the pursuits of peace. All these things tend
to make a permanent change.
Formerly cotton was King. He claimed to
rule this country. That he did rule it, and
with heavy hand, cannot be denied. But he
has been dethroned, and corn has been pro-
claimed as King in his place. We trust cotton
can never be King again in this land.
Once more, this rebellion has greatly chang
ed the political relations of the country As
our armies have moved forward to subdue the
rebels, much property has been taken or de-
stroyed, and many slaves have been emanci-
pated, and many more will be- Formerly the
rebellious States were represented in the SEN
ate Now they are not, except fraction of
Virginia, and they cannot be at present.
Their people are actuated by hatred of the
people of the loyal States, and the Constitu-
tion. They have no inclination to elect Sena-
tors. If they should elect Senators none but
traitors could be elected. If such should be
elected it would be necessary to exclude them.
They could not take part in the deliberations
OF the Senate, nor take the oath of Office
Thus the shareholders, by waging this war,
have rendered it impossible to restore the
Union as it was. The secessionists have en-
couraged them to bring about this state of
things.
If this war continues, many more slaves will
be emancipated. They will never again be re-
turned to the shareholders, nor is it desirable
they should be.
If the rebellion shall be crushed after long
time-a loyal population may be introduced
into the rebellious States, and the political re-
lations of those States may be restored.
But If the concessionists have their way,
the rebellion will not be crushed. The war
will not be waged with all our means and en-
ergy. 1t will be procrastinated, till the nation
becomes exhausted from loss of life, and loss
of property. Then will the people, borne
down by burden of taxation which they can
not bear, and coerced by poverty and starva-
ton, insist upon peace without regard to the
conditions. Either the Union will be dissolved,
or the concessionists coming into power, will
bring us under the Southern Confederady. In
such case the government will be military
despotism. jew.
