otisa and nagnanimity to the sdilcaiion Of
shoss ingsnpous persons, from the rural dis
tsssa, Who continue to believe in the existence
Of truth and honor among mankind. Sub.
seAuaially he said The idea of such thing az
coercion is ridiculous. Before New York would
permit such thing as coercion Of the South, her
streets would run red with blood. An army
Of hundred thousand New Workers would
rise and resist any army OF invasion that could
ever reach the South. 1t is idle to talk of the
subjugasion Of the south. No sane man believes
In such q Thing. II viii never be attempted.

1.-The South were disposed to blind her eye
TO the character and purposes of this war,
developments ike these would render suc b sci f.
delusiop no longer possible The great er-
for she committed at the fret. of meeting
the most inhumsE and fsrocious threats with
forbearance aid moderation, can no longer be
parseyered in, in justice TO herself and her
people. 1t is not men who are fighting Us
it Is wild beasts who are painting for onr
destruction. AID whom we ought to exter.
inmate, whenever we meet them, as we
would wolves and panthers. We have en-.
miles upon TIE principles of civilized warfare
They will not permit us to be humane
They do not recognize Us as civilized enc
mics They threaten to hang our gallant
privateersmen, for engaging in service
which they have themselves always prac.
leed and yindicated, and when we determine
TO retaiiate by hanging one of their pirAtical
Invaders of our soil, they consign our nobie
representatives, Macon and Siidell, to the hang
mln's halter. They brought handouts and
ropes with them at Manassas to tetter and hang
us all. They have driven our people from
their peaceful homes, defled and desecrated
the churches of the living G ID, polluted fam
lily affairs, and declared their deliberate inten-
ton to contiscate the property and dsiile the
hearthstones OF the Southern rebels. And now
we have an authoritative endorsement by the
Secretary of War Of this outrageous speech
Of Cochrane, in which he proposes not only
70 copfiseaie our property and take our lives,
but pat arms in the hands of the seryile pop.
ulation. Such determination as this shows
al once an unfathomable depth of maliynity
aud wickeduess, and the utter desperation of
their cause.
A more heartless, diabohcal, and cowardIy
policy was never announced or employed BY
any people. We defy them to put it in execu-
ton; bat, put in execution or not, we viii
hold them responsible for the base and deviiish
