Hercules (search for this): article 2
lax, from dependence upon the flattering tale it told, and the consequences were nearly fatal. We hardly need repeat the fable of the countryman who called upon Hercules to draw his wagon out of the mud. The sort of hope that we indulged in last year was analogous to that of the countryman. We stood with folded arms and called on Hercules, and Hercules would not come. That kind of hope which is placed in our own exertions is the hope we ought to encourage. It is that which swells the fury of the soldier when he goes into battle and makes him irresistible. It is hope of assistance from distant quarter, some remote contingency. It is based upon Hercules would not come. That kind of hope which is placed in our own exertions is the hope we ought to encourage. It is that which swells the fury of the soldier when he goes into battle and makes him irresistible. It is hope of assistance from distant quarter, some remote contingency. It is based upon heart and his own strength, and he knows they will go. Self-reliance is the true upon which to found all hopes of success.-- two men of equal strength engage in a fisticuffs.

It is vain to say that the hope of assistance from abroad will not relax our energies. It has done it before, and it will do it again. In the war of the first Revolution the year after the alliance with France, our hopes were so high, and our energize so much relaxed, that it was very near proving fatal to the cause of independence. And so it was last year with the Confederate States. We wish our countryman to avoid as such for the future, and for that reason we want them against groundless rumors of . Recognition must come, as the Enquirer says. But, in our opinion, it will come when we have established our independence without it and not until then. If England would not acknowledge us a year and a half ago, when the Yankee had no navy, and a very small army, why is she to acknowledge us now, when the Yankees have a powerful navy of ironsides and 1,000,000 me

my undertake to make any distinction between them and any other class of our fighting men, to life for life, upon every prisoner our hands. We are glad to learn from the statements of the New York Chamber of Commerce that the Confederates have several other formidable vessels in course of preparation, besides these which have already spread such consternation throughout Yankeedom. We trust they may harass Yankee commerce upon every seas and make a speedy prey of their rich argosies of California and the Indian.

Our Government should elevate its most powerful energies to this means of harassing the enemy and of building up a strong navy.

Our fleet ships, where they cannot fight them can easily escape them, and when they cannot carry off their prizes, can sink them, which is just as bad for the Yankees. Let us hear some more groans from the Chamber of Commerce.
Maury (search for this): article 4

No man on this continent has as enviable a fame throughout the limits of the civilized world. His name is familiar as a household word in all the seats of science and all the courts of Christendom. The moral weight of his character is equal to the grand influence of his intellect. Wherever he goes be will make friends for his country and for himself.
