الصفحة 118 - THAT PRAISES are without reason lavished on the dead, and that the honours due only to excellence are paid to antiquity, is a complaint likely to be always continued by those, who, being able to add nothing to truth, hope for eminence from the heresies of paradox; or those, who, being forced by disappointment upon consolatory expedients, are willing to hope from posterity what the present age refuses, and flatter themselves that the regard which is yet denied by envy, will be at last bestowed by...
الصفحة 116 - Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous but grievous : nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruits of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
الصفحة 13 - Post went so far as, in an article reflecting severely upon Cheetham and Duane, to admit the following squib into its columns : — " Lie on Duane, lie on for pay, And Cheetham, lie them too; More against truth you cannot say, Than truth can say 'gainst you.
الصفحة 35 - It is a vocation which gives an insight into men's motives, and reveals by what influences masses of men are moved, but it shows the dark rather than the bright side of human nature, and one who is not disposed to make due allowances for the peculiar circumstances in which he is placed is apt to be led by it into the mistake that the large majority of mankind are knaves. It brings one perpetually in sight, at least, of men of various classes, who make public zeal a cover for private interest, and...
الصفحة 13 - He was brought, mortally wounded, to his sister's house in town ; he was laid at the door, the bell was rung, the family came out, and found him bleeding and near his death. He refused to name his antagonist, or give any account of the affair, declaring that everything which had been done was honorably done, and desired that no attempt should be made to seek out or molest his adversary.
الصفحة 23 - May following, a bill prepared for that purpose became a law. It was warmly opposed in the Evening Post, and the course of Mr. Webster, who had formerly spoken with great ability against protection, but who had now taken his place among its supporters, was animadverted upon with some severity. That gentleman, in a letter to Mr. Coleman, justified his conduct by saying that the protective system was now the established policy of the country, and that taking things as they were, he had only endeavored...
الصفحة 23 - Sands, a man of wit and learning, whose memory is still tenderly cherished by numbers who had the good fortune to know him personally. He entertained it favorably at first, but finally declined it. A majority of both Houses of Congress were in favor of protective duties, and the Evening Post, at that time, was the only journal north of the Potomac which attempted to controvert them. In the northern part of the Union, it was only in certain towns on the seacoast that a few friends of a freer commercial...
الصفحة 13 - Hamilton, in the twentieth year of his age — " murdered," says the editor, " in a duel." The practice of dueling is then denounced as a " horrid custom," the remedy for which must be "strong and pointed legislative interference," inasmuch " as fashion has placed it on a footing which nothing short of that can control." The editor himself belonged to the class with which fashion had placed it upon that footing, and was destined himself to be drawn by her power into the practice he so strongly deprecated....
الصفحة 93 - It cannot be doubted that the substitution of a "system of preparation," without the promise of a day, for the worthless promise of a day without "a system of preparation" would be the gain of the substance of resumption in exchange for its shadow. Nor is the denunciation unmerited of that improvidence which, in the eleven years since the peace, has consumed 4,500 millions of dollars, and yet could not afford to give the people a sound and stable currency.
الصفحة 32 - The book press of the country, about this time, had begun to pour forth cheap reprints of European publications with astonishing fertility. Few works but those of English authors were read, inasmuch as the publisher, having nothing to pay for copyright to the foreign author, could afford to sell an English work far cheaper than an American one written with the same degree of talent and attractiveness. The Evening Post was early on the side of those who demanded that some remedy should be applied...
