Why the conservative sentiment iu The
North is against this war. When ts!! you
it is fanat;cal, d. not mean that all men are
fanatics. Just rs the urtiiest trees Of the
forest yield to the blast Of tho storm, so have
the friends Of the Constitution yielded at the
North. And how l.: Lincoln to get these four
hundred millions Of dollars? | told you
might soy something more about it. They
haze not the money. That is true. ] sup

million in gold and silver. have not Eceu

money? WIZ, they laid their hands upon
it; and that is tie way they will do at the
North. First They wiijissue scrip; bnt the
Secretary OF the Treasury Cannot come up
and iell them that it is wrong. He has not

were to do it. They may issue four hundred
millions of Treasury notes, and thus get along
for twelve months or perhaps two years, be,
fore they are too much depreciated. They
will then issue scrip against the rich mans
property. What is 10 be the res':!: o! this
war? am not u prophet, but look 2ron
i! as fraught with the most momentons con-
sequences, not unto us, but TO the people OF
the North. haze always believed that i!
tho Union were destroyed the North would
run into anarchy and dcspotisr. Wca the
salt of the concern, and it is only quosLion-
able whether or not We have quit too soon'
That s the onl doubt have. Where ii will
end, do not know, but never ag@in will they
enjoy constitutional government at the North.
They never understood it. Constitutional
liberty ia plant Of Southern growth, water;
ed by Southern hands, nurturcd By Southern
hands, andifitis to be- maintained, TO l!Ye to
light the world, It's to be done in the Southern
Confederacy. Applause At the North there
is anarchy. Property will migrate, just IS it
did in Frauce. That ia tho end.
