The simple truth is, that this rebellion falls,
because it wa. not possible for it to cope sac-
cessfully for any long period. with the nigh.
tier power arrsyed against is, especially when
that power had right its side. 1t was cer-
tain, from the outset. that If the NorLh should
once really gather and put f,rth it's vastly su-
perior strength, the Confederacy would have to
yield sooner or later. nal SIS 1T should receive
help from abroad. Tae desperate efforts wieh

nelghborhood but his direct protection.

Accused as he is for all the ruin he has plotted

we do not hesitate to testify that he has been as
