rsrbaps. in expeditions daily preparing for the
vi.ifatiou and scourging OF our coasts. That
S. .fa suh1ura.ion OF the South is not seriously
contemplated even in their widest dreams, is
evident ia the very significant fact that they
would never attempt to seize and destroy

tvely intended; for the South, they know, can
brooi, humiliation and coercion the least OF
aav people in the world; and that once hay
fr- attempted both, and failed, all efforts to
iraroura-e tie ancient state Of things must
D-sve abortive and lumilatiug to them
selves. That they expect to chastise us,
do NOT doubt. and look forward TO
Victory for indemnifcation, subsidy and
commercial manopoirs for such wild visions
