| still believe in mans capacity to govern
himself, and prophesy that by September
next all our difficulties will be adjusted. The
South will know that the North has no hos
tile, no subversive feelings to gratfy-that
it is the Union of the States-that Union
cemented 10y the blood of patriot sires, which
is to preserved unbroken and inviolate-and
that under its fraternal @gis all discords must
cease--aH wounds shall be healed. To this
end We must be ready for the field-we must
grid up our loins, and put on our armor, for
a grateful and lasting peace is only won when
men are equals in honor and courage. Now
is the time to test if our Government be re-
ally shield and a protection against anarchy
and rebellion, or merely a rope of sand-an
illusion-a chimera And it is by this spon-
taneous uprising of every friend of freedom,
rallying around the flag of his country-that
sacred symbol of onr undivided faith-which
will proclaim to the word in tones more po-
tent than heavens thunder peal, that we hare
Government stronger and more enduring
than that of kings and potentates, because
