Edmund Randolph and Madison had seen it through a glass darkly. But with them all, the thought had beqn vague and unde- fined, shifting and uncertain. In Hamilton's consciousness it became a living thing — a vision of light and glory. He only of all the Wise men realized the peril and the possi- bility of the great occasion. He only understood the past, comprehended the present, and divined the future. He saw as clear as day the one great fact that as between a con- solidated Union and no Union... at all there vi^as no mid- dle ground. He saw that sovereignty is one and indivis-^ ible; and that to talk of sovereign States in a sovereign Union was to utter a political paradox. And so he laid the axe at the root of the tree. He said, Down -with the Statp Alexander Hamilton. 29 He said, Up -with the Nation. He neither winced nor stammered. He neither balked nor trembled. He neither paled nor faltered. He walked straight up to the bar of greatness with the step of a conqueror. In the folly and dissensions, the truckling and mental reservations, the cross-purposes and cowardice of the hour, he struck boldly for the soHd ground.
