They did not dream that a Fate above them, of which they were the blind instruments, was using them, their plans and their projects, to build up the reputation of a new and great spirit, before whose superior fortunes theirs should bow, like the genius of Anthony before that of Octavius. It has happened with the last as with the first of American rulers who planned the conquest of Mexico. When old Velasquez, the governor of Cuba, in 1520, projected the invasion of the empire of Montezuma, his g...rand desire was to procure a general to execute his will, sufficiently competent for that purpose, but not famous, — oh, no! — an obscure and modest man, and so perfectly destitute of ambition as to be willing to fight and conquer in the name and for the benefit of Velasquez merely, without any selfish aspirations of his own. The result was that Velasquez chose the humble Cortes, as the agent to win his laurels; and we know how it all ended, immortal renown for Cortes, contempt and oblivion for Velasquez.
