this Shareholders rebellion will make it
possible to discuss the subject, and there
cannot be any people 50 utterly stupid
as not to see the hlighting effects Of the

The war, too, is opening the eyes of
thousands in the North, whom party
prejudice and the arts of demagoYues
had bound unconseiously to the car of
the conspiratorss All things conspire
to compel people to investigate the mat
ter, and investigation can lead to but
one conviction. And that, conviction
dooms the system of slavery which has
so utterly obIiterated the moral sense Of
those who uphold it, as to make them
either the conspirators, or the dupes of
the conspirators, who are striking with
the red hand of treason against the Coy
ernment ofthe Union, and through that
against the freedom of any part of man
kind. For the principles of the con
spirators, if made successful, would re-
quire the enslayemcnt of the world.
