couragement to an armed enemy, tugging
at the very heart strings of the Republic,

war upon the Government, to embarrass i,s
efforts, to predict its failure, and to exhibit
to the enemy people divided at home, and
exhausting themselves in domestic strife
that it will not proclaim Slavery paramount
to the Uniono our fathers, and declare that

and not slavery that it will exhibit no

elements and influences, and await its
triumph. Could the murlerous fatterdc-
