tional law, can be free They may be
nominally free, but they are vassals and
slaves, and this unbridled mob, when they
attempt to,oheck it, Lincoln and the rest
will be dealt with just as I tell you it was
10 France. ..-....~.. .,--. .,-s.y,s,
Why the conservative sentiment in the
North is against this war. When / tell
you it is fanatical, I do not mean that all
men are fanatics. Just as the sturdiest
trees of the forest yield to the blast of the
storm, so have the friends Of the Constitu-
ton yielded at the North. And how is
Lincoln to. get these foul, hundred millions
of dollars2 Itold you / might say some
thing more about it. They have not the
money. That is true. suppose the North
now might raise one hundred million in
gold and silver. have not seen the re-
turns of the banks. But their money lem
ders are not going to lend it,. Some say
that the war will bea short one. No, my
friends, do not lay that -aattering unetion
to your souls, How did the Jaeobins raise
their money! Why, they laia their hands
upon it; and that is. the way they. will do
at.the North. First. They will issue scrip;
but the Secretary Of the Treasury cannot
come up and tell them that it iswrong.-;
He has not the nerve. and he might, lose
his head if he were : to do it. They may
issue four hundred millions Of Treasury
notes, and thus get along for twelve months,
or perhaps two years, before they are TOO
much deprecated. They will; then issue
scrip against the rich mans property
What is to be the result of this war2 ! am
not prophet, but I look upon it.as fraught
with the most. momentous consequences,
not unto: us, but to the people of the North:
I have always believed thstif the Union
we're destroyed the North would run into
anarchy and despotism. We are the salt
of the concern, and it is only questionable
whether or not we have quit too soon.----
That is the only doubt L have. Where
it will end, 1 do not know, but never again
will they enjoy constitutional government
at the North. They never understood it.
Constitutional liberty is a.plant of South,
ern hands, >nurtured BY Southern hands,
and if it is to be maintained, to live toligh,
the world, it is to be done in the Southern
Confederaey. [Applaase.l At the North
there is anarchy. Property will migrate,
just as it did in France. That.is; the. end
