The answer to that question was well stated many years ago by one of the most subtle moralists of love. Both sexes, with their errors and their good intentions, very equally fulfil the ends of nature. We may well believe that in either of the two divisions of the human species the sum of evil and that of good are about equal.
The investigations of modern writers have entirely thrown down the scaffolding on which the airy fabric, so delightful to poets and moralists, reposed. The departing Emperor stands no longer in a transparency robed in shining garments. His transfiguration is at an end.
All governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed. Let moralists and dreamers say what they would, the course of America was toward mastery of the whole of North America. Yes, and there was Oregon. If the Louisiana Purchase of 1804 did not include Oregon, what of the Lewis and Clark expedition; what of the founding of Astoria by Mr.

He had no horror of slavery, knowing exactly what it was; on the other hand he was falsely accused of trying to plant it in the territories. He was hunted and traduced! Moralists prattled of his lack of a moral nature; envy tracked him, shooting from ambush! He had become rich and famous. He was the first man in his party. He was young and full of power. He might be President.
It is only by a reasonable synthesis of structure and function of what is called the traditional with what is called the ideal that the moral life can retain its authority without losing its reality. Many, even among those who call themselves moralists, have found this hard to understand.
"Against all the rules," women and other moralists would say. Well, the fact is, a man's heart knows no rules.
But that which seems so innocent to us had been looked on in a different light by the stern moralists of that house. "By Jove!" said the Honourable George to his cousin, Mr Gresham, "I wonder how Dumbello likes it." "It seems to me that Dumbello takes it very easily."
