such a war would be the ruin Of thousands Of
loyal citizens in the States now seeded and IN

way responsible for tie fratricidal war new
commenced IN our unfortunsts country; and
believing, as We DO, that the cain patriotism

sibla honorable means shall Be first exhausted
BY tie national government before our pros
parors people be PLUNGED into a civil war, the
ultimate result Of which the wisest cannot
fOrespe.
