See to what the war has driven two of the most 39 famous men of the nation : one wished to " cap ture or slay a Mexican, " the other could encourage the volunteers to fight a war which he had de nounced as needless, "a war of pretexts, " and place the men of Monterey before the men of Bunker Hill ; each could invest a son in that un holy cause. You know the rest: the fathers ate sour grapes and the children's teeth were set on edge. When a man goes on board an emigrant ship reeking with filth a...nd fever, not for gain, not for " glory, " but in brotherly love, catches the contagion and dies a martyr to his heroic benevo lence, men speak of it in corners and it is soon forgot ; there is no parade in the streets ; Society takes little pains to do honor to the man. How rarely is a pension given to his widow or his child ; only once in the whole land, and then but a small sum. But when a volunteer officer for of the humbler and more excusable men that fall we take no heed, War may mow that crop of " vulgar deaths " with what scythe he will falls or dies in the quarrel which he had no concern in, falls in a broil between the two nations, your newspapers extol the man, and with martial pomp, " sonorous metal blowing martial sounds, " with all the honors of the most honored dead, you lay away his body in the tomb.
