THE ORIGIN OF THE WAR.


(From Drownson's Quarterly Review for .January.)
THE ORIGIN OF THE WAR.
"Mony worthy people regard war, espe-
raging in the American Uuiou, as the
greatest calamity that can beial a nation,
and so great is their horror of war that
they seem willing,to purchase peace at any
price, even by national dishonor and national
degradation. Yet war is rather the effect
OF evil than the evil itself The real evil
is in the causes that precede aud lead to it.
ln our case 1t is the effort OF the sound
part of the nation to cxpcl disease long
since contracted, and which was gradually
but steadily approaching the seat of lite,
and threatening us with complete dissolu-
ton. To the eye of enlightened patriot
ism our condition as people is less drpo-
rable to-day than it was fouryc ago, be-
fore the war broke out.
