year Of the rebellion had passed, and no sane man
could declare that the heart Of the rebellion had
been touched. The necessity of the levy Of 300 900
men was apparent to I'LL, both for the rebellion and
to repel the danger of foreign aggression. And
what was Congress doing? Making tariff which
would operate q s.Cbinese wall for the benefit Of

poses. Representatives of the people declared that
they would embarrass the Government, unless u
svow and act upon the policy of making this q
war for the immediate emancipation OF the slaves.
As the time was approaching when the Democratic
party could give expression to its sentiments, u
would te for them TO demand that the war should b
carried on, not O. O political speculation, but 20
great national work. De Tocqueville had saic,
what had now proved lsmentably true, that our
greatest danger was the tendency Of our polncai

places they undertook to fill. He said that were
not yet sufficiently alive to the fact that there was
certain cultivation which could never be shared by
the Masses but which was essential for the rnlers OF
q State. We bad Q melancholy proof Of this
in Eany of the men who now exercised an IN
fuence upon our national affairs at Washington,

had fallen the responsibility Of preserving it, and it
remained to be seen whether we were or were nos
equal TO the emergency Other great nations had
passed through the ordeal OF civil war and como out
OF it more strongly cemeuted than before. Such hao

The question might be asked, Why not Let them
