The second lecture Of his course was deliy-
cred by Prof Brownson. L. L. D., last eve
ming, at Metropolitan Hall. The subject on
this occasion was, "Ihc War" Prof Brown
Eon was introduced to the audience BY Hon.
J. u. Wilson, and was greeted with hearty
applause.
After briefly recapltulatfng tue ideas which
lie he'd advanced in his lecture on Tuesday
evening, the lecturer remarked that this war
was not conducted for the purpose Of CO.
ercing any State back into the Union. The
Government had no authority to do that But
By the act Of secession, no State could place
itself beyond the control Of the United States
Government. The Government Ind the same
right to control snd manage the seeded
States that it lad over any territory on the
continent. The war WAS accordingly, justiaa-
bic, and absolutely necessary, II the Goyern-
ucnt would maintain itself. .-.
We as pcoD!c were too prone to 6ympa-
