THE WAR AND SLAVERY

PARIS July 4, 1861
:" The gain or loss by time for preparation is
equal to both sides, the exhaustion of resour.
ces is most rapid on the strongest side which
has the heaviest expense and suffers most
from interruption of its affairs AS to the saw.
ing OF life, short wars are least destructive :
the great loss of lite is not in battle but in the
hospitals it results from exposure fatigue,
bad fare, imprudence and irregular life In
the eXcltements OF active campaign soldiers do
not sicken in the field, in any climate what
ever, but when excitement subsidies and they
go into quarters, death enters with them and
begins his work. Delay is the policy of the
weaker, and not the strongest side pushing
and vigorous policy is most certain OF success
and least expensive in money and life.
1t is not war that endangers the Union nor
peace that will save it you must deal with
the anterior cause both OF The war and danger
What are you going to do with slavery?
You may knock Shareholders Oh the head
and render them dormant for few years, you
may hack and lop the branches of the tree OF
evil in the midst Of the garden till it wiihers
and posons you with its escaping vapors you
are already inhaling them-bGt why do YOU
waste your strength in the tree top d! Slavery
is radical-why don't you strike al the root
In the moment of victory to the north, the
slave is born again the old world rolls togeth
IL
the slave has changed masters, the old master
has no longer the power nor right TO retain or
relinquish,sn0r the responsibility or either :;
the new master takes all, the victor cannot es-
cape the conquest and reject its responsbilit.
les, the power ard the right to do are inseper
able from the duty of doing

tiondl barrier 10 emancipation, and UctorV uias it.
If she declare for the north, from that hour
the tree states will be responsible for the future
OF slavery. Ii they restore the slave to his an
cent master, they will be guilty of re estab-
fishing slavery of reducing to bondage four
millions of people as if they had brought them
from Africa of replanting the seeds of flu.
ture war; of belying their professions, and in
causing the contempt and scorn OF the age.
These are the logical results, and must constio
tute the united verdict OF civilized man Are
yon prepared to accept it?
The sacrifice of life and wealth, aud the de-
moralization OF an age, merely to obtain a
truce, cannot be justified freedom is under
the necessity OF destroying its enemy or being
destroyed by it; while there is strength to 90
on it cannot accept u truce which only pro.
longs the contest and augnents the sacrifice
it would be crime to stop half way ma
tional suicide.
Slavery, being the cause of its existence,
should be the object OF the war. 1t is best to
avow that object, because it Is the honest and
manly course. The ayowal may create some
enemies, bat will make many friends; the OBJ
ject will command the sympatlIies Of all lbut
