Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord. ISAIAH xxvi. 1-10. 'This song' is to be interpreted as a song, not with the cold-blooded accuracy proper to a scientific treatise.
The time of execution, I think, should be at the time of the breaking up of the ice in the Wabash, and before the lakes open. The interval, I am told, is considerable.
