The false fame of Alexander, or of Cortez will not, in the estimation of posterity, be even compared in true value with the practical disciples of Peace; who, like an Ashburton and Daniel Webster, have created a new æra in policy and civilization, and that too without tarnishing their radiant National honour,--but rather increasing its already dazzling splendour, and with it--elevating the Religious and moral dignity of humanity! In the sacred words of CHRIST, "Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of GOD!" For the continued glory and character of the British Throne, and the Curule Chair of the Anglo-Saxon Republic;--as an enviable example to posterity;--and for the increasing Amity between the two great Nations represented by the Treaty of Washington, may that Document, founded in the highest principles of Christianity, be sealed and mottoed by the hand of GOD Himself,--ESTO PERPETUA! Treaties of amity between nations Should be regarded as living fountains, Pure and purifying from their very source;-- From whence flow many streams,--in each of which The present age (the ancestral of the future), And its many million human atoms, Have a direct property; and founded In humanity,--forbearance and faith alone, Can sustain them as blessings to posterity! _Tragedy of "Tecumseh."_ (MS.) CHAPTER XII. (332 B.C.) THE FLIGHT OF THE TYRIAN FAMILIES AT THE FALL OF TYRUS. &c. THE FIVE ADDITIONAL AND NEWLY-APPLIED TYRIAN PROPHECIES OF ISAIAH INVESTIGATED AND ESTABLISHED: (_Making, with the Two generally acknowledged,--Seven in all:_) THE LAST, APPLICABLE ONLY TO ANCIENT AMERICA. That we may be distinctly understood in the numbering of the Sacred Prophecies by ISAIAH, having reference to Tyrus, we will briefly review them: and at the same time we repeat, that they are not required to sustain the present History,--they are, however, the seals to the Document. 1ST PROPHECY. This we understand to be the same as foretold by EZEKIEL and JEREMIAH,--viz., the destruction of the old metropolis on the _mainland_ by Nebuchadnezzar. This event was accomplished at the end of the thirteen years' siege, 485-472 B.C. 2D PROPHECY. This was that the "Daughter of Sidon," as a Nation, should be forgotten _seventy years_, and then be restored to memory and power. This was fulfilled,--reckoning from the commencement of the Babylonian investment (for she then ceased to be free) to the Dedication of the Second Temple at Jerusalem, in the rebuilding of which the Tyrians again assisted, as in the days of Hiram and Solomon. 3D PROPHECY. The third (and with those that follow now originally applied) had reference to a _second_ destruction,--the prediction stated that "the land should be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled." This fearful prediction was consummated by Alexander, in taking the Island-Capital, and by his massacre of the population. 4TH PROPHECY.
