We are told that Columbus, by predicting an eclipse of the sun, easily awed the Indians into complete submission. Prediction of events, to those who are unacquainted with natural laws, appears a miracle. To many a reader of today Mr. Calhoun's predictions as to the results of abolitionism appear little short of miraculous. It is, however, no miracle. He understood. That is the explanation. The correspondence down to details of subsequent history with his forecast, at first glance no less than startling, is thus reduced within natural bounds. Natural ...
