to save no power but Slavery alone; Won do more

Wan that bscanse with whatever purpose you com
mence, you WIN fnd that you have not progressed
two or three years before in your own JUDI ment
it Will 10 an impossibity to make the new Gov.
eminent liberal. The reasons, fellow citizens, are
obvious. Sooner or later IL will be demonstrated
that the great body polite Of the people of the South
were loyal to this Government, and did desire to
preserve it. CHEERS. The question at once arises
why, them did they suffer them to be forced out of
the Union. 1t il much more difficult to make one
who was not present understand this than one who

whose mission it ought to have been TO spread the
doctrine of peace on earth and goodwill toward

the came opinion of some in the North who spent
their tins in proving that il originated IN bell
laughter. My simple, unFeeenerate view
Of the subject was that Col knows best, and tba, II
was permitted for some wise, ioscrutable purpose,

was poison.d The argument WAS: The only way
you can stop the Northern people Is to 20 on, OF
The Union and il you 20 out now they Will soon
begin to beg for your own terms for reconttruc-
tion. That WAC the argument employed
OF men were indlced TO 60 the baiot-box and vote
for Secession, having been made to believe thai It
would be the means IF seeing perpetual peace. But
again others who had thought naturally npon the
subject would ray 20 their Union ieli0w-ctizens:
