issue between the North and the rebels than the
utter crushing out of the insurrection. It is not
only a question of freedom and slavery, but of civil
government and social order also ; and we are re-
solved—Heaven helping us—to establish the fact,
not doubted in Europe, that free governments are
capable of self-defence ; and that ours in particular
is worth all the sacrifices we are making to preserve
it. A week or two ago I received a very kind and
thoroughly friendiy letter from Mr. Sinclair, all
about our national troubles, and asking me to write
him, and explain certain points, that he might be
able to answer those who are carping at the free
States and sympathising with the slave-driving
rebels. I wish I had time to write him—as I have
not; but I would hardly take the trouble to' ex-
plain,' as all my trouble would be in vain. The
persons he speaks of, and all their class, take counsel
of their hearts and not of their heads. They are
devoured by a low and pitiful hete of us, because
we are making gigantic strides in the rosd leading
to a national greatness and power. They desire
that we may be crippled by a successful rebellion,
and our brilliant prospects nipped by an untimely
frost. They are so short-sighted as not to see that
it is England's interest, that being free, as she is,
we may be powerful and her friend, for the days
are coming when she will need such a friend, as
we were heartily and thoroughly prepared to be.
In the event of a successful rebellion we shall be
42,000,000 and more in 1892, and 84,000,000 and
more in 1922. So the crippling would be brief, and
our nation, the free North, would be very great and
powerful at the commencement of the next
century."
