States four millions Of whites between
the ages of Is aud IS and IN the
South or disloyal States there are one
mill on three hundred thousand whifes
between the ages Of eighteen and forty
FIVE. Could We sui ject the South, with
even that proportion OF men IN our Ia
vor ? IL may he we could, bnt 1t is
extremely doubtful. But in their own
i fastnes.es they have allies-ihe blacks
I Their slics number two millions OF

and others, aside from women and chil-
! dren. OF those two milipns, perhaps
three hundred thousand are employed
IN domestic service, leaving one million
seven hundred thousand men to be EN-

have four millions Of whites in the
