in few months, aud assigns many reasons
as going to show that the North will soon
be adverse to its prosecution. One he as
ssrts to be that the "feeling of resentment
in the North is dying out, that the procla-
tiou is disapprOved, and denunciation of the
Government aud its measures freely per-
miued. That the North are finding out
they cannot "subduep the South, although
they may Overrun it. That the financial
condition of the North is approaching
crisis, and that Wall street is now for peace
and will no longer furnish the sinews to
sustain the war.

He then goes on and concludes thus:
