,3i sl1 THE NATTER IN a NUTSHELL. 1sor
,m One section Of onr country believe slave
ry is right AMI ought TO be extended, while
the other believes it to be wrong and
ought not to be extended. This is the on.
ly substantial dispute. The fugitive 81 ave
clause of the Constitution and the Ia > foI
the suppression, of the African slave trade,
are each as wei enforced. perhaps. as any
law can evet be in community where be
moral sense of the people imperfectiy sup
port the law itself. The great body of the
people abide by the legal obligations in
both cases and q few break over each.-
This think cannot be perfectly cured and
it would be worse in both instances after
the separation of the sections than before
The foreign slave trade. now imperfectly
suppressed, would be. ultimately. revived
without restriction in one section, while
fuSitives now only partially surrendered
would not be surrendered at oil to the 9th
cr. -sa la- lt t~
Physically speaking, we cannot sepa
rate. we cannot remove our respective sec
,ions from each other. nor build an impas
sable wall between them. A husband anc
wife may be divorced and go out of tn,
presence and beyond the reach Of each 9th
er, but the different parts of our countr,
cannot do this. They cannot bnt remair
face to face. and intercourse either amica
bic or hostile must continue between them
Is it possible then to make that intercours,
more advantageous or more satfsfactory
after separation than before. Can alien
make treaties easier than friends can max

forced between aliens than laws can am on:
friends. Suppose you go to war; you can
not fight always, and when after much los

cease fighting the identical old question:

East to West. upon the line between til,
