If you suspect me of ever seeking, or even wishing, to sow dissension between yourself and my ill-fated cousin, now no more, you are mistaken. I ever sought the happiness and union of you both. And yet, Maltravers, you then came between me and an early and cherished dream. But I suffered in silence; my course was at least disinterested, perhaps generous: let it pass.
The passions of the two parties were roused; the Jews and Pagans, of whom the town was full, exasperated things by their mocking derision. The dissension spread: the whole country became convulsed. In the hot climate of Africa, theological controversy soon ripened into political disturbance.
But as they had begun their course by an act which they knew to be wrong, it was not likely that their future would be happy and prosperous; the sweet flowers of peace and content do not spring from the bitter root of sin, "neither do men gather grapes of thorns nor figs of thistles." Thus we need not wonder that trouble and dissension seemed to follow everywhere the ill-fated crew of the Bounty.
Notwithstanding that he was their good comrade and did them no harm, Unk-to-mee once more sowed dissension among the animals, and messages were sent into all quarters of the earth, sea, and air, that all the tribes might unite to declare war upon the solitary man who was destined to become their master.

The colony, however, such is the weakness of man, such the degeneracy of his nature, was doomed to dissension. Bigotry, from which no communities or individuals are fully free, drove some of the best men from the limits of the colony.
If the slave-trade should cease altogether, the slaves will pass by degrees into the class of free men; and society, being reconstructed, without suffering any of the violent convulsions of civil dissension, will follow the path which nature has traced for all societies that become numerous and enlightened.
Europe to-day lies debilitated and uncured, while Asia and Africa see in this a standing incitement to rash dreams and violent action. Such is the situation to-day: an East, torn by the conflict between new and old, facing a West riven with dissension and sick from its mad follies.
A recent and tremendous inundation had swept away their miserable homes, and even the trees of the forests, and had thus rendered them still more dissatisfied with their gloomy abodes. The island was deserted of its population. At about the same period a civil dissension among the Chatti a powerful German race within the Hercynian forest resulted in the expatriation of a portion of the people.
