much reason to believe that the uuinu men
are the majority IN many, il not IN every
other one of the so called secedcn States.--
As the contrary has not been demonstrated
in any one of them, il is ventured to affirm
this even of Virginia and Tennessee. for the
result Of au election held ir military camps,
where the bayonets were all ON one side of
the question voted upon can scarcely be
considered as q demonstration Of popular
sentiment. AT such an election all that
large class who are not at once for the Union
and against coercion, would 5e coerccd to
vote against the Union.
1t may be affirmed, without extravagance,
that the free institutions we enjoy have de
veloped the power and improved the condi-
ton of our whole people beyond any extm-
pie in the world OF this we now have a
striking and impressive illustration. SO
large an army us the government has now
on foot was never before known, without
soldier in it hut who had taken his place
there of his own free choice.
But mere than this. There are many re.
giments whose members, one and another,
possess full practical knowledge of all the
arts, sciences, professions, and whatever
else, whether useful or elegant, is known in
the world and there is scarcely one from
which there could not be selected n PreSi-
dent, Cabinet, Congress, or perhaps
Court abuudantly competent u administer

that when ballots have fairly and constitu

appeal back TO bullets; that there can be nc
