be- peace between the North and the South The people
Of the South have instincts and feelings like those in the
North They are actuated by the same spirit of resist
oppression and shame that influenced our fathers

STYLE and taking strong southern grounds It Is severely
denounced by the republican Senator'S, who characterize
II as being South Caroline speech.
