There is no Duke OF Brunswick on the IRON

which make men cruel by appealing to their

violent change since the Declaration OF lnoe-

| dogmaiicaily. The opinion which we incline
| to-though, we confess, with the very great

We admit that the proceedings of the Con
federate States express nothing less than rev
| olution, We admit that this revolution ma
e not been provoked. We deplore the rupture
| and we are disposed to tear-though on thi
point there can be no certainty-that the re
suits will be fraught with disaster. Bat a.
II this is beside the question. The Southernef
l. have no real case against their Mortimer
