     summary: On the other hand I am bound to state that I have known American men of great wealth whose simplicity of type could hardly be paralleled in England (except, perchance, within the Society of Friends). Hence the wider culture and the more liberal views are often found in the sex from which the European does not expect them; hence the woman of New York and other American cities is often conspicuously superior to her husband in looks, manners, and general intelligence.

     summary: No one knew better than Washington--no one, indeed, so well--the exact state of affairs; for he, conspicuously among great men, always looked facts fearlessly in the face, and never deceived himself. Once when he and a party of other men were making salt at a lick, they were surprised and carried off by the Indians.

     summary: I should say that the overwhelming majority of American girls laugh at their female politicians at least as much as the majority of American men despise their male politicians. It is not by English dukes importing the daughters of American millionaires that England can get any glimpse of the democratic dignity of American men.

     summary: But I suppose that the common sense of American people reacts against the absurdity of these melodramas after yielding to the sensation of them. They did not know, though I for one tried to tell them, that all over the United States American people did not forget, even in their justified enthusiasm for the valor of their own men and the immense power they had prepared to hurl against the enemy, that France and England had borne the brunt of the war in the long years when Germany was at her strongest.

     summary: After dinner, American men, manners and ideals became the subject of a discussion into which my Western friend good-naturedly entered, although he was made a horrible example of the fact that we are ill-mannered. They have not always chosen well; the officers who govern them are often not good men; frequently they are only the most cunning politicians and one has but scant respect for them.

     summary: He was then familiarly known as _Uncle Sam_ Wilson. Half-naked, half-frozen, and by their looks half-starved: some with and some without legs, others upon crutches, or supporting each other from falling, with their heads or arms bandaged, and the blood still oozing from their half drest wounds--their meagre, emaciated and ghastly appearance presented at once to the eye of the beholder, a striking picture _of the horrors of war_ and _neglect_.[56] In a paper published at Windsor, Vermont, in February, 1814, are found allusions to Secretary Armstrong and Josiah Quincy: [_The following Extraordinary Advertisement is copied from the last (Windsor) Washingtonian._] _SLAVES WANTED!_ UNCLE SAM, a worthy gentleman Slaveholder (_of Virginia_) wants to purchase, at 124 dollars a head, 65,000 ('more or less') stout, able-bodied, full-blooded YANKEES, to aid Field Marshall, _the Duke of Newburgh_, in taking Possession of a Plantation he has lately bargained for, (_with himself_) if he can get it, IN CANADA.

     summary: Men are makers--American men, I think, more than most men--and amidst even the catastrophic jumble of Chicago one finds the same creative forces at work that are struggling to replan a greater Boston, and that turned a waste of dumps and swamps and cabbage-gardens into Central Park, New York. , one must admit, tremendous justifications for the belief in a sort of automatic ascent of American things to unprecedented magnificences, an ascent so automatic that indeed one needn't bother in the slightest to keep the whole thing going.
