No where and at no time, especially in a community of such extent, has a civil contest of this description been urged with so much moderation, — such uniform regard, on both sides, for the whole- some restraints of order and law, — such tenderness for human life. Compare the history of these divis- ions with that of those which distracted the ancient Republics, or the modern free states of Italy, and the Netherlands. Compare the manner in which the controversy was conducted here, with that in w...hich substantially the same controversy, — between the great principles of Liberty and Law, — was carried on at the same time, in France, England, or any 40 other part of Europe. In the general respect which was here habitually felt for order and life, — in the mutual courtesy which prevailed in public and private discussions, — a few slight aberrations from decorum were magnified into mighty matters ; but the worst excesses that occurred here would hardly have been thought worth notice in the newspapers of any other country.
