the Southern people every day that this accursed

Soa,hsrn Union men becomes less as the old Union

think OF such course. The recognition of the
southern Confederacy by our own Government Ia
no longer among the contingencies OF this war
The rebels may defeat our armies and capture our
csptai ai-,hese possibiiities-but the rebels can
never conquer their independence. The confct
has assumed a new and a sublimer aspect. We
have 10 decide now, no; whether the rebels can be
subduel. but whether the country is TO be saved
The question is no longer the putting down OF the
rebellion, but tine salvation Of the nation. We are
in oi de- s11 from which our only escape is the sup
preston OF the rebellion by force.
Fifteen months ago might perhaps have pea
ceabiy div ded the Union but such a division Is
now utterly impossible. Later still, if there had
been one great Statesman in the country, We might
have reunited the nation by compromise, or by u
diplomatic appeal to the old national feeling against
foreign foe but now no compromise is possible,
and the only diplomacy left is that OF the sword.
Like Alexander, we cannot unite, aud must cut, the
Gordan knot of our affairs. Like Cesar, we have
passed the Rubcon, and must advance Like Cor

NUS, fight the out The crisis is no longer the
comparatively Insignificant affair of the secession
vi few States, but il is the crisis VI our national
existence. What Rome suffered during her in,es
tine conflicts what France suffered during her re-
youtons; what England suffered during her civil
wars this republic is suffering now. From these
cruel pangs must emerge d great and united
nation, the Kissing, the reproach, the scoti and
the by-word of the world. Ii we succeed we shall
rank the first among nations II we fail, Lib

sss the question as You NAY, there can be no
sane doubt but that the cause ct our i'll success thus
FIR hes been the want of unanimity in sentiment
and action at the North. Those Abolition fanatics
VINO adore the negro and despse the Union have
distracted counsels, impeded our arnes and
neuralized our advantages TO a strong but divided
North we have had opposed a weaker but more
united South. The Result was certain; for unanim-
hy 10 power 1t is now quite time that We had this
power our own side. The Aboitionists are the
ouy faction which prevent this aud therefore pre-
vent victory. The Abotionsts in the Cabinet, IN
