LETTER I. ON THE OVERTURES OF PEACE. My Dear Sir, --Our last conversation, though not in the tone of absolutedespondency, was far from cheerful. We could not easily account for someunpleasant appearances. They were represented to us as indicating thestate of the popular mind; and they were not at all what we should haveexpected from our old ideas even of the faults and vices of the Englishcharacter. The disastrous events which have followed one upon another ina long, unbroken, funereal train, m...oving in a procession that seemed tohave no end, --these were not the principal causes of our dejection. Wefeared more from what threatened to fail within than what menaced tooppress us from abroad. To a people who have once been proud and great, and great because they were proud, a change in the national spirit isthe most terrible of all revolutions. I shall not live to behold the unravelling of the intricate plot whichsaddens and perplexes the awful drama of Providence now acting on themoral theatre of the world.
