When an army ironld take a city, it surveys
Carefully the obitteeles to be encountered-, in
this line of approich is to be passed a difficrult
stream. On that eminence - are tntrenehments of ,
fearful strength, tMnunanding 'all access from

to take, and to oc4npy or demolish, is early de
cided. They , are dewed and assailed. When
one assault is not itnecessfnl, another is made.
If one day's toil dims not carry them, another
is added. If one iine of approach is found im
practicable, anothir is tried, till these outposts
no longer furnish ihelter to an opposing army;
or impede the con nest.
So it isn the htnorable and patrititie enter

of approach, and 4ii many ral

And when a smal l( band came, -and encamped
before his defens4; when they demanded the
tyrant's eardsiorafrom usurped dornieion—the
liberation of his *fives—their restoration to
an inheritance, of Which he had plundered them ;'
when he saw theno marshalling :for .an assault,
