Insanity in tbe Abstract and in tbe
Concrete.
History abounds in many pointed
illustrations and examples which
might go to show that nations as
well as individuals have their peri
ods of madness and derangement,
followed by lucid interregnums of
the "sober second thought," wheu
reason reassumes its sway, and
turns with horror and disgust from
its consciousness of weakness ai.d
self-abiisement, and from the com
mou wreck of ruin which in an evil
hour it was the means of involving
all within its reach. "From Mace
donia's madman to the Swede,''
and down to the present day, the
calendar of individual and national
aberrations is replete to overflow
ing with instances which mark the
vacillating and alternating phases
of human reason and passion, unfit
ting men at times for self-control or
for the ordinary business and do
mestic avocations of liie, metamor"
phosing the statesman into the
dawdling politician, impotent for
good yet powerful for evil, and
transforming the soldier into tbe
ûeiid or petty tyrant.
By these fitful gusts which assail
the throne of reason arid the abodes
of intellect and the soûl, the social
and moral fabric is overturned, and
nations, like individuals and commu
nities, are swept sooner or later in
to a vortex of ruin, from which to
be extricated, if extricated at all (
only with shattered powers, and na
tures steeped in demoralization, de
gradation and crime. Ilappy the in
dividual or people, who can cope
succeBssully with the wild tempests
of passion, bigotry and prejudice,
or who having suffered from theii
shocks, can by moral force rise su
perior to their evil effects.
A case in point, by way of ill uk
trating some of the positions as
sumed in the above remarks, occurs
to us here. It is related by the New
York Express , that during the de
bates iu the recent General Gouven"
tiori of the Episcopal Church, lately
held in Philadelphia, one of the del
egates, Mr. Wm. Welsh, very ably
and earm-stly advocated a concilia
tory course of action towards
Churchmen in the Southern States,
and took occasion several times to
say "we have all beeu crazy for the
last three or four years, and I have
been as crazy as any one else "
Mr. Welsh is one of the most emi
nent merchants in this country, dis
tinguished for his intelligence and
for the good he does with his great
wealth, and has been very loyal in
support of tbe Government—but he
he now evidently sees that a major
ity of the people of this cou utry
have been laboring under monoma
nia for some years past, aud, like a
truly good man, as he is, has the
courage and frankness fairly to own
it. It has been the opinion of many
reflecting men, that most of the
original Abolitionists were insane;
that some of them were so, can
hardly be doubted. Many cousid.
ered the conduct of the majority of
the nation as proof of insanity, aud
yet were staggered at admitting
the belief of a nation being insane
It is a remarkable fact that so great,
a man as Joseph Butler, Bishop of
Durham, and author of the Analogy,
entertained the expressed opin*
opinion that whole communities
might be seized with fits of insanity, '
as well as individuals, and added
that on no other principle could
certain transactions, recorded in
history, be accounted for.
