There is yet some honest men in the North
See what the Bangor Maine] Democrat of a re-
cent date says:
THE STERN LOGIC OF EVENTS.
The rapid fulfiilment of all the predictions of
Democratic speakers and writers, as to what
would take place in our beloved country in the
event Of sectional triumph in the election Of
a President need not be attributed to any Gift
Of prophecy; it is the result of the STERN Log
&c OF EVENTS. Poorly read in the history of
government, and a poor student of human ma
ture, must he be, who, i'll the face of the warfare
which the Black Republican party has been for
years waging upon the institutions ofthe South,
could not have foretold the disruption of the
Union and the disasters that might attend that
disruption
Now that we have entered upon civil war,
let those who would read the story Of the fl-
ture, appeal to that same " stern logic of
events" What does it teach !? We speak by
its instructions.
1t teaches that, if Abraham Lincoln shall
persist in attempting to carry out the policy
indicated in his reply to tho Virginia Comnis
soners, the fifteen slave States, numbering
more than 12 600 900 Of people, viii unite in a
common cause Of defending their fresdes and
homes.
1t teaches that every man within their limits,
capable Of welding a sword or lcvclng a rifle,
will take the field, determined, like their revo-
iutionary fathers of Old to repeI the invader
or to die in the attempt.
1t teaches that sooner or later, the fate of
every Northern army sent within their bor-
ders, will inevitably be that which overlook
those Of the British tyrant which were landed
on our coast to riVet our forefathe1s the
chains Of slavery,
1t teaches that the armies of the North may
meet with occasional triumphs; may burn a
few cities and devastate few fields, may rob
the Southern mother and her tender children
of their peaceful and quiet homes; may here
and there incite servie instructions; but sue
cess like those will only provoke the wrath of
Heaven, and raise up for the South "armies to
fight their battles for them"
1t teaches that at last, after one, three, sew
en- or ten years shall have passed away, after
our armies have vanished before the never-fail-
ing aim Of the Southern rifle, the Irresistible
charge of Southern cavalry, and the terrible
ravages of Southern climate after myriads of
Northern homes have been made desolate and
poverty and distress shall begin to stalk abroad
in the streets Of our cities and villages, then
the hearts of our people will yearn for peace and
peace will come
1t teaches that the independence of the Con-
federate States viii be recognized, and the North
will be compelled at last to grant that which,
in accordance with the spirit of American lib
erty, 1t should promptly and checrIully con-
cede.
Such are the teachings of the stern logic of
events We put them upon record and invite
all who read this article to remember predc-
tons founded upon them. The authority of
the Federal Government will never again be
established within the limits of the seeded
States. The people of those States will never
again recognize that authority voluntarily, nor
can they be compelled to do SO by force.
