James: (Hands spread wide apart in astonished perplexity:) "Is it
possible?"
Philip has laid both hands on his breast, and leaning toward Jesus
says, "Lord, is it I?"
At the other end, one is leaning forward, his hands resting on the
table, to catch the next words; one starting back, confused and
confounded.

[52] The writer of this article recalls a scene which occurred in
his presence in the United States Senate early in 1851. Mr. Clay was
speaking of the antislavery agitators and of the Free-Soil party, and
said, with much bitterness, "We have put them down,--down,--down, where
they will remain; down to a place so low, that they can never get up
again." John P. Hale, never at a loss for a reply, immediately arose
and said, "The Senator from Kentucky says that I and my friends have
been put down,--down,--down, where we shall have to stay. It may be
so. Indeed, if the Senator says so, I am afraid it _must_ be so. For,
if there is any good authority on this subject, any man who knows by
his own personal and constant experience what it is to be put down,
and to be kept down, it is the honorable Senator from Kentucky." Mr.
Clay's aspirations had been so often baffled, that this was a very keen
thrust. The writer spoke to Mr. Hale shortly after, and he said, "I do
not think Mr. Clay will forgive me that hit; but I could not help it.
They may have got us down, but they shall not trample upon us."
[53] O'Connell, in an album belonging to John Howard Payne, writes this
sentence after his name.

Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant
preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

book and on the masthead of the Journal itself.
Page 46: "generalties" was spelled that way in the original book and in
some copies of "The Poestaster" itself.
Page 220: Greek transliteration in curly braces was added by
Transcriber.
Page 309: Opening quotation mark before "unfailing good sense" was
added by Transcriber.
