gies, copfessedly greater than any nation ever
before applied, to suppress insurrection and
restore the freedom Of our inland and foreign
commerce, and we gain victory after victory:
yet this does not satisfy OUT enemies abroad.
Defeats in their eyes prove our national in
capacity, Victories won in conformity with
the most humane practices Of war, are at
tended with such destruction Of lit as to
shock and confound their sensibilities. Com
plaints against au increase Of duties on foreign
merchandise, and against the rigor Of our tax
alton, come upon us in the very same breath
with representations that our engagements
will never be fulfilled, and our bonds not yet
matured are advised to be forced back upon
our newly filled money market for sale The
same voices which are proc1aimjng to the
world that the preservation Of the Union is 8
task too expensive for the Government, de-
cure the accomplishment Of that task, as hos
tile to foreign nations. At first the Govern
mcnt was considered as unfaithfu1t to humanity
in not proc1aiming emancipation, and when It
appeared that slavery, By being thus forced
into the contest, must suffer, and perhaps per-
1sh in the conflict, then the war had become
an lntolerable propagandlsm Of emancipation
Tie purpose Of the American
government and people to maintain and pre-
serve the Union and the Constitution remains
unchanged; that the war IN which they have

not forseen, has been crowned with successes
which arc satisfactory to our calmer reason
and Judgment; that temporary disappooint-

losses of valuable lives, unavoidable among a
humane, aHectlonate, Christian people, has
already eliminated, and it is now declining ;
