Pollio had stood close to Calvus as well as to Caesar, and had witnessed the revulsion of feeling against Cicero's style which continued to move in its old leisurely course even after the civil war had quickened men's pulses. Messalla and Pollio were the dictators of prose style during this period. We find Vergil, therefore, in a peculiar position.
The title, Gaucho, is applied to the descendants of the early Spanish colonists, whose homes are on the Pampa, instead of in the town, to the rich estanciero, or owner of square leagues of cattle, in common with the savage herdsman whom he employs, to Generals and Dictators, as well as to the most ragged Pampa- Cossack in their pay.
This nation was founded by leaders who understood that power belongs in the hands of the people. They planned for the future. And so must we here and around the world.

If they want dictators, and will not obey the President, they will have to organize outside of the army. I have now a new commander for the Army of the East who seems to be doing well. I hope he may continue as he began. He won the battle of Gotlenburg and broke the rebel army to pieces. 'I think, said he, 'that Gen. Meador should have followed up his victory; but perhaps not.
Roman emperors were dictators and their retention of authority was increasingly decided by the legions which were willing and able to fight for the perpetuation and extension of their authority.
