recsleet that JeeIson Davis led our forces IN Mex
ico and .tl be lives, perhaps TO lead the southern
army" Quite apart from the economical lap which
makes the diffusion Of Slavery vital condition for
ito maintainance within its constitutional areas the
leaders Of the South had never deceived Themselves
as 20 s necessity for keeping up their political sway
over he United States. Joha Calioaa, in the
defense Of his propositions to the Senate stated dis
tine " on Feb. 10, 1917, "tbat the Senate was Re
oy balance of power left TO the South in The Gov
ernment," and ngt the creation Of new Slave States
had become necessary for the retention Of the
equ;ross of power in the Senate" Moreover the
Ogarchy Of the 300 900 slave owners could not even
maintain their away at home save by constantly
throwing out 10 their white plebeians the bat Of
prospective conouests within and without tho from
tiers Of the United States IT. then, according 10 The
oiacles of the English praFs, the North had arrived
at tho fixed resolution Of circumscribiDg Slavery
within Ire present limits, and of thus extingushng
it in constitutional way, was this not sufficient to
enlet the sympa,hies of Anti-Slayery England
But the English Puritans seem indeed not TO be
cor snted save by an explicit Abetioniet war.
This" says Tie Ecoacm8t therefore, not being
a war for the emancipation Of the negro race, on
what other ground can we be fairly called upon to
sympatbize so warmly with the Federal canse =
There was a time,' Says The Examiner, "when
our ~ mpathes were with the North, thinking that
it was really in earnest in making stand Against tho
Entertainments Of the Slave States" and 10 adopting
emancipation as a measure OF justice to the black
race
However, in the very same numbers in which
these parers tell us that they caunot sympathze with
the North because it's war is no AboltioDst war. We
are informed that the desperate espedient oil pro-
claiming negro emancipation and surimoning The
slaves 10 a general iIsuTection,' is q thing tie
mere conception of which lie repulsye and dreadiu,
and that "a compromise" would be "fhr preferable
TO success purchaied a, such cost and stained ~
such a crime"
Thus the English esgerDeFs for the Aboli ioDist
war IL all can't The cIoyeu foot peeps out in the fol-
lowing sentences: Lastly says The Eeon0nid,
" IL the Morrill, TdrtG, title TO our gratitude and
to our ~ mpatby or is the certainty that, in csse Of
Northern triumph, that Talif should be extended
over the whole Republic, reason why We ought to

North Americans" says The Examiner, are in
earnest about nothing but seifah protective Tariff.
The Soutbern States were tired Of
being robbed Of the frus Of their sEve-s6or by the
protective tariff Of the North"
The Exo,HiHer and The Ee01OmiE comment each
other The latter is honest enough 10 confess at last
that with hin and bis followers sympathy is nero
question Of iana while the former reduces the var
between North and South to Il tariff war, 10 war
between Protection and Free-Tnde. The Eramfner
is perhaps not aware that even the South Carolina
NulLfers of 1882, as Gen. Jackson testihes, used
Protection only % prstext for secsSsoni but even
/ The Examiner ought 10 know that the present re-
bolon did not wait upon the passing Of the Morrill,
tariff for breaking out. In point Of fact the South
erners could not have been tired Of being robbed Of
