ÒSon of the Republic, what
you have seen is thus interpreted. Three perils will come upon the
Republic. The most fearful is the
second, passing which, the whole world united shall never
be able to prevail against her. Let every child of the
Republic learn to live for his God, his land, and Union.Ó With these words the figure vanished. I started from my seat, and felt that I
had seen a vision, wherein had been
shown to me the birth, progress, and destiny of
the Republic of the United States. In UNION she will have strength, In
DISUNION her destruction.
