It promises an end of the disunion of classes which poisons political life and threatens our industrial system with destruction. It promises an end to commercialism, that subtle falsehood that leads men to appraise everything by its money value, and to determine money value often merely by the caprices of idle plutocrats.
It therefore became a fashion among the beauties of Paris to wear round their necks kerchiefs of the finest lace studiously disarranged; and these kerchiefs were called Steinkirks. In the camp of the allies all was disunion and discontent. National jealousies and animosities raged without restraint or disguise. The resentment of the English was loudly expressed.
There are many causes which conduce to this partial distribution. In one country manners are not minutely schooled, women being held of secondary account, and men content without subtlety; in another, life is in itself too primitive to devise the artifices of refinement; in a third, the fundamental disunion between the mind and the physical organism is prevented by the kindly hand of nature.

Without knowing it, she leant to Quaker-Catholicism, the name assumed for her religious principles by Caroline Fox Quaker-Catholicism having direct spiritual teaching for its distinctive dogma. "What are you thinking about?" Arthur Brock said suddenly from the bed. Beth started.
In this emergency those extremists in the South who offset the Abolitionists at the North fell back upon the appalling threat of disunion, which could hardly be regarded as an idle extravagance of the "hotspurs," since it was substantially certain that the Senate would never admit California with her anti-slavery Constitution; and thus a real crisis seemed at hand.
He was the son of Jackson in the principle of no disunion, and he was the son of Jefferson in the principle of popular sovereignty. The talk turned to Mr. Polk.

These two talked of Mr. Polk's record as a Congressman from Tennessee and later as Governor of the state.
