But there is a country as well as President, q.
There is cause as well as an Administrator. 4

to control difficulties-to coerce unity among
materials. There is will in the "
chair at Richmond. There is will in the sad-

slavery, and hates liberty, Wasbineton 4 q
partial to liberty and rather dislikea 4
slavery. Rebellion is wise and sinful, Gov.
ernment is foolish.
