That is done. The echo of cannon from ocean shore to the Rocky Mountains proclaims it accomplished. How much is such success worth? I suppose you will not claim that Mr. Lincoln is better than Washington. As only Abolition telescopes have dared to discover any spots on that sun, certainly, while Mr. Everett lives and the Ledger is printed, no one will presume to say there
