9776 | Or in what manner are these two objects to be distinguished? |
9776 | Through the whole length of it:--and if"What is the circumstance which gives them a pleasing effect?" |
9776 | Was you without a habitation? 9776 Why do they attack us by clandestine measures? |
9776 | ''Nay, or could you yourself, my Brutus, if the whole assembly was to leave you, as it once did Curio?" |
9776 | --"And what concern need_ that_ give you,"replied Atticus,"if it meets the approbation of Brutus?" |
9776 | --"And what is that?" |
9776 | --"And what then is the merit,"said Brutus,"which you mean to ascribe to these provincial Orators?" |
9776 | --"And what think you,"said I,"of Crassus, the son of that Licinia, who was adopted by Crassus in his will?" |
9776 | --"But does there,"said Brutus,"or will there ever exist a man, who is furnished with all the united accomplishments you require?" |
9776 | --"But is it possible to doubt,"cried Brutus,"whether this was a sensible quality, or a defect? |
9776 | --"But what occasion is there,"said Brutus,"to quote the example of other speakers to support your assertion? |
9776 | --"But why,"answered I,"would you expect that I would give you my opinion of men who are as well known to yourself as to me?" |
9776 | --"Do you mean that Granius,"said Brutus,"of whom Lucilius has related such a number of stories?" |
9776 | --"Do you really think, then,"said Atticus,"that Fannius was the author of that Oration? |
9776 | --"From the sole pleasure of the ear:"--If"What the method of blending and intermingling them?" |
9776 | --"In the different quantity of our syllables:"--If"From whence their_ origin_?" |
9776 | --"In what manner?" |
9776 | --"Mighty well,"said I;"and what think you of him you have heard so often?" |
9776 | --"What do you mean,"said Brutus? |
9776 | --"What do you refer to?" |
9776 | --"What else can I think,"replied he,"but that you will soon have an Orator, who will very nearly resemble yourself?" |
9776 | --"What fashionable delicacy do you mean?" |
9776 | --"_Nobody denies it; and these are the men we imitate._"--"But how? |
9776 | --''And what is that?'' |
9776 | --If"_ Where_ is their proper seat?" |
9776 | After the usual salutations,--"Well, gentlemen,"said I,"how go the times? |
9776 | Again, if a man of vivacity takes it into his head to write this way, what self- denial must he undergo, when bright points of wit occur to his fancy? |
9776 | Be it allowed, then, that Lysias, that graceful and most polite of Speakers, was truly Attic: for who can deny it? |
9776 | But after he has thus_ invented_ what is proper to be said, with what accuracy must he_ methodize_ it? |
9776 | But as you are thoroughly acquainted with these, my Brutus, what occasion is there to explain and exemplify them? |
9776 | But if untaught custom has been so ingenious in the formation of agreeable sounds, what may we not expect from the improvements of art and erudition? |

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

6333 | have you not risen under them from poverty to prosperity? |
6333 | in this land of France where none would dare to slap the face of his fellow, this man can slap the face of the nation? |
6333 | is he frightened now or no? |
6333 | is that thing still going?" |
6333 | my gorge rises at it.--Where be your gibes now? |
6333 | quite chop- fallen? |
6333 | through a marble wilderness? |
6333 | was it personal ambition that could influence me? |
6333 | who brags of his voting against Grant? |
6333 | your flashes of merriment, that were wo nt to set the table in a roar? |
6333 | your gambols? |
6333 | your songs? |
57813 | And she was starved, of course,said a young man;"do you rue it?" |
57813 | End is there none? |

57813 | Now, my dear children,said the good priest,"where shall we put St. Patrick? |
57813 | --DANIEL WEBSTER_ How many kinds of series are there?_ Two, the commencing and the concluding. |
57813 | --EDWIN M. STANTON,_ in Sickles''trial__ Distrust of Witnesses._ Are they witnesses to be trusted with report of evidence by words? |
57813 | --EMERSON EMPHASIS_ What is emphasis?_ Any impressive utterance that arrests the attention of the listener. |
57813 | --GEORGE W. CURTIS_ Indirect Question._ When, O Catiline, do you mean to cease abusing our patience? |
57813 | A remarkable change has taken place since; but what did the wise and great men of all parts of the country think of slavery then? |
57813 | A series is often composed of qualifying words; as, What though it breaks like lightning from the cloud? |
57813 | Ah, my friends, is not the reason for the change evident to any one who will look at the matter? |
57813 | Am I mistaken in this? |
57813 | Am I of opinion, then, you will ask, that the conspirators should be set free, and that the army of Catiline should thus be increased? |
57813 | An American no longer? |
57813 | And Themistocles and the men who fell at Marathon and Plataea, think you that they are insensible to what is taking place? |
57813 | And has it come to this? |
57813 | And how are you to accomplish this? |
57813 | And how should we regard the events happening now? |
57813 | And how was this to be enumerated among the high crimes which caused the Colonies to sever their connection with the mother country? |
57813 | And is it not plain to every man? |
57813 | And now in what strains did Homer voice this theme? |
57813 | And what do you suppose will be my thoughts, if I find in this very trial any violation of the laws committed in any similar manner? |
57813 | And what is that evidence? |
57813 | And what matters it to you? |
57813 | And when in Manchester I saw those huge placards:"Who is Henry Ward Beecher?" |
57813 | And, what have we to oppose to them? |
57813 | Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? |
57813 | Are my pickaxes and shovels in good order, and am I in good trim myself-- and my sleeves well up to the elbows, and my breath good, and my temper?" |
57813 | Are there not many of us who believe the same thing? |
57813 | Are they the companions of his youth who shared with him the manly toils of the chase or the robust exercises of the palaestra? |
57813 | Are your blandishments more seducing in public than in private, and with other women''s husbands than with your own? |
57813 | As to Gabinius, Statilius, Coeparius, why should I make any remark upon them? |
57813 | Ask of the jurors whether they know Chabrias, Iphicrates and Timotheus, and learn from them why they have honored and erected statues to them? |
57813 | Brothers? |
57813 | But can we, for that reason run ahead, and infer that he will make any particular change, of which he himself has given no intimation? |
57813 | But here you must ask the defendant:"What was your resentment against your country? |
57813 | But how are speakers to do this? |
57813 | But how can a daughter hear that mother''s name without a blush? |
57813 | But how, you may ask, will you decide justly? |
57813 | But if a war should come, what damage must be expected? |
57813 | But if it is, how can he resist it? |
57813 | But what happened directly, almost immediately, afterwards? |
57813 | But when shall we be stronger? |
57813 | But who, it may be asked, will blame any severity that shall be decreed against these parricides of their country? |
57813 | But why at all these tears, these cries, this voice of lamentation? |
57813 | Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? |
57813 | Can he possibly show that it is less a sacred right to buy them where they can be bought cheapest? |
57813 | Can he, then, be willing to put his life in jeopardy? |
57813 | Can we safely base our action upon any such vague inference? |
57813 | Children? |
57813 | Could not each have made the same request to her husband at home? |
57813 | DIGGING FOR THE THOUGHT JOHN RUSKIN When you come to a good book, you must ask yourself,"Am I inclined to work as an Australian miner would? |
57813 | Did not God choose David from the sheepfolds to make him ruler of his people Israel? |
57813 | Did you think that I would say nothing of such serious matters as these? |
57813 | Do gentlemen hold the feelings and wishes of their brethren at so cheap a rate that they refuse to gratify them at so small a price? |
57813 | Do not such careers illustrate the prophecy of Solomon,"Seest thou the man diligent in his business? |
57813 | Do the concealments of which I speak still cover animosities, which neither time nor reflection nor the march of events have yet suffered to subdue? |
57813 | Do you ask me to support a government that will tax my property; that will plunder me; that will demand my blood, and will not protect me? |
57813 | Do you undertake the cause of impartiality, of integrity, of good faith and religion? |
57813 | Do you undertake the cause of the tribunals? |
57813 | Does Douglas believe an effort to revive that trade is approaching? |
57813 | Does any of you, Athenians, compute or consider the means by which Philip, originally weak, has become great? |
57813 | Does he lack organ or medium to impart his truths? |
57813 | Does he not perceive the feeling of our city towards him?" |
57813 | Does he really think so? |
57813 | Does not the event show they judged rightly? |
57813 | Does that exclude those whose blood and money paid for it? |
57813 | Does"dispose of"mean to rob the rightful owners? |
57813 | Fellow citizens, is this Faneuil Hall doctrine? |
57813 | Finally, why are there so few orators in the world today? |
57813 | For peace? |
57813 | For should we sacrifice them and their children, would this compensate for the murder of your fathers, your sons, and your brothers? |
57813 | For war? |
57813 | For what alliance has come to the state by your procurement? |
57813 | For what purpose could ye have sent for them at that period? |
57813 | For what purpose? |
57813 | For whom else have I to plead for me? |
57813 | Had the Declaration announced that the negroes were free and equal, how was the prince to be arraigned for stirring up insurrection among them? |
57813 | Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? |
57813 | Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? |
57813 | Have we no tendency to the latter condition? |
57813 | Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? |
57813 | He met my father going out, who said to him:"Are you the visitor whom the company here expect? |
57813 | Here he is in your jurisdiction: shall not his doom be death? |
57813 | How can he oppose the advance of slavery? |
57813 | How can he refuse that trade in that"property"shall be"perfectly free,"unless he does it as a protection to the home production? |
57813 | How can we best do it? |
57813 | How hast thou spent that money? |
57813 | How is any one of the thirty states to defend itself? |
57813 | How is it now? |
57813 | How is it today? |
57813 | How long is that madness of yours still to mock us? |
57813 | How many modern orators measure up to this standard set by the ancient master? |
57813 | How many of you at this moment are, in fancy, back in the dear old county of Greene? |
57813 | How then? |
57813 | How would the intimation have been received that Warren and his associations should have waited a better time? |
57813 | How, then, is this reproach to be avoided? |
57813 | I ask gentlemen, sir, What means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? |
57813 | INFLECTION_ What is inflection?_ Inflection is a bending of the voice. |
57813 | If Philip take that city, who shall then prevent his marching here? |
57813 | If my error would thus be criminal, how great would yours be if you should render an unjust verdict? |
57813 | If precedents in bad times are to be implicitly followed, why should we have heard any evidence at all? |
57813 | If the gold standard is a good thing, why try to get rid of it? |
57813 | If the gold standard is the standard of civilization, why, my friends, should we not have it? |
57813 | If we look back to the history of the commerce of this country in the early years of this government, what were our exports? |
57813 | In honoring such an one will you not dishonor yourselves and the gallant men who have laid down their lives for you in the field? |
57813 | In other causes it is usual to ask the accusers:"What is your resentment against the defendants?" |
57813 | In other words, how are you going to compel me? |
57813 | In such a case, does any one talk to me of gentleness and compassion? |
57813 | In what estimation did they hold it at the time when this Constitution was adopted? |
57813 | In what event? |
57813 | Is Philip dead? |
57813 | Is it because thou art a valiant soldier? |
57813 | Is it for his venality, for his cowardice, for his base desertion of his post in the day of battle? |
57813 | Is it not Ctesiphon who is accused, and even for him may not the penalty be moderated by you? |
57813 | Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? |
57813 | Is it to solicit that their parents, their husbands, children, and brothers may be ransomed from captivity under Hannibal? |
57813 | Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? |
57813 | Is man possessed of talents adequate to the great occasion? |
57813 | Is not the common sentiment, or if not, ought it not to be, of the great mass of our people, North and South? |
57813 | Is the doctrine to be sustained here that it is imprudent for men to aid magistrates in executing the laws? |
57813 | Is there a man so bereft of sense that he will set Leocrates free and so place his own security at the mercy of men who would abandon him? |
57813 | Is there any State in this Union which has contributed so much to the honor and welfare of the country? |
57813 | Is this a body of witnesses that are to be trusted to report words, that are the issues of life, with certainty and accuracy? |
57813 | Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? |
57813 | Is this the spirit in which this government is to be administered? |
57813 | It is in fact simply this: Has the civil magistrate a right to put down a riot? |
57813 | Men are continually asking each other, had Lovejoy a right to resist? |
57813 | Moreover, consider it[ in this point of view]: if we have been islanders, who would have been more impregnable? |
57813 | Moved not to introduce men who were come for the purpose of conferring with you? |
57813 | Mr. President, has it come to this? |
57813 | My father? |
57813 | Now what is the use of telling us that? |
57813 | On what ground, Dicaeogenes, canst thou ask the jury to give a sentence in thy favor? |
57813 | On what occasion, then, do you show your spirit? |
57813 | Or some other ally? |
57813 | Or tell me, do you like walking about and asking one other, Is there any news? |
57813 | Or was it because scourging is a severer penalty than death? |
57813 | Ought it not to be so? |
57813 | Patrick?" |
57813 | Phocians? |
57813 | QUESTIONS_ How many kinds of questions are there?_ Two. |
57813 | Roll the stone from the grave and what shall we see? |
57813 | Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? |
57813 | Shall we put him in a boat sailing over the golden lake when the angels are calling? |
57813 | Shall we put him where the golden light plays around the golden city? |
57813 | Shall we put him where the sapphire river rolls around the throne of the Almighty? |
57813 | Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? |
57813 | Shall we therefore make a law prohibiting the council and the people hereafter from passing bills and decrees? |
57813 | Shall we try argument? |
57813 | Should we abandon these men too, and Philip reduce Olynthus, let any one tell me what is to prevent him marching where he pleases? |
57813 | Should we deprive them of their property, would this indemnify the individuals whom they have beggared, or the State which they have plundered? |
57813 | So thought Palmyra-- where is she? |
57813 | Such being human nature, am I to be tried and judged by the standard of my predecessors? |
57813 | Take God out of the country and what have we? |
57813 | Take God out of the home and what have we? |
57813 | That noble youth suffered for excess of bravery; and do you hesitate what sentence to pass on the most inhuman of traitors? |
57813 | The cowardice, shall I call it? |
57813 | The falling inflection should also be given all direct questions that are earnest appeals; as, Will you_ please_ forgive me? |
57813 | The falling inflection should be given a direct question such as, Has the gentlemen done? |
57813 | The need is here, but where are the orators? |
57813 | The question now is, did he act within the Constitution and the laws? |
57813 | The questions are here, but where are the orators capable of making those questions clear to the masses? |
57813 | Thebans? |
57813 | Then are you not ashamed that the very damage which you suffer, if he had the power, you dare not seize the moment to inflict on him? |
57813 | Then what prevents your being deprived of everything, yea, of the government itself, according to such argument? |
57813 | This last word was scarcely out of his mouth when some one cried out:"The Tammany Tiger?" |
57813 | This might be aptly answered by putting another question, How did other men become public speakers? |
57813 | This right of equality being, then, according to justice and natural equity, a right belonging to all states, when did we give it up? |
57813 | To such indignities, O bravest of men, how long will you submit? |
57813 | Was I further to see three hundred Athenians perish undeservedly, the city involved in calamity, and the citizens suspicious of one another? |
57813 | Was it because the Porcian law forbids it? |
57813 | Was it intended to render you indignant at the conspiracy? |
57813 | Was it my duty to guard the petty interests of the state, and have sold our main interests like these men? |
57813 | Was not the"Lord of life and all the worlds"for thirty years a carpenter at Nazareth? |
57813 | Was this the object of my ambition; and is this the mode by which a tribunal of justice reconciles contradictions? |
57813 | Well, what was the result? |
57813 | Were we not fighting against that majesty? |
57813 | What am I to be? |
57813 | What are the causes? |
57813 | What are we to think then? |
57813 | What are you going to do? |
57813 | What assistance in money have you ever given, either to the rich or the poor, out of public spirit or liberality? |
57813 | What avails it to have conquered them in the field, if you be overcome by them in your councils? |
57813 | What barricade of wrong, injustice, and oppression has ever been carried except by force? |
57813 | What called forth the Licinian law, restricting estates to five hundred acres, but the unbounded desire of enlarging estates? |
57813 | What can show more evidently the contempt in which he holds you, or the confidence which he reposes in others? |
57813 | What concern, domestic, Hellenic, or foreign, of which you have had the management, has improved under it? |
57813 | What did the Tory party do for the colonies? |

57813 | What galleys? |
57813 | What helped him then almost to surprise you in a voluntary snare? |
57813 | What in the world are you good for? |
57813 | What inference can you draw from these facts other than that I am an innocent man? |
57813 | What is it that gentlemen wish? |

57813 | What is to become of the navy? |
57813 | What is to become of the public lands? |
57813 | What is to remain American? |
57813 | What malice did you bear your fellow citizens? |
57813 | What motive could I have had? |
57813 | What motive, that even common decency will not allow to be mentioned, is pretended for this female insurrection? |
57813 | What states are to secede? |
57813 | What succors, what acquisition of good will or credit? |
57813 | What terms shall we find, which have not already been exhausted? |
57813 | What the Cineian law, concerning gifts and presents, but that the plebeians had become vassals and tributaries to the senate? |
57813 | What was the effect of this, men of Athens? |
57813 | What was their agreement? |
57813 | What would become of Missouri? |
57813 | What would they have? |
57813 | What, but arguing, some in support of the motion of tribunes; others contending for the repeal of the law? |
57813 | What, sir, was the conduct of the South during the Revolution? |
57813 | What, then, Athenians, when will you act as becomes you? |
57813 | What, then, were the statements made by Aeschines, through which everything was lost? |
57813 | What, then, will you take? |
57813 | What, think you, was the reason? |
57813 | When do you shine out? |
57813 | When has a battle for humanity and liberty ever been won except by force? |
57813 | When is there to be an end of that unbridled audacity of yours, swaggering about as it does now? |
57813 | Where are the men to solve those problems? |
57813 | Where is the eagle still to tower?--or is he to cower, and shrink, and fall to the ground? |
57813 | Where is the flag of the Republic to remain? |
57813 | Where is the line to be drawn? |
57813 | Where is the man that dreads a patriot grave? |
57813 | Where is the sting of death when a hero falls for his country? |
57813 | Where then is the man who will vote to clear him? |
57813 | Where, then, was the imprudence? |
57813 | Where? |
57813 | Wherein, then, lie the hopes of the masses? |
57813 | Who can now wonder, judges, that he deceived me, a private individual, when he so notoriously deluded you all in your common assembly? |
57813 | Who could have imagined that four years could make that stupendous difference? |
57813 | Who is he that will show his sympathy with crime that shows malice aforethought? |
57813 | Who is so foolish-- I beg everybody''s pardon-- as to expect to see any such thing? |
57813 | Who that is Greek does not know that they took one Tyrtaeus for their general? |
57813 | Who would dare, however, from this, to accuse the people of Athens of a sordid economy? |
57813 | Who would not prefer the perils of Evagoras to the lot of those who inherited kingdoms from their fathers? |
57813 | Why did you rage with unbridled fury against the state itself?" |
57813 | Why did your fathers give to the land her name? |
57813 | Why do I mention this? |
57813 | Why do I not make a figure, distinguished with gold and purple? |
57813 | Why does he not tell us what he is going to do if he fails to secure an international agreement? |
57813 | Why is he then so disquieted? |
57813 | Why is it that within three months such a change has come over the country? |
57813 | Why stand we here idle? |
57813 | Why this change? |
57813 | Why, could there be greater news than a man of Macedonia subduing Athenians, and directing the affairs of Greece? |
57813 | Why, it may be said, do you mention all this now? |
57813 | Why, what should I have done? |
57813 | Why, what would be the result? |
57813 | Why? |
57813 | Why? |
57813 | Why? |
57813 | Why? |
57813 | Will it be the next week, or the next year? |
57813 | Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every home? |
57813 | Will she join the_ arrondissement_ of the slave states? |
57813 | Will the gentleman venture that argument before lawyers? |
57813 | Will you behold your villages in flames, and your harvests destroyed? |
57813 | Will you die of hunger on the land which your sweat has made fertile? |
57813 | Will you look on while the Cossacks of the far North tread under foot the bodies of your fathers, mothers, wives, and children? |
57813 | Will you not then punish this scoundrel, now that you have him in your power? |
57813 | Will you not, then, awake to action? |
57813 | Will you see a part of your fellow citizens sent to the wilds of Siberia, made to serve in the wars of tyrants, or bleed under the murderous knout? |
57813 | Would not a man whose life was really upright so speak out; only a knave who assumes the garb of virtue would talk as you do? |
57813 | Would she, had our struggle for liberty failed, have considered that we fought for what we believed to be right? |
57813 | Would that man ever have had a favorable hope of his own safety, if he had not conceived in his mind a bad opinion of you? |
57813 | Would the justice of our opposition have been considered? |
57813 | Would ye have the judges set aside a verdict obtained by fair means, and put me a second time in jeopardy of my life for the same offense? |
57813 | Yet his proposal appears to me, I will not say cruel( for what can be cruel that is directed against such characters? |

57813 | _ Does it consist of force alone?_ No. |
57813 | _ From what source is the speaker to take his illustrations?_ From all sources: history, books, his own experience, and, best of all, nature. |
57813 | _ How are the contrasts to be brought out?_ By means of inflection and emphasis. |
57813 | _ How can this be accomplished?_ By bringing into use all the muscles that act on the lungs, particularly the abdominal muscles and the diaphragm. |

57813 | _ How is one to obtain an effective delivery?_ By close observation, hard study, and diligent practice. |

57813 | and for what end? |
57813 | and that, at a crisis of such danger to the republic and my own character, I would consult anything rather than my duty and my dignity? |
57813 | demanded the angel again,"And it is this that awes thy soul?" |
57813 | did you come forward to punish and proclaim what you now charge me with? |
57813 | has he_ completely_ done? |
57813 | his army deserted? |
57813 | his province abandoned? |
57813 | or ordered the Manager not to assign them places at the theatre? |
57813 | shall he not serve warning to others? |
57813 | some man may exclaim; do you move that this be a military fund? |
57813 | that by extending clemency to a traitor he will lay himself open to the retribution of heaven? |
57813 | that out of pity for Leocrates he will take no pity on himself, when his choice may mean death at the hands of the foe? |
57813 | that the consul was plundered and betrayed? |
57813 | the holy nature and obligations imposed on him by lot violated? |
57813 | was such eloquence directed? |
57813 | what ammunition? |

57813 | which of you is so simple as not to know that the war yonder will soon be here if we are careless? |
57813 | will not the judges be influenced by the accusation, by the evidence, by the universal opinion of the Roman people? |
