that Southern trade-ihe sale Of tin- kettles

the usurpatlons OF Slavery, could II be xpecled
ever 10 do so!
But there have been delustons in both South
and North, which are now apparent, aud which
history Will recognize. 1t is a dtiusion in the
North 10 suppose the cOexlstence of Free and
1t Is a deluslOn in the North 10 suppose an aris-

last end; it is delUslon in tne North to sup
pose that the arlstocracy relates only TO the
blacks; 1t ls delusIOn in the North TO suppose

On the other hand, the delusions of the South

suppose that secession was possible without wa r;

that Go,.on was King; it was delusion to sup.
pose that the North had idea but that OF trade;
1t was a deluslon to suppose any foreign nation
had any interest in fighting for Southern

that Southern chivalry wa4 superior to TINT o
