The following extracts are taken from re-
cent article in Henry Ward Reecher's paper
the New York Independent, paper which is ex
tensively patronized and endorsed by the Re
publican party:
"The grand result-the only solution of tn,

our people and our statesmen look it fair in th
face?
THE South is far stronger and better supplied
than we suppose. She Is in earnest She be
lieveS herself bitterly wronged. She is no
likely to think herself less SO after q ockadC
and campaign. She is encouraged by III,

Let our armies, as military necessity and

Fighting so near cur own forces, we may
hope The revense!ul feelings of these poor op
pressed creatures would be restrained. Still,
there would inevitably be desolation and de
strucion sweep n, like a temp. st over he Sou.

have blrne the wrongs Of centuries. and why
should not their uprising be bloody? Let them
have their freedom, if they can win it, even

Illinois.
"There ia an evident feeling among All loyal
classes in favor OF an early termination OF Amer
lcan slavery. 1t has been at once our sin and
our punishment, and only can we hope for per
rnanent peace when we put it from us. Here.
totore all have conceded the difficulty of ahro
eating the system. 1t had become so inwoVrn
with every part of the Gorernment--w its
politics, its legislation, its judiciary, its com
merce and manu- actures, thai its removal seem
ed impos>i lie. but now We are brought face tu
face with the opportunity. This rebellion tur
nishe the justification and suggests the mode.

loyal states demand ,hlS, and they will enforce
