march in that direction with the express
! purpose of injuring tie South. This re-
belliop is not in strict conformity with
1.-THE constitution and the South may
find that there isanrmconstitutional way
TO suppress it. The South is carrying
on war that violates every principle OF

Our prosperity had hardened our hearts,
and was fast changing us from a love of
country to love of pelf. In the impulse
this terrible war has created, all the bet

again in full play; our money, our lives
even, are as nothing, weighed against our
country and liberty. r i I'm 7,I5 'in J.. ~. <7
Liberty is involved in this struggle
That last, best effort at selfgoyernment
must not perish thus But we have
work, work before us. Southerners are
not Mexicans- not run at a yell
they, too, are Americans and have

foemen worthy our steel, and foes that
richly deserve our steel. ,.r. .~-s, sas5t
