The history of Tyrus, as a nation of its own people, in Asia, ceased upon the annihilation by Alexander. He repopulated the site from the surrounding and Grecian countries, and constituted as tributary monarch the brave but unfortunate Azelmic. The Macedonian having commanded that the Statue of Apollo should be unchained from the Altar, he thereupon expressed his gratitude to the golden Idol, for having sided with him in his Conquest, by making the walls defenceless upon the day of festival! After kneeling to the Statue of the Tyrian Deity, he styled himself the _Founder of Tyrus_! From thence he continued his march towards Judæa, to punish the Jews for a supposed assistance to the Tyrians; but, being flattered by his reception as he approached the Capital, he at once spared the city. He then received the celebrated Prophecy of DANIEL concerning the "King of Grecia," from Jaddus, the High Priest of Jerusalem, upon whose suggestion he offered a sacrifice in The Temple to the LIVING GOD! From the Holy-House of Judæa he entered Egypt, and worshipped Jupiter-Ammon both as Father and Deity! Such were the Religious inconsistencies of the "Macedonian Madman," and nothing but actual Insanity can reconcile such contrarieties, and cruelties, in human character. In the Nation of the Nile he was truly the Founder of Alexandria (the name and site preserved to this day), which city in progress of time outrivalled in commercial prosperity the antecedent Capitals of Sidon, Tyrus, and Carthage,--the triple and ill-fated sisters from the Parent house of Canaan. After his invasions and victories in India Alexander was so much the victim of flattery, that he could even deceive himself,--for it is recorded that he sighed or wept for another world to conquer!--yet his torch and war-spear were never thrown into the land of Italy,--and the gates of Rome remained unseen and untouched by the Macedonian Phalanx! From that Circean goblet,--flattery,--when presented by Cassander, the Conqueror little dreamed that it could contain the subtle and his deadly poison;--but the agony of his own death-struggle was but the emblem of that which he had caused millions of human beings to endure,--and whose only crime in the eyes of the invader was, that they had defended their native lands! Why should Historians condemn an Attila or a Cortez, and yet applaud their great Original? They pass by the Tyrian Hiram or Azelmic unhonoured, yet style an Alexander,--"the Great!" One Mediator for Peace must be, in the eyes of GOD,--upon His great principle of love and good-will to all,--more acceptable at the Final Day, than all the Legions of unrepenting Conquerors of the past, the present, or the future.
