Should they succeed in dissolving the Union, what would they accomplish thereby?
But the anti-republican pamphlets of Kotzebue increased in number and gained a fatal influence upon the minds of rulers.

A striking instance of it occurred at about the end of the last century. It was at that time there appeared among us one of the most original and singular personages to whom America has given birth.
