 | Do 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? |
22960 | Do you know him, sir?" |
22960 | Do you know what she asks?" |
22960 | Do you raise any thing else?" |
22960 | Do you realize what it would bring upon us? |
22960 | Do you require to be bowed up to heaven?" |
22960 | Do you think the darkies would fight for their freedom?" |
22960 | Does Pompey say you should do such things?" |
22960 | Does the North believe it? |
22960 | Dress nice, and make money?" |
22960 | Every individual arose from the table, and the Colonel, striding up and down the apartment, exclaimed:"Is he mad? |
22960 | Had n''t ye better show the gentleman some of your''n,''fore you go?" |
22960 | Haint you_ seed_ Massa Tommy, sar?" |
22960 | Has he not insulted you enough to make you let him alone? |
22960 | Has he really given you pledges?" |
22960 | Have you got them safe?" |
22960 | Have you not been struck with the contentment and cheerful subjection of the slaves?" |
22960 | He puts the sperit inter''i m: doan''t we see it in hosses an''critters an''sech like? |
22960 | How can the North and the South hold together when moderate men like you and me are so far apart?" |
22960 | How do you manage them without whipping?" |
22960 | How does all the folks live thar?" |
22960 | How does the man live?" |
22960 | How far is his house from here?" |
22960 | How is little June?" |
22960 | I 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?" |
22960 | I exclaimed,"and where is the village?" |
22960 | I 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?" |
22960 | I 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?" |
22960 | I noticed his clothing though bearing evident marks of a drenching, was then dry, and I inquired:"How did you dry your clothes?" |
22960 | I said;"what do you mean by that?" |
22960 | I said;"who tells you that?" |
22960 | If she were at the North she would take to pantaloons, and''stump''the entire free States; would n''t you, Alice?" |
22960 | If the poor whites realized that slavery kept them poor, would they not vote it down? |
22960 | If the wives and daughters of blacks are debauched here, are not the wives and daughters of whites debauched there? |
22960 | If these people were on a par with the farmers of New England, would it last for an hour? |
22960 | If we came to blows, would they try to excite servile insurrection among us?" |
22960 | If we pore sinners feel sorrer for him, haint de Lord''s heart bigger''n our''n, and haint he more sorrer for him? |
22960 | In the midst of it, the Colonel said to me, in an exultant tone:"Well, my friend, what do you think of slavery_ now_?" |
22960 | Is not this perfect enjoyment?" |
22960 | Is your husband away from home?" |
22960 | Jim, how dy''ge?" |
22960 | K----?" |
22960 | K----?" |
22960 | Kinder reckon tain''t, is''t?" |
22960 | Laughing 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?" |
22960 | Like to turn in now?" |
22960 | Look at him,"he continued, as the negro approached;"were flesh and bones ever better put together?" |
22960 | Mi''tey sqeemish thet, warn''t it? |
22960 | Observing it, my host said:"Aggy-- showin''yer colors? |
22960 | Observing the fall in his crockery, and the general confusion of things, my host quietly asked,"What''s to pay?" |
22960 | On the route I resumed the conversation:"So, uncle, you say the people here are getting ready for a black burying?" |
22960 | P''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? |
22960 | Putting out of view his actual loss of produce, how does the turpentine farmer feed and employ his negroes? |
22960 | Quite a place, arnt it?" |
22960 | Replying to the question, he said:"Kinder reckon I wull, Cunnel; howsomdever, I keeps the stakes, ony how?" |
22960 | Seeing this, she remarked:"Yer from th''North, sir; arn''t ye?" |
22960 | Ses I:''ye mean th''''ooman''s got ter gwo ter th''hi''est bider?'' |
22960 | Sha n''t we trail him thar?" |
22960 | She soon resumed the conversation with this remark:"Reckon yer a stranger in these parts; whar d''ye come from?" |
22960 | Should n''t we be contented?" |
22960 | Suppose they shut up your ports, and leave you with your cotton and turpentine unsold? |
22960 | Tell me, Colonel, what we will gain?" |
22960 | The 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?" |
22960 | The black meekly seated himself, when the Colonel asked:"Well, Pomp, what do you know about Jule''s going off?" |
22960 | The door of the mansion was bolted and barred; but, rapping for admission, I soon heard the Colonel''s voice asking,"Who is there?" |
22960 | The truth flashed upon me; but could it be possible? |
22960 | Then he added, after a moment''s pause,"Will you help me to get them into the wagon?" |
22960 | Then, after a pause, she added--"What d''ye''lect that darky, Linkum, President for?" |
22960 | Tiring at last of my own thoughts, I said to him:"Scip, what is the matter with you? |
22960 | Was I in South Carolina or in Utah? |
22960 | Was not the system which had so seared and hardened that man''s heart, begotten in the lowest hell? |
22960 | Was this his recollection of the reading heard in the morning? |
22960 | What am any_ slave''s_ life wuth? |
22960 | What do you mean by facing the music?" |
22960 | What do you pay for your corn, your pork, and your hay, for instance?" |
22960 | What do you say, Scip?" |
22960 | What do you think about it, Pompey?" |
22960 | What does she owe to_ you_?" |
22960 | What does your hay cost?" |
22960 | What hab we, sar? |
22960 | What if it works abuses? |
22960 | What if the black, at times, is overburdened, and his wife and daughters debauched? |
22960 | What pore darky am dar dat wudn''t hab sich a massa? |
22960 | What shall I do about Moye?" |
22960 | What shall we do with him?" |
22960 | What shall we do?" |
22960 | What white man kin be more''n dat? |
22960 | What will you do that for?" |
22960 | What''s up with him?" |
22960 | What,"addressing me,"have you seen or heard, sir, that gives you that opinion?" |
22960 | When we were seated, I said to Scip,"What induced you to lay hands on the Colonel? |
22960 | Where are we?" |
22960 | Where did you get it?" |
22960 | Where has he gone?" |
22960 | Where were you?" |
22960 | While seated at the table the Colonel asked:"Has every thing gone right, Alice, since we left home?" |
22960 | While sin here hides itself under cover of the night, does it not there stalk abroad at noon- day? |
22960 | Who fill our brothels? |
22960 | Who is here?" |
22960 | Who load our penitentiaries, crowd our whipping- posts, debauch our slaves, and cheat and defraud us all? |
22960 | Who that reflects that this country has been governed for fifty years by such scum, would give a d---- for republican institutions?" |
22960 | Who told you so?" |
22960 | Who would n''t belong to sich a Massa as dat? |
22960 | Whot''s de use ob habin''ears, ef you do n''t har?" |
22960 | Why did n''t you go then?" |
22960 | Why follow the slow steps he took in order to throw us off the track? |
22960 | Why have n''t you been to me?" |
22960 | Why have you elected a President who approves of nigger- stealing? |
22960 | Why in h-- has he come back?" |
22960 | Why is he so hard with her? |
22960 | Why not go straight on by the road?" |
22960 | Why, are they fleet of foot?" |
22960 | Will ye send fur''em? |
22960 | Will you accompany me, Mr. K----? |
22960 | With 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?" |
22960 | Would Shakspeare, had he have known it, have written of taking one''s_ ease_ at his inn? |
22960 | Would they not see that it stands in the way of their advancement, and vote it out of existence as a nuisance?" |
22960 | Yas, 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? |
22960 | Ye know the Cunnel, du ye?" |
22960 | Ye never seed one-- what d''ye''spose the''luk like?" |
22960 | Ye''r Union gal-- hey?" |
22960 | You do n''t talk to your neighbors in this way?" |
22960 | You have no wife nor child; why not go where the black man is respected and useful?" |
22960 | You raise scarcely any thing else-- what would you eat?" |
22960 | You''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?" |
22960 | am dat so?" |
22960 | and pressed as these blacks inevitably are by both hunger and idleness, those prolific breeders of sedition, what will keep them quiet? |
22960 | and why do you tolerate such incendiaries as Greeley, Garrison, and Phillips?" |
22960 | and will not a Yankee barter away the chastity of his own mother for a dirty dollar? |
22960 | are they dead?" |
22960 | but who taught you to read?" |
22960 | do you talk politics with your negroes?" |
22960 | eagerly inquired a dozen of the darkies;"and am dar great many folks at de Norf-- more dan dar am down har?" |
22960 | eh, my good fellow?" |
22960 | exclaimed my host;"gone where?" |
22960 | exclaimed the Colonel, perceptibly moderating his tone--"which ones?" |
22960 | for are they not written in the book of His remembrance-- and when he counteth up his jewels, may not some of them be there? |
22960 | have you two wives?" |
22960 | is your son, is he?" |
22960 | my dear fellow,"said the Colonel, on perceiving me,"are you stirring so early? |
22960 | or had he previously committed it to memory? |
22960 | said the Colonel;"what about Sam?" |
22960 | stammered the sleeper, gradually opening his eyes, and raising himself on one elbow,"Lord bless you, Cunnel, is that you? |
22960 | them people that go agin the South?" |
22960 | then turning to our host, said:"Captain, it is late: had we not better retire?" |
22960 | whar''s that?" |
22960 | what in---- brought_ you_ har?" |
22960 | what influence could this North County scum have against_ me_?" |
22960 | what makes you so gloomy?" |
22960 | what''s that?" |
22960 | why so?" |
27811 | A word before you leave; will you be a candidate for the legislature? |
27811 | About what time may I expect you? |
27811 | About what, Harvey? |
27811 | About what, Mrs. Davis? 27811 After all, then, you do care for him-- despite your life- long reserve and apparent indifference? |
27811 | And now, sir, what can I make or have made for you which will conduce to your comfort? |
27811 | And the reason why you did not sleep? 27811 And what have you elsewhere, Irene?" |
27811 | And 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?" |
27811 | And 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? |
27811 | And you really missed me, Queen? |
27811 | Anything else? |
27811 | Are you entirely alone? |
27811 | Are you in earnest this time? |
27811 | Are you ready to go now? |
27811 | Are you ready to return home? 27811 Are you too proud to accept a home from me?" |
27811 | Are you well? 27811 Are you, then, so very anxious to go to Virginia?" |
27811 | Are your other despatches sealed up pictorially? |
27811 | As Russell''s wife? |
27811 | At 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? |
27811 | Ca n''t you prove your innocence? 27811 Ca n''t you stay longer and talk to me?" |
27811 | Ca n''t you take us, Wright-- Miss Grey, Willis, and myself? 27811 Can I assist you, Miss Huntingdon?" |
27811 | Can I do anything for you, uncle? |
27811 | Captain Wright? |
27811 | Colonel Aubrey? 27811 Cyrus, is the doctor in his office?" |
27811 | Did father go, too? |
27811 | Did he ask to see me? |
27811 | Did you receive a letter which I sent to your room? |
27811 | Did you receive my last letter, giving an account of Mrs. Clifton''s death? |
27811 | Did you see Colonel Aubrey after he was wounded? |
27811 | Did you specify any branch of the service? |
27811 | Do n''t you feel as well as usual this evening, Uncle Eric? |
27811 | Do n''t you think, Irene, that Aubrey deserves to succeed? |
27811 | Do you intend to send me from you? 27811 Do you know anything of your servant? |
27811 | Do you know that I am dying? |
27811 | Do you regard this trial as particularly hazardous? |
27811 | Do you suppose that gravity of face is incompatible with sunshine in the heart? |
27811 | Do you suppose they can distinguish me? |
27811 | Do you think so, really? 27811 Do you think that they will not see you?" |
27811 | Do you want the money now? |
27811 | Doctor, are you busy this morning? |
27811 | Doctor, how is Electra? |
27811 | Doctor, when will you start? |
27811 | Doctor, where is your horse? 27811 Does your majesty suppose I shall be satisfied with the tip of your fingers? |
27811 | Dr. Arnold, do n''t you think you could spare that small sum without much inconvenience? |
27811 | Electra, did you see Harvey last night? |
27811 | Electra, who told you that you burdened me? |
27811 | Electra, will you come? |
27811 | Father, has Mrs. Aubrey ever injured you? |
27811 | Father, have you forgiven me? |
27811 | For what? |
27811 | Frightened-- Dr. Arnold? 27811 Good morning, Mr. Campbell; are you particularly engaged?" |
27811 | Has any intelligence been received this morning? |
27811 | Has she recovered entirely? |
27811 | Have I been so ill as to require that? 27811 Have you any engagement for this morning?" |
27811 | Have you any old linen left about the house that could be useful among the wounded? |
27811 | Have you been to Mr. Clifton''s studio? |
27811 | Have you consulted Dr. Arnold about them? |
27811 | Have you no brother? |
27811 | Have you sent for the doctor? |
27811 | Have you talked to Mr. Campbell about it? |
27811 | Have you, then, fully resolved to remain single? |
27811 | He has not come home yet; I wonder what keeps him? 27811 How are you, Uncle Eric? |
27811 | How can you identify it, Aubrey? |
27811 | How can you trifle with me, Irene? 27811 How do you know it ca n''t be helped? |
27811 | How do you know that so well? 27811 How does he appear to be, Miss Irene? |
27811 | How is Miss Huntingdon? |
27811 | How is she to- night? 27811 How long have I slept?" |
27811 | How long will you be in New York? |
27811 | How many months do you suppose it will require to complete it? |
27811 | How many orphans are there in the Asylum? |
27811 | How much longer will you sit up? |
27811 | How much would it cost to take her to New Orleans and have that celebrated oculist examine them? |
27811 | How, Irene? 27811 Hugh, why will you affect to misconceive my meaning? |
27811 | Huntingdon, what is it? 27811 I believe you thought me cold, heartless, and unfeeling then?" |
27811 | I brought you some jelly; would you like a little now, or shall I put it away in the closet? |
27811 | I hope not, Leonard; ca n''t you turn a little, and let me feel for the ball? |
27811 | I 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?" |
27811 | I suppose you have heard of the performance for to- morrow? |
27811 | If 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? |
27811 | In the name of wonder, who is that? 27811 Irene, answer me one question, dear child: what does the future contain for you? |
27811 | Irene, are we to walk different paths henceforth-- utter strangers? 27811 Irene, are you deranged? |
27811 | Irene, are you ready to go home? |
27811 | Irene, how long do you intend to keep me in painful suspense? |
27811 | Irene, shall I take you home in my buggy? |
27811 | Irene, what do you want? 27811 Irene, what does this mean? |
27811 | Irene, will my presence here aid or comfort you? 27811 Irene-- Irene, take this for me, wo n''t you, dear?" |
27811 | Is it light yet, out of doors? 27811 Is it true that her illness is attributable to nursing those people?" |
27811 | Is she here? 27811 Is that all?" |
27811 | Is 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? |
27811 | Is there no hope? |
27811 | It is bitter weather out; did you brave it for these? 27811 It would be dangerous to go to New Orleans now, I suppose?" |
27811 | Louisa, how came your brother to be a minister? |
27811 | May I ask if you are ill? |
27811 | Mr. Clifton has a spare room, Russell; why ca n''t you stay with us while you are in New York? |
27811 | Mr. Clifton, what shall I do without you? |
27811 | Mr. Clifton, would you like to have your mother brought downstairs and placed beside you for a while? |
27811 | Mrs. Davis, do n''t you feel that you will soon be at rest with God? |
27811 | My dear Irene, have you, then, no love for me? 27811 My friend? |
27811 | No; who is he? |
27811 | Not even to restore your mother''s sight? |
27811 | Now, sir, what shall I read this evening? |
27811 | Oh, do n''t you, indeed? 27811 Philip, do you know me?" |
27811 | Philip, what are you doing here? |
27811 | Pity you? 27811 Pray, what is wrong about me now? |
27811 | Russell, do you know it is midnight? |
27811 | Russell, has anything happened? |
27811 | Russell, what brings you home so early? |
27811 | Russell, what is the matter? 27811 Russell, you have brought him home; where is he?" |
27811 | Russell,''shall not the righteous Judge of all the earth do right?'' |
27811 | Russell? 27811 Shall I get you a pair of slippers?" |
27811 | Shall I go back to the office? |
27811 | Shall I read to you? 27811 Shall I speak to your aunt about this matter before I go?" |
27811 | Shall the rich and the unprincipled eternally trample upon the poor and the unfortunate? |
27811 | Shut their eyes to what? |
27811 | Sir? |
27811 | Sit down, Miss Irene; how are you to- day? |
27811 | So you prefer utter strangers to your relatives and friends? |
27811 | Suppose you had never seen me? |
27811 | Thank you, Philip; how did he behave? |
27811 | Then you admit that you have been harmed? |
27811 | Then you are going to Mobile? |
27811 | There is, of course, no light there, these war- times; but you see that tall, white tower, do n''t you? 27811 Was Russell wounded? |
27811 | Was anything done? |
27811 | Was it that horse; or how was it? |
27811 | Was your father''s name Robert? 27811 Well, Queen, what is it?" |
27811 | Well-- what is it? 27811 What are Mr. Young''s views concerning this war?" |
27811 | What business have you here? |
27811 | What did I tell you? 27811 What did they cost?" |
27811 | What do those large square boxes in the hall contain? |
27811 | What do you know of the family? |
27811 | What do you mean by that? |
27811 | What do you mean? 27811 What do you mean?" |
27811 | What do you mean? |
27811 | What do you want? |
27811 | What do you want? |
27811 | What has so changed that child? 27811 What have you done to him, Miss Huntingdon?" |
27811 | What have you done with Aubrey? 27811 What is Miss Huntingdon to you?" |
27811 | What is that for? 27811 What is the amount of that grocery bill you would not let me see last week?" |
27811 | What is the matter, Irene? 27811 What is the matter, Wright?" |
27811 | What is the tuition for her? |
27811 | What is this worth? |
27811 | What is troubling you so? |
27811 | What is what? 27811 What letter? |
27811 | What motive do you suppose prompted me to send for you on the eve of your departure? |
27811 | What object have you in starting to- night, particularly in the face of a gale? |
27811 | What progress are you making, Electra? |
27811 | What put such a ridiculous thought into your head? 27811 What use do you suppose he had for it?" |
27811 | What was the matter? |
27811 | What will you do, Russell? |
27811 | What would you do with it, Queen? |
27811 | When did you arrive here last? |
27811 | When do you expect to leave here? |
27811 | When will you leave W----? |
27811 | Where are you going, Aubrey? |
27811 | Where are you going, Miss Huntingdon? 27811 Where are you going, Russell? |
27811 | Where did you go last night when you left here? 27811 Where do you live? |
27811 | Where have you been this long time, Harvey? 27811 Where is brother?" |
27811 | Where? |
27811 | Who gave you permission to visit that house? |
27811 | Who has injured you? |
27811 | Who is it, Electra? |
27811 | Who told you that? |
27811 | Why 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?" |
27811 | Why do n''t you go to sleep, Irene? |
27811 | Why do you shrink from me, my pupil? |
27811 | Why do you want to know that? |
27811 | Why need you hurry off? 27811 Why not, father? |
27811 | Why so? |
27811 | Why so? |
27811 | Why, child? 27811 Why?" |
27811 | Why? |
27811 | Will not pure white content you, father? |
27811 | Will you have it taken to- morrow? |
27811 | Will you promise me positively that you will not go to your aunt? |
27811 | Wo 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?" |
27811 | Would you like to have Mr. Bailey come and pray for you? |
27811 | Wright, to what part are you bound? |
27811 | Yes; but where is the miniature? 27811 Yes; but why do you ask?" |
27811 | You believe that you will be happier among the marble and canvas of Italy than in W---- with me? |
27811 | You certainly do n''t mean to say that she has inherited----? |
27811 | You did not tell them the circumstances, did you? |
27811 | You do n''t think she is any worse, do you? |
27811 | You had started, then, before you knew that I was going to Europe? |
27811 | You have finished your book, I see; do n''t you want another? 27811 You know it all then?" |
27811 | You sent me no note all this time; why not? |
27811 | You think my aunt is worse? |
27811 | You will not allow me to persuade you? 27811 You would like a brother, however?" |
27811 | Your uncle objects very strenuously to such a plan, does he not? |
27811 | Accept the home which Mrs. Young would offer her, and leave him to suffer briefly, to sink swiftly into the tomb? |
27811 | After relying on yourself so long, why yield to mistrust now? |
27811 | An intolerable weight crushed her heart, a half- defined, horrible dread, and she asked, falteringly--"Are you willing to die? |
27811 | And how is it that you wear a Confederate uniform?" |
27811 | And now, how are you?" |
27811 | And what is that whole confounded crew of factory savages in comparison with her precious life?" |
27811 | Andrew, tell me the truth-- is father dead?" |
27811 | Are n''t you afraid that I will work you more unmercifully than a Yankee factory- child, or a Cornwall miner? |
27811 | Are you afraid to stay with me, and see me die?" |
27811 | Are you classical, John? |
27811 | Are you entirely out of wood?" |
27811 | Are you getting frightened, Miss Grey?" |
27811 | Are you going entirely deranged? |
27811 | Are you going to leave home?" |
27811 | Are you going to ride? |
27811 | Are you ready?" |
27811 | Are you satisfied with your wages, my honoured Shylock? |
27811 | Are you sure no letters came for me?" |
27811 | Arnold?" |
27811 | As lint, or bandages?" |
27811 | Aubrey is from W----; you know him, of course?" |
27811 | Aubrey, can you help me raise him a little?" |
27811 | Aubrey, suppose I shut my eyes to the watch transaction, and take you into my office?" |
27811 | Aubrey?" |
27811 | Be reasonable, and now tell me how you have employed yourself since we parted; what have you seen? |
27811 | Because we can not be more, shall we be less than friends?" |
27811 | Beside, who loved her as well as Henry Clifton? |
27811 | Besides, what is it to you whether he marries her or not?" |
27811 | But suppose they should seize your trunk? |
27811 | But where have you been all this time? |
27811 | But, Electra, you wo n''t leave me; surely you wo n''t leave me?" |
27811 | By the way what shall I do with you? |
27811 | By the way, Doctor, is there anything I can do for you in the sewing line? |
27811 | CHAPTER XX A CANDIDATE FOR THE LEGISLATURE"Do n''t you know that even granite millstones finally grind themselves into impalpable powder? |
27811 | CHAPTER XXIV IRENE''S ILLNESS"Do you see any change, Hiram?" |
27811 | CHAPTER XXV RECONCILED"Well, Irene, what is your decision about the party at Mrs. Churchill''s to- night?" |
27811 | CHAPTER XXXII WOMANLY USEFULNESS"Did you ring, Mas''Eric?" |
27811 | Ca n''t you spend the evening with me at Aunt Ruth''s?" |
27811 | Campbell?" |
27811 | Can I see her?" |
27811 | Can you bear to hear something unpleasant? |
27811 | Can you control yourself if I take you to him?" |
27811 | Can you give me what I ask?" |
27811 | Child, have you been sick?" |
27811 | Child, who are you? |
27811 | Conscious of your affection for Aubrey, did he doom you to your lonely lot?" |
27811 | Could you endure a wife who accepted your hand from gratitude and pity? |
27811 | Could you sit up, if I placed you on my horse?" |
27811 | Davis?" |
27811 | Dear child, what moves you so?" |
27811 | Did n''t I tell you to keep away from those people? |
27811 | Did she suspect the truth, and fear that he might presume on her charity in bygone years? |
27811 | Did you believe that I would marry Salome?" |
27811 | Did you ever know a leopardess kept in a paddock, and taught to forget her native jungles?" |
27811 | Did you ever see a contented- looking eagle in a gilt cage? |
27811 | Did you notice her face?" |
27811 | Did you suppose that I intended leaving you here for another month?" |
27811 | Do I dream, or are you indeed with me?" |
27811 | Do n''t I see how auntie labours day after day, and month after month? |
27811 | Do n''t you know, you old cynic, that women ca n''t stand such flattery as yours?" |
27811 | Do 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? |
27811 | Do those gloves suit you?" |
27811 | Do you approve the plan?" |
27811 | Do you hear what I say? |
27811 | Do you hear?" |
27811 | Do you know him, Huntingdon?" |
27811 | Do you know that he has taken him into partnership?" |
27811 | Do you suppose I intend to put up with your obstinacy all my life, and let you walk roughshod over me and my commands? |
27811 | Do you suppose that he will be willing to leave town?" |
27811 | Do you think you could hold my horse for me a little while? |
27811 | Do you want to throw yourself into the jaws of death?" |
27811 | Do you wonder at it in the present state of the country?" |
27811 | Do you wonder that I am growing desperate? |
27811 | Do you wonder that I hate that portrait? |
27811 | Do you wonder that, like a lonely child, I stretch, out my arms toward it? |
27811 | Does my walking annoy you?" |
27811 | Does not affect parties, I believe?" |
27811 | Electra Grey; and so like Robert? |
27811 | Electra is in the next room; will you go in and speak to her?" |
27811 | Electra, were I your brother, you would require no persuasion; why hesitate now?" |
27811 | Father, do you think that a woman has no voice in a matter involving her happiness for life?" |
27811 | Father, if I love them why should not I associate with them?" |
27811 | Father, wo n''t you give me the money?" |
27811 | For myself I care not, but for you, Russell-- my pride, my only hope, my brave boy? |
27811 | Give it to me?" |
27811 | Had Salome finally won her place in his heart? |
27811 | Had he, indeed, ceased to love her? |
27811 | Has Irene come home?" |
27811 | Has she no husband to take care of her?" |
27811 | Have n''t you heard of him? |
27811 | Have you a vessel here, captain?" |
27811 | Have you any fear of Eternity?" |
27811 | Have you any message? |
27811 | Have you any particular spite at my door, that you belabour it in that style? |
27811 | Have you been out in the snow?" |
27811 | Have you heard anything from Harvey since the troubles began?" |
27811 | Have you kept your promise, to live so that you could at last meet the eyes of your God in peace?" |
27811 | Have you seen him?" |
27811 | Have 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?" |
27811 | He caught the fever from his mother, and his father says wo n''t you please come over?" |
27811 | He crushed back the words; could he crush the apprehension, too? |
27811 | He drew her back to the seat, and after a short silence said slowly--"Electra, are you afraid of death?" |
27811 | He drew near and touched her cheek with his lips, saying tenderly--"How is my mother?" |
27811 | He examined it a moment, and said rather dryly--"Well, how do I know, in the first place, that it belongs to you? |
27811 | He is perfectly fascinating; do n''t you think so, Grace? |
27811 | He saw only a form darkening the doorway, and, without looking up, called out gruffly--"Well, what is it? |
27811 | He seems in trouble; but you do n''t feel like being bothered to- day, do you?" |
27811 | He smiled, and added--"Will you promise to call no one? |
27811 | He took the cigar from his lips, shook off the ashes, and asked indifferently--"What is the woman''s name? |
27811 | He took the cold little hands tremblingly in his, and endeavoured to draw her back to the hearth, but she repeated--"What has happened? |
27811 | Her 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? |
27811 | Here is a card containing her address; will you spare me the time to bring her here to- day? |
27811 | His health had improved, and the heat of summer had come; why did he linger? |
27811 | His mother watched him, and said cautiously--"Have you noticed that my eyes are rapidly growing worse?" |
27811 | How are you to- day?" |
27811 | How are you? |
27811 | How could she endure them in future, yet how reject without wounding him? |
27811 | How did he look?" |
27811 | How do you feel since your nap?" |
27811 | How have you and Louisa spent it?" |
27811 | How is Electra?" |
27811 | How is Harry?" |
27811 | How is he, sir?" |
27811 | How is the boy? |
27811 | How much shall I give?" |
27811 | How shall I tell him that Hugh is dead-- dead?" |
27811 | How should she meet it-- how should she evade him? |
27811 | How 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? |
27811 | Hugh, what will you do with yourself? |
27811 | I am going to send you to a boarding- school, do you hear that? |
27811 | I can baffle even the Paris detective, much more the lynx- eyed emissaries of Lincoln, Seward& Co. Are you satisfied? |
27811 | I can manage him well enough; and, beside, what do you care whether he breaks my neck or not? |
27811 | I see you have not finished your book yet; how do you like it?" |
27811 | I thought you disliked coffee?" |
27811 | I thought you were coming to school again as soon as you were strong enough?" |
27811 | I want to know what ails her?" |
27811 | I will tell him, and, by way of crushing his vanity, add''_ de gustibus, etc., etc., etc._''""How old is he?" |
27811 | I wonder whether it ever occurs to him that he once stood behind Jacob Watson''s counter?" |
27811 | If I am content with my lot, who else has the right to question?" |
27811 | If 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?" |
27811 | In a rickety schooner, in the teeth of a gale? |
27811 | In what form do you want it? |
27811 | Indeed I----""Mrs. Aubrey, do n''t you think it is your duty to recover your sight if possible?" |
27811 | Irene made no reply, and, watching her all the while, Electra asked--"When did you see him last? |
27811 | Irene, dearest, be generous, and tell me when will you give me, irrevocably, this hand which has been promised to me from your infancy?" |
27811 | Irene, how do you feel, child?" |
27811 | Irene, look up-- tell me-- did Leonard know this? |
27811 | Irene, will you share my future? |
27811 | Irene, your father hated her, and of course you know it; but do you know why?" |
27811 | Is he in the city? |
27811 | Is it father, or Hugh?" |
27811 | Is poverty disgrace?" |
27811 | Is such your will?" |
27811 | Is that all?" |
27811 | Is your mother at home?" |
27811 | Is your soul at peace with God? |
27811 | Knowing him as well as you do, can you suppose that I would ever have allowed him to suspect the truth? |
27811 | Le Roy, asking him to call and see you this evening?" |
27811 | Look here-- are you nervous? |
27811 | Louisa is not sick, I hope?" |
27811 | Maybe he can take us?" |
27811 | My children-- what will become of them? |
27811 | My friend, my master, will you accept it and forgive the pain and sorrow I have caused you?" |
27811 | Now are you answered?" |
27811 | Now, then, what is to pay? |
27811 | Obviously, we have a better claim upon you than anybody else; why doom yourself to the loneliness of a separate household? |
27811 | Of course you will go, sir?" |
27811 | Once more I ask you, what shall I do with my life?" |
27811 | Once more, for humanity''s sake, I ask, can you ride my horse to the rear, if I assist you to mount?" |
27811 | Or, how would you like a game of chess?" |
27811 | Pardon me if I ask, how you propose to conceal the despatches? |
27811 | Presently Russell said--"But how did you happen there, Electra?" |
27811 | Red and white and blue, certainly; but was it the ensign of Despotism or of Liberty? |
27811 | Remember Irene; who is nearer to you, she or your grandfather? |
27811 | Resting her chin in her hands she raised her eyes, and said--"Why do you not follow the doctor''s advice? |
27811 | Rising, 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?" |
27811 | Russell stood near the window, and said gently, pitying her suffering--"Electra, wo n''t you say good- bye?" |
27811 | See here, Queen; what do you suppose brought Electra to Richmond?" |
27811 | She 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? |
27811 | She saw the dim outline of a form sitting on the step, in the shadow of clustering vines, and asked--"Is that you, Philip? |
27811 | She took the whey silently, and, after some moments, said--"Doctor, have you been sitting by me a long time?" |
27811 | She turned her brown, sightless eyes toward the door, and asked in a low voice--"Who is it?" |
27811 | Sir, are you so particular about everything you buy?" |
27811 | Startled by his unexpected appearance, she recoiled a step or two and asked, rather haughtily--"When did you get home?" |
27811 | Such was the legacy of shame which Russell inherited; was it any marvel that at sixteen that boy had lived ages of sorrow? |
27811 | The captain was passing, but paused, saying in a whisper--"Is that you, Miss Grey? |
27811 | The invalid frowned, and asked impatiently--"Ca n''t you buy as many of those coarse things as you want, without toiling night and day?" |
27811 | The wounded man scowled as he recognized the voice and face, and turned his head partially away, muttering--"What brought you here?" |
27811 | There, will that do?" |
27811 | These travelled no royal road to immortality, but rugged, thorny paths; and who shall stay my feet? |
27811 | Through what sort of metamorphosis do you suppose that I have passed, that every spark of self- respect has been crushed out of me?" |
27811 | To meet me henceforth as a stranger?" |
27811 | To what do you allude?" |
27811 | Was Russell here last night?" |
27811 | Was it Grouchy or Blucher? |
27811 | Was it a spent ball?" |
27811 | Was it money?" |
27811 | What are you going to do with it?" |
27811 | What business have you with asylums, I should like to know? |
27811 | What can I do for you?" |
27811 | What can I do for you?" |
27811 | What do I care for promises? |
27811 | What do you mean by catechising me in this way? |
27811 | What do you mean by setting me at defiance in this way, you wilful, spoiled, hard- headed piece? |
27811 | What do you suppose that it is?" |
27811 | What do you want?" |
27811 | What do you want?" |
27811 | What has knotted up your forehead in that style?" |
27811 | What hope have you?--what do you live for?" |
27811 | What is her name?" |
27811 | What is it that clouds your face, my little sister?" |
27811 | What is it? |
27811 | What is it?" |
27811 | What is it?" |
27811 | What is it?" |
27811 | What is my wretched life worth now? |
27811 | What is the appointment of which you spoke?" |
27811 | What is the matter with Johnnie?" |
27811 | What is the matter with my''plight''as you call it?" |
27811 | What is the matter, Aubrey? |
27811 | What is the matter? |
27811 | What is the matter? |
27811 | What is the reason that you have grown so grey and haggard? |
27811 | What kept you out so late?" |
27811 | What kept you?" |
27811 | What number do you wish?" |
27811 | What rigmarole do you want me to repeat to Leonard?" |
27811 | What shall I do for him?" |
27811 | What shall I do with my future? |
27811 | What shall I have the pleasure of showing you?" |
27811 | What shall I tell her for you?" |
27811 | What the deuce do you want with it?" |
27811 | What time will you come home? |
27811 | When did you hear from Electra?" |
27811 | When did you hear from Leonard?" |
27811 | When do I expect to leave? |
27811 | When the assurance you have given me to- day would have sweetened the past years of trial?" |
27811 | When was he here?" |
27811 | When will you come to see me? |
27811 | Where are you going at this hour?" |
27811 | Where are you going?" |
27811 | Where are your parents?" |
27811 | Where did Robert die?" |
27811 | Where did he come from?" |
27811 | Where did you come from?" |
27811 | Where is Eric?" |
27811 | Where is father?" |
27811 | Where is he? |
27811 | Where now?" |
27811 | Where was he from?" |
27811 | Whither will you look for happiness?" |
27811 | Who belongs to your regiment?" |
27811 | Who shall dare dispute the right your lips have given me? |
27811 | Who will encourage and advise me when you go?" |
27811 | Whom have I in the world but you? |
27811 | Why are you hard and cruelly haughty only to me?" |
27811 | Why are you not wearing it?" |
27811 | Why do you ask? |
27811 | Why not strangle her heart? |
27811 | Why should I be? |
27811 | Why should n''t I go there, sir? |
27811 | Why should n''t I serve my country as well as younger men? |
27811 | Why should you wish to force this marriage on me? |
27811 | Why the d----l could not you let the child have a little peace? |
27811 | Why withhold that melancholy comfort from me?" |
27811 | Will you accede to my wishes, as any dutiful child should, or will you deliberately incur my everlasting displeasure? |
27811 | Will you accompany me?" |
27811 | Will you attend?" |
27811 | Will you be silent about Cecil?" |
27811 | Will you come with me?" |
27811 | Will you give it to me?" |
27811 | Will you go with me? |
27811 | Will you go?" |
27811 | Will you go?" |
27811 | Will you marry Hugh?" |
27811 | Will you not believe me, and calm yourself?" |
27811 | Will you not remain, to oblige me?" |
27811 | Will you please open the door?" |
27811 | Will you promise?" |
27811 | Will you sometimes go to her for my sake, and give her your friendship?" |
27811 | Will you take care of them? |
27811 | Will you watch with me the death of the year? |
27811 | Will you?" |
27811 | Will you?" |
27811 | Wo n''t you try?" |
27811 | Would not Mr. Watson lend you that little?" |
27811 | Would you like to have it bathed in cold water?" |
27811 | Writhing under his impaling eye, Mr. Watson said--"Have you applied to the witnesses referred to?" |
27811 | Yes-- yes; and he is here? |
27811 | You are good and kind, but does that prevent my feeling the truth, that you are working for me too? |
27811 | You are snow- crowned, little one; do you know it? |
27811 | You have seen Campbell, I suppose? |
27811 | You have some influence with him; will you use it in my favour?" |
27811 | You know Paragon, do you know me, Queen?" |
27811 | You wanted to break her obstinacy, did you? |
27811 | You were once dear friends; have you any message for him-- any word of kind remembrance?" |
27811 | You will give me the privilege of writing to you?" |
27811 | You will not need it soon, I hope?" |
27811 | You would not relish going up to heaven after the fashion of a rocket, would you?" |
27811 | are you, too, engaged in watching the fermentation of the political vat?" |
27811 | can I do nothing for you?" |
27811 | can you give me this consolation, without which my future will be dark indeed? |
27811 | did n''t I positively order you to keep away from that Aubrey family? |
27811 | did that idea never occur to you before?" |
27811 | do n''t I know how hard you have to work; and how difficult it is for you to get even bread and clothes? |
27811 | do n''t you hear her paddles?" |
27811 | have you fully determined on this step?" |
27811 | have you no gratitude?" |
27811 | how am I to break this to my father? |
27811 | how can you bring such grief upon me? |
27811 | how did you contrive it, Louis?" |
27811 | if any good is accomplished among those semi- savages up yonder, who is to have the credit? |
27811 | is that what you trudged into town for?" |
27811 | or do you suppose I am as deaf as a gatepost?" |
27811 | surely you are not in earnest? |
27811 | tell me how you are hurt?" |
27811 | what are you about, Irene?" |
27811 | what are you doing here? |
27811 | what do you know about tongues, I should like to be informed?" |
27811 | what have you gleaned?" |
27811 | what is it? |
27811 | what is the matter, child?" |
27811 | what is the matter? |
27811 | what will become of my poor little children when I am gone? |
27811 | where are you hurt? |
27811 | why did you not let me die, too? |
27811 | why do n''t you have a light and some fire?" |
27811 | why do n''t you speak, Russell?" |
27811 | why have you locked that rigid cold face of yours against me? |
27811 | with nobody but the servants?" |
27811 | you are ambitious of martyrdom? |
