When the Rot|ia Commonwealth— nearly two thousand years since—was at the height of its glory and its power, at the period when (Tosar ant} j'umpey and An thony were her soldiers, and names as il lustrious as Cicero and ilortensius and Sal ; lust adorned her literary annals, when her I armies had triumphed in Asia and Africa, 1 and the then known world, almost, was | at her feet, one of those mighty conspira cies broke out, not infrequent in great States where power tempts ambition, which, but for the genius and courage of Cicero, j would have destroyed the liberties and peo ple ol Rome, Need wc remind our read j ers ol the famous, or rather the infamous, I Catalipc Conspiracy, a plot which will ever j be, to all ages, the very synonym of audac ity and wickedness, almost sublime in their character, overmatched at last, however, by eloquence and patriotism. As something not irrelevant to tlie times | in which we live, we propose briefly to re , count the chief features in this gigantic 111 j and marked attempt to overthrow, lor sel fish aims, the liberties of a great Common wealth ; we propose to remind those who would rest in supine indifference, under the illusion that the liberties of a people can take care of themselves, that freedom as often perishes through lack ol care and vigilance on the part ut those who are con . stituted its defenders, as well as by the di- J rect attacks of selfish ambition. The first of the two called the ' Cataliue | Conspiracies' brok.e oqt about sixty-five years before the date of the Christian era. and was caused by the disqualification of ; Cataiine, the descendant of an ancient pa | trician family, as a candidate for the con t'-ulship. The purpose then contemplated was to slay their successful rivals—tho new • Consuls—Gotta and Torquatus Failing in j this attempt, Cataiine then determined to i organize a more extensive conspiracy.— j The .time was propitious to his schemes, j Rome was lull of men of desperate for i tunes and eager for any change %'hich might bring them wealth and considera tion, the Roman populace were restless and discontented, and ready to follow at, the bidding of almost any demagogue, whilst the soldiers of Seylja, having squandered ! the wealth gotten in the wars' of Asia, ' . hoped to profit anew in those scenes of j : blood which in other lands had given them riches and pow.er. Among sueh men Cataiine found plenty : of followers, and some, too, of consular dig nity—those who bad held progiinent posi tions in the State. The first step toward , hoped-for success on the part of Cataiine was to obtain one of the two Consularships j —his .old fellow conspirator, Anfronius, the ether. In this they were doomed to disap ' pointment, as they were beaten by Cicero and Antonius. Made more eager by the ; disappointment, Cataiine fell to work to gain adherents in all parts of Italy, espe- i i cially amongst the veterans of Scylla, by ; the aid of Manlius. Rut Cicero, by vari- ' ous ingenious schemes, kept himself ad- : j vised of their plans, and at length, openly in the Senate, accused Cataliue lor his con templated treachery to the State, a charge, j of course, treated by Cataiine in his usual j way, with audacious and contemptuous de -5 nial. Once more, as the time came around, j Cataiine was rejected for the office of Con sul, and Cicero, advised of bis plaps, charged him —adducing the proofs—with designing the destruction of tbe Common wealth. Cataiine attempted, with his usu- | al insolent audacity, to defend himself, but his words were drowned by the shouts of | 1 traitor' and 1 parricide' buried upon him by the whole assembly, and he thereupon retired from the Senate, and soon alter I fropj tb£ city. At this time there was no ! Standing army in Rome, nor any regular ■ guards within the city, but on the discov ery of this terrible conspiracy a strong gar rison was placed in the Palatium, which was the highest hill ip Rome, and served as a citadel, and at the same time parties j of citizens were ordered to patrol the j streets, under the command of the inferior magistrates, to prevent the conspirators from setting fire to the city in the night, j It was then the famous decree was pas sed, which for the time invested the Con suls with power, military and civil, that WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1861. ~ i | ■ 1 IIE CONSULS SHALL TAKK CARK THAT ,| 1 THE REPUHLIC RECEIVES MI DKTRI - £ JIE.NT.' The Roman Consuls had but, little real : power in their hands, being compelled al ' most constantly to refer their affairs to the j Senate, whose orders they were obliged to execute. Rut in extraordinary cases pow j er was conferred by the Senate upon them to do whatever was thought requisite, with out the advice of the Senate, and this in eluded the raising of armies lor public de fence. "We have compiled the above from the English authorities on the subject, and we i propose now, in as brief a manner as pos sible, to give passages from Cicero's four fatuous orations against Cataiine, in the or der in which they occur—passages, as we venture to think, applicable to the present period in the history of our own Republic, j leaving our readers to run their own par allels or draw their own inferences ironj j what is presented. Cicero began : j llow far, O Cataiine, will thou abuse our ! patience? * * Art thou nothing daunted j by the nocturnal watch posted to secure Pal ! ! atiuin? nothing by the city guards? nothing ' ; by the consternation of the people? nothing . . by the union of all the wise and worthy citi zens? nothing by the Senate's assembling iu j this place of strength? nothing by the looks ! and countenances of all here present? seest j thou not that all thy designs are brought to ! I light? that the Senators are thoroughly ap- ' | prized of this conspiracy? Alas, for our de- ! | generacy ! Alas, for the depravity of the | ' times! The Senate is apprized of all this; ! the Consul beholds it; yet the traitor lives, j ! Lives, did I say? lie even comes into the j Senate; he shares in the public deliberations. ; * Could that illustrious citizen Patlius Scipio, Sovereigfi Pontiff, hut invested with | no public magistracy, kill Tiberius Gracchus | i for raising some slight commotions jn the Com- t : inonH'ealth;andshajl we Consuls sufferCataline j to live, who aims at laying waste the world with ! j fire and sword? 1 omit, as too remote, the ex- j ample of Q. Servilus Ahala, who with his own I I hand slew bpurius Millius for plotting a revo lution in the State. Such, such was the virtue j of this Republic in former times, that her brave i sons punished more severely a factious citi | zen than the most inveterate enemy. A de cree once passed in the Senate enjoining the Consul L. Optimus to take care that the Com monwealth received no detriment! The very same day Cains Gracchus was killed for some slight suspicions of treason, though descend ed of a father, grandfather, and ancestors all j , eminent for their services to the State. * A camp is formed in Italy, on the very j ( borders cfEtruria, against' the Common ' ' wealth. The enemy increase daily in num j hers. At the same time we behold their j General and leader within our walls; nay, in j the Senate House itself, plotting daily some | intestine mischief against the State. * 1m ■ mortal gods! what country dp we inhabit? i what city do we belong to? what Government , |do we live under? Here, here, conscript fa- ■ ' i thers, within these wails and in this assent j bly, the most awf.ii and venerable on earth, j , ■ there are men vim meditate niy ruip and | yours, the destruction of this city, and cmse ! • qiientlv of the world itself. * j And now, conscript fathers, that 1 may oh j , j tiate and remove a complaint which my t i country might, with some appearance of jus ■ tree, urge against me, attend diligently to j ' what 1 am about to say, and treasure it up in j your minds and hearts; for should my conn . try, which is much dearer to me than life, ] I should all Italy, should the whole State thus accost me: 'What art thou about, Marcus . Tullius? Will you suffer a man to escape ; j out of Rome whom you have discovered to he • ( j a public enemy? whom you see ready to en- ' ter on a war against the State? whose arrival ) the conspirators wait with impatience that , they may put themselves under his conduct ? the prime author of the treason? the contriver | and manager of the revolt? the man who en i lists all the slaves and ruined citizens he can find? will you suffer him to escape as or.e | rather sent against the city than driven from j , it?' * I)o the laws relating to the punish- : ] mcnt of Roman citizens hold you in awe ? I ( Certainly traitors against their country can j have no claim to the privilege of citizeus. | j Are you afraid of the reproaches of posteri ty? * When Italy shall he laid desolate j with war, her cities plundered, her dwellings . , on fire, can you then hope to escape the flames | J of public indignation?' * Now, I am per- ! sutided that when ho (Cataiine) is once gone ; ] into Manlius' camp, whither he actually de- I j i sigus to go, ncue can be so silly as not to see , i that there is a plot; none so wicked as not to j acknowledge it; but when he has thrown him | self into rebellion, and carried out his friends i I ajono; with him, and drawn together the ! ' profligate and desperate from all parts of the : ( ) empire, not only this ripened plague of the . ( Republic, but the very root and seed of all I our evils will be extirpated with him at once, j lii bis second oration Cicero deals prin- i cipally with Cataline's associates in crime, 1 Lentulus, Cethegus and others, left be- : ' ! hind in the city to carry out the designs ' ;of Cataiine. Cicero continues : i At length, Romans, have we driven, dis- ] i carded and pursued, with tho keenest ap- 1 I proaches, to the very gates of Rome, L. Cat- i aline, intoxicated with fury, breathing mis i j chief, impiously plotting the destruction of 1 ! his country and threatening to lay waste the 1 I city with fire and sword. * * * In driv- < ! ing him from the city we have forced his most i ! advantageous post. We shall now, without j. ! opposition, carry on a just war against an f open enemy. We have effectually ruined the £ man by driving hini frum his secret plots into open rebellion. * * * I could wish he had likewise carried with him those whom I £ ; see fluttering in the forum, sauntering about 1 the courts of justice, aud even taking their £ : places in the Senate. * * * To tne the c ; absence of Cataiine alone seems to have res- j tored fresh beauty and vigor to the Coinmou ! tyashh. * * * Rut why do I speak so 1 much about one enemy ? An enemy, too, 1 who has openly proclaimed himself such, and I ■ whom I no longer dread, since there is now a , } wi>U between ns. Shall I say nothing of i those who dissemble their treason, who con tinue at Rome and mingle in our assemblies? With regard to these, indeed, I am less intent on vengeance than to reclaim them, if possi ble, from their errors and reconcile them to . the Republic. Nor do 1 disc.ver any difficul ty in the undertaking if they will but listen to my advice, for first I will show you, citi zens, of what different sorts of men their for ces consist, and then apply to each, as far as 1 am able, the most powerful remedies of per suasion and eloquence. "The first sort consists of those who, having great debts, hut still greater possessions, are so passionately fond of the latter that they cannot hear the thought of infringing them. I This, in appearance, is the most honorable class, for they are rich, but their intention and aim is the most infamous of all. Art i tluiu distinguished by the possession of an estate, houses, money, slaves, and all the conveniences and superfluities of life, and dost thou scruple to take from thy posses ! sions in order to add to thy credit? for what is it thou accepted? Js it war? and dost thou hope thy possessions will remain unviolated amidst a universal invasion of property? * " The next class consists of those who, though oppressed with debt, yet hope for pow j er, and aspire to the chief management of ■ public affairs, imagining they shall obtain those honors by throwing the State in con fusion which th y despair of during its tran quility. * * * "But 1 ought not to run the parallel fur ther or compare your other resources, pre parations and defences to the indigenoe and j nakedness of that revolt. But, if omitting ! all these advantages of which we are provi j ded and lie destitute, as the Senate, the Ro ! man Knights, the people, tfie city, the pub j lie revenues, all Italy, all the provinces, for i cign States; I say, if omitting all these, we ! only compare the contending parties between j themselves, it will soon appear how very low ; our enemies havp reduced." We now come to the third oration. By means of an understanding with the Am bassadors of the Alloborgians, u warlike people from Gaul, settled in the north of Italy, and subject to Rome, all the proofs of the conspiracy were made complete, the conspirators having attempted to make this | people their allies. By this means a qua- I tity ol arms, concealed in the house of! Cethegus, were brought to light, and the I worse ieatures of the conspiracy made per- j fectly plain to the Senate and to the whole ! Roman people. " To DAY, Romans, yon behold the Com monwealth, your lives, estates, fortunes, your wives and children, the august seat of this renowned empire, this fair and flourishing j city preserved and restored to you, rescued ! from fire and sword, and almost snatched ! from the jaws of fate by the distinguished j love of the immortal gods towards you, and I by means of my toils, counsels and dangers. I And if the days in which we are preserved ; from ruin be no les* than joyous and memor able than those of our birth, because the pleasure of deliverance is pertain, and the condition to which we are born uncertain, and because we enter on the joys of life with out consciousness, hot are always sensible to i the joys und preservation, surely since j .mi- gratitude and e.-teem for Ilomulus, the ' lourider of this city, has induced us to rank him a lining the immortal gods, he cannot but m "'it honor with you ai.d posterity who have preserved the same city with all its accessions of strength and grandeur. * ! And now, Romans, as the detestable leaders of tliis impious aud unnatural rebellion arc j seized an/j in custody, you :ay justly con-I elude that Cataline's vvli.de strength, power I and hopes are broken, and tiie dangers that j threatened the city dispelled ; for when 1 was I driving liini out of the city, Romans, I fore- ' saw that if he was on.ee removed there would be nothing to apprehend from the drowsiness ! of Lentulus, the fat of Cassius, or the rash j ness of Cethegus. lie was the only formida ble person of the whole number, yet no longer j so than when he remained within the walls of the city. He knew everything; he had ac ' cess to all places ; he wanted neither abili- j ties nor boldness to address, to tempt, to so- j licit. He had a head to contrive, a tongue to | explain, and a band to execute any underta ! king. He had select and proper agents to j be employed in any particular enterprise, ' and never took a thing to he done because he i had ordered it, but always pursued, urged, | attended, and saw it done himself, declining neither hunger, cold nor thirst. Had I not driven this man, so keen, so resolute, so dar ing, so crafty, so alert in mischief, so active in desperate designs from his secret plot within tho city, into open rebellion in the field, I could never eo easily, to speak my real thoughts, Romans, have delivered the Republic from its dangers. *" * * Can any man after this .be such an enemy ' to truth, go rash, so mad, as to deny that all things which we see, and above all, that tins city is governed by the power and providence of the gods? * * * And that the Am bassadors of tho Gauls, a nation.6o disaffec ted, and the only onp at present that seems j both able and willing to make a war on tho ; Roman people, should slight the hope of em pire and dominion, and the advantageous of fers of men of patrician rank, and prefer your safety to their own interest, must needs be the effect of a Divine interposition, espec ially when they might have gained their ends, not by fighting, but by holding their tongues. Wherefore, Romans, since a thanksgiving has been decreed at all the shrines of the gods, celebrate the same religiously with your wives and children. Many are the proofs of j gratitude you have justly paid to the gods on former occasions, but never surely were more j apparently due than at present. In his fourth aud last oration against Cat- i aline, Cicero takes occasion to discuss Hie j punishment due the leading conspirators j already in custody, and who, by a decree | of the Senate were sentenced to death and I executed the same day. I perceive, conscript fathers, that every look, that every eye is ; fixed on me. I see you solicitous not only for your own and your country's danger, but that was repelled, for mine aleo. This proof of your affection is grateful to me in sorrow and pleasing in distress; but, by the immortal gods, I con jure you ! lay it all aside, and witliout any regard to my safety, think only of yourselves and your families, for should the condition of my Consulship lie such as to subject me to all manner of pains, hardships and suffering I will hear theiu not ouly resolutely, hut cheerfully, if by my labors 1 can secure your dignity and safety with that of the people of Rome. * * * I have long observed a spirit of disorder working in the State, new projects devising and pernicious schemes set on foot ; hut never could I imagine that a conspiracy so dreadful and destructive had entered into the minds of citizens. * * * 1 he mischief is spread wider than most people imagine, and has r.ot only infected Italy, but crossed the Alps, and imperceptibly creeping along, seized ntanj provinces. You can nev er hope to suppress it by delay and irresolu tion. Whatever course yop take, you must proceed with vigor and expedition. * * J speak according to my real sense of the mat ter, for may 1 never enjoy in conjunction with you the benefit of my country's safety, if the eagerness which 1 show in this cause pro ceeds froni any severity of tenjprr (for no j man has less of it), hut from pure humanity and clemency, for I seem to behold this city j —the light ol the universe and the citadel of all nations—suddenly involved in flames. I figure to myself mv country in rqins, and the j miserable bodies of slaughtered citizens ly ing in heaps without burial. And because these calamities appear to me in the highest degree deplorable and dreadful, therefore am ! 1 severe and unrelenting towards those who j eudeavored to bring them on us. If we punish them with the utmost severi- 1 | ty we shall he accounted compassionate ; hut : j if we arc remiss in the execution of justice, 1 | we may he charged with the greatest cruelty ; in exposing the Republic and our fellow citi- ' ; zens to ruin. * * * Is it possible you 1 I should be afraid of being thought too severe j ' in the punishment of so unnatural and mon- ; strous a treason, when in reality you have ! much more cause to dread the cause of cruel- ! ty to your country for your too great lepity, j than the imputation of severity for proceed- | ing in an exemplary manner against such im | placable enemies. But I cannot, conscript fathers, conceal what I hear. Reports are J spread through the city and have reached my j ears, tending to insinuate that we have not a I sufficient force to support and exeeute what ; you shall this day decree. But, be assured, j conscript fathers, that everything is concerted, j ! regulated and settled, partly through my ex j treme care and diligence, but still Tf\orc by | the indefatigable zeal of the Roman people to : support themselves in possession of empire j and preserve their common fortunes. The j wholo body of the people is assembled for j your defence ; the forum, the temples around j i the forum, and all the avenues of the Senate, ' | are possessed by your friends. This indeed ; I is the only cause since the building of Rome, | in which all men have been unanimous, those ; i only excepted who, finding their own ruin unavoidable, choose rather to perish in the j general wreck of their country than fall by themselvcs. These I willingly except and separate from the rest, for 1 consider them not . so much >n die light cf Lad citizens as of iui placable enemies. But then, as to the rest, immortal Gods! in j what crowds, with what zeal and with what ' i courage do tliey all unite in defence of the j public yel fare and dignity? What occasion j is there to speak here of the Roman knights? ' who, without disputing your precedency in ' rank and the administration of affairs, vie j with you in their zeal for the republic; whom, 1 after a dissension of many years, this day's cause has entirely reconciled and united with you. And if this union which ray .Consulship , has confirmed, he preserved and perpetuated, j 1 am confident that no civil or domestic evil j can ever again disturb this State. The like zeal for the common cause ap- | pears among the tribunes of the exchequer and the whole body of the scribes, who hap- : poning to assemble this day at the Treasury j have dropped all consideration of their pri 1 vate affairs, and turned their whole attention ! to the public safety. The whole body of free born citizens, even the meanest, offer us their i assistance; for where is the man to whom j these temples, the face of the city, tho pos i session of liberty, in short this very light, are j r.ot both dear and delightful? * Since then, . conscript fathers, the Roman people are not ; wanting in their zeal and duty towards you, j it is your part not to be wanting to the Ro- j man people. You have a Consul snatched f rom various ! snares and dangers and the jaws of death; ! not for the preservation of his own life, but ! for your security. All orders unite it. opinion, | inclination, zeal, courage and a professed j concern to secure the Commonwealth. Your ! common country beset with the brands and ' weapons of an impious conspiracy, stretches out her suppliant hands to you for relief, re commends herself to your care, and beseech es you to take under your protection the lives of the citizens, the citadel, the eapitol, theal i tars of domestic worship, the everjaatjr.g fire j of Yesta, the shrines and temples of the gods, j the walls of the city and the houses of the j citizens. Consider, likewise, that you are ; this day to pas 9 judgement on your own lives, j on those of your wives and children, on the i fiirtune3 of all the citizens, on your houses j and properties. You have £ leader, such as you will not always have, watchful for you, regardless of himself. You have, likewise, what was never known before in a case of this kind, all orders, all ranks of men, the whole body of the Roman people, of one and the same mind. Reflect how this mighty em pire reared with so much toil, this liberty es tablished with so much bravery, and this profusion of wealth, improved and heightened j with so much favor and kindness of the gods, were likely, in one night, to have been forev- 1 er destroyed. You are this day to provide 1 that the same thing not only shall never be attempted, but not so much as thought of by any citizen. * In one circumstance, indeed, the condi- j tion of a foreign victory is better than that of a domestic one; because a foreign enemy . when conquered is either quite crushed and ; reduced to slavery, or, obtaining favorable j terms becomes a friend ; but when profligate i citizens once turn rebels and are baffled in | their plots, you can neither keep them quiet New Series—Vol. XV, No. 41. ! by force nor oblige them by favors. I there fore see myself engaged in an eternal war with all traitorous citizens, but am confident I 1 shall easily repel from me and mine, through you and every worthy man's assis tance joined to the mighty dangers we have escaped ; a remembrance that will not only subsist among the people delivered from tliein, but which most ever cleave to the minds and tongues of all nations. X<>r, 1 trust will any force lie found strong enough to overpower the present union be tween you and the Roman knights, and this general confederacy ot all good citizens. * I 1 hereforc, conscript fathers, let ine exhort you to proceed wjtli vigor and resolution in an I affair that regards your very being, andHbat of tbe people of Rome, your wives and cliil j dren, yoyr religion and properties, your al tars and b nudes, the houses and dwellings of this city, your empire, your liberty, tbe safe ty of Italy and tho whole system of the Com monwealth, for you have a Consul who will not only obey your decrees without hesitation, j but, while he lives, will support and execute ; in person whatever you shall order. Cicero's advice prevailed and the Roman Empire was saved, and remained a inonu j uient ot what vigor and love of liberty can ! accomplish for a long period afterward, be j fore it succumbed to ambition and luxury, | and their attendant evils, in sapping the : foundations of free government. We have only to add that Cicero pro cured a decree for the punishment of Len ; tulus, Cethcgus, Statilus and others of the j chief conspirators, who were executed the I same day, whilst Cataline, driven to try his late in battle, was defeated and slain, | his whole army cut to pieces, and, as Cicero predicted, all their evils were 'extir i patcd with him at once.' : A. ® 1 111 l" IXG in connection with his Grocery and Notion business, commenced the Manufacturing of Confection ery, 1 in its various branches, and employed a prac tical workman, notifies the public that be in j tends to keep a well assorted sfocjc of the ! above goods on hand, which will be vvarrant i ed to give satisfaction, and be equal to any J Confectioneries that can be bought from any i eastern city, which he offerst* wholesale mer j chijpts and retailers at city prices, with cost 'of -nrriage. lie therefore solicits the ens i torn of the surrounding country, and re quests them to send in their orders or cull and examine his goods, which will satisfy all ! that they can be accommodated with a sclec j tion which will recommend itself.
