too small. A hundred millions /. not 81

But this is not all. We shall he plung
ed into the paper system as deeply as W,
were in the days of the Revolution; ant
what will then be our situation at the con
clusion of the war, We shall be left witt
mortgage Of seven hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars OH the labor of the Ameri
can people; for it all falls on the labor O
the country at last, while much of the mo
ney will go into the pockets of those who
struck not a blow in the contest. W.
should then have the task of restoring q
circulating medium of sounder character
and that from the deepest degradation o
the currency. This is a hard job, as al
Of US know who have gone through with
it. Besides, the influence Of the war will
naturally be to obiitorate the line ofdistinc
ton between the State and General Go
vernments. We shall hear no more abou
State rights. but the Government will be.
come in effect a consolidated republic
BY our very success, il will give militia
ry impulse TO the national mind which cal
never be overcome. The ambition of the
nation will seek conquest after conquest
and will soon become possessed by spi
ri. totally inconsistent with the forms and
genius Of our Government; and this viii
lead, by straight and easy road, to thai
gulfof all republics-a military despotism
