THE RECONSTRUCTED UNION.
The tories propose to reconstruct the
Jnion on the basis Of excluding the
New England States from the new
Jnion. They propose t. make common
:ause with the Shareholders against the |
Yankees, to admit South Carolina but shut
he door IL the face OF Massachusetts.
However ridiculous the project, It is never
Eheless floating through their distempered |
Drains as scheme to be seriously consid- |
cred. It is their peace Offering to the |
rebe1s-one Of the terms Of thsfr subrnis- |
sion to the Shareholders. |
:. The rebels hate New. England, and the |
ories partake Of their aaiimosity BUTT is
(not tie soil or territory Of New England !
that excites the ire Of the oligarchy, but its
people, or rather the ideas Of its people 1t
Is proposed then to reconstrucs the Union |
, On the basis Of excluding New: England
civilization, and substituting that of the
South The ideas OF South Carolina inf1u-
ence the rebel States, even more than those
ot New England do the loyal States. Coy
ernments are conducted according to ideas
The present tremendous civil war is a con-
Vest Of ideas not Of sections It is struggle
For the mastery between ,jrse and szape
Eorms Of government The West cooper
htes tremendously with the East, because
heir fundamental political ideas assiu1u-
late. The South makes war On the North,
because its prevailing political ideas are at
hntipodes with those Of che. North. Cali
.srnia is perfectly 17yal, though separated
;,y mountains and deserts thousands Of
miles wide fran thu other States. Why?
Because her political ideas are in harmony
vith those Of the other loyal States, while
,iissouri, slave State, lying far North,
nd surrounded On three sides by free,
oval States, has been kept in the Union by
federal bayonets.
In reconstructing the Union on the Val
andiEllam plan, it Will be necessary not
MY to exclude New England but to elimi-
,ate the ideas Of that section that have
aken root in other States, or the harmony
j the new confederacy will be jeopar-
.izcd- The advocates Of q government
,punded on free labor must be left out
