"No, indeed," he exclaimed, "it is the salus populi." And he added, "Suprema Lex." "Not for me," I said. I continued, "I would not kill a child to save a people." "Cato did so." "Jesus did not do so." And I added,
A more tenable explanation, at all events, is that just suggested, the disintegration of mythologies by the mixture of tribes. A part of the Roman religion the worship of such abstractions as Fides, Fortuna, Salus, Concordia, Bellona, Terminus even looks like a product of the intellect posterior to the decay of the mythologies, which we may be pretty sure were physical.
When the Quirinal is called -collis agonalis-, "hill of sacrifice," it is so designated merely as the centre of the religious rites of the Hill-Romans. Mars quirinus, Sol, Salus, Flora, Semo Sancus or Deus fidius were doubtless Sabine, but they were also Latin, divinities, formed evidently during the epoch when Latins and Sabines still lived undivided.
The voices of the choristers rose higher, triumphantly: "Genitori, genitoque, Laus et jubilatio, Salus, honor, virtus quoque, Sit et benedictio." Oh, that is more than any patience can endure! God, Who sittest on the brazen heavens enthroned, and smilest with bloody lips, looking down upon agony and death, is it not enough? Is it not enough, without this mockery of praise and blessing?
Not by acts only, but by constant speeches, full at once of grimness and humor, did Cato struggle against the degeneracy of his time . He concluded his period of office with a self-laudatory harangue, and assumed the title Censorius, while his statue was placed in the temple of the goddess Salus with an inscription affirming that he had reformed the Roman nation.
Virtus porro ac ferocia subjectorum ingrata imperantibus: et longinquitas ac secretum ipsum quo tutius, eo suspectius. Ita, sublata spe veniae, tandem sumite animum, tam quibus salus, quam quibus gloria carissima est.
He is a guardian of the interests of the nation; he is the parliamentary trustee of the people; he is bound to look to their interests as a whole, for by the people he understands, not those who bawl the loudest about their rights, but those also who trust the maintenance of their privileges and their interests to parliament, in silent faith. He never forgets the salus populi.
To the Senate: In compliance with the resolution of the Senate requesting the President of the United States "to communicate to the Senate copies of the commission appointing Samuel Gwin register of the land office at Mount Salus, in the State of Mississippi, in the recess of the Senate in 1831, and of the commission appointing the said Gwin to the same office in the recess of the Senate in 1832, and also a copy of the opinion of the Attorney-General of the United States in relation to said last-mentioned commission, and also the opinions, if any, of former Attorneys-General in similar cases, and copies of the commissions which may have issued in like cases, if any, under former Administrations," I transmit herewith the papers called for.

"Curtius, who has secured the public health, should be rewarded." "Curtis occidit Clementem. Curtius auro Donandus, per quem publica parta salus." Nor was this all. Pasquin declared, that, on occasion of Clement's death, a bitter strife arose between Pluto and Saint Peter as to which should receive the Pope: "Noluit hunc coelum, noluit hunc barathrum."
