THURSDAY, JULY 81, 1864
wE MUST FEGHT ON.
We must fight it out. The most besot-
ted advocate Of the pro-slaveEy policy must
see this, and if his interests at the North
oyerbalance his friendship for the South,
he mnst grid up his loins for more vigor-
Gus renewal Of the strife. Not only must
we fight il ont, but We must conquer. We
cannot afford to fail Secession, If success
tul, carries with it the Border Statea Ken-'l
lucky, Missouri, Virgins, and, possibly, |
Maryland and Missouri are just as morally
sure TO go with the South as Louisiana and
F7orids. We may struggle against the idea
as vigorously as we please; but IS soon as
it is demonstrated that we have not the !
matetiA strength to conquer the South, we |
hare demonstrated that the cause Of the |
Border States Will be the cause Of the Cot
:on States, and that all Will 60 off together.
And now what would be the, condition Of
our fag end Of the Union when this occurs?
b powerful Confederacy at the South,
With Territory aud, the slaves included,
population hardly Inferior to our own,
having free trade as one Of the objects Of
the war, would fall at once under the COM
rnercia1 domination Of Great Britain Our
Southern line would extend from the
eapes of the Delaware to the Pacific,
and every league of lit east Of the Mis-
sour River would require q guard
Tor the protection Of the revenue
system upon which the financial life Of
our Government would depend. at the
narrowest pszt our territory, it would be
but cighty-five miles in width-the dis
tance from the head Of the Pan Handle, in
Tirginin, to Lake Erie. On the north,
Canada the possession Of q power also
strong and also hostile, would be a5ut all
that boundary. Crowded in between two
dependencies OF the British croRn-the
South dependency through its inevitable
commercial relations; Canada depend
ency by the right Of conquest and
the consent Of the people; cut
almost in two by protrusion Of
Confederate territory into our OWL; op-
posed on the South by system Of labor
the irreconcilab1e foe Of our own, and On
the North by British desire to humiliate
and degrade the Great Republic; loaded
with debt, for the discharge Of which oner-
Gus taxation would be sure necessity
divided BY the sure development of con
hictiDg interests growing out Of the diverse
pursuits Of the East and the Northwest
cut of from the free navigation Of the St
Lawrence and the Mississippi; the victim
of hostile discrimination in the revenue
regulations Of the South; weak. compared
with it's former estate; beaten, and hum
bled by defeat,-hoW, We ask, could thi:
Government continue to exist as an entity
filling even the North; how could our con
5lictiug interests be reconc1ed, how coult
our debt be paid, how could cur manutac
tories he maintained, how could our tw'
Immense lines Of frontier be guarded, how
in word, could We avoid the humiliation
the poverty, the disgrace, the frequent an,
petty but destructive wars, and the unive1
sal decentralization Of the people and th
overbearing Of liberal principles and free In
stitutions, which would follow the breakin
up Of this proud nation into score Of DE-
pendent and jarring political communj
lies, each seeking some dishonorable ALI
2ncc to enable it to overreaeh or cut th
throat Of its rivals2
These are questions that a. the war pr
gresscs the people should discuss. Who
their courage. under disaster, aags
them turn to the picture which each c.
draw for himself, and ask what he wou
not do to avoid its realization in this on
favored and yet priceless land. We mu
fight and We must conquer. When t
policy Of the Administration does n
suit, when it is slow, vacilating, one thil
here and another there, cowardly al
without good huit, we must labor for
change, but resolve to fight I
~eyen against such discouragemen
Wien all the commanders Of departure u
art Breckinridge Democrats, most Of whe
avow their love Of slavery and their tlt
pugh contempt and hatred Of the pl
~ in power, its principles, its tra
1ions its leaders aud its objects, :
must strive to put them out, and
continue the warA When the aid
four millions Of loyal slaves is reject
we may deprccate the short-sightedn'
and folly which turns their labor over
tl:. enemy for the Strengthening Of
cause; but ne must not give up. Wen
quarrel with the policy which has b
tie governing one Of the war, but
must change it and fight on under q n
and more inspiring class Of ideas. I'll
can be no end save in victory. Whate
opposes must be removed Whate
ninders must be kicked aslde. The .
must 60 On until the end is won- Mex

who lores the place Of his birth, take
