Remarkable times produce remarkable men. The progress that culminates in revolution is slow, but revolution takes re sistless power, and speed forges and forms greatness of charac ter, and brings into prominence genuine manhood. The ener gies and strength of men reach more sudden maturity in the struggle, though they were born with the infant, slept through adolescence, and only burst the'mind's swaddlings when the occasion that magnetized their growth, vitalized their action, and magnified their power, bursts upon them.
